My First Hub

My main goal is to promote products and services as an affiliate in exchange for a commission by way of check sent to my mailing address or a payment to my paypal account or a direct deposit linking to my checking account.

Now as an affiliate or publisher,I represent over 85 different companies that have little or no similarities to each other. As an affiliate,I am free to promote what ever I feel comfortable promoting, such as for example a hosting company like two that I am promoting now on my web site.

So my job is not to sell the product, my job is to promote the product. In other words I post an article with information on a particular product or service and have it linked to the actual web site or landing page of that product and leave the actual sale up to the owner of the company with the prior help of my promotion of that particular product or service.

Now one of the products that I happen to be looking into involves hiring nannies ,and another involves watching direct tv on your computer,while another involves plans for making a shed,,so as i stated before, there doesn't have to be any similarities between the products that are being promoted by the affiliate .

I enjoy doing this because it isn't difficult and I like working on the internet .This is my first hub page and I wasn't sure what to write about in my first text article so I am being completely honest with the readers as to what I am writing about which happens to be what i am involved in as an affiliate and what I think I should relay in an article on the subject.

Now I am going to turn your attention on a company that I am promoting and I am sure you've heard of USA TODAY, a national American daily newspaper published by the Gannett Company. It was founded by Al Neuharth.

The newspaper vies with The Wall Street Journal for the position of having the widest circulation of any newspaper in the United States, something it previously held since 2003.According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, the paper has 1.9 million copies as of October 2009 compared to the Wall Street Journal’s 2.1 million though this figure includes the WSJ’s 400,000 paid for, online subscribers.

USA Today remains the widest circulated print newspaper in the United States. USA Today is distributed in all fifty states, Canada, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam.The newspaper has its headquarters in Tysons Corner, unincorporated Fairfax County, Virginia.

USA Today was founded in 1982 with the goal of providing a national newspaper in the U.S. market, where generally only a single local newspaper and/or a metropolitan daily’s state/regional edition was available. The first issue reported on the death of actress Grace Kelly.

Colorful and bold, with many large diagrams, charts, and photographs, it contrasted with the relatively colorless papers of the time such as The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Emphasizing its national focus, USA Today became well-known for its national polls on public sentiment.

Another distinctive feature is its “Our View/Opposing View” editorial column, which features not only the paper’s view on a current event, but also features the view of someone (individual or group) defending the opposing view. USA Today is the fourth-largest English language newspaper, behind The Sun (Britain), the Daily Mail (Britain) and The Times of India.
