Okay, so I don't think anyone has clicked on any of my google ads. At this point I have made $0. Or, some people have clicked on my ads and it just hasn't registered yet. I will continue to watch and let you know when I make a few pennies.
Step three has been a tough pill to swallow so far. My original plan was to do some affiliate marketing with the Amazon affiliate program. Amazon sells a lot of different products, and I thought it would be easy to incorporate Amazon into this blog. It should have been as simple as getting Google Adsense started, as Blogger also has an easy template tab for Amazon affiliates. But, I have come to find out that Amazon does not allow Colorado residents to be affiliates. According to the research I did, Amazon wants the state of Colorado to pay some sort of sales tax. Of course, Colorado does not want to pay this tax. In turn, Amazon fired all their affiliates in Colorado and will not allow new affiliates to sign up. This is also the case in North Carolina and Rhode Island. Now I am left wondering what to do next. There is plenty of opportunities for affiliate marketing, but I need to do a little more research to figure out what would work best for me. So, at this point, I am skipping step three. I will re-visit it some time in the near future.
