We all have our stories about how we got into this business.  I don't think mine is really that different from most.

I personally HATED every job I've ever had.  I don't know what it is about it.

I don't know if it was just that I hated my bosses or I hated the work itself or I hated getting up early in the morning or I hated the sterile environment of some of the white collar jobs I've worked or I hated that I was stuck in an office when I could have been surfing or maybe it was the combination of all those things.

I had some old textbooks that from my college days, and  instead of just letting them collect dust, I decided to sell them on Amazon.  After I sold them, a light bulb went off. Is there something I could sell online where I don't have to carry the merchandise and ship it?

Then….I started surfing online, and began to read about affiliate marketing.  I absolutely LOVED the idea of promoting somebody else's product and getting a cut from it.

I really had no idea how to start.  Since I sold on eBay, I figured it would be a good idea to become an affiliate for eBay.  Eventually I just became hooked on it.

I can't see myself doing anything else.  I can't imagine going back to the days of getting up by an alarm clock, fighting through rush hour traffic with all the other 9-5ers.

i love the idea that I can get up and travel anywhere on a lark, and as long as I've got an internet connection, I've got all I need for my business. I don't know of too many other jobs where you could that.  Getting involved with internet marketing was one of the best decision that I have ever made!
