A Day In My Life As An Affiliate Marketer & Blogger

A day in the life of an affiliate market blogger. EXCITING!

This page contains a good look at my typical day working on my at home business as a blogger and affiliate marketer.  I am writing this so people can see how much time I put into by personal business.  Some may be surprised at how much… some at home little.  Everybody has different expectations.

I want to be as transparent as I can be.  I truly want to assist people who are interested in working from home.  Being a blogger and affiliate marketer is the best online job that I could find to fit my personal needs of being able to work for myself, being able to travel and bring my work with me, be able to up and move to another part of the country (or world), and to provide myself with more free time to spend with friends and family.

If you have laptop you can travel and go anywhere for as long as want as a blogger and successful affiliate marketing websites.

Please be away that as I write this post, I am still in fact also working a day job.  I expect my wife will be able to quit her day job in six to eight months, and I will be able to quit mine in six to eight months after her.  We are currently make a nice income from our three affiliate marketing websites, and plan to add one or two more by the end of summer this year as an income safety net.

How My Day Starts

I get up at 6am every week day, which is about one hour sooner than I need to if I was just getting ready to go to work for my day job.  I work in sales at a nice office.  And I need to be in the office by 9am. Continue reading

Inspiration & Proof That This Works

I am big on helping people get started working from home starting their own affiliate marketing business.  Many of my pages on this site promote how you can get started today.  I talk about work, learning something new, effort, motivation, inspiration and success.

Below are a couple screen shots a friend I network with put together a few months ago with links to success stories to help inspire people getting into blogging and affiliate marketing.  Some of the blue headings below are obvious, a few are more obscure, but when you read the titles you will get the meaning.

Results can vary from person to person and depending on the affiliate marketing niche that each person pursues.  As always it helps to blog about content that you have an interest in, such as a hobby you are passionate about.
