You Might Think Im Crazy-Im Just Honest

You Might Think Im Crazy-Im Just Honest

Well gang I just wanted to touch base and let you know what my title on this post means.
As I look around the community I see several people doing really well and many are making a great deal of money. I think that is so great and I am so happy for those people.
However as a member of Wealthy Affiliate I think its fair for me to tell everyone what I expect out of my opportunity and what I would be happy with.
Okay before this just remember I absolutely am not crazy.

First off you should know that I am pretty sure no matter how good things go I will not be quitting my day job. I work for the Federal Government of Canada and lets just say the money is okay (not great) but the benefits and the pension are absolutely to die for and that is free money into my retirement savings every single pay check.
I have been around when the bottom fell out of an internet business where myself and my business partner went from making about $12000 a month to overnight making less that $400 a month combined.
I am working my business at a pace that works for me. I am making a little money. I am not making what I want yet. But here is what the entire article is getting at.
I will be absolutely happy making a couple grand extra a month. This would help pay for some things in life that are a little harder to attain. We do but this would help. The biggest thing it would help is so that we could travel a lot more.
Of course if my business starts making more than that I'm not going to turn it away but lets just say I am not and will not be relying on my affiliate marketing business to pay the bills.
I know many of you are going to have an opinion on what I just wrote and that's great because I would love to hear every single opinion.
Also don't take this the wrong way. I support every single person who wants to make a living out of affiliate marketing or any variety from anything they have learned through Wealthy Affiliate.

I just wanted to write an honest article about where I want to be and what I want to do.

Let me know what you honestly expect out of your affiliate marketing career.
