A few days ago, I had an idea for a new way to pick ClickBank products to promote. The usual methods are to look for products that are making lots of sales and jump on the bandwagon, or to try to identify up-and-coming products to promote before everybody else does.

Yesterday, reading Alex Jeffreys’ “Post Launch Profits” (which you can get for free, by the way) [...]

If you haven’t been watching The Next Internet Millionaire, you’ve been missing some interesting content. (If you go there, click “More Episodes” below the video to start from the beginning.)
