Earnings Screen shot 5/26

Update: $328 Commission Today Screen shot
Wish I had taken this screen shot a few minutes earlier, because it would have said $328 next to “Commissions Today”, before the clock hit midnight.

Just had my first $100 profit day and feeling pretty good about it considering I’ve only been at it for three weeks or so with PPC.

Funny thing is, last night I left post it notes everywhere around me room with $75 a day written on it to remind myself of my goal for the deadline of June 15th. Looks like I hit it a little early .

I’m running with CPA Empire and it’s a great network to run with. The people there are pretty awesome, especially my AM, Doug. If you want to start making money, check out CPA Empire today. And let me know if you have trouble getting into the network, I’ll see what I can do.

• You get to be your own boss.
• You make tons more money than you would at any ordinary summer job.
• You’ll keep making money even after the summer’s over with little effort on your part.
• You don’t have to go door-to-door or sell knives to family and friends.

What job am I talking about? I’m talking about being an Affiliate Marketer.

An affiliate what?

Affiliate marketer- in simple terms- a person that gets paid a commission every time they sell a product for a business or get them relevant information like leads on people interested in buying cars.

Now, there is a warning attached to this. Affiliate marketing is not just for anyone. You have to be dedicated, willing to take losses, and creative / forward-thinking. This industry is definitely not for someone who’s not driven.

If you are driven, however, there is tons to be made just by being creative and proactive in the everyday world that you live in. Business opportunities start to pop up everywhere once you get in the affiliate marketing mindset and money making opportunities are everywhere.

One of the best things about affiliate marketing is that it is the way the majority of business will be conducted in the future. Everyone knows that people buy what their friends by and affiliate marketing is one step detached from that. It’s not your friend telling you what to buy, nor is it the company, but rather someone in between. Plus, business would rather you risk your advertising dollars than they risk them themselves and are willing to pay people like me and you- who know how and who to market- to bring more business to them.

If you’d like to learn more about affiliate marketing, I suggest checking out this lens on how to make money while in college with affiliate marketing.

I was never a big fan of the term “building your credit.”

It all seemed like a ploy to be rewarded for building liabilities, and the credit card companies banking on you to not pay them back on time.

However, in this day in age it’s nearly impossible to live without a credit card, and so when you’re looking for one you should definitely look hard for one that provides good terms such as a low-interest credit card with small or no annual fees.

I remember when I got my first credit cards I pretty much applied to whoever sent me a letter in the mail when I entered college. I asked my buddy how he picked his credit cards and he said he went with Capital One because they were the first ones to send him a credit card and “won the race” (which he now regrets having in his wallet).

And if you don’t have such great credit, you should also do your due diligence and look for a credit card that will help do the most to keep your credit in good shape. There are credit cards out there designed for people with bad credit, and with due diligence I’m sure they can find a credit card that works best for their needs.

If you do have bad credit, check out sites like RestoreMyCreditReport.com.
Just be wise and financially responsible when it comes to your spending, and you should be able to build or turn around your credit score.

Now that I don’t have “school” anymore, I have a lot more time to do the things I’ve always wanted to do.

Here are some of the business and personal goals on my agenda.

Business

• Get to $100 per day with affiliate marketing by June 15th.
• Get to $200 per day by August 15th.
• Kick start Walamu again for Fall and maybe upgrade it’s features.
• Teach one other person how Affiliate Marketing works and have them earning as much as me.

Personal

• Visit London in the next few months.
• Get in the best shape of my life.
• Start being financially responsible and practice budgeting.
• Cook for myself (related to #3).
• Eat more healthy- Do a detox and start eating right.

Those are my goals for now. Doing a little bit everyday helps.

Oh and since it’s obvious that I’m in affiliate marketing, I want to assure everyone that I wouldn’t promote anything on this site unless I really believed in it. BANs and Wealthy Affiliate are two products that have my highest recommendation.

I have a bunch of things going on right now from personal to business and I don’t really want this to be an aimless rambling of my life. If you guys have any ideas as to posts you would like to see, please let me know. It could be about anything from being an *ex*-college entrepreneur, affiliate marketer, traveler, whatever.
