One of my goals of 2013 is to meet and interact with more affiliates, and as such I just want to post this to urge other affiliates to keep on grinding and dreaming big.
I quit my job in July 2012, and started on my affiliate marketing journey. I had only $5000 savings in sight, and as such it was a make it or be homeless situation.
I soon got to XX,XXX a month
The one thing I found that helped me the most was this:
Treat this like a real business and as such speak to everyone. You're AM's and the ad network AM's, the people on this forum.
Keep on grinding folks and may 2013 be an even more successful year for everyone!
I am currently in the exact same boat, with a little more at my disposal. Thanks for the inspiration!
