Negative People

I am going to stop talking about my work here on WA. My friends don't have a clue as to what is happening in this community and they don't know anything about affiliate marketing. I was seeing red last night as I had to listen to a friend brag about the great deals she gets from Alibaba and Amazon. Cudos to her for knowing about the great deals, but don't tell me I'm wasting my time with affiliate marketing. "I go right to Alibaba or Amazon and do my shopping. Why would I go look at some other website?" I have never known this woman to be anything other than opinionated on any subject. They give you that look that says "You can't fool me!" When I start making money from this gig I'm just going to tell them that my investments are paying off. And no, I do not have advice for you. Fin, Das Ende.
