I'm an Affiliate Marketer

I'm earning money for my family as an affiliate marketer

I'm a work at home Mom who is trying to earn a few extra dollars for my family by way of affiliate marketing.. 

I don't build, create, or stand behind any of the products that you purchase from any of my sites but I can promise you that I am very careful about who I am an affiliate for and I always choose well-known upstanding companies and products that are of good quality and value.

Nothing you purchase from any of my web pages is being sold directly by me.  You will always be taken to a well known and reputable site to make your purchases.

I receive a small royalty for sending you to the various sites but rest assured that your purchase price will never be any higher for my services.

My royalties have already been built into the price that you pay so whether or not you buy your items after clicking a link on my page, or if you go directly to the chosen site, you will always pay exactly the same price.

Why am I telling you this...

FTC Disclosure

In light of the new FTC rules and regulations I've decided to share all of the places I post affiliate links and all of the affiliate programs that I belong to. 

I'm not sure if this is neccessary but I felt that it was important to disclose everything.

You see, I didn't start out to be an affiliate marketer or even a web content writer, I'm actually a frustrated  fiction writer.  Affiliate marketing just sort-of came to me.  I enjoy writing and when I discovered that I could earn a bit of income for doing what I love, I decided to take advantage of that. I don't know all of the rules and requirements yet.  But here I am, and I am earning some money doing it so I want it to be clear to everyone who might purchase something from one of the places where I write that I do earn royalties from those sales.

I'll be posting the link to this page at each of the sites I write at and if you're here, you must have been reading something I've written so I'd also like to take a moment to say thank you for that.

My Sites and Blogs

Cabaret Squidoo Best Recipes Arcade
Cabaret Squidoo Best Recipes Arcade is my recipe blog where I promote the best recipe pages from Squidoo.com and products related to my blog posts there.
Most of my affiliate links there will lead you to Allposters.com, Zazzle.com and Amazon.com.
Giant Squid Community Showcase
The Giant Squid Showcase is my blog where I feature the work of the Giant Squid lensmasters at Squidoo.com. I very rarely post links at this blog.
Fresh From Your Garden
Fresh from your Garden is another blog I write about Garden Fresh Recipes, Gardening Tips, and Garden inspired Decor. It isn't as developed as my other blogs but I do post links to Allposters.com and Zazzle.com products there.
Yet Another Blog
Yet Another Blog is another blog written by me. It's basically written for me too. I post about my lenses and my own goals there. I do also post links from Allposters.com and Zazzle.com there but the links are mostly there just for the fun visual effect. I really don't expect to sell anything there.
My Hubpages Account
I've written several Hubs at Hubpages.com. My affiliate links there are to Ebay.com and Google Adsense.
Grab a Tee
Grab a Tee cute, fun, and funny t shirts.
At my newest venture Grab a Tee, I market t-shirts and hoodies sold by Zazzle.com and also cool posters from Allposters.com.

These are my Squidoo Lenses

Lenses by rms at Squidoo

I do most of my affiliate marketing at Squidoo.com where in addition to writing pages, I work freelance as a Giant Squid Organizer and Giant Squid Mentor.

At Squidoo.com in addition to the the available Squidoo money-maker modules I also add links from Allposters.com, Zazzle.com. Cj.com and Shareasale.com.

If you're interested in affiliate marketing Squidoo.com is a great place to start. You can begin by clicking on the "Build my own page" link found on every Squidoo.com page.
