It seems like anything is possible when you realise for the first time that making money and nailing it online is with your reach doesn't it? 

I remember back at the start of this great journey I've been on. Shouting from the roof tops "well actually it was from under the covers of my bed" that I'd earned my first $500+ within the first 8 weeks of going through the wealthy affiliate training program..

I just couldn't stop grinning (that link is to the WA forum post I made)  

I was on cloud 9 for weeks and shoved WAU down the throat of everyone I met. Needles to say I had more than one buddy tell me to shut up already about affiliate marketing down the pub!

THAT...with hind site I would have done a bit differently, as in, I wouldn't have 'shouted out loud' but I would have certainly let 'em catch a glimpse of me checking my clickbank account, or made sure that I paid my CB cheques in whilst we were in town together,  Why? .. because my buddies are cash orientated

And why am I telling you this, well, as the title hint's there are certain things that you shouldn't do when you first start on your own affiliate venture. Now you may disagree with some of them but for me they were mistakes that cost me time, and more importantly definitely cost me money in one shape or form.
