One of the things I love best about working in affiliate marketing is the way things change almost daily. Whether it’s Google algorithm updates, new plug-ins or technologies, or the latest social media strategies, there’s always something new to learn. Here are just a few of the great people sharing their knowledge on affiliate marketing every day for free.

Kim Rowley Workinmypajamas.com @kimarketing
If you’re ever fortunate to meet Kim Rowley in person, first thing take a look at her shoes! After starting ShoppingBookmarks.com as a hobby in 1999, Kim parlayed her next site ShoeaholicsAnonymous.com into countless free pairs of shoes daily, plus a highly respected reputation in the affiliate marketing industry. So many people asked her about how to work from home as she did while raising her four kids as a divorced mom, that she created Workinmypajamas.com. While many of her posts include information on affiliate marketing, she also shares tips on everything from work-at-home ideas to organizing a home office.

While this is one of the newer podcast offerings, Winnie Anderson is working hard to secure experts on subjects like successful self-publishing, Apps 101, or learning all about email marketing.
