Hola.

Welcome aboard. You'll find that your research skills will be incredibly valuable here.

I'm unfamiliar with the Spanish legal system, but if you were here in the states I would offer this one piece of advice:

Screw all that. Just START.

If you find a golden egg that forces you to incorporate or discorporate or schizophrenate worry about it then.

Today, get a campaing running. Spend some money out there in the real world.

Go.

I spent nearly 8 months studying and researching and waiting for the perfect system. And I'm talking 6-8 hours a day, every day on top of my full time job.

I'm not saying it wasn't valuable, but I'll tell you what.

The first time you get a call from an affiliate manager congratulating you on a good day... the first time you get a check from a network... the moment you have that first "Eureka!" and create your own method that no one else has ever talked about and you see that first lead come in after you set it up... those moments are so much more valuable as a learning tool than any book you can read.

Why?

Because they get your mind out of "Can I do it" mode and into "I can do it" mode. A subtle change to be sure, but without it you're just jerking yourself off and staying in your comfort zone. You'll never grow, or learn or EARN until you make yourself miserable enough to START.

Plan to fuck up. Make it part of your goals to get banned from a network, to have a shitty campaign, to lose money. Plan for THAT and the mental burden of starting becomes almost fun.

This is the voice of experience talking. When I decided to intentionally burn some bridges, I actually started making some money. Until then I just kept downloading and reading and trolling forums.

So go for it. There's almost NOTHING you can do that can't be fixed easily in this business. Try not to piss off any blackhats and try not to burn personal bridges with the networks if you can help it (LLCs and mailing suites are useful for the more <cough> experimental <cough> methods).

Bienvenidos.
