Thanks for referring others to this site, I really appreciate it. In terms of this affiliate marketing career, honestly you have to be focused and willing to put in the time to study and make it work. You know your resolve better than I do. If you're burned out at the moment than that's your body telling you it's time to just chill out a little until you're re-charged. I make it a habit not to pursue anything that requires a lot of my mental energy unless I'm in the right state of mind and ready. So my advice is not to pursue this unless you're ready to put in the work. Otherwise you'll be wasting your time and money. Affiliate Marketing isn't going anywhere and neither is WA. Everything will still be here when you're ready. In the mean time just focus on your job and relaxing. Sounds like you need a nice long vacation. So if that's possible I suggest going on one right away. lol Hope this helps. Hey Tara,

I work from home as an independent contractor doing phone sales. I have been reading your blog for a few months now and I have told a few others about it who also work from home. I am open minded and I am motivated to make more money!! I like this article and I really want to try affiliate marketing. The absolute only thing that is holding me back is fear that I will have difficulty with the material provided by WA. I have always been a pretty good student but I am so burned out from educational programs. I completed my associate's degree but not my bachelor's even after two tries. As I said before, I am a good student but life always seems to get in my way. I also have a five year old son and it is getting harder and harder for me to concentrate. Eddy, what advice can you offer me? I really want to make this work! Hi, Eddy! I work from home as an independent contractor doing phone sales.

I'm impressed that you've read all my articles. I think I'm the only other person that has but I'm biased like that. lol In any event, I'm glad you heeded my advice about getting some other stable income in before venturing into affiliate marketing. Trust me when I say it will be a better experience because you won't feel the need to rush. You can learn at a nice pace. And congrats on landing a job! We all know how hard that can be right now. In terms of your focus, I'll definitely pray for you. Don't feel bad. I even lose focus sometimes. But it's usually because I have become overwhelmed with the information I'm reading. So when that starts to happen, I step away for a few days to clear my mind. Then when I'm all relaxed and refreshed, I'm able to see things clearly again. You'd be surprised how much this helps. The other trick that use to work for me was to focus on the reason why I was doing this. At the time it was because I hated commuting to work, I hated an idiot boss dictating how much I was really worth, I hated feeling like I was less of a person because I didn't like playing their corporate america games. I hated the thought that I may spend the rest of my life making the folks that I didn't really respect rich while I got the scraps. That was pretty strong motivation for me. But you need to find what that is for you. It may be spending more time with your loved ones, maybe it's the freedom to go on vacation whenever your want, etc, etc. So find your focus. Post pictures of why you want to do this near your computer or in your bathroom mirror so you're always reminded this is why I'm doing this. Incidentally I still do this. People come by and ask why I have that up and then I tell them. In the past they would think I'm crazy or laugh. But now they know Eddy is serious and will probably obtain that. Just something to think about. I'll pray for you either way. Good luck. Wow Denise!

I am ready to join; however, please pray for me that I get with it and stay. I have tried many other ventures and was always one of those "running around like a chicken without a head", that alone has helped. See you in my future business adventure! Thanks!

I'll be praying for you. I'm happy you have found us because there are a lot of options available to you. So there is hope. Just be sure to check out the following pages: www.workathomenoscams.com/jobs www.workathomenoscams.com/recommendations I'm confident that eventually you'll be able to find something to help your situation. In terms of my family in Haiti, everyone is accounted for. Their homes may be destroyed but their faith isn't. They have great faith in God and shared some amazing stories of his miracles with me. I've been able to send them money so that feels good. So thanks for asking and sharing your concerns. In terms of a grown man walking a tiny dog being sweet, I'll just take your word for it. I find it embarrassing but I never let it show. lol I have to disagree with you though. I think I'm the lucky or blessed one to have my wife and daughter. They deal with me and that takes a lot of effort. lol In any event, thanks again for sharing with me. I'll keep you in my prayers. I hope you find the WA information useful. Good luck. Hi Marilyn,

I declared bankruptcy, which will sae it for awhile.I was an xray tech for 36 years but was fired from my last job of 6 1/2 years for a health related incident. I cannot get another job in my profession, and there are no jobs who want a 57 y/o unskilled (other than xray) person working for them.I ran across your site, and am intrigued. I do get the impression that WA is legitimate, and I need to have somewhere else to direct my life now. I did want to respond to th enote in this post stating that your relatives were from Haiti. In light of the recent earthquake there, I hope if you still have relatives there they are ok and accounted for. I have just downloaded the free book about WA, and will be reading it.Thanks for the info, and, by the way, I think the image of a large black man walking an italian grayhound is quite sweet. Your wife and children are lucky. Today 2-11-10 was the day my house was scheduled for foreclosure.

It should be treated like unsolicited emails, proceed with caution. Or better yet do what I do, delete or trash it. At the end of the day, always do your research. My scam video will help you with that: www.workathomenoscams.com/scams Good luck.

I think I am going to try something other than affiliate marketing because we probably need to begin adding to our income sooner than later. I just received a magazine in the mail entitled "Money Making Opportunities." There are so many offerings in it on how to make money from home, it's overwhelming. It's hard to tell if they are legitimate or not. I would never join one that asked for a lot of money up front. I'll probably just stick to the list you sent me. Anyway, thanks again for your time. :) Jenny Eddy,
