With its emphasis on love, February is a fun month to be an affiliate marketer.According to a 2010 U.S. Census Bureau report “America's Families and Living Arrangements”, there are 99.6 million unmarried people over age 18 in the U.S., or nearly 44% of the adult population. That statistic alone shows that Affiliating in the Season of Love can also be quite fruitful, if you like to play online matchmaker.
My first affiliate site was a dating site which has earned monthly commissions since January 1998 — and not just with dating services; as singles come in all shapes, sizes, needs, desires and wants — so you can promote products and services relevant to nearly any holiday or event throughout the year.
No matter what your niche, think beyond the obvious chocolates, candy and lingerie promotions in February — although they're good too! 🙂

But did you also know that it's National Aviation month? As a former air traffic controller with many pilot friends, that's a biggy in my books!

What's up with the picture of the poppy?
The red remembrance poppy is an emblem of Remembrance Day due to the poem “In Flanders Fields”, written by Canadian physician Major John McCrae on May 3, 1915.
These red poppies bloomed across some of the worst battlefields of Flanders in World War I, their brilliant red colour became an appropriate symbol for the blood spilled during in the war.
Nowadays, in Britain and throughout the Commonwealth, we wear the poppy in November to commemorate soldiers who have died in battle.
