Does this sound familiar? When I first started out I posted some articles and posted in forums pitching an affiliate product - and yes, I made a few sales, enough to know that this was a legitimate way to make money online, but certainly a long way away from making a living online. (…)

Myspace invitations
Facebook invitations
Classmates.com notifications
Linked-in notifications and invitations
newsletter and subscriptions you've signed up for legitimately

But that's just my opnion…what do you think of bacn? (…)
