Okay so i will be respectful of your time and make this short

I am working a job in customer service where i'm abused and i make a disgusting amount of money. I'm starting to really feel as if my soul is being just flattend and i'm finding it hard to have the joy i used to have in life ( i know woe is me )

So i've tried some free affiliate marketing models and had no luck. But if i just had 13 sales a week i would make what i make at work in TWO weeks. If i put about 30 or 40$ into this with CPA and an official com domain and put everything i had into it, my heart and soul. could i honestly stand a good chance at making 13 sales a week or close to it?

I'm just trying to see if this is possible. Because i am just at my breaking point as i'm sure many of you understand. Thank you

I appreciate your reading this and if you decide to comment.

    Heres how I felt about it when I was in your position.

    I was a steel worker for a while when I first got started getting in the mindset of "there has to be more than this" - and talk about some serious labor. I probably lifted 50,000 pounds a day in steel before I got hit in the legs by a sideloader forklift moving 24 ft steel tubes and the company wasn't sympathetic towards me at all. Eventually I got into the mode of figuring out how much I was "worth" to the company. If I put 1 piece of steel on a truck that the company spent $240 on, and they sold it for $1000. After taxes, I was worth the cost of that one piece of steel. I moved thousands of those things all of the time, but all I made was $14.00 an hour, I was worth less to this company than a piece of equipment.

    So eventually, I paid $200 for a box of paracord bracelets from China. In that box, I had 868 bracelets. I sold each bracelet on eBay for a profit of $1.90 and I sold them all within 5 weeks doing nothing but stuffing them in little envelopes and putting shipping labels on the envelopes and I made over $1600.00 in profit from those alone. It took me maybe 5 hours to do everything associated with buying and selling those stupid things. Guess what? That box of bracelets was worth as much as I was to the company I used to work for. It didn't take me long to find 12 or 15 similar products and I was making $10,000 a month. 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, over $60.00 an hour. It wasn't anything. No idea why I convinced myself at one time that I was only worth $14.00 an hour while I was physically destroying myself.
