Are You Ready To Work Your Ass Off
to EARN the Lifestyle You Want?

this page contains affiliate links

Are you tired of the daily grind? I absolutely hated my job in 2010 and was looking for a way out. After years of icy-cold European winter mornings and hours of screaming kids in after school programs, I was ready to work for myself. With a laptop and an internet connection I built a small website that began generating more than $10,000 per month, and things were never the same for me after that. Now let me show you exactly how I've been doing it for more than 12 years.

My online business has allowed me to craft a lifestyle where I work less and spend more time on the things that I care about. My income is recession-proof, pandemic-proof, inflation-proof, and location independent. I have no commute, no work hours, and no boss.

Best of all, I get to take an extra 30 minutes every morning to sip a slow-brewed cup of coffee.

What type of lifestyle would you create for yourself?

I've been a successful affiliate marketer for 12 years and I want to show you how you can THRIVE in this business and turn your vision into a reality.

Earning an incredible income online is easier than you think and I can show you the exact steps to take.

If you have the focus to work and the drive to succeed, I truly believe you can generate a six figure online income, quit your job, and live life on your own terms.

Do you enjoy writing? Are you creative? Do you have a laptop and access to the internet?

If you answered YES, then you can be a successful online business owner.

I'm sure this all sounds pretty unbelievable at this point. I get it. Remember: I was in your exact position back in 2010. That's why I’m going to show you how everything in my business works right here on this page. No bullshit opt-in email list. No hidden message or paywall. I'm not going to actually train you for free (let's be real), but I'll show you how it works and you can pay for the training when you're ready to commit.

Just keep in mind that success will take longer than a few days. In fact, it’s going to take longer than a few months. It’s going to take a lot of work to get where you want to be. 

Look. I'm not going to coddle you and say that things are quick and easy in this business. You've got to earn it. At the end of the day it's worth it though. In 2010 I worked my ass off so that in 2022 I get to spend the afternoons chilling with my son at the park instead of grinding away at job I hate.

If you're not scared of a little work, then I'm confident you can be successful in this business. I want to work with you, and help you reach your goals.

Sounds cool, right? Here's a bit more about me, and then we'll get into how the business works. Here's some pics of me and my wife fixing up our house. I like fixing and building stuff, and have a small orchard in my back yard.

You might be surprised to know that even though I run a successful online business, I didn't go to college for computer science, web design, or marketing. In fact, I didn't go to college at all. Back in the day, I was an ESL teacher, making about $1000 per month teaching in Eastern Europe and China.

I was having a ton of fun traveling, but teaching sucked. I also realized that I never retire on my $12k/year salary. That's why I started looking into ways to supplement my income with an internet business.

As a total newbie, I had no idea what to sell, or how to start, and got very frustrated. I was even scammed a couple times.

I stuck with it though. I built a couple of failed websites in the beginning, but eventually the process clicked and my newer websites started making sales.

Within 18 months of beginning my training, my online income jumped to over $10,000 per month. Way more than I thought was possible! It's been 12 years since then, and my business has been earning fantastic income every year like clockwork.

Click the button below to start your own business using the same model I did!

My first successful website was about computer software. I was promoting VPN subscriptions online with a VPN review website. I didn't invent anything. I wasn't part of a Silicone Valley startup company.

Just a guy with a website.

If this is your first time starting a business, don't stress. The model is pretty simple, and you can earn money even if you have no previous experience.

• I'm going to show you exactly how everything works (no secrets!)
• You can follow the exact steps I took (updated for 2022)
• You can promote any products or companies you want!

What I do is called affiliate marketing. I basically promote products from other companies through links on my websites. Tons of people do this. I'm going to show you how everything works on this page, then give you the tools to start your own affiliate website and start making money.

If you're a read before you click type of person, there all the details are below. If you are a click and find out type of person, you can start your training immediately by clicking the button here.

The most common question I get is, “How much money can you make online?”

The answer is – as much as you want.

It's just like any other business. If you asked “how much money does a restaurant make?” or “how much money does an app make?”, the answer would be the same. It depends on many factors.

A mom-and-pop café will make less money than a fancy steakhouse, but a chain of fast food joints will earn more than either of those!

Likewise, with affiliate marketing, a hard worker will earn more than a slacker. Someone that dedicates five hours per day to building their business will earn more than someone who dedicates only one hour.

That being said, I want to give you an idea of what I earn, so you can see what's possible. I don't like to “show off”, but here's income proof.

These screenshots prove that yes, I actually make money online. I've been making over $10,000 per month for many years now. You'll have to make your first dollar before you earn ten thousand though.

Directly after these income screenshots, I'll explain how affiliate marketing works, then show you some example websites I own.

These were my first affiliate commissions. See how I started by earning just $23, and within one year I was earning over $5,000 per month from this one affiliate account?

These amazon earnings are more recent. In 2017 I earned over $9,000 from a “side project”.

When you get really good at what you do, you can start to earn huge commissions. Check out this $30k payday I had recently. That's just ONE MONTH.

There are two main things to take away from these examples:

1. Affiliate marketing works!
2. You can make a lot of money in this business

A N Y O N E can repeat what I've done. It doesn't matter what race, age, religion, or gender you are. You don't even have to be that smart. I'm a perfect example 😉

There's no job interview. No qualifications. No requirements. The only thing you have to do right now is take the first step and at least tryyyyy it and see what happens.

The process of how I make money is pretty simple.

I make small websites and publish articles on them. When someone types something into Google, they can find my website and read my articles.

Sometimes my articles link to products. If someone clicks my link and buys something, I make some money.

It's as simple as that.

In fact, you've probably already helped many affiliates get paid recently! If you've ever searched for a product review or read a “best of” list, then you visited an affiliate website and they earned a commission from your clicks.

It's a four-step process to earn money with affiliate marketing:

• Step 1: Make a website about something you like
• Step 2: Write articles about your topic
• Step 3: Link to products from companies like Amazon, Home Depot, or Blue Apron
• Step 4: Earn money from sales

Pick your topic and products starting on the next page!

There are already hundreds of thousands of people who are earning money through affiliate programs and online advertising. Technology has come a long way and it's super easy to build a website in just a few minutes. 

Here's an example of a website I made that earns money:

One of my hobbies is brewing beer at home. I'm not an expert brewer, but I love making beer (and drinking it!) So a few years back I started a website about it called xBREWx.com

Homebrewing is my passion. What's yours?

On this website I talk about a lot of different things related to homebrewing. I teach people how to pick the right equipment, how to put together a recipe, and list my favorite beers.

I share my personal recipes, results from homebrew competitions, and other stories related to making beer.

In the example above, I link to a company which sells a membership called the “Rare Beer Club”. The membership costs about $50 per month, and I make $12 commission for each membership I sell.

Here's another example called MotionSensorSprinkler.com. In my first home I had feral cats messing up my lawn. I learned a lot about how to keep feral cats out of your yard, so decided to help others do the same by building a website sharing my tactics.

In this website, I talk about different methods of keeping unwanted critters out of your yard like cats, bugs, raccoons, and deer. Anyone who ever had a deer eat their rose bushes knows how frustrating it can be!

If you had some gophers digging up your beautiful vegetable garden, what's the first thing you would do? You would go to Google, and search “how to stop gophers from digging up my vegetable garden”.

Websites just like mine rank, give advice, and recommend products. This sprinkler website earned almost $500 in February!

Crazy examples right? I'll be you didn't know that beer and sprinklers can earn money online. Any topic you think of will earn you money online too.

There are thousands of websites like this on the internet about every topic you can think of. Many of them are generating income for their owners. You can create a website like this about ANY topic you want. Here are just a few ideas.

Pick your topic and start building your website!

The main method I used to promote affiliate links and earn money online is by writing articles for my website. It's my favorite method to teach newbies because you can do all the work yourself.

That means it's super cheap to run this kind of business. It's not like other business models that require product inventory, staff, or rent.

As long as you have a computer, you can make money with this method.

If you can write, you can rank. If you can rank, you can earn cash money baby!

Writing an article that ranks in Google does take practice though. You won't be a professional online marketer by this time tomorrow, or even next week.

But with practice, you'll learn how everything works and will be able to write/rank an article without much trouble.

Website Ideas & Affiliate Products Brainstorm

Unlike many “guru” programs out there, I'm telling you that there's really no special secret to affiliate marketing. In fact, I'll show you exactly how it works right now.

Remember four steps from above? No? That's OK, let's revise:

• Step 1: Make a website about something you like
• Step 2: Write articles about your topic
• Step 3: Link to products from companies like Amazon, Home Depot, or Blue Apron
• Step 4: Earn money from sales

Let's say I want to make a website about home roasting coffee. Step one completed!

The main “work” of building the website will be researching topics and writing articles (Step 2), so I'd better pick something I really want to learn about.

Step two is to write an article on my topic. Knowing what to write about does require some training. Let's look at some quick examples, but you can get more details when you start your official lessons.

Let's continue with the coffee roasting example. Check out this screenshot below to see what I discovered in just two minutes of research:

Topics I found to write about include:

• unroasted coffee beans
• home roasting coffee machines
• green coffee beans for home roasting
• home roasting coffee methods
• home roast coffee in a popcorn popper

Writing about these topics is an opportunity to help someone. I can teach people how to roast green coffee beans at home.

When someone types “home roasting coffee machines”, or “can you roast coffee in a popcorn machine”, my website could turn up!

If you are not a good writer, don't stress. There are plenty of easy article formats to follow like “Top 10 Lists” or “Best of 2020” that don't require a lot of creativity to get ranked in Google.

I have a total of 8 proven successful formats I'll send to you after you start your training.

After you write and publish your article, what's next?

Step 3 in this process is to link to products!

With about 10 minutes of research I found a couple companies that pay between 4% and 15% to promote their coffee products! 

Home coffee roasters on Amazon sell for $300+ and will make me 4.5% commission.

What's crazy is that some companies, (e.g. computer software) pay 75%! 

In this example, one potential way to make money with my affiliate links is to promote green coffee beans in my article about how to roast green coffee. This is not an item many people find in their local grocery store, so there's a good chance they'll order online.

I can also publish an article comparing the top 3 coffee roasting machines, and earn commissions from those affiliate links too. It's OK to link to competing brands on the same page, so I'd get paid no matter which roaster someone buys.

Affiliate links on your website track click and sales, so you get credit for every item bought. You just need a website to start publishing your affiliate links!

If you didn't believe me that affiliate marketing really works, check out this Forbes article I found about espresso machines. See that Amazon link? Looks like Forbes is doing affiliate marketing too! (Any link that says amazon.to/#### is an affiliate link!)

What If I Don't Have Any Good Website Ideas?

There endless topics that could generate affiliate income online. You can write about or promote whatever you want! However, the incredible amount of possibilities can be overwhelming, and that leaves a lot of people saying that they don't have any good ideas.

There are literally hundreds of comments below saying “I don't know which topic to pick”, or “I don't have any hobbies so what should I do?”. (Get help picking your topic here)

The truth is, ANY website can work. People search for everything online. That being said, the most popular topics, which will always have tons of traffic and money-making options are Health, Wealth, & Love. 

Here are some basic ideas to get your creative juices flowing.

These are pretty broad topics, and could be broken down even further! Here's an example:

Weight Loss

• weight loss for women over 50
• weight loss for teens
• weight loss for diabetics
• weight loss for body builders
• ketogenic weight loss
• paleo diet weight loss
• weight loss recipes

…and the list goes on! The main thing to keep in mind is that your first website doesn't have to be perfect. It doesn't have to be a home run with your first try. I started three or four failed websites before I really got into the groove and picked a topic that worked for me.

My very first websites was about horse care, and it didn't last long. My first successful website was about computer software!

If this is your first website, don't put so much pressure on yourself. Just use the first idea that pops into your head, and you can always start a new site later after your mind has some time to chew on the concepts I'm talking about.

Can You Teach Me How To Earn Money With My Website? I'm a Newbie!

Absolutely, YES.

Remember, I started out just like you. I was a total newbie! I also had a terrible internet connection and a broken laptop. I didn't even have a desk to work on while I was living in China.

I'm living proof that even total newbies can make money online.

Of course, success won't come overnight, but if you are willing to dedicate at least a couple hours per week to building your business, then you will see results.

When I was in China and looking for ways to make money online, I didn't just start a website and become an instant success.

My journey really started when I read an article about Wealthy Affiliate.

They were teaching people step by step how to build internet businesses.

The strange thing was, they did not promise me riches, and did not guarantee me success. They said I needed to work hard, and work consistently. I was going to run into some frustrating things along the way, but there was a community of experienced entrepreneurs that would help me figure out the hard stuff.

Wealthy Affiliate helped me make my first sale online. I made a whole $5! Amazing, right? Not really. Five bucks certainly isn't a full time income.

But it was PROOF that I could actually do this.

After that I made my first $100. Then my first $1,000. Then $10,000 and beyond.

Pretty soon, these milestones turned into consistent, reliable income. After 18 months, I quit my job in China and moved back the the US to work from home.

My dream of having the free time to travel the world and save money for my future at the same time had become a reality thanks to Wealthy Affiliate. This is your chance to make your first sale and begin your journey to reliable online income.

My Success Story Timeline

Take a look at one of my first posts in Wealthy Affiliate in 2010, just a few weeks after joining. Yes, I was a total newbie…not making any money yet!

I tracked my progress every year. Although there were many frustrating moments when I wanted to give up, I kept doing more training and building my website bigger and bigger. Once I started seeing some tiny results, I really kicked it into overdrive.

My first sale was only $5, but within 18 months I was making $11,000 per month!

Here is my 2 year anniversary post from 2012.

Less than a year later, I had quit my job to “go full time”.

I've been working online full time for about 8 years now. I think it's pretty obvious why I give Wealthy Affiliate so much credit for helping me succeed online.

Plus, consider this: Even though Wealthy Affiliate was great back then, they are even better now.

Here are features that I didn't have access to, but now new members get as part of their membership:

Meet Successful Entrepreneurs And Learn From Them!

Wealthy Affiliate contributed tons to my success as business owner. But I am not the only one. There are thousands of other people inside the members area that are currently running their own internet based businesses.

Some are millionaires. Some are grinding to build their business just like you.

Read their blog posts and learn from their experiences.

Ask them questions and get 1-on-1 help.

See their website and learn to make yours better

Mentorships with other companies can cost you thousands of dollars per month, sometimes even more than $1,000 per HOUR. I'm not joking.

But you get to talk to these people for free as part of your membership! Imagine a Facebook style website but just for people that want to build earn money online.

Now you're getting the idea 🙂

I'm inside every day helping other members, and I can help you too. I take time out of every day to answer questions.

Yeah buddy, you'll get personal 1-on-1 help from me. Just send me a message and ask me something. Try it out!. Here are a couple amazing responses I got from members I've helped out (printed with their permission).

I have a great time doing it, so if you join up, please don't feel like you're bothering me. I'm totally fine with answering all your newbie questions. Those are the easy ones 😀

Wealthy Affiliate is not one of those websites that wants you to pay up front to “learn the secret” of making riches online. If you've read this entire page, you already know the core concepts of what's inside the training.

Still, it's pretty scary joining a “how to make money online” style website. How do you know this isn't some kind of scam?

So to show you exactly how awesome the training is, and exactly how fast support is, and exactly how friendly everyone is, you can create a free Starter Membership. 

With this free membership, you'll be able to build your first website and ask unlimited questions. Kyle (the owner) will show you step by step how to pick a topic for your website, how to build your website, and how to create your first articles.

Everything I talked about above; the live chat, the step-by-step training, and access to other successful internet business owners is available for exactly $0. They don't even take a credit card.

You can access all of these things for a full 7 days, and then you have the option of upgrading to a premium membership. It's absolutely zero risk to join, so what's holding you back? Sign up for your free Starter Membership!

Now that you built your first website, took the Level 1 training course, and even used the live chat feature to ask some questions, what's going to happen next?

Wealthy Affiliate also offers a Premium level of membership.

• 24/7/365 Instant Live Chat Help From Me, Other Members, And The Owners

• Personal 1-on-1 Coaching From Myself, A 10-Year, Six-Figure Affiliate Marketer

At this point, let's be real. All of that stuff sounds nice, but it's probably not super clear what everything does or why it's important.

That's why I try to focus on the #1 most important thing about Wealthy Affiliate: the help you get from the community.

Just about every “make money online” product out there is basically a PDF guide or a video series, or maybe an lackluster Facebook group. The best thing about Wealthy Affiliate is the thriving community of people who are there to help you build your business.

Notice how question are being asked every hour and they already have responses? Popular questions can get hundreds of replies!

If you're reading this page and have any questions at all, I highly recommend you create your account and post your question to the “Getting Started” classroom.

Wealthy Affiliate Can Help You Reach Your Goals

We all have different goals. I'm a guy that likes adventure. I was able to quit my job teaching English to spoiled primary school students and spend more time on the things I care about, including…

• Schedule a brew session or go on a motorcycle trip any day I want
• Purchase my first home
• Learn to dive in Malaysia
• Buy a motorcycle and drive across the USA on Route 66

If you couldn't tell by the title of my site, I'm totally not a morning person. Now I don't have to wake up at 6:30AM and drag myself out of bed to go to a dead-end job.

Those are the things that are important to ME.

Let's talk about YOU and what you can get from starting your membership today.

• Do you want more time with your family?
• Are there places you want to go and things you want to see?
• Do you no longer have job security, or even hate your job?

Wealthy Affiliate is an investment in your future, and an investment in yourself.

Wealthy Affiliate is the road map to owning a profitable online business. Premium membership is only $49/month. No secret upgrades. No expensive mentorships. No surprise payments.

Many people spend $5 a day on Starbucks coffee or $100 per month ($3 per day) on cable TV.  These consumer items do not better our lives!

Isn't it crazy that for just a dollar fifty per day you can access a thriving community of internet entrepreneurs that want to help you build your first internet business. I highly recommend that you invest in yourself and join Wealthy Affiliate!

There are so many opportunities to earn money through affiliate marketing, it really is the most exciting time to be a part of this industry. The internet cowboys of the past have blazed a trail for you. All you need to do is follow in their footsteps and start your training.

It only takes that first step to begin the journey. Are you ready to take that step? Imagine how you will look back on this day in 12 months time. You will thank yourself that you finally made the decision to take a risk and invest in yourself.
