New websites in 2008

I am an affiliate marketing junkie. That’s where the money’s at, so that’s where I am focusing on. Building websites around a niche or a product with a good affiliate merchant. I am still in a struggle about launching websites local(.co.za), international(.com) or both?

Projects I’m busy with at the moment and in this year is:

Lifechanger.co.za

It’s a project I am working on with some of my Canadian friends and it holds great opportunity of revenue for me, them and anyone else joining the system. Unfortunately it’s South African only for now…

Gaming Websites (including egames.co.za)

I am moving slowly but surely into the online gaming sector, because the market is huge. People play online games every day, at work, home or just when they are bored… I will also be launching more interactive game websites all over the net and not just locally. I am still testing different affiliate programs on these websites but I personally think that ring tones might do the job. I’ll let you in on the best way to monetize these types of websites as soon as I know.

This is like my baby, my joy, my pride. Launching early this year it will be the main and leading Affiliate Programs review website. I’m not doing the XHTML/CSS myself, rather decided to get the pros to do it for me.

Here is a preview of the search results:

You will see a list of programs like the above and then click on “Template Monster” in this case to get a full page overview of the campaign.

The great thing about the website will be that there will be tons of great functionalities like:

• Search by Niche / product / service your website delivers
• Search by Country, so that you can get international and local campaigns to run
• User reviews of merchants and networks

There will also be other areas like:

• Forums
• Free guides for beginners to experts on affiliate marketing
• Monthly Newsletter with all the new merchants added

So I look forward to launching some great resourceful websites this year, so keep tuned in to hear all about it.

UPDATE: Oh yes, I am also planning to release a couple of nice Wordpress Themes this year!

So what ideas do you have for 2008?
