How much time needed to succeed? (8)
Hi
I've been on the fence with AM for a while now.
I have a background in designing and web development, so I can whip up banners/landers and some custom codes/tools for myself, I have a good idea of how AM works, what I need to learn are setting up campaigns/tracking/angles, etc..
While all the success stories on here are inspiring, most have one thing in common, and that is everyone works 12+ hour a day 6 days week, (or at least at the start they do) to get to where they are, which is one of the main reasons holding me back from giving it a go. I have other work and family commitments so I cannot give it a solid 12 hour work day, the most I can probably spare for AM is about 3 hours (solid) a day, and I can check emails/do quick 5/10 minute tasks throughout the day. Is this enough time commitment to get started and likelihood of succeeding in this game? I'm not loaded, but I wouldn't cry myself to sleep if I have to lose $10K to learn the ropes and get data, etc.. ( which seem to be the pre-requisite to getting started in AM, you have to lose money before you can make some...)
Lastly, is there anyone out there that have been through it all and are successful and are willing to mentor or coach ( paid?) me to get me started? Any recommendations?
Thanks all.

Solid 3 hours a day are enough indeed, the key here is if the hours really will be SOLID 
We spend a lot of time on this, but its also a lot of reading, thinking, researching ... nobody really works 12 hours a day - its all about doing it in an effective way.
Nothing is guaranteed.
Just give it a shot and don't pay for any coaching. Use that money to launch campaigns.
Everything you'll need is available on STM and a spy tool.
I'm a noob that has started to hit 100-300/day profit, I currently only spend 2-3h a day on it.

How long have you been doing AM?
There are people here who have kids, still study at a UNI, hold a day job and do AM in the meantime and manage to pull it off.
You've already joined STM and learned a few things about AM, so don't let the fear of thinking you don't have enough time stop you. If you use your time wisely and are completely determined to make it work, you will. This isn't rocket science and 3 hours per day is plenty.
Your biggest initial time sink will be getting used to setting up campaigns, figuring out tracking and learning how to dish out angles quickly. After this becomes second nature, you can get a whole lot of campaigns up and running in 3 hours every day.
