Untethered Dreams

If you’re new to affiliate marketing you may be overwhelmed by all of the material there is to learn, all of the courses that exist, all of the so-called gurus who want to teach you the their surefire ways to make money online. Let us recommend just one established workshop that takes place at least once a year in Atlanta, called, NAMS (Niche Affiliate Marketing System).

We’ve personally taken this course and found that it is literally filled with wall-to-wall information from experts who have been in the business for years. You may not find their names up in lights, but then again they don’t tend to claim that you will become a millionaire overnight. And that’s a good thing, because as we’ve said time and time again, online businesses are still businesses that require hard work.

Although the name of the workshop includes the word ‘niche’, the pleasant reality is that you’ll find that there’s a wealth of information regarding subjects such as list building, marketing, technical subjects such as HTML, creating websites, creating videos, etc. that go beyond niches and can be applied to money making online and even offline.

For what amounts to less than $500 ($397 if you register by the end of May) you get three full days of instruction from 25 different next instructors. You could spend easily five times that amount to attend any popular conference, for example, Affiliate Summit. While we highly recommend eventually attending such conferences and loved our last experience at ASW, if you’re relatively new to affiliate marketing or even online marketing, then this is probably going to be much more valuable to you at this point in your journey.

We highly recommend you take this type of course given by people who can give you up-to-date information and allow you to ask questions and interact with them. Books and online courses are great, but there is simply a ton more value that you get from interacting with like-minded people in real space.

NAMS6 runs from August 19-22, 2011.
