An affiliate who refused to quit
=======================
Cameron Diamond has created a string of affiliate websites in a tough niche.

Hole in heart surgery
=================
Affiliate coach John Gibb’s baby boy, Kai, has just had surgery to repair a hole in his heart.
“He is in recovery now (intensive care), so fingers crossed for the little man,” John told me today.
I hope that goes well.
John is one of the hardest working affiliates I know, capable of a prodigious output of articles and new websites. He thoroughly deserves all his success.
Lately, he’s been planning a huge revamp of his Healthy Wealthy Affiliate (HWA) site, turning it into a free resource for affiliates.
He’s churning out no-BS advice, based on his decade of experience in affiliate marketing. Why would he do that? The site will pre-sell his exclusive, one-to-one coaching.
Launch date for the revamped HWA is a couple of months away, but you can already get a taste of the sort of no-nonsense advice John provides here…

(I particularly like John’s cunning idea for what he calls “reversal pre-selling”.)

In the meantime, remember those big plans you had to make 2013 your best year yet? I hope you’re doing well.
Here are some affiliates who ARE doing well…
