Most of us have spent our entire lives with someone else telling us what to do and determining our actions. We go to school for jobs from our parents. Frankly, most jobs are repetitive and boring. In most companies, telling your boss that he’s going in the wrong direction and that you have a better idea suddenly leads to a short career.
We don’t know if you consider yourself a rebel or a company man (or woman). But having at least one part of your life where you can say you’ve decided what to do can be very fulfilling and satisfying. Affiliate marketing can give you that path.
You can also choose your lifestyle. As long as you have access to a computer and an Internet connection, you can stay in business. We know some affiliate marketers who don’t even own a computer or subscribe to an internet service. They go to public libraries and use them.
For author Ted, the most important aspect of becoming an affiliate marketer was the freedom. “When I worked as a network manager in NYC, it was 5 a.m., an hour and a half commute on buses and subways, and home at 7 p.m.,” he says. When the time came, my boss said I could go wherever I wanted on my vacation as long as I could get back to work within four hours.With the traffic and travel time in the metropolitan area, that didn’t leave many options were.
With a computer and internet connection, you can set your own hours and schedule. You can work on a part-time basis and fit affiliate marketing into your existing lifestyle. If you love the benefits that affiliate marketing brings to your life, you may want to gradually build on it and make it a full-time endeavor in place of your current job. But before you quit your job, make sure it’s right for you and you can replace your current income.
Want to disappear for a while to an exotic island location with no internet connection or computer? But worried that the “hungry crowd” you’ve worked so hard to gather will lose interest because there are no new posts on the website or you’re not sending them new, valuable information? No problem! You can write a bunch of valuable posts or new information before you go and then schedule them to be sent on a regular basis or any schedule you want. When you return, no one will know you were gone unless you tell them about your amazing time.
