From 2002 – 2005 I made a decent income teaching in Taiwan. However, after each contract was finished I would spend a large portion of my savings on a vacation. I got to thinking how I could make money even while I was traveling. But then I would return to work and soon forget all about it. Then I moved to Costa Rica. Teachers here make considerably less than in Taiwan. Not enough to live on in my opinion. I ended up managing a furniture store and interior design company to make a decent income and teaching was something I did on the side for extra income. That’s when I began searching for a way to make an ethical second income from home. I wanted a way to earn a healthy income from my home and on my own schedule. I also wanted to have income streams working for me even while I wasn’t sitting in front of the computer.
I lost a lot of money to scams until I finally found a real way to make serious extra income.
I tried trading the Forex market (couldn’t stand looking at charts all day). Then I tried trading penny stocks (lost more money than I care to admit). I’m even ashamed to admit I fell prey to some of the countless get rich quick scams on the internet. I was about to give up when I discovered something called affiliate marketing and a website called "WealthyAffiliate".
Finally a way to earn a second income that made sense!
Affiliate marketing is promoting products from a wide variety of companies or individuals and getting paid a commission when someone you send buys a product. So you, as an affiliate marketer, drive web traffic (potential customers) to a product that you chose to promote. The great thing about affiliate marketing is you don’t have to handle or ship any products, collect money, or deal with customer service because the company who owns the products handles all of that. There are literally tens of thousands of companies willing to pay you a commission (many times up to 75%) for selling their products.
Promote what you want!
Because there are so many companies that pay affiliates you can research any niche industry that you have an interest. For example if you love gardening you can sell quality products or ebooks that relate to gardening. If you love to travel, ride horse, golf, ski, scuba dive, TEACH or anything else you can think of, you can make money by promoting products within each of these markets.
Sounds great but how do I do it?
If you look around the internet there are hundreds if not thousands of books that claim to teach you how to make money by affiliate marketing. Some are useful and some are rip offs. These ebooks usually cost between $50-$100. I have spent hundreds of dollars on these books before I found "WealthyAffiliate". Being a teacher I knew I would need to educate myself before I started affiliate marketing. I had no experience but I knew I could be successful if I had the proper training. And I found that at WealthyAffiliate. They gave me the education, support, and tools I needed to succeed online.
