I’m waiting on a bonus that will come through in about 3 weeks because I want to take advantage of the annual membership plan rather than month to month, as it will save me $120.00 annually off the monthly cost. I also know that they’re also planning to increase their membership fees soon, so I want to lock in on the special $29.99 deal that’s currently offered before that happens. I just hope they don’t do this increase before my bonus kicks in.

Thanks for agreeing we keep in touch. It seems to make things easier when one has a “partner in crime.”

See you later Callie! A blessed rest of the night to you.

It’s nice to meet you too! I hope you keep up the excitement … and try not to get any more bricks dropped on your head … ouch! lol

But then again, the kinds of bricks that Eddy drops are good ones. He is definitely one to listen to and heed advice from.

Sure … we can stay in touch.

Thank you for your answer. Another bonus! Well, they can frown ’til the cows come home!

I’m liking this more and more.

Actually affiliates have multiple ways of getting paid. I covered it in the first half of the article above:

“Depending on your affiliation with the company you’re working with, they pay you for the following:

1. Having some one visit their site. (Pay Per Click)
2. Having someone fill out a form on their site. (Pay Per Lead)
3. Having someone buy a product or service. (Pay Per Sale)”

So pay per sale is one of the many ways. But in any event, let’s answer your second question. Yes you can still earn commissions from the purchases you make with your own affiliate link. Often time affiliates give themselves discounts by doing so since you know you’ll be earning a commission. lol It’s a common practice. Some companies frown against this but not many.

Great question though!

Without humor I think I would dry up and die. Hello young lady, and a very good day to you, Callie! Thanks for your warm and sincere well wishes. I see that you,also, possess a beautiful sense of humor. The traits I first look for in others include honesty and a sense of humor!

I’m downright excited. I’ll be able to purchase my subscription in 3 weeks so that I can begin to learn and EARN! Yeaaaaaa!

I know this is a G-rated web site, so I sure hope I don’t get banned from here by Eddy for using a bad word on his site. Ponzi! Wow! We all know that Eddy would never endorse a Ponzi scheme or anything like it.

Callie, last night I was up until 4:30 on this site and the Wealthy Affiliates site going back and forth between the two, reading and trying to see what I might be able to accidentally learn before I get my subscription started. I’ve been sort of looking into this since I first set fingers & keyboard onto this site, but just didn’t understand what Internet marketing really is. Eddy, bless his heart and his great patience, finally dropped a ton of bricks on my head and that is what awakened me to the wonderful opportunity this could be for me. What he did was, he took time to break the information down to the lowest common denominator, and like Rip Van Winkle, I awakened from my twenty year brain dead state, which was caused by a string of mindless, boring, hateful customer service jobs; and when I understood the concepts of affiliate marketing, the wheels began to finally turn again. I’m really excited and eager to begin.

Lets try to keep up with how we’re both doing as we individually enter into this new venture [if that seems okay with you]. I’m sure your sense of humor will be a very welcome beacon of light for me as I begin this exciting new journey. The blessings derived from becoming successful with this opportunity will be a great benefit for a new cause I’ve just become a part of.

Any way, to each and every one here, much success is my prayer for you. May the road rise up to meet you, and may the wind be always at your back. May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.

See you later Callie–nice to meet you!

Girl, you are to funny! Good humor makes my day … everyday.

I do know you mean business in regard to your newly found internet marketing with WA. And for that, I do wish you all the best with it.

Keep the laughter flowing … it does a body GOOD!

Have a blesse day all, and thanks again Eddy for taking so much time to help me to get over my wrong-thinking about affiliate marketing. My real distaste was in the misunderstanding that it was something like Am-Way or some other MLM type thing. I was almost thinking it might be some king of Ponzi deal (shame on me, and please, no laughing anybody!) LOL!

I’m really happy you find our site to be so helpful. I’m also very proud of you for deciding to embark on your work at home career as an affiliate.

I love your attitude. It’s like you’re not going to take failure as an option and because of that, you’ll succeed like I did.

I totally agree with you. The cost of living is getting crazy. My wife and I thank God everyday for this career because it’s pretty much shielded us from these crazy prices. But it’s true, now more than ever is a perfect time to get involved in this career.

How great would it be if you and your husband can stay at home together? And better still raising a new bundle of joy together. Trust me when I say it;s the best thing in the world!

In any event, I’m sure with time, dedication and persistence you’ll do well. Congratulations again!

Eddy
