Is it Possible to Make Money Online so we can
Quit Our Day Jobs?
Yes, I did it and you can do it also if you are willing to put some effort and some skills to make an online business work.
You do not need to be an expert but there are some skills you need to learn. If I did it, you can do it also.
Welcome to my Site!
Hi,
My name is Belden and I have been doing affiliate marketing for more than three years now and I am running multiple websites as well as a couple of offline businesses.
When I started, I thought I would never learn plus my job as an aircraft mechanic prevented me from having time for my online lessons.
I persevered, and utilized any free time for my online lessons, even at work.
Here I am now, I finally shook my employee mindset and enjoying the freedom as as entrepreneur, both online and offline.
I quit my high paying job in aviation last March, 2018 and I never looked back.
Without the skills I learned online on how to be an entrepreneur, I would still be wrenching airplanes today.
I did not hate my job, as I actually love it, but being away from my wife and family is something else.
So be with me with this long article if you want to escape that trap you are in.
A Trap?
Yes, you read it right. A lot of people become so comfortable with their jobs that they forgot to invest and think ahead.
Your income, no matter how high it is at the moment will level with your expenses sooner than you would realize.
Inflation and your wants which become your needs will always catch up and will eat up your income.
I am afraid that you are one of those people that's why you need something to change the situation you are in.
Let's continue and I will show you how I changed my life for the better.
How can you get out of this Trap?
The first thing you should do is to shake that employee mindset first.
A lot of people failed because they count the hours they have put in their business as per their hourly wage.
That's not the way a business should be run.
Do not trade your time with money, but trade your time with investments that will pay more in the long run.
It took me a long time to shake that employee mindset, because there is always that fear that I will have a hard time without my good salary.
( I already had two offline businesses which my wife was running at that time, but the mindset was still there)
When my websites are up and running, I finally shook that employee mindset and decided to go home with my family and just focus on my businesses both online and offline.
Offline businesses requires a lot of money as capital and more so to scale up.
You can take it from my experience as I am doing both.
Online marketing is a different beast so to speak as it requires a small amount of money to start and will cost almost nothing to scale up.
Now, if you are still interested let's move on and talk more about online business.
How to Start an Online Business?
Building a website and start an online business is the cheapest way and the best way to be an entrepreneur.
It allows anybody without a large amount of money as capital to start a business.
There are a lot of ways that you can monetize a website.
- Selling your own product on your website.
- Running Ads on your website.
- Promoting other people's product on your website and get a commission for every sale.
What is Online Affiliate Marketing?
Online affiliate marketing is promoting somebody's product on your website and get a commission for every sale made.
There are so many Affiliate Programs you can join online and they have varying commission structures and products.
I am an affiliate of Amazon, EBay, AWeber, SEMrush, Thrive Themes, Human Proof Designs, Transcribe Anywhere, Shopify and even Agoda on this website.
On a guitar niche website website that I also manage, I am promoting products from Amazon, EBay, Reverb, JamPlay, Guitar Pro and Hantug Guitars.
Once your website is up and running, you have thousands of affiliate programs to join.

The Successful Wealthy Affiliate Members!
The Las Vegas Super Affiliate Conference
Wealthy Affiliate has an annual Super Affiliate Conference held in Las Vegas, Nevada every year.
It is an all-expense paid conference with all the luxurious amenities.
Everything is first class, and you stay in a suite in a five-star hotel.
The guys that are invited are those who made 300 sales for the year.
A sale will give $23.50 recurring monthly commission per referral, and that is $7050 per month recurring commissions.
How about the guys who went there every year.
If we just count five years that’s 1500 referrals and let’s just say half of them left WA, that is still at least $15,000 a month from Wealthy Affiliate alone, not counting the other affiliate programs he is enrolled.
Starting September, it only requires 100 sales up to December. These are guys who made it. Check this out!
Self Made Millionaire
Dom is not into Affiliate Marketing anymore as he owns Human Proof Designs.
He is selling pre-made websites and website contents for those affiliates wanting to jump-start their online quest.
He has about 100 online employees, and it is run by his management team.
It shows that you do not have to promote Wealthy Affiliate to be successful in your business. You will get all the training and support to start and run any online business.
He is a very cool guy, he did not leave Wealthy Affiliate, and you can still read his blogs to inspire new members.
If you are lucky, you can even find him on LiveChat giving bits of advice and answering questions.
That’s the beauty of Wealthy Affiliate as sometimes you brush shoulders with millionaires.
Consistent Success in Earnings.
Another Guy who is in Vegas every Year.
Jay is the guy giving the weekly Webinars in Wealthy Affiliate. Aside from the training provided Jay will supplement it with new updates and new techniques.

My Journey
This is not part of the success stories above, but I just want to point out that this program works.
I was still working forty hours per week, and sometimes have to do 60 hours per week as an Aircraft Mechanic on a major airline.
I did not have much time to work on my websites, but I have been earning money monthly starting from 25 days of joining Wealthy Affiliate.
At six months I made $272.50 a month, and I know it is peanuts, but it shows that if I could just put more time on this, I could scale up.
I have also started to get commissions from eBay, Amazon, and JamPlay (online guitar lessons website) and enrolled in affiliate programs like Aweber, iWriter, Hantug Guitars of Turkey, Shopify, Jaaxy, and SEMrush.
The main reason my website is called Quit That Day Job is because I have a vision that I can quit my day job very soon through online marketing.
I am now seeing a clearer path to achieve that and enjoy what I have invested after long years of employment. Don’t you think it is time to learn the skills and ditch that 9-5?
The answers are here, and it is up to you to utilize that information. There is a joke among internet marketers that says ” Intentions are not ranked in Google, only actions” and this is my guide going forward.
So what is it going to be, are you going to keep those good intentions until it dries up or you want to do something to change your life? The choice is yours!

I pray I find help here. Thanks in anticipation for your kind response

I am already a Wealthy Affiliate member only now, I have to become premium to make a dollar or even watch the videos.
Den says
Hi, Jackie,
There are videos for free starter members, but the videos accessible to premium members are more advanced. A premium member has more chances to make money than a free starter member.

Do u sell to ppl??? Im more of a behind the seens person..
Den says
Hi,
The beauty of online marketing, especially in affiliate marketing is that there is no direct selling involved. It is perfect for guys like you who do not want to do sales.
Affiliate marketing is more about solving people’s problem than selling. They come to your site seeking information for a particular product, you give them the information, their problem solved and trust is developed, you recommend a product, visitor clicks your affiliate link buys the product from the merchant website like Amazon and you get commissions.
No selling, and in fact that is where most affiliate marketers fail. They try to sell to their website visitors.

JASON FELICIANO says
well this is very interesting. I loved every ones stories and their improvement of life and money. I would love to try this I mean I only loose what 40 bucks if this isn’t true and a life changing opportunity if it is true. I would love to do this for my self and to give a better life to my kids.
>>> question can I start out for free and me some cash to where I can get the premium or will I not make any thing till I get the premium<<<
The reason I ask is well due to economy where I live is really down and I have been out of work for 3 month and I have 2 kids and a wife. So I am at my dead end of my marriage and every thing that I own I mean its not much but it is mine. plus I would also like to do this because I would like to be a very good success story to put up. please get back to me and let me know the answer to my question. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Den says
Hi Jason,
I appreciate your interest in Wealthy Affiliate. I have to be honest with you. It is hard to make money using the Free Starter Membership. I would also like to emphasize that we teach people how to start and run a real online business.
As with other businesses, this will take time to get results, but if you are successful this could change your life. If a quick buck is what you want, this is not for you. If you are willing to invest a small amount of money and your time, this could change your life.
I don’t want to encourage you to join premium membership just for my commission’s sake, then you will discover later that it is not for you. What I would suggest is you try the free starter membership, and if you think it is for you then that is the time to upgrade to Premium Membership.
Join Wealthy Affiliate here!
Once you join, the whole community will guide you through the training.

Promises are a dime a dozen. Like you’ve mentioned, it all comes down to how hard you work. How willing are you to make this a priority in your life? How hungry are you?
By joining Wealthy Affiliate what you are getting for the first time are the tools to finally make your dream come true of working for yourself and turning your goal into a reality.
Everything you need is there. All you need to do is make yourself a student and take this seriously. Continue to learn each day and don’t be afraid to ask questions. We are a community of like-minded people who are on similar journeys, to be SELF-SUSTAINED and not have to work a job we hate.
If you have been burnt in the past by broken promises you can start with FREE membership and you get your access to Course Level 1.
The first course alone was more than I ever learned on my own. The best part is that you’ll be up and running with a real website.
I’ve been with WA for 6 months now and my dreams are becoming more and more of a reality with each passing week.
I’m very happy with my decision to join Wealthy Affiliate. My only regret was not finding this platform sooner.
Den says
Hi Justin,
I am glad you take the time to write this lengthy comment about Wealthy Affiliate. The experience you mentioned is very much similar to mine and I am sure for the most of over 800,000 members.
It could have been much better if we found Wealthy Affiliate earlier.
Thanks for the comments,
Den
Jackie says
Wow, great overview and I love all of the inspiring stories you included. It sounds too good to be true. Can you really make money off of your own website, or do you have to market Wealthy Affiliate to be successful?
Den says
Hi Jackie,
These are not too good to be true stories as they are verified. You do not have to promote Wealthy Affiliate to be successful. Jay’s is an Amazon success story. A niche site can be more successful than a boot camp website. Look at humanproofdesigns.com by Dom.
