Introducing AffBook

I’m all torn up.

I’ve been writing for five years now about affiliate marketing on my name-sake blog, jangro.com, and it’s been pretty successful. Not REALLY successful though. I’ve sort of hit a plateau.

And every once in a while, I go through an identify crisis there. Is it a professional blog? Is it a personal blog? Is it both? Until now, it’s been everything.

This is a hard decision, because I’ve become fairly well known as simply “Jangro” in the affiliate marketing space. It’s sort of my brand. But so much other stuff has crept into that space on the jangro.com blog that they’re pushing the affiliate stuff out. For example, I posted a form called “Ask Jangro”, hoping to get some affiliate-related questions. I get daily questions about televisions. Alas.

DLP repair has taken over jangro.com. I didn’t intend for that to happen, but to be honest I make about $100 a day on affiliate sales on television repair products and parts. How can I ignore that? As much as I seem to have tried (squandered, really), it won’t go away. So it’s time to give in and see if I can grow that revenue. (I hope to talk about some of that here on AffBook.com.)

In order to allow jangro.com to grow in the direction it seems to want to go, and to grow more in my affiliate marketing writing, I need to split up the content. Something’s got to give.

The affiliate stuff is me. That’ll go with me wherever I take it. That’s the safe stuff to move, and here we are on AffBook.com.

AffBook? Am I writing a book? No. well, uh, maybe. In my head for now, this website is a book of sorts. A handbook on affiliate marketing. I’ve always wanted to write more about standard affiliate marketing stuff. I always seem to need some earth-shattering angle over on jangro.com and I leave a lot of stuff on the drawing board. This is where I hope to be able to publish more content like that. Stay tuned. This is going to be a fun change!
