Corey Rudl and Affiliate Marketing

A pamphlet I had from Corey Rudl bubbled up from the detritus I had laying around.  I think if you're going to learn affiliate marketing you need to learn what it's all about off-line.  For one thing, online you never see anything as to how you're supposed to set it up as a business, how to handle taxes, etc.  Well, you're going to need to make quarterly estimated tax payments, for one thing, and learn something about Nexus laws, and incorporate yourself either in Delaware or Nevada.  That you never see touched-on in all the hyped-up promos for one person's program or another.  Also, I recommend you get some familiarity with setting up a website or a free blog, something -- so you are comfortable with the idea of generating content and how to manipulate a webpage (as in add images, hyperlinks, images with hyperlinks, all the editing you might need to do with a website, and so on).  When you get comfortable with that, maybe the whole thing won't seem so intimidating -- you'll be comfortable with at least one aspect of affiliate marketing.  Then you could join Wealthy Affiliate, or Bryan Zimmerman, or Dan Brock, and learn from them how to do this.
