Premium Posts Volume 2016 is once again sponsored by Adsimilis, one of the world’s leading CPA networks.
They have been sponsoring these releases for many years, for which I am very grateful.
Some of the first breaks I had in this industry were thanks to recommendations and exclusive offers provided by Adsims.
They are a fantastic network, and if you get the chance to work with them, you should take it.

Thanks For Reading
As I alluded to recently, today’s post marks the end of this blog.
The volume I’m releasing was originally scheduled for last December.
Time constraints have forced delay after delay after delay.
It takes an immense investment of coffee beans to write the material that I like to write, to a standard that I am willing to publish, and to a standard that an audience as cynical as this one demands.
I’m proud of the end result, but the experience has confirmed that I’ve reached the end of writing about affiliate marketing.
My priorities have shifted.
There are only so many hours in the day.
Thank you to everybody who has bothered to read my shit over the last seven years.
It has been… a filthy pleasure.
Cheers,
Finch
That's a symbol Finch, not a metaphor :)
