People are usually "afraid" of what they don't understand. Since they are close family and friends, their fear may eventually become your fear and cause a setback for you. It can be difficult to win people over especially if they don't understand what you're doing let alone see any value in it.

Don't give up on your dreams. It may take some time, but they will come around when you start having success. Make sure you share every "little" progress with them.

Hi Renistien, To comment on your question about the ones who disagree with you I ask you two question?

1- Are those people dependent on you for income?
2- If They are, will they suffer if you learn how to make income online ?

I find most people are Negative if what I am doing effects them in any way. If no needs your income and is only rejecting your way of trying to earn income then it is their opinion.

How we handle others opinion will determine the effect on us.

I only listen to those who depend on me for income. It is wise to listen to those because you live with them. It does matter what happens to them to me. What they say to me I take very seriously and consider their thoughts.

If all the above is okay, then their are two opinions theirs and mine. I have know me longer than they have known me, so mine opinion is the one that counts.

This I know, when I earn more income than those people they love me and want my income. I have more people around me who want my advise. They want me to show them how I do it. I can not do no wrong. I am the smartest person they know.

When the money shows up so do many other people and things to get my help.

Affiliate marketing is a long term thing making money online. To make money faster I had to go local to businesses in my town offering a service I had learned online.

If no one is depended on me for income--- then no one can effect my mindset of being happy about what I do.

Love them all and just do it for you and yours but make sure you cover all the needs of your family even if you need to work at a job while you learn and earn.

You need to create a positive mindset. Read books like "The Secret", "Think and Grow Rich" (by Napoleon Hill) and "The Science of Getting Rich" (by Wallace D Wattles and now in the public domain both as an ebook and audio book). Decide on how you would like your life to be, what your new home will look like, what kind of new car you will be driving, what types of people will be your friends. Now believe that all this is coming to you. Write your aspirations down and read them every day. With a positive mind-set you can overcome your (temporary) negative surroundings. ~Marion

Ones surroundings are part of who we are...I find it is important not to get caught up in what others think about what you are doing. They probably don't understand internet marketing or what you are trying to do online...so they don't see the whole picture. They may be concerned for you that you are wasting your time and money and are going to get scammed. Especially if they love you. If you are using up the family budget online, they may have good reason lol
Stay the course, forgive them and eventually your success will win them over. Stay positive and don't get caught in a negative web. If they are not interested in what you are doing ,don't tell them otherwise you are inviting their disapproval. I have heard it said many times that to succeed you need to hang out with like minded and supportive people, You have both here in WA.
All the best brother we support you and think you are on the right track and in the right place.:)
