New to Affiliate Marketing

Most of us were unfamiliar with affiliate marketing before we joined. When I began my free trial here I was amazed at the vast amount of information available here in this great community.

I learned so much just within the first few days of joining and I am so glad that I took that step. If only I had done so sooner!

I had wondered for a while how people can make a living with a blog page. I did not know that almost every link in websites were not just links, but affiliate links that earned income and kept track of every person that clicked them. The concept truly amazed me and really grabbed my attention.

The Beginning

I'm sure if you found this article on google you've been doing searches for work-at-home jobs or something along those lines. There's no shame in that, I was the same way. I was searching for any type of work I could do from home because I hated the job I had and didn't feel appreciated.

If you've worked in the production industry, you probably understand how harsh the conditions can be in a manufacturing plant. I enjoyed the actual job itself, but being in quality control and having to deal with all the extra headaches just was not working for me.

So I began my search...

I found an online college that had medical transcription courses and I jumped in. Very excited to finally have found a job I could do from home, I maintained a 4.0 and did so much work to be the best I could be at my future at-home career.

Time went on and I had passed the halfway mark of completion. I joined a Facebook group of medical transcriptionists and I quickly posted asking for advice on job-hunting for the future.

I was informed by 95% of the group that medical transcription has become a dead end and that many colleges are even pulling the courses from their schools. Voice recognition technology has taken many jobs from these people. One lady informed me she had been in medical transcription successfully for 20+ years, and that she had been laid off a month prior to my post.

I was devastated and lost so much hope.

Dead End - Depression

Being a single mother for a while, it has been difficult for many reasons. My job only increased my stress. I love to work, but when I did not have a set schedule and had minimal help, it was very exhausting. My mother was the only one really able to help and her job is 45 minutes away from where I live. You can imagine the struggle that was every day.

I was giving up on the dream of working from home and being able to have more time with my children. I gave in and felt like I was going to be stuck at the cabinetry manufacturing plant forever. Depression hit me hard.

The Spark I needed

On one of my off days I decided to research and apply for other jobs while I had the time.

I came across Wealthy Affiliate.

My first thought was, "It's probably a scam like everything else seems to be." But then I saw that I could have a free trial. Well, that sparked my interest.

I started my trial and began immediately working on my website justbeachlife.com while following all the steps outlined in the lessons. I kept seeing that I could get a discount on my first month of membership. I ignored it for a while.

My free trial ran out and I was left to figure things out without the help of Kyle and the community. I was alone. I didn't think I would have problems doing things on my own, but the longer I tried, the more I realized just how much I needed the knowledge from this program and its creators.

My Progress and Opportunities

I decided to take a step and try 1 month of membership. I paid up and moved along with the lessons. Let me tell you, it was so worth it! There is such a wealth of information available to members here, and the community is so friendly and helpful.

I got my website completely up and running, joined affiliate networks like the ones discussed in the lessons, and just kept moving forward without thinking of looking back.

Keep in mind, I was working 40-60 hours a week, working on my website, and also started doing sewing projects on the side for extra income.

Since I was already close to paying off my home, I used the extra money I was getting from sewing to take that off my list of bills. That felt amazing, and like a weight was finally lifted off of my shoulders.

My website started to get more organic traffic and I started to get clicks to affiliate links on my page. Progress! YES!

I am not one to advocate just anything because I do not want something tagging along with my name if I don't think it is legitimate or honest. So believe me when I say Wealthy Affiliate is going to be the best investment you will make. My only rule to making this a SUCCESSFUL investment, is having DEDICATION.

You are not going to make money if you simply click through the lessons and do not act on them. You definitely won't get money if you do not take the time to set up your website and monitor it correctly.

But, you WILL be successful if you follow Kyle's step-by-step training guide in this program. He has spent so much time making videos and writing content for helping us achieve our goals. You will be provided every detail necessary to get your own personalized website up and running and learn valuable information about how to get FREE traffic to your website through Google and other search engines.

Want to know the greatest part about being a member? You can get one-on-one help from Kyle himself. That's right, you will get access to personally receive help from one of the main creators. What other company can you access the owner or creator that easily? Go ahead, I'll wait...

If you're looking to start working from the comfort of your own home, please at least give the free-trial a go. You have absolutely nothing to lose. During your trial you have access to all the regular member features, and will be able to interact with the community. You will come to find out how friendly and helpful everyone is within the first day of joining. I promise you will love the atmosphere here at Wealthy Affiliate.

I was able to leave my full time job and stay home with my children. I started working my website part-time in the evenings after work and when the kids would go to bed. Now I am doing both my sewing and managing my website full-time and my earnings increase the more my website ages and matures.

Plans for the Future

My goals for the next 3-6 months is to double my income and start adding my own products to my website. I have a t-shirt company sending me samples and working on designs for my own brand, where I will donate a portion of every purchase to cleaning our oceans.

I am very excited to see where things will continue to grow from here. I am so thankful I chose to start this journey with Wealthy Affiliate. If you have questions or comments, don't hesitate to send me a direct message on Wealthy Affiliate by joining the free trial today!

I hope you enjoyed this article and found it helpful. Whatever you do, don't feel defeated! There is always hope and always a silver-lining!
