You’re where I was several years ago when I first started looking for affiliate marketing jobs at home. In this article, I’ll tell you how I landed the perfect affiliate marketing job, and where I got my (free!) training.
Way back in 2004, I started searching online for ways I could work from home. At that time, I didn’t know I could be looking for affiliate marketing jobs at home – I didn’t know about affiliate marketing at all yet. I ended up settling on Ebay, and had a fairly successful Ebay business for several years. Then, right around 2013, I got tired of doing Ebay.
Although I was thrilled my business was doing well, the huge amount of shipping I had to do six days a week (seven during the holidays) was killing me! I never got a day off, had to work every weekend, and during the holidays it was nonstop. Again, I was grateful for the success, but when I set out to work at home online, working like a dog just wasn’t what I had in mind.
Affiliate Marketing Jobs
Tired of slaving on Ebay, I started searching online again for ways I could work at home. This was when I discovered affiliate marketing. I found an affiliate marketing course, paid money for it, and completed the training. I created a website, became an affiliate for Amazon, and I was thrilled! I thought I had found the perfect job.
But…
But what I didn’t know was that the training I received was far from sufficient. I now know that the affiliate marketing course I paid for was pitiful, actually, and didn’t even begin to cover everything I needed to know to be successful at affiliate marketing. They taught me how to become an affiliate for Amazon, and taught me how to create a website. That’s it. I had no idea that a whole lot more was needed for anyone to even see my website, let alone getting enough visitors to actually make money.
So I failed.
I tried to make it work for several months, but finally got discouraged and gave up. It wasn’t until 2015 that I really (really really really) got tired of Ebay and decided to try affiliate marketing again.
Affiliate Marketing Online Course
So I searched again for another, hopefully a better affiliate marketing course online. I was very fortunate this time to come across someone promoting a company called Wealthy Affiliate. They have a free affiliate marketing course for beginners. I signed up in August, 2015, and completed the free starter program.
By the end of those classes, I had a new website and way more knowledge about how to actually be successful. And I loved it. I knew I had found one of the best affiliate marketing jobs online! So that November I upgraded to their Premium Membership, and continued on with the training.
Today I’m a full time affiliate marketer!

I personally love doing affiliate marketing as my full time job. I have two large websites I work on every week – you’re on one right now. I have two YouTube channels, and hundreds of email subscribers and social media followers. This website helps people make money online, and the other website helps animals. Seriously, I couldn’t be happier.
