Should I become a full time affiliate marketer?

I often see people asking here in the community if they should take the plunge and become a full time affiliate marketer... Well in my opinion that is not really an easy question to answer, as it depends on what you really enjoy doing.

But it got me thinking about a great quote from the late Steve Jobs:

Ready to put this into action?

Start your free journey today — no credit card required.

“I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”

So the morale is, if you enjoy promoting products and services and get all ecstatic when the weeks and weeks of writing finally pays off and you get ranked on page 1, then I think you have yourself an answer.

What do you think? Do you work as a full time affiliate marketer or part time and how is that working out?

Cheers
