iPhone Apps

It seems that I am a sucker for anything new that comes along right now. On the other side of the coin, I am learning something new from each adventure. So what is the latest?

One of my associates emailed me about this offer to sell iPhone Apps and make money from it. I took the plunge and signed up for it. Haven't made any money so far but I did learn about cross linking websites. This is something that is discussed in Weathy Affiliates but I just didn't quite get the connection. In essence, it is when you place a banner of your website on their website and place their banner on your website. So you will start see more and more banners on chuckytrader.com. Anything to drive traffic to my website.

The other thing it has forced me to learn is how to create my own banners. However, I am still in the learning phase on this one. I have one that I made from a free banner website but am not happy with it. I want some graphics and animation in it.



This is also making me learn Paint Shop Pro. It appears one of the easiest ways to create banners is through the use of Paint Shop Pro (or something similiar) and a GIF Animation compiler. I purchased Paint Shop Pro several years ago, but never used it. When going through the tutorials on making banners, using Paint Shop Pro was suggested. Wha, la, dig out the old box, load it, apply upgrades and we are off and running. My creative juices for graphics is not the best but am trying to come up a design for a banner anyway. Will see what happens.

Till next time.
