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!

You are right, Wealthy Affiliate is absolutely one of the best online business communities and trainers in the world!
I especially like its professional training courses and lessons. I have been using it for almost three years. It provides me with continous support for my business. I would strongly recommend it to others.
Den says

Almost three years! Wow you must have been doing well in your online business by now. It’s great to know that Wealthy Affiliate is still as supportive to your business after those long years.

Great review of Wealthy Affiliate! I totally agree with your three reasons for WA being the best platform for learning the skills to be successful online. I’ve been with WA for a few months now and love it. The more I learn, the more I realize how much the founders care about helping people find success online.
I really appreciate how you shared success stories from people within the WA community. It’s always encouraging to see stories like these and see how each one found success at different times and in different ways.
Thank you for promoting such an amazing and trustworthy opportunity!
Weston
Den says
Hi Weston.
I am glad you already love Wealthy Affiliate even as a beginner. You will love it more when you helped other people solve their problems and you gained their trust.
That is the time when they start buying what you recommend and your passive income will start pouring in. Be focused with what you are doing and you will get there.
Thanks for the comments,

Dustin says
Man that first section with all the success stories is really inspiring. I’d love to have the life of the guy that is able to travel as much as he wants. Hopefully I can get there one day.
Though I haven’t made a penny from my blog yet, I’m confident that the principles I’m learning on Wealthy Affiliate are setting me up to become financially independent in the future. When it seems to take longer than I want, these kind of stories help me keep going.
Thank you.
Den says
Hi Dustin,
Yes, Wealthy Affiliate is awesome and I also like Steve’s success story where he don’t have to mention any income. The fact that they are travelling the whole year while making money is something. A true digital nomad, but things will change a little bit because they have a baby boy now.
I had the same issue when I started but those insignificant little things keep on coming so I pushed forward. I am having good results now and you will be also if you keep on working on your website.
Remember this is the only field where it is almost level to become a businessman than in the offline world. In the offline world you have to have a lot of capital to be in business.

Greta site! You convinced me with your testimonials that I should join Wealthy Affiliate, but then I remembered I am already a member! Keep up the good work and tell your success story. I hope I will make it to your page in a year or two as the one of the top producers. Good luck!

This is an awesome review here! Full detail on the company and full honesty as well. A lot of different reviews online are only there to mislead people about the opportunity – that does not happen in this post.
Thanks for sharing! This will be very valuable for a lot of people who read this post. Great work.
Den says
Hi,
Thank you for appreciating my honest review of Wealthy Affiliate. It is very beneficial for people to join this platform as it will educate them about online business. No promises of instant wealth as it is only a service for people to learn the skills required.

Peter says
Wow! you have opened my eyes to what can be possible. I have built a site but not using WA promotion as a platform. My question is, are those numbers real? can you really get that much traction? Boot camp is my next goal. I think this just sold me completely.
Den says
Hi Peter,
Those numbers are real, and the best story for me is Steve’s which he does not mention anything about money though he is one of the most successful members of Wealthy Affiliate.
Thanks for the comments,

Warren says
Nice information. You got right to the point and nailed it. Good explanation of how it works and what the benefits are if you can execute the program. This is not a get rich quick scheme, but, done properly, can lead almost anyone to the financial promised land. I really like the examples and the math that shows that this is truly an income producing program.
Den says
Hi Warren,
Everything is provided and it is up to the member how much he can do to make his online business work. I agree with you that this is not a get rich quick scheme. I treated Wealthy Affiliate like my other offline businesses as it is a real business that has to be run properly.

Hi,
I’ve been doing some research of late about online businesses and have felt so confused at times. I have found what I thought looked legitimate a number of times only to find reviews that were not very positive. I have heard some good things about Wealthy Affiliate and your page backs that up.The support that Wealthy Affiliate offers is also important as I will be starting from scratch.
Thanks,
Paul
Den says
Hi Paul,
Wealthy Affiliate is the best place to learn the skills required to be successful in online business. It is only a service to educate people how to run an online business properly. It does not and will not promise that you become successful just by joining. Your success will depend on what effort and time you invest in your online business. The training and the resources are provided just to help you attain that success but it is you that will have to make it happen.
Thanks for the comments,

Sophia says
Hi Den,
Super review of Wealthy Affiliate! I’ve been in affiliate marketing for the past few years. Always advertising in the generic websites the program provides with limited success.
When I realized I needed my own website and recognized how little I knew about building it, I started looking for a training program. With Wealthy Affiliate, I found so much more! Training, site hosting, amazing community and an affiliate program. Can’t ask for more!
Sophia
Den says
Hi Sophia,
Glad you found Wealthy Affiliate. I had my share of wasted time on other platforms as well.

Wealthy Affiliate is definitely a legit program that allows you to make money online. However, unlike other programs out there claiming that you can make how much per day / month, WA tells you that you won’t even make a single cent if you don’t put in effort into your business. I highly recommend WA if you want to start up an online business.
Den says
Hi Daniel,
I agree Wealthy Affiliate is the real deal. But this is not a get quick rich site. You have to put some effort before you will see results in your online business.
