Hi! I’m AJ. Breaking into the world of affiliate marketing is something that I have wanted to do for more than 20 years. But, being a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom to five rambunctious, highly creative and talented boys was always my priority – my dreams took a backseat.
They are now grown and beginning families of their own, so I guess I can say, it’s my turn. That, and I’m nearing the half-century mark and wondering where the hell my life has gone. I suppose at some point in every human’s life, those same thoughts creep up and nag at a body until the answer is satisfied.
The Spark
I grew up in a house of 13 adults – business owners and accountants. I believe the seed to be my own boss was planted early on in life – or perhaps it’s a part of my genetic makeup. Like many stay-at-home moms and military spouses, I dabbled (and failed) in direct sales. I’m not much of a salesman. If you like the product, then it sells itself. If it doesn’t turn you on, then who am I to convince you that you need said product in your life? Discovery Toys, Tupperware, Pampered Chef, Amway – you name it. I’ve been there, done that and got the products. Never made money on any of it (probably because I was always buying product for my own self).
Over the years, I have been following people who have trail blazed the blogging world and those who leveraged affiliate marketing. I believe I have obtained enough knowledge to completely fill all 32 volumes of Encyclopedia Britannica. It’s time I get out of my head.
The Spark – Reignited
I knew that if others could generate an income online (while in their jammies), I could, too. I knew I needed to stand on the shoulders of giants. If I took everything I learned previously, and copied what the experts in the industry were already doing, I knew I could make stamp my own logo on the digital highway. And in turn, be a model of inspiration for those, like myself, who may be starting out a little later in life.

Hello AJ, I am quite sure I have found a kindred spirit! Also dabbling in internet marketing with ebay and Clickbank, and finding WA and losing her twice, it has taken me twenty years to make a small showing. I am afflicted with SOS and have fallen for enough scam projects to finance my WA membership! I am so happy to meet so honest a blonde, From a gray-headed former brunette, Janice
Yes, we are kindred spirits. I think we’ve both been down the road of hard knocks. Sometimes I think I need horse blinders. 🙂
