Hi everyone,
I'm not exactly new here, but I wouldn't call myself a veteran either. I first signed up for this forum back in 2010 when I was in my 20s. At the time, I’d just heard about affiliate marketing from a college senior who was doing really well in internet marketing. Inspired, I dove in headfirst, joined a bunch of forums, and started promoting ClickBank products. I even created a dating product on ClickBank with a friend. Like many beginners, I expected overnight success without fully understanding the affiliate marketing world.
But life had other plans. Between finishing my studies, getting permanent residency in a new country, landing a day job, and fulfilling societal obligations, my focus shifted. I did make a little money here and there from YouTube and other channels, but it wasn’t enough to keep me going at the time.
Fast forward to today: I’m now a family man with a stable career. But deep down, I’ve always regretted not sticking with affiliate marketing. Toward the end of last year, I decided to give it another shot. This time, I’m more determined to stay consistent, learn new strategies, and who knows maybe turn things around in my favor.
I held off on writing this intro until I’d been consistent for a few months. Now, after 3-4 months of active learning and effort, I’m ready to reintroduce myself. Balancing affiliate marketing with family life is no easy feat especially with a 1.5-year-old son who insists I play with him whenever I’m near the laptop. Sleep-deprived or not, I’ve made it a habit to work on affiliate marketing every day, and it feels great to be back.
I’m here to connect, share knowledge, and hopefully build some long-term friendships in this space.
Wishing everyone the best!
Regards,
Venkat
