When I say he earns over $30,000 a month, keep in mind that, as of this writing, he has been at it for three years -- has over 70 specialty shopping sites on the go -- and has published nearly 12,000 pages of relevant content to the Net.

And his traffic is humongous!

In short, he runs a bona fide business -- more precisely a publishing business -- not the kind of gimmicky, Internet based, "instant" money making scheme showing up with nauseating regularity in our email in boxes these days.

If the truth be old, James is a guy who was in the right place at the right time.

You see, after the dot-com crash on Wall Street of 2000 -- where investors lost billions on flaky Internet ideas -- only the best could survive.

And when I say "best", I mean only companies that actually sold products to consumers on the Net and made a profit.

As strange as it may seem in retrospect, "making money" was not a pre-requisite in the "hyped-up" days of the tech stock boom.

So these "surviving" enterprises had to take a far more realistic view or perish with the others.

Many smart companies, with Internet operations, then began abandoning -- or enhancing --"traditional" marketing methods with a new form of advertising called pay-for-performance.

And it's "pay-for-performance" advertising that fuels James' success, as well as the success of untold thousands of other website owners around the globe.

You see, these Internet sellers -- known in the industry as "merchants" -- could now easily affiliate themselves with already established "publishers" -- big and small, home-based or not -- by letting their "affiliates" or "publishers" place advertising on their sites with the agreement that only if a sale were made from that advertising link would commissions be paid.

The concept has really taken off because it took away the risk -- and high cost -- for companies offering their wares on the Net by gaining widespread exposure virtually overnight.

Enter people like James Martell and thousands worldwide with Internet publishing skills, who deliver the traffic and get paid a commission on sales via "cookies" placed on surfers browsers, so that if a transaction with any particular merchant occurs, then it can easily and automatically be tracked to its source.

And ingenious idea. And one with a future.

So its no wonder that affiliates make money.

But, as in any enterprise, some succeed while others don't.

Enter James Martell once again.

The remarkable thing about James is that while others set themselves up as "experts" with affiliate programs -- and sold e-books, courses and newsletters about it -- James went about quietly building successful websites, learning through trial and error what works and what doesn't -- and joining hundreds of affiliate programs in the process.

This sets his tutorial head-and-shoulders above the rest.

Uniquely, his manual -- available only in a PDF format -- walks the reader through each critical step -- and mini-step -- of the process of researching a viable topic and building an information rich website around that topic, so that, hopefully, a web surfer clicks-thru to a recommended merchant and a commission gets paid.

The nice thing about this 257 page training -- chock full of helpful screenshots -- is that it assumes the reader knows nothing. This makes learning easy for entry-level people, or newbie's as they are sometimes called.

But make no mistake. Internet pros can learn a few things too.

His overall organizational approach is ingenious. And if it were to be adopted by those already successful, then they would probably see a spike in both traffic and earnings.

The only thing I can knock is the price, which is higher than most. Quite a bit higher, in fact.

And regrettably, James says his price will continue to rise in concert with demand for his training -- so as to keep a lid on competition.

But, maybe that's a good thing for those applying his ideas. In any case, check it out.
