"Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try." After watching Empire Strikes Back for the 193rd time, I realized....I wanted to watch it for a 194th. I also realized Yoda might be trying to tell me something. I'm a worker in the finance industry and part time voice actor. Also part time Jedi Knight since I have 6 lightsabers in my closet. But affiliate marketing beckoned...
I spent a long time building toward a career in voiceover work, voicing projects such as video games and online commercials. I tried ripping into the industry like Ebenezer Scrooge into a Christmas pudding, and I did make alot of progress. However, as Master Yoda might say, "Strong, the wanderlust is with me." I love to be on the move and traveling. The lifestyle of a voice actor just didn't allow the freedom I was looking for. Not to mention the income. So after living off of grubs and dirty ditchwater for the third week in a row and wondering when I would ever be able to afford to go on another trip, I did the only thing I could. I put in the 1995 Return of the Jedi VHS and pondered life's questions.
After helping the Rebels defeat the Emperor, I went to work marketing for my voiceover business, as I did often. For those sweet moments I was my own boss and nobody could rush me. It was just me, my computer, and the DragonHeart theme playing in the background. Then I started to realize, I think I enjoy online marketing more than alot of the actual voice work, having to deal with all the baggage that goes with it. No wait, I really really like marketing and I think I might want to do more of it. No, scratch that, marketing is cooler than the Ice Queen at
at a ski resort and that's what I want to do!
After making that decision I started doing some research which, long story short, trimmed, then cut length-wise, led me to affiliate marketing. Then it led me here. I'm still new to the concept, but the main thing I loved was the business-model. Long-term business plans with everything you need at your fingertips. No more rummaging around the deepest corners of the internet, trying to unearth the Holy Grail that will then lead you to your next task like a deranged Knight of the Round Coffee Table. All the tools are here. Now it's just a matter of working. Down to the nitty gritty.
So as I put on my hat and coat and whistle zip-a-dee-doo-dah down the trail of affiliate marketing, Mr. Bluebird will be on my shoulder. For those of you who have seen Masters of the Universe (1987, check it out), I wish you "Good journey."

LukeMunson's Goals 3
Money Goals
1
Money I would be happy earning
For now I make only 2K a month at my day job! When I begin earning more than that as an affiliate, I'll taste success and want seconds! For now my goal is to be financially self sufficient. I could do that with about 30,000 a month. Not much, I know, but worth working toward!
2
Money I would be ecstatic earning
Well I'll be ecstatic with my first penny, but I've heard plenty of affiliates talk about how ecstatic they are earning 6 figures. Sounds like a goal to me.
3
Time I'm willing to invest to achieve my goals
I built a voiceover business by coming home from my day job and hammering away at recording. Now that I have begun scaling the wall of affiliate marketing, I am not only willing, but I AM spending evenings and weekends on my new business. As much as it takes me, as long as it takes me, so long as it takes my day job away from me!
