Here in the land of Peaches and Beaches we're now into full-on summer, which brings with it the joys of swimming, hiking, biking and an endless supply of fruit. There are also wine festivals, sailing regattas and of course, the annual Pacific Northwest Elvis Festival.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a car buff, I particularly enjoy the Peach City Beach Cruise, which is billed as “Canada's premier family oriented Rod, Antique and Classic Car Show”.<\/p>\n

All manner of fabulous cars line up and parade along our beachfront “Magic Mile” while restaurant patrons vigorously encourage passing drivers to “SPIN those tires!”.<\/p>\n

Aaah… but how I love the roar of big engines and the fragrance of burning rubber on a sultry summer evening in late June.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ed and I joined the parade last Friday night in my new\/old 1991 Mercedes Benz 500sl Roadster (AMG)… and no, I did NOT spin my tires… really, I didn't! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

But boy, we had fun! <\/p>\n

And once again, I have to thank affiliate marketing<\/a> for my good fortune and all the ‘extra' fun I've enjoyed since I became an affiliate marketer back in 1998. \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sure, it takes work to ‘get there', and all those summer diversions make it more difficult to sit down at your computer and get to work.<\/p>\n

But if you do it ‘right' – select and master a niche<\/strong> in which you're interested – you get to talk (write, blog) about what's fun for you, which is the next best thing to being there and doing the fun stuff.<\/p>\n

Better yet, getting the work done gets you more toys (or more savings, if you're so inclined) and even more ways to have fun.<\/p>\n

So, get it done. <\/p>\n

Take an hour and write that product review<\/strong><\/a> or <\/strong>newsletter<\/strong> and post it to your blog<\/strong><\/a>. You'll be amazed how writing just one post everyday builds your web presence, your list<\/strong><\/a> and your revenues. <\/p>\n

Then go HAVE fun!<\/p>\n

Cheers,
\nRos<\/p>\n
