Online Business - Earn as You Sleep - Is it True?
Hey guys,
Hope you are all doing well and grinding away on your businesses and are having small as well as major successes, so to speak.
Something happened to me a few days that got me really amazed and I thought I should share it with everyone.
I think it can go a long way for some people who are still trying to figure themsleves in the online world.
So here we go...
A Bit of Trip Down the Memory Lane
Before I tell you what happened, I want to take you a few years back, when I was just starting out in the online world.
That is when I joined Wealthy Affiliate.
Soon as I joined premium, my route was the affiliate bootcamp. I wanted to promote WA and make it to vegas to meet the super affiliates so that I could learn how to excel in niche marketing, with the niche sites.
And then I would get started with a niche site Immediately I come from Las Vegas.
Pretty brilliant plan, right?
Well, don't call me brilliant, yet, becuase things went downhill a few months after.
I did the whole bootcamp course and got to the place where it was all about publishing regular content and doing program reviews to increase my chances of making premium referrals.
I worked on my affiliate website for more 6 months with no single premium referral.
Yes, I had a number of referrals for the free WA account but no one actually converted.
As with all emotional people out there, I felt sad and disappointed that nothing substantial was coming out of the site.
I even took a break from the site although I was still paying for my premium subscription.
A few weeks later, when I was reading other people's blog posts here, I had a light bulb moment and I decided to act on it very fast.
I created a niche site and started doing the certification course, the alternative course to the affiliate bootcamp.
Surprisingly enough, I was able to make sales after 3 months.
And the site has been paying me ever since. I still make a good deal of income from it every month and I even created other sites.
Now to Why We Are Here...
Back to the affiliate website.
I kept it on hold as I thought it wouldn't work for me but somehow I didn't give up the domain. I still have it.
Last year, I joined the super affiliate program by Kyle to see if I would revive it and get something out of it but a few months down the line, after following through with the program, I put it aside again.
I actually said I would keep focusing on my niche webistes. (That is IYBP here and the others on other webhosting services)
But something rather strange happened a few weeks ago....
Out of nowhere, I got new referrals!
From the affiliate website.
This is a site I have not touched for months since mid last year so I knew it was lying somewhere in the last pages of Google where no one would see it.
And to sweeten the pot, I got my first PREMIUM sale!
(You can see Kyle's message here and the numbers on the plane changed from 300 to 299)
I just couldn't believe it.
I don't know what to call it, a miracle or luck or even the true definition of earning while you are "sleeping".
I am now thinking of getting back to work on it and see if I can get more premiums.
What do you people think about it? Have you had similar experiences?
I would love to hear your thoughts.
Cheers.
Dave

Hi Dave Congrats..
I did the same exact things
Blazed through the affiliate bootcamp
then a niche website
I have no success yet but am very confident.
I am not saying the affiliate bootcamp is not successful , I am saying that different things click for different people
Good luck to all
Shannon
Thanks a lot Shannon,
I totally understand you.
Keep pushing and for sure you are going to go beyond your expectations.
Personally, I think the reason why I have not made it to vegas yet is because I am not giving my 100% focus on the affiliate site.
If you can, you will definitely make it.
The bootcamp is surely valuable for getting up and running.
I wish you the best with your sites.
Have a lovely day! :)
