I received commission for work I did 3 to 4 years ago

Do you know the power of residual income? A lot of singers get paid over and over for songs they worked on years ago. They get paid for work they did in 1999, 2005 etc. Do you know you have the same ability? Yes you can work your butt off now and continue to get paid for years to come.

Don’t believe that the only income available to you is the one from your job. If you don’t show up to work today you most likely won’t get paid. You have to show up every day to get a check. Residual income works differently. You set up the system, match the customer with their desired product and then boom!!! That’s it.

As long as the customer continues to use that product you get paid. If singers are allowed to get paid for their hard work over and over, why not you ? You are not worthy or something?

People are going to continue buying and consuming products whether you are the one that referred them or not. If you don’t get paid for that company getting another customer someone else will. Affiliate marketing is a real opportunity that gives real people like you and me an opportunity to earn more than just a 9 to 5 check.
