From Trucker To Internet Millionaire!

That will be my headline!

Hi, my name is Ronny. I already earn a six figure annual income. I'm a truck driver up in the oil and gas rich province of Alberta Canada.

I earn a six figure income by delivering the most dangerous chemicals in the world to some of the largest oil producing companies in the world.

Here are a few of the products I handle,…
Caustic Soda (super dangerous and nasty)
Sulfuric Acid (eats through metal)
Ammonium Nitrate (mix this with the wrong stuff and KABOOM!)
100% pure bleach (dangerous vapours)
Hydrochloric Acid (no comment needed here)
Molten Sulphur (heated to 155 degrees celcius)

Plus many other chemicals that I cant pronounce, the producers of those just tell me,

…DON’T GET ANY ON YOU!

When I’m loading or unloading my truck I wear a full chemical suit, with heavy duty chemical boots, chemical gloves, a full respirator with mono goggles, plus a special hard hat with a built in face shield.

It might sound like I’m safe with all that on but how I unload my truck is with the use of forced compressed air.

I pressure up the tanks on my tanker trailers (yes I haul more than one trailer at a time called a super B, or B-train configuration) The air pressure is over 100 PSI, …that’s a LOT!

So if a hose were to burst, or rupture, all of that protective wear wouldn’t do me much good. Id be covered in highly flammable and ultra corrosive chemicals. It would eat through that stuff quickly. I personally know people who have died in this line of work from the chemicals that we handle.

Plus, I travel on whats known as Alberta’s Death Highway, …highway 63. It runs between the cities of Edmonton and Fort McMurray.

This stretch of highway is littered with those roadside crosses representing all the lives lost. In some spots there are groups of crosses where entire families have been wiped out.

Add in the bad weather factor that we experience up here in the Canadian winter time and this has to rank up there with some of the most dangerous jobs on Earth in my opinion.

I say all that to stress the point that while yes, I do make a nice living. I am trying desperately do get away from having to do this type of work.

My goal is to create a daily income of $273.98. That would equal $100,002.70 annually.

So that's my starting goal $273.98 per day in affiliate commissions.

BUT RONNY, YOU'RE JUST A TRUCK DRIVER... WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN DO THIS???

I'm glad you asked. You see back in 2003 I became interested in Internet marketing and making a living from home. At that time i had been a truck driver for just over 15 years.

A funny thing happened though, I fell in love with web design and designing graphics. So much so that I actually taught myself how to design minisites using Photoshop and Dreamweaver, by watching YouTube videos.

I did this in my spare time and helped people online by offering to re-design their crappy looking websites for free while I honed my new found craft. By 2006 I was ready to go all in and go full time from my home.

My wife was horrified when I told her of my plan to quit my stable job and work from my home office, ...which was our basement LOL! (she's my ex-wife now)

But despite the odds I was able to earn a living and support my family as a minisite and graphic designer for three years until three things happened that drove me back to the trucking industry...

  1. The economy tanked with the bursting real estate bubble in 2008.
  2. Designers from third world nations were severely undercutting prices.
  3. 'Drag and drop' page builders were beginning to appear.

This was the trifecta that 'drove' me back behind the wheel of a big rig! Pun intended.

So back I went, but as a single guy I decided to take on a more dangerous and higher paying line of work. In the last 5 years I've seen 2 co-workers get killed on the job, and 3 other guys have gotten diagnosed with cancer related to the chemicals that we handle.

So I'm motivated to succeed as an affiliate marketer. I think my modest goal of $100K per year is reasonable as a starting point.

So that’s MY story!

I'd love to hear what you all think, ...do you think I can do this?

Read http://dumbpassiveincome.com - very good site from a guy who's also a trucker and working online in his spare time . Lots of great info on affiliate marketing there

Thanks for sharing that. I'll look him up for sure :)

Having goals are crucial. With that motivation, you can do it.

I agree having goals are vital to anyone's success.

The problem with most people is they don't know how to properly set goals. I learned from Jim Rohn years ago that you start with the end in mind and work your way backwards by breaking your goals down into smaller chunks.

What's the old saying, How do you eat an elephant?

...One bite at a time!
