My name is Melvin Tan. This is my diary on how I am going to setup an affiliate marketing empire and be reasonably successful at it in 2009. I plan to document my every step and thought process of becoming an affiliate marketer. I needed an online diary to keep track of my progress, which is why this blog was born. The blog is written for my own personal benefit, but if you find this blog useful, feel free subscribe to my RSS feed.

I am starting this project now because January 08 is my birthday. I promised myself to be a millionaire by the time I was 30, but I missed that deadline by a mile. My new deadline is to become a millionaire before I die. I think this will keep me away from disappointment. 2009 feels like a good year for me and I have a good feeling about this project.

I am no stranger to affiliate marketing. I have been in this affiliate business for 1.5 years now, starting with eBay affiliate marketing and running several very successful websites. It is now time to branch out and expand on my knowledge and mistakes with eBay affiliate marketing. I do have a day job working as a project/business analyst. I graduated from post-secondary school with a bachelor’s degree in computingscience. I feel that this knowledge will be a natural fit for this project.

My objective is to spend no more than 3 hours per day/3 days a week towards this project. That’s all I can afford without neglecting my family, friends, hobbies, and personal hygene. If there’s anybody out there, thank you for listening.
