My Life As an Affiliate Marketer
Posted 08-31-2011 at 08:45 AM by Kysaan
Dear All,
This is my first post and for me it' s kind of a big deal, I will start at the beginning so you can understand my rambling a little easier.
My life as an affiliate marketer started back in 2010 when I was 5 months pregnant, sitting in the south of France with my wonderful husband. Life was pretty good except we had gone from a 5 figure monthly income down to a 4 figure monthly income whilst paying rent on the Cote d' Azure and a mortgage in the Netherlands. I had to google the meaning of a BUDGET and get use to the idea that money was tight.
This story of money being tight is familiar to a lot of people, I know but when it actually happens to you its not that fun. My life was changing in leaps and bounds, I was no longer working, therefore my whole concept of who I was, the value I placed on myself as a working professional, and my future new role as a mother had to be digested and re-evaluated, whilst my hormones were raging my body changing; my husband was working his butt of to make ends meet (which to be honest some months we were too short for cash so we had to do the horrible business of asking our parents for money.. SERIOUSLY NOT COOL!)
So I looked to the internet for help!
Ahhh,, the internet... my financial saviour... (well so I thought!) I started looking for work from home adds, and the first thing that pops up is “surveys” “get paid working from home” ... ok I thought I’m a consumer and I can contribute here quite easily and with the promise of making any thing form $100 per day to $1000's , I thought great.. a little pocket money won't hurt, so I signed up for 4 sites promising financial freedom, These site were
So to summarise my survey attempts I spent a total of $217.75, made $10.70............ Yes I am annoyed but I put it down to a bad experience, and I looked to other projects.
My next post will be my experience with

- Online Job Shack ($49.90), this was my first site, I was overwhelmed with the information and the amount of effort you had to put in to be selected for a survey, so I just let it sit there and I did nothing with it.
- Key boards 4 dollars ($69.95), this is a very informative website, I've made $0.00 so far but I haven't given it a fair go,, its on my list so I will give it a fair go this next month and let you know how I go.
- Survey Stampede ($47.95)
- Survey Selection ($49.95) These 2 sites I actually spent days signing up to all the survey companies, only to get continually spammed by these companies.
- Guess how much money I made doing this???? a grand total of $10.70...They also promise you can work anywhere in the world... well yes that’s true, but when I tried to sign up for companies in Australia, I was not allowed as the computer told them where I was in the world there fore I didn’t qualify …. or they redirected me to Dutch companies,, and if any of you know Dutch is not an easy language and my level is very low so no I could not participate...
- So I asked for my money back per their guarantee.... and surprise surprise,, they are ignoring my emails...

My next post will be my experience with

- Consumer Wealth System
- Ewen Chia Super Affiliates
- Income Times Ten
