Hello all,
I haven't posted much because I've been so busy reading all the information here and other places. But today my journey begins from an underpaid college dropout to successful internet entrepreneur. My goal is to use affiliate marketing to make enough money that can ultimately finance a major internet business (yet to be determined, still bouncing off ideas left and right). I've cut all TV, non essential internet browsing thats not related to me hitting my goals. It's seriously time to make this thing happen for me and turn my life around. My ultimate goal? Retire in my thirties, travel the world Timothy Ferris style. It's not gonna be easy, and it's going to take the digital equivalent of blood, sweat and tears. But I believe from all the crap that I've already been through in life, no one is better suited for it.
My stats:
Age: 25
Cash in hand: $0, living paycheck to paycheck at the moment
Debt: $30,000+
Start date: February, 5th 2011
Targets:
I know I don't know any of you on a personal level, but I hope that will change as I transition from lurker to active participant. If anyone has any questions, comments, criticism, feel free to post it up.

Debt: $30,000+
Start date: February, 5th 2011
Targets:
- $2,500/month by the end of the summer in affiliate marketing
- Have my first website (unrelated to my affiliate marketing plans), up and running by April 2nd, 2011.
- Have at least 3 concrete ideas for potential big businesses by summer. (It's funny how once your brain goes into problem solving mode how many ideas you can think of).
- Probably my most important goal of them all. Have a sufficient steady income enough to quit my job at Target by December 31, 2011. (Before the holiday season will be even better).
I know I don't know any of you on a personal level, but I hope that will change as I transition from lurker to active participant. If anyone has any questions, comments, criticism, feel free to post it up.
