A very good evening to you

Hello~! Even though i have in this forum for quite some time already, but i didn't really actively participate because i was like the "most of the newbies", skeptical, reluctant and chose to believe in all those get rich quick schemes which never succeed. But a few days ago i hit a crossroad. It was either to forgo my dreams of having a workable business online or it was back to reality and work either a salesman or a promoter. I only had S$500 (Roughly about US$300) in my bank account and i was in a no play situation.

I realize this was it. Dreams or reality? Ideas or be practical? Boss or Employee? I decided that i wanted to pursue my dreams of being my own boss on the internet. I want to start a business that will continue to prosper throughout my years. Up till now, the only time i made money was through PPC sites where i actually click on many ad.s to earn that small but significant amount of cents. I made a grand total of US$8 within 3 weeks of being active. It was a small amount, but to me, it had a significant impact on me. It was like, "WOW, I just earned money from the internet from NOTHING!". At that moment, i started believing in the potential that internet could bring about.

I started exploring several ways of starting my own business, from trying to sell clickbank products through the use of blog, articles, web 2.0 sites like squidoo and hubpages, to playing around with adsense, and even tried those matrix schemes. However, all these actions resulted me with nothing but a negative budget.

It was then, my dreams were starting to shatter. It was like, what i am missing? I was definitely missing something. I gave serious consideration about it. I explored my mind. Then i realize one critical thing i was lacking all the time. It was, the resolve to go all the way till you achieve your goal. I realize all the while, i was like, made the purchase, found out that it is not really what i want, then give up. I believe that is the main reason why 90% of the newbies quit after sometime of trying out Internet marketing. the remaining 10% eventually turning into the elite warriors over here.

I told myself this, I want to be like you guys. Successful and pursuing your dream. This humongous dream, i shall slowly step into it. One at a time, and never i shall again look behind. I may not yet be earning anything yet from affiliate marketing, however, i shall make this promise to myself, and may the warriors here be my witness, that i, Edmund Lee, shall earn my first affiliate commission within this month, and if i fail to do so, i shall wake up to reality, that my mentality is too rigid to be able to do business online. And shall return back to working in real life.

For the first time in my life, I believe this is my first serious step to achieving my dream of a everlasting online business. Here i give my thanks to all of the warriors who read about my own story. I read through most of the posts meant for the newbies and i really appreciate all of them. All of you warriors took much valuable and precious time which you could use to earn much more money to help us newbies out. You guys are the best.
