Which version of the novel do you prefer ?

I originally wrote it in Spanish, my native language. My English is OK, but probably not as good as my Spanish, especially not when writing something that needs to "read nice" (as opposed to, say, technical articles). I started translating it myself but the progress was too slow. I hired a translator, who was a native English speaker.

-Advertising affiliate offers from Convert2media. ($1496 profit so far this month) -Adsense/Lifestreetmedia on my Pirates FB app (Adsense: $29 this month. Lifestreetmedia: $47 this month) http://greenrobot.com/pirates -Mopub, Inmobi and Facebook ads on my iOS and Android apps ($14 from Mopub this month)

I want to get into Affiliate Marketing (especially Mobile Marketing) but where ever I look, it seems like just scamming people off their money. Are there any ethical and legal offers you know of?.

I've been looking at this as well and I also have very little idea what I'm doing. I found a spreadsheet on Bigger Pockets that helps evaluate properties as rental investments by plugging in some numbers. Apart from that, I just have some alerts set up on Redfin and a general idea of what parts of my city would probably attract good tenants. But I've seen enough stories about nightmare situations that I'd rather cove…

If you're interested in real estate investment and willing to do trivial math, I'd recommend Frank Gallinelli's book ( http://www.amazon.com/Every-Estate-Investor-Financial-Measur... ) for the basics. He comes across as a great guy (heard him interviewed on a podcast before I bought the book), has a really readable style (seriously, it makes real estate financials "light reading"), and generally seems focused on help…
