My plan is to study under the tutelage of this website and work in my free time to building a legitimate source of income and wealth generation. I don't think I'd ever even quit my job simply because the reliable source of steady income. I recently took my car off the road and converted to bicycle commuting and plan on saving every penny I can. I'm not entirely sure where to start? I'm going to wet my feet with starting a Tumblr blog and seeing how I do / what I can learn. I guess I'm posting this to say hello to everybody here, thank you for your contributions to the knowledge accessible here, I'll keep you guys up to date on my progress and help others in turn, and seeing if anyone has any links or suggestions for me to start with or something to learn first. Kind of new to pretty much all of this, but definitely tech savvy.
You are in a great place to start affiliate marketing. You have a decent amount of money in the bank so you can afford a couple of hundred dollars to build your own website. And you aren't swamped with work, so if you don't mind eating into your personal/hobby time you can definitely make a go of it part-time and build up.
I don't know anything about Tumblr but my advice to you is to not chase after easy money. BHW has a history of affiliates chasing after easy money by doing things like spamming YouTube with videos that only promote ClickBank products. These accounts get banned but they make sales initially. Well, this method worked for awhile, but now it is dead. If you do something like this you'll always be
working because you'll have to keep finding new spam/blackhat methods that work because none of these last forever.
So I suggest you build something legitimate. Why should people buy the products you promote? A good reason why people buy products is because they get a recommendation from someone they trust. So work to become someone that strangers on the internet trust. There are lots of ways to do this. Blogs are one example. Build your audience that trusts you, and then promote products to them that they'd like. This is how you build a stable, long-term income.
Good luck
With $2,500 in the bank, you have more financial resources than you need to get started and earn $100k in the next 12 months.
It's not really about money in this business (unless you don't have any, I guess..)
It's about learning, deciphering, deciding, and acting.
2.5k is more than enough financial resources to earn 100k but that requires a lot of knowledge about the niche, method and products that a newbie does
not have. To start from nothing but only have 2.5k a newbie is not going to end 100k in the next 12 months
I do think though that if he worked hard and has some other prior IM knowledge, he could build his way up to over 8k/month by the end of the year
