Hi! I am Bob. I am happily married with one daughter my wife and I adopted in 2011 from China. Both of us worked after we married. My wife, Karen, was a school teacher and I work as a CNC machine operator for a bearing manufacturing company in Sumter, South Carolina I am an hourly employee and have been employed with the same company for 26+ years. The overtime was great and lasted almost 4-6 years. Now, in the last year or so, as most companies try to cut back on the overtime by hiring more people to do the jobs. So, I have found myself in a position to find additional income.

I do not have any experience with affiliate marketing except what I have learned here since July 2018. When I hit upon WA, it was totally by accident from a link through an attempt to sign up with what I thought was an online payment system called PaySpree. Only to be sent here by a redirect. So, signing up was totally by accident. But, once here I realized that this was the best thing that ever happened to me (besides my marriage to my wife of course).

I have tried many different ways to make money as side gigs. I even attempted an MLM company after 3 years with the bearing plant, but it did not seem like my "type of thing". So, as a result of the decreasing overtime and my wife no longer working as a teacher. I have been putting the time in here to learn more about affiliate marketing and look forward to making my website a success. My wife has a pet sitting business with a website that I built for her on iPage, but now I have since moved it here and WA is now hosting that page.

I originally signed up and was paying monthly, and when I got a letter in the mail from PayPal offering me the credit I ran with it. I have since signed up using the Black Friday yearly deal with the PayPal credit. I have mine and my wife's website here and am taking advantage of the methods I have learned here.

And to tie it all together, I hope to be successful with my website and my wife's...with her help eventually. So that I will no longer have to punch a time clock, do more for myself and be able to spend more time with my wife and daughter.

So I am looking forward to moving on to a bigger and better future with Wealthy Affiliates...and saying goodbye to punching a clock to earn a paycheck.

I wish you all the best,
Bob
