You could say my future started this night 16 years ago.
Hi folks, I just got finished fixing a couple years of mistaken numbers because I was doing some math about what I thought was a 17 turning out to be a 16. See this night 16 years ago I went to Wal-Mart with two toddlers in tow and the wife with a bun in the oven.
We went in and picked up a couple toys for the girls, some chocolate for the wife, and hit the baby isle because I got my December Bonus from Allsup's Convenience stores on my paycheck. We knew that it would be unlikely to have the money 4 weeks later to buy that stroller, and bassinet but all said and done for everyone else daddy had something he had wanted for years.
That night I bought and set up our first PC, and HP Pavilion desktop with big hulking monitor and all that would write my life the next 16 years. See it was 16 years ago tomorrow I stumbled on an online marketing forum and met some affiliate marketers. One of which talked me into accepting a free membership into her paid program Money Train. She was looking for business people with experience in marketing offline to teach how to apply those skills in an online business. It was my first network marketing experience and it was awesome!
Over the 16 years I have met some millionaires and some paupers, and seen paupers become millionaires. People I loved as if they were brothers and sisters gave their lives to discover gold online. People like my favored mentor Corey Rudl of the Internet Marketing Center have left this earth, and dear friends like Gerald English have funded other projects like his Fisher's of Men ministries in North Carolina and left the business.
Along the way I have marketed social networks, and search engines, hybrid social network and search engine Kooiii which I was partner and CEO of. I have promoted the World of 3D selling virtual building plots by the dozens. I even helped sell some wind energy units for homes before that was even a big thing.
I have been a big factor in programs like SFI where I have put in over 3,000 direct referrals. Instant Blog subscribers where we put in 86 members in 3 days with a 40% upgrade rate. There has been a lot of loss along the way and bad times related to trying to work full time and then some in 2 worlds at once, but I have had a blast.
My name is Andy and I have been an affiliate marketer for the last 16 years as of around 8PM tomorrow night and wouldn't change a darned thing about it.

I seem to be good at that an astounding 3 WA post today, and 4 total posts, 6 mini-post, and some forum marketing that pushed me over 7,000 words written in one day. I think its got to be a personal record. I think we found the fountain of words and they flew off with high energy.
Keep right on harassing as you see I learn from you
WA is a great place to be
One day I want to say it’s been six years for me
Affiliate Marketing is brand new for me .... your posting for new guys like me is inspirational .... fuel .... motivation
Thanks

Thanks, Tim. One of my goals for this year is to do more Trainings here inside WA, especially going deeper into the realm of scaling up and leveraging content other people create. The 3 million visitorr formula I added a while back went over well but life got in the way of writing follow ups.
That is a lot of accomplishments in your time as a Affiliate Marketer. This is an inspiring post.
