While everyone was partying like it was 1999...
I was starting off with my first website. In the days before Facebook and Twitter, I was networking the old fashioned way - with message boards, guestbooks and Yahoo Groups.
A couple of years ago, I reached the height of my earning - I was making $6,500 - $8,500 per month. I was married to a bum that wouldn't work - thought marriage and public assistance was the only career options he needed. Long story short, I sold the website that was earning the most for enough to purchase a home for my kids and me - let my income fall because I didn't want him taking more from me then he already had - then I divorced the sponge.
In Fall of last year, I found myself essentially starting at ground zero. I've rebuilt a couple of blogs in different but similar niches and have worked myself back to $30 - $60 per day on average thus far.
Some days I struggle, wondering if I made the right decision - but realize I'd rather start over then pay him spousal support.
No matter what you are do - affiliate marketing is an awesome way to earn. You just need to find a product or service you truly believe in - have a passion about it - and have a real NEED to succeed - the rest falls into place.
Today I returned to my initial roots of providing support - only now it's for people who have a NEED to work from home. I have coupled blogging with affiliate marketing and love helping others get off the ground doing the same.
Cheers,
Gayla
