LOL!

I just read my first blog post on Wealthy Affiliate. It was titled "So I either made a life changing decision or got scammed".

Well I'm here to report 1 year and 3 months later that it was a life changing decision.

I went from ~$100 in the bank to over $3000 every month. Keep an eye out for my next Wealthy Affiliate blog post at the end of March (or early April). I'm on course to making around $3500. We'll see what happens!
