Greetings everyone,
decided to introduce myself as I'm feeling kind of demotivated right now, maybe writing here would cheer me up.
I am a "full-time" affiliate marketer. I'm quoting "full-time" for a reason.
As many of you, I've also read the 4 Hour Workweek by Tim Ferris and thought to myself it was kind of an utopia in the past.
Saw lot of people saying that you shouldn't trust so called gurus and people in Internet Marketing making such kind of statements because they are all bullshit and lies.
Truth is, I've spent the last year and a half traveling around and worked only 2-3 weeks in the entire period so the only thing I can say to you is that is totally achievable.
By the way, I'm not proud of myself. Reaching a stable monthly income of course wasn't easy at the beginning, but I'm nowhere near where I want to be.
I feel frustrated to have the freedom to work on my projects and not doing anything about it. So no, don't you think for a second that being in this field is easy, as most of the time you will be your worst enemy.
I found myself reading again a couple of minutes ago Charles Ngo story about how he started:
"The journey to success is lonely. When I was staying home on the weekends building my business, everyone was out clubbing and getting drunk. I preferred reading books about copywriting to playing video games or watching TV. What helped me through the daily grind was visualizing the future I wanted. Sacrifice today for a better tomorrow."
Suddenly I remembered those nights, wake till late after 8-12 hours of my main job to continue working on my own projects. Those lonely weekends writing article after article and tuning landing pages while my friends were out partying.
So I felt the need to write down how I feel, and thank Charles (even if he don't know about it) and all the other affiliate marketers and members of this forum that invest their time inspiring and helping other people sharing their stories. Thank you!
Time for me to roll up my sleeves again, glue my ass to the chair and fucking do something to reach the next level.
Good look to everyone in your goals!
