Tell Us About You:

In my spare time I enjoy photography, Grey's Anatomy, reading a book in one sitting, and traveling. And, of course spending time with my husband and two boys.

Why do you do Affiliate Marketing?

I'd like to say that I dabble in affiliate marketing. I do it to help monetize my websites. I do not really consider myself a true expert in non-contextual affiliate marketing such as affiliate products like the ones you offer. I only promote products and services that I think my users will like and benefit from.

What's the #1 mistake you've made and overcome with your online business?

The #1 mistake is actually two-fold. In the beginning, taking my business seriously and continually growing my business was not something I did well. However, after viewing my websites as a serious and viable business I started to make a whole lot more money. I actually doubled my income in just a couple of months. Realizing that I needed to take my business seriously made me start growing and expanding my online business. I knew that I had to treat my online business like any job I ever had even if I was doing it in my PJs.

What's the #1 tip you'd give for your success?

My #1 tip would be to not give up. Keep on working and growing your business. It will eventually pay off. So many people quit after a short time of not seeing the results they wanted. Don't be that person. Stick with your online business. I started working at home over 3 years ago and today I finally feel like my online business is truly successful. Having patience and a support group really helped me to not give up on my dreams. Hard work pays off and I am very fortunate to be able to make a good living at home.
