I brought on a new protege to help with all of my affiliate marketing happenings - a little guy named Jack Collins.
Jack Collins was born at 3:04pm on Friday, August 25th.
He came in at 8 pounds even and 21 inches long.
So far, he's got blond hair and blue eyes. Jack aced his Apgar test scoring 9 out of 10.
Meet the newest affiliate marketing Collins at http://www.babycollins.com.
While I'm training Jack on the ways of the industry, I'll be taking a bit of a paternity leave over the next week.
