So, the first 35 minutes of the video have been uploaded. I skimmed through it and goddamn do I have a bad habit of saying "Okay, so what we're doing...." Fucking horrible. Oh well. That 35 minutes took several hours to put together so I'm not very motivated at this point to change it much.

That just covers some intro stuff, signing up for the affiliate program, choosing your offer, and doing some research. Next, I'll get into building the landing page, signing up for Adwords and creating your first campaign. I'm going to use Adwords for this because its familiar to most people and Google can still provide a shitload of traffic. Also, Adwords is one of the more difficult places to optimize and it will be good for you to see that. I'll get into analytics scripts, and some other scripts that I use and some that I'm going to test on this campaign. I found an open source analytics called Piwik that I've been testing on another site and I really like it so far, also an open source heat map called Heatclicks that I haven't used yet, but looks promising.

Finally, I talked to the sponsor last night and I now have his credit card! Yay! So, I'll be getting some prizes ready, hosting and setting up the domain account. My goal is to be ready to launch this by Monday June 1st. If you're on the fence, get signed up soon. You must be signed up by the start date if you want to participate in the contest portion and take advantage of the free hosting and domain name.
