A lot of you may be asking how I manage my time considering I’m currently 25 years old, work full time

and obviously have somewhat of a social life.

Monday thru Thursday:
I have my daily grind to take care of. I wake up by 7am and I’m at work by 8am. I work til 5pm with a 1 hour lunch. I usually don’t take a lunch and try to get in some research and possibly compose a draft for a blog. By the time I get off I like to have put in about 1.5 hours of research and/or work by the time I get off. I’m home by 6pm and usually eat dinner by 7. This gives me about 2 hours to work between 7 – 10pm. I like to watch House and Criminal Minds on Monday and Wednesday so that takes up some of my time. With that said, I’m in bed and trying to sleep between 10 – 11pm so I can get my 8 hours of sleep. I need my beauty sleep.

Friday:
I have my daily grind to take care of. I wake up by 7am and I’m at work by 8am. I work til 5pm with a 1 hour lunch. I usually don’t take a lunch and try to get in some research and possibly compose a draft for a blog. By the time I get off I like to have put in about 1.5 hours of research and/or work by the time I get off. If I decide to go out tonight I won’t get in any extra work during the evening. If I do get to work, I usually put in 3 hours of work sometime between 7 and 11pm. I like to keep my evenings free, plus I like to watch Numbers on Friday night if I don’t go out.

Saturday:
I take it pretty easy as well. I usually put in 4 – 6 hours of research and work today. I’ll wake up around 9am and do work from from 10am – 4pm. I play soccer on Saturday evenings and like to go out with my friends so I try to leave my evenings free to do whatever I please. Saturdays I usually crash out after partying or after my soccer game. The games are pretty late and I don’t leave the bar til last call so I pass out anywhere from 12am – 3am.

Sunday:
I take it pretty easy, I put in another 4 – 6 hours of research and work today. I wake up around 9am. I usually put in my work from from 10am – 4pm. I leave the evenings free to do whatever I feel like doing. I usually crash between 10 – 11pm.

So I calculate that I put in a minimum of 19 hours and a maximum of 33 hours weekly. Let’s just say I work an average of about 25 hours weekly.

Oh and it helps being caught up at work so you can do work on your IM projects during your down time!

My goals are simple.  I want to be able to start off by being able to pay for my student loans via the income I earn online.  That’s short-term.  In the long-term I wouldn’t mind being able to make a living via the web.

Here’s a small set of goals that I’ve establish for myself.  This way, within 6 months I’ll be able to pay for student loans via the income I’ve made off the internet.

Please note, these figures are net income, not revenue generated.  I also plan for this income to be recurring income.  Not income I’ve made off a one-time sale of a website/service/etc…

Well a few years back when affiliate marketing hit myspace I took advantage while I could.  I mean, who didn’t.  A friend walked me through everything I needed to get started.  Before I knew better I was making hundreds daily with MINIMAL effort.  Life was good.  Then they cracked down and myspace sued everybody.  So, I decided it was best to go legit.

This is where I ran into problems, I didn’t know affiliate marketing at all.  I never even attempted to learn it and subsequently didn’t even try.

Then around October of 2007 I decided I wanted to get involved in affiliate marketing because I didn’t want to get a full time job.  For about 2 months I research and read A TON of material on WickedFire and learned many useful things which is what I will be basing this attempt on.

This time last year I started a handful of autoblogs, ran a few PPC campaigns, had a couple legit sites and ended up spending around $300 and only seeing about $100 of it come back to me.  When you don’t have a job and see that kind of money going out, you lose hope, which I did.  Plus a full time job came a long and I had to accept it.  Bills were getting past due.

Now this time around I have some money at my disposal that I can invest and attempt to make some money online.  I know that it takes money to make money.  With the help of WickedFire I’m hoping to make a decent amount of money online.

The purpose of this blog is to give you frequent updates on my attempts to make money online.

I currently work full time as a Title Officer for Fidelity Residential Solutions.  I do title work on foreclosed homes in Michigan, Georgia, Utah, South Dakota and Montana.  This job is currently financing my attempts to make some money online until I become profitable.

I just finished my Bachelors degree in Finance from Northeastern State University.  Unfortunately, I obtained my degree with the help of student loans and I just started paying them back this month.  Once profitable, I plan on paying these student loans back, in full with the money I’ve earned online.
