In 2005 I attended a Frank Garon seminar on Internet Marketing and was bowled over by the possibility of selling information products on the Internet that required no warehouse space, no inventory, no delivery costs, boy did I want some of that.

Well 4 years later I am finally getting somewhere I nearly make an affiliate sale or earn some other online income everyday; but what a struggle to get there. I was an eBay Powerseller, I sold second hand books on Amazon. I started blogs, mailing lists. Now I make money from Adsense, from Squidoo (hooray for Squidoo), I get affiliate sales from Amazon and eBay, occasionally an affiliate fee from a product I’ve blogged about. So in addition to Adsense where I earn a couple of dollars a day, I am making an average of one affiliate sale a day. See the crazy number of things I’ve tried here at idiots guide to making money online

I’m certain I could have got this far much quicker, but I can’t be told by others how to do things I have to do things my way, I guess that’s the best way in the end , stop listening to all the contradictory advice from the Gurus, but as I say it’s been tough and still doesn’t impress my nearest and dearest!

My next success stage will be to be to have something really sell like hotcakes, I am sure this will happen soon as this business rewards momentum, ie the more successful you are the more successful you’ll be.

What I find psychologically difficult is doing all that work without seeing immediate reward/encouragement even though I know that’s how it is. Just keep going don’t look back! What is your story?
