It's Official! My Website Is 5 Months Old - Happy Birthday!

The Journey Has Just Begun

I can't believe I'm here sharing my 5th month experience and it feels great! Looking at my website now makes me realized how much I've achieved in this short period. While writing this article, I was also checking out my previous monthly progress reports and the growth is significant.

I'm still a green pea at this, but slowly turning brown(: In terms of food.. that's bad, but I guess it's okay to be a brown pea in this industry.

Thanks to Wealthy Affiliate, I was able to leverage the internet and create an income source online. Was it a slow start?

Absolutely!

However, I knew it wouldn't be easy to begin with, but one thing I can say is... it would be hell of a lot harder without Wealthy Affiliate and the community itself.

Without further ado, here is my report card for the 5 month of the birth of Online Self Employed

You Are Well On You Way To Becoming Financially Free

Ready to put this into action?

You see, I am not a firm believer in working a regular job. Trust me, I thought my life was set when I started my last job, but I realized that I would never be financially free. I was spending more than what I was earning. Therefore, I was your typical average Joe who was living paycheck by paycheck.

I realized what the problem was...

I needed to manage my money better and also create multiple income sources...

I was beginning to fear for myself and my family because what if I get sick or get hurt on the job? Will I be able to live off of my compensations? Probably not.

It's quite scary knowing that your last paycheck could really be your last paycheck...

The Internet and Wealthy Affiliate is like the perfect couple

The power of the internet combined with the opportunity here on Wealthy Affiliate empowers you to build multiple streams of income.

You should never place all of your eggs in one basket. Wealthy Affiliate carries a continuity affiliate program. You get paid on a monthly basis as long as your referral remains a premium member. That means, it's quite stable as long as you help your referrals become success.

Tip: Encourage and help your referrals because if they make money, you make money. Truth is... they won't stick around for long if they are lost and confused.

Besides Wealthy Affiliate, you should also branch out for other low and high ticket products. Amazon is decent for beginners, but in order to make the big bucks, you need the bigger commissions.

Oh man... it's 15 minutes after 12:00 AM

I wish you all great success and I look forward to hearing from you as well, so start blogging!

Kind Regards,

ERIC
