Hey Fam!

So it's been a month since I joined this wonderful community, and I couldn't be happier.

Like most people, I have always wanted a job where I could make my own hours and work from the comfort of my own home... I mean wouldn't you? ... But we live in a society that taught us to be Conventional. Secure. Safe.

I worked in a corporate environment for 9 years out of college, for a resort company doing Marketing. It was OK. I had full benefits, a 401k, PTO, and a great team of people that I worked with. But the hours sucked and I had to work every weekend and holidays.

But I had wanted this life since I was young. I wanted to travel the world, so what a better way than to go to school for Hospitality Management and get amazing deals to travel?! Wrong. They work you so much that you rarely even have time to go travel, and it's never on holidays or when the rest of your family can take off of work.

There has to be something better. More fulfilling.

Every so often I would scour the internet for remote jobs. People do it. I can do it.

I was finding most options were either being a travel agent (and you must work nights, weekends and holidays) or computer coding.

OK, I'm smart. I can learn a coding language.

Nope, not for me.

Then I stumbled upon El-Jefe-Kyle's blog about Affiliate Marketing. How have I not known about this before? I can do marketing! I actually like to market products that I can really stand behind. What I didn't know was online marketing, and how much work actually goes in to setting something successful up.

And I do still work a full time job. I work for a local radio station selling ads and doing production. The great thing is that it is very flexible and allows me to jump on WA for 15-20 mins at a time throughout the day. In the first month I have been able to complete the first 2 lessons of the training. I feel like I have learned A LOT. I have gotten my first website up and running, and feel that I am on a good pace.

I knew coming into this territory that I would make sure that I act with integrity the whole way. I don't want to pick a niche that is 'popular' and will 'make me the most money FAST'. I vow with my websites that I will choose niches that have a greater cause. Will help people or the environment. There are many income opportunities within these niches, and also a message. I also believe that this is the way of the future. Spread positivity and breed awareness. I mean, just look at what Greta is doing!!

I have felt fully embraced by the community here at WA. To all of you, I say Thank you.

And for all the people that are newer than I am, here is my advice to you: Trust in the system and follow the trainings step-by-step. Don't skip anything, and don't think your above any of this. Kyle and Carson have created a very special platform for all of us to communicate, learn and grow. (Thanks, Guys!)

My husband has recently taken a traveling job to build mountain bike trails. My only focus is selling the house and getting on the road with him. WA gave me a foundation with endless possibilities. It is up to me now to put in the time and the work to actually be successful at this. If people are making $4,000/mo then so will I!

To anyone that is reading this, Thank you. I hope that you can share your story with me and how it was in the beginning for you. When did your website take off? When did you start seeing passive income? HOW MUCH passive income are you seeing?

And if you want to check out my first website, it's:

Feel free to comment on how you are making a difference :)

I look forward to being connected and watching you all grow and succeed!
