My name is Dave Hayes & I am from the south coast of the UK, near Bognor Regis. in a place called Chichester, which is not far from Portsmouth

I have been associated with online affiliate marketing Since 1999, I was stiil employed at that time, but knew that the Internet could provide me with an opportunity to leave that job and work full time from home ... IT became my GOAL

The other reason being that the Internet, is a form of Direct Reponse Marketing, which to me, is the most exciting industry in the world to be associated with

LOW start up costs... Very HIGH Profit margins

From that time until 2008, I did what most affiliate marketers did and promoted, various MLM opportunities, VERY hard and for LONG hours, trying to MAKE money, earning commissions which effectively equated to no more than a few hours OVERTIME in my day job, which I was still doing.

BUT...

I specifically, wanted to work FOR myself, with my OWN Online Business & I believe in the concept of MLM / Network Marketing, because we all do it one form or another every day

Then in 2008 I was introduced to a book at that time, which explained that the BEST Way to Make Money online & from MLM was to

STOP

trying to MAKE MONEY by promoting your opportunity, because No one is interested in it and ...

>>>Focus on Building my OWN list on a Domain I owned

>>>Use an AUTORESPONDER, to house THAT list

>>>providing, Advertising Products & Traffic Generation solutions business owners need... AND want, through a marketing system, which works for you 24/7.

Doing this means that you will ATTRACT 100% more prospects and they will be the people that DON'T want to join your opportunity

It also explained EXACTLY How to do JUST that

SO, Since that point, and to date (it has been 9 years & counting since I QUIT my Job)

I have been associated with the 'NICHE' of

Quality Advertising Solutions....


You See, as an Independent online business owner, which WE all are, your business has TWO Parts...

The MARKETING Part, which funds the Product / Services part & ...

The OPPORTUNITY part

NEITHER can exist without the other.

The MARKETING system, I had in place prior to coming to Wealthy Affiliate.

The BLOG, though I did not, I had used a few hosting companies, EACH of them caused issues for my self hosted blog, so I began looking for a good host, which HAD to have WordPress Training attached

Having been affiliated with three other WordPress hosting companies since 2008, all of which provided problems and issues, I looked for a better platform

After very EXTENSIVE research, I found THE platform

In my honest opinion... WEALTHY AFFILIATE is THAT platform, simply because it uses AWS as opposed to WordPress specific hosting

Since being here, and following both the Online Entrepreneurs Certification course and Affiliate Boot camp Course , I have learned a lot which has increased my value to others & it has made me a better person as well


Now, just going back to the success I had back in 2008, it meant that within 6 MONTHS of STOPPING trying to MAKE MONEY online, BUT by providing

>>>Advertising and Traffic Generation SOLUTIONS...

I had successfully left my very secure DAY Job to work for myself in 2009

I was earning MORE per MONTH, than my day job!... So it was a No brainer decision : ) & made WITHOUT the aid of a SAFETY net!

So. I now, teach others how to do the same.

I have a step by step plan, which if followed will work for ANYONE in ANY Industry, no matter if its online or Offline


I have also discovered the 'SECRET' to earning a significant amount of money online.

That 'secret' lies with owning your own business, but slightly more specifically than that, it lies with...

OWNING your own MEMBERSHIP business, on a domain you own, selling

Advertising Solutions that business owners WANT, NEED and MUST have

Then you have to STAY FOCUSED, BUILD your OWN list consistently & DAILY

Above ALL...

AVOID... >>>>>> Shiny Object Syndrome! : )


You know the email that pops into your inbox, promising LOTS of Money, for very little work ~ EXCEPT it doesn't exist

Do that, Stay Focused, Committed and Coachable on a daily basis & ...

SUCCESS comes!

>>> AWAY FROM WORK

I am happily married to my dream girl and ideal lady, we live in a Lakeside Lodge and have a cat called Charlie, who at times can be like a rumbuctious, petulant teenager!!

I like all forms of music and comedy, plus re reuns of classic 80's sitcoms and US Cop Shows, like Starsky and Hutch, Criminal Minds,

For my sins I am a total football obsessed man, who supports Chelsea and AFC Wimbledon, my parents came from both towns.

Thanks for reading & I look forward to building a mutually beneficial rleationship going forward
