I totally feel your pain about trying to land a work at home job. Have you tried our work at home job resources listed below:

I’m pretty confident you can land a job with those pages above. It may take some time as it often does with these jobs but it should help.
In regards to the affiliate marketing the money you can earn with it isn’t even a question. There isn’t a ceiling as there would be with a job. But that’s assuming you know what you’re doing and have the proper training.
So of course you can make decent money which is why so many folks are attracted to it. But with that said it doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone which is what I covered here:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/top10 so please read that page to decide this is right for you. I get the impression you probably prefer a job, in which case you should try the resources I’ve listed up there.

Welcome to my little known whole in the wall. lol I’m glad that you’ve found us but more importantly, I’m happy that you are actually reading through the material despite your past experiences and skepticism. At the end of the day, you have the right to be skeptic. This industry is riddled with garbage, hype and false promises. So I can’t really blame you. I use to be the same the way. But now I have the gift of research and I’m able to avoid a lot of the garbage.

The point of this site is to educate people and give them various legitimate options. I can’t say everything I recommend everyone will think is viable for them. But I try my best to give you so many opportunities that even if you may not neccessarily be interested in one there are others that may appeal to you. So although I sing the praises of affiliate marketing, don’t feel it’s the only viable option for you. I think I’ve made it pretty clear in my articles that it’s not really meant for everyone. I’m purely biased to it because it was the one opportunity that freed me from the rat race. But it doesn’t mean it will for you. So just keep that in mind.

There are enough legitimate opportunities in terms of work at home jobs or non-traditional make money at home stuff you can also try it. The sky is the limit and this will be clear as you read through the material. With that in mind I would encourage you to read the following pages:

I hope this helps. Good luck.

You’re welcome. By the way congrats on making a few dollars. There are folks out there who have been searching and applying for months and haven’t made a dime. At least you decided that you would take advantage of some opportunities that would make you some money then settling for none. So I applaud you. Keep at your goals and don’t give up.

Wendy,

I would say it’s the latter. There are a lot of folks with plenty 0s in their bank accounts and are miserable. The people that are happy with their success are the ones that have a balanced life. They’re rich with good hearted people around them and can sleep well at night knowing they came up on their own efforts and not on the back of others. If you can’t appreciate the journey to success then you’re not really successful in my mind.
