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.
He is an example of being successful by both promoting Wealthy Affiliate and other online business ventures as well.
Another Guy Who Made It to Vegas
Another Vegas Regular.
Consistent Monetary Success
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!

Eric Walters says
Nice site Den. I’m inspired by your content because I know many of the people in the testimonials on your page and I know for a fact that they have found success online, which legitimizes and validates the Wealthy Affiliate opportunity you speak of.
How long have you been online trying to find success before you found Wealthy Affiliate?
Den says
Hi Eric,
I am glad you appreciate my site. I have been wanting to build websites before the time of WordPress and it did not materialize because it was too costly and technically overwhelming.
I had my share of being scammed for a long time and I wish I found Wealthy Affiliate earlier.
Thanks for the comments,
Den

Wealthy Affiliate is a great place to start, I was very skeptical at first, but now I’m getting into things here.
I have to say after reading more testimonials on your site, and seeing the benefits that other members are receiving because of their accomplishments is outstanding in my book.
When I see this it makes me more intent on what I am doing going forth. Thank you for this..
Den says
Hi,
There is always a lot of encouragement provided by Wealthy Affiliate members. Their success stories, the help you will get when you need it and the expertise they shared when you need to go to a higher level in online business.
Thanks for the comments,

Henry says
Thank you for the testimonials. Wealthy Affiliate seems great! It does not promise immediate success just by joining, and that is a good signal.
I really like the fact that some of the people in the testimonials are making their money from platforms such as Amazon (that it is totally unrelated to Wealthy Affiliate) and that proves that Wealthy Affiliate teaches it’s members how the Internet Market really works.
I really appreciate the honesty of the reviews I have read about Wealthy Affiliate, not sugar coated as sellers normally sound. Thank you very much!
Den says
HI Henry,
Wealthy Affiliate is the best platform to join if you are serious about making money online. No upsells, no fancy ads and no sugar coated success stories as you said.
Thank you for the comments,

Brendon says
I just finished reading your article an I must say, I am ready to have a vacation that last’s a year!
I am new to affiliate marketing and always looking for new training. There is a lot to learn, and the information seems endless.
Does Wealthy Affiliate offer continued training options within their platform? Also how do these guys compare to other training platforms?
Cheers,
Brendon
Den says
Hi Brendon,
Yes, that’s a cool way to enjoy life. Wealthy Affiliate offers continued training and the training is always updated.
This is the best that is available as of this writing and it is constantly evolving and it is always steps ahead of the competition.

What a great site. You are so right about everything you say.
While I am already a member of WA if I wasn’t this site would absolutely convince me that it is the right thing.
As a fellow member I hope you do absolutely great. Anyone who has made it to this page please understand this isn’t just another review but a great review of a great company.

Brilliant review on Wealthy Affiliate, Den! I would have clicked and join wealthy Affiliates with your recommendation but I am already a member there. Keep doing what you’re doing man! You will get FAR.
I have also read your reviews on Pure Profit Pro – I appreciate your bluntness and honesty!
Can’t wait to see what will be your next upcoming posts!!!! 🙂
Den says
Hi Kenny,
I am glad that you appreciate my review. I just want to point out that making money online is the same as in the offline world. You need a set of skills. Those that offer easy ways to make money online are not telling the truth.
You have to build an online business if you want to make money online, but if you just want to make a quick money online you are better off buying a lottery ticket, it is as simple as that.
Thanks for the comments,
Den
Chadimus says
How refreshing Den! I am encouraged by you sharing these guys’ stories! I also have been involved in Wealthy Affiliate and am loving it. I’m still working on the making money part, but I have a feeling it is coming soon!
I’m in my 3rd month, but not all the way through the training yet.
I would like to add that sometimes it takes time to develop that strong foundation on which to launch your online business or make money with your blog. Yet the guys here know what they are doing. The training is thorough and insightful and I know that I can push through!
Thanks again for the encouragement!

Den says
Hi Chad,
Wealthy Affiliate is the best platform out there. I wish I found it earlier. Kyle’s training that says you should stop selling is absolutely right.
Just try to help your website visitors find solutions to their problems and I am sure the money will follow.
Thanks for the comments,

Extremely detailed i don’t think i have any questions after reading lol. I am also a member of Wealthy Affiliate and i enjoy every moment of it.
I have met lots of interesting people, i have learned a lot of things about building a website and have a whole lot more to learn.
But am excited to be a part of the community. I will definitely be back here to read more of your reviews.
Den says

Trevor says
Thanks for the post Den, its inspiring seeing the success of so many. With these guys building up the platform it looks like a one stop shop, It looks like it has a good community, do you know if you get a dedicated mentor who could point out were you are going wrong or look to assist?
Den says
Hi Trevor,
Wealthy Affiliate is an awesome community. You do not need a mentor as you can always ask the whole community if you have your questions.
Thanks for the comments,

Arie says
Wealthy Affiliate is awesome! I have been using it for 2 months now and have enjoyed every minute of both going through the courses as well as building my online business.
I like reading success stories from other members on WA. Whether it is a first sale story or that they are now making a living off of it, it is inspiring to see and motivates me to keep going.
Seeing as how you can start for free and that you are not promised that you will make thousands within the first night, this sounds much more believable than the other affiliate training program.
Den says
Hi Arie,
Wealthy Affiliate is the best platform to learn online business skills. The community is awesome. I really wish I discovered it much earlier.
