How my Journey Into Affiliate Marketing has Delivered The Education that I Needed
I started my journey about one week ago when I decided I was going to start something that I had been putting off for a long time. Affiliate Marketing. I began my search for a way to make money online about 3 years ago and would start up with a product online and would not get very far before I lost interest and threw it away. The reason being is that there was not enough information or training that went along with the product. Finding myself stuck and not being able to get the support or training I would just give up and therefore moved on to another program only to find the same process happening again and again.
Through all of this I was still working full time for a International company that was paying me a nice salary with bonuses but the work was very demanding and I had a very harsh manager always on my case. I knew that there had to be a better way to earn my income and I came to the conclusion that I would like to start my own business working for myself and new that it would be great to do that from home where i could spend more time with my son as well, as I am a single Dad.
Then, just last week, I came across Wealthy Affiliate when browsing online. I knew I had seen it before online but had never looked that far into it because I had been let down by other programs. I researched it and seen the video training and the support it offered and though to myself that this had all the things I needed that the other programs failed to have.
Progressing Along Nicely
One week into it and I have my free website up and running, my own domain, and have built out 3 pages but they are not complete yet as it is always a work in progress as we know. I have been stuck a few times with various things but Kyle, Carson and the Wealthy Affiliate community have been a great help and guidance. The video training has helped me so much and with extra video training from Jay things are not to shabby at all. My website is called workfromhomewithpaul.com and I am still working and learning new ways to improve it everyday by using the videos provided inside this program. They are very educational if you want to learn about anything to do with website building or affiliate marketing.
So Far So Good, and I Know it Gets Better
Personally, I don't think I have ever learnt so much in one week as I have this week, before in my whole life. I have not made any money just as yet but i feel it is only a matter of time for me, because I still have many more videos on the training bootcamp to complete. My website is on the top of one google page already but that page only has 149 searches on it and I know It will get better as I Iearn more and apply my learnings to my site. My goal is to try to earn my first sign up in the next couple of weeks, if not sooner, but I know that there is much more for me to learn, like social marketing, etc. See!, so far so good.
The Future is Going to be Brighter
My main aim is to build a large following online and to teach everyone who follows exactly what I have learned, and therefore, making their lives more brighter as well. Knowing that I have learnt so much so far, I am sure that I can achieve this goal and make a better life for so many people out there looking to do exactly the same thing. Yes the money is a goal too, but money is not everything. Remember what the Beatle's said? Well that's it for me for now and I hope your journey online can be a successful and educational one as well.

Hi Paul, like you, I also experienced the same thing to find jobs that can be done from home. I have also joined several programs that, in my opinion, did not help at all. But at Wealthy Affiliate, everything is different. Lots of videos and tutorials that are available for us to learn.
Only time and our determination will tell if we succeed in our task. All the best for you!
