JTPratt's Blogging Mistakes





 
Mission Statement: Welcome to jtpratt.com! I'm John Pratt and I want you to know that my web site should help you save both money and time. I've spent the last 2 years trying to become rich online, and I what I found is that there are no shortcuts. It's hard work. I've hit paydirt a few times, and one month I even made over $4,000. I thought I had it all figured out, until the money stream dried up and my "shortcut" failed to work anymore. This site is a work in progress, but mainly what I do is document what works for me and how I'm trying to build a sustainable income online to support my family and build a future working for myself. I spend more than a hundred hours a month posting my experiences and mistakes for you - all I ask is that you participate here (by commenting) with what is (and isn't) working for you, and if you decide to buy or signup for something I recommend, please follow one of my affiliate links. Remember, the only one stopping your success is you!

As you probably already know, eBay left Commission Junction and took it’s affiliate program in house - which is now called the EPN or “EBay Partner Network”. eBay was Commission Junction’s largest merchant and I’m sure that CJ made the most money from them.
