Ever have one of those weeks when everything goes wrong, or when bills just all of a sudden start getting out of hand? Yeah I thought you did too.
Let me tell you about the last few weeks, and then I’ll tell you why I’m happy I’m making money blogging and selling as an affiliate marketer.
No I’m not goona brag that I just bought a new porsche or yacht or private plane or any of that other non-sense bs you always read about. Im going to give a reality version of what a bad week looks like and how it all comes out ok when you’re starting to make money blogging
Ok so here goes.
For the past year Ive had a molar that is (was) sensitive to cold and was starting to hurt. Well the pain got to be a little bit worrisome so off to the dentist I go.
Dentist: "well shane looks like you have a cracked molar from an old filling and it’s either dead or dying. Im going to have to remove that old filling give you a root canal and put a crown on it." Ok fine so long as the painstops and life can get back to normal, you know chewing on boths sides of your face… $1825.54 Later and a week or so and it was all done.
Then the brakes on my ferrari Chrysler Sebring were’nt sounding so good. Actually they hadnt been for a while, I know I put off stuff till the last minute ie the molar….
SO I took it to a friend of the family’s garage, and told him to fix the brakes, he’s a long time friend so I know I’m not gonna get raped…. (ahem) $770 later the squeeky brakes are gone and I feel better about being able to stop in traffic !!!
Then, yes it goes on… we’re driving down the road and our five year old boy spots some beavers on the way to beaver class?, or what ever they call it. " can I join beavers?", so we go check it out and sign him up $169 plus a $25 due (beaver food they call it)
Then, My girlfriend is watching an oprah episode, ok I admit I was watching it too.. it was the one where she is telling the women of the world that they’re wearing the wrong bra sizes and don’t now how to size a bra properly, go figure eh, women dont know how to buy lingerie either. So my girlfriends gets all jazzed up about this pulls out the tape measure thingy and shes like OH MY GOD Im wearing the wrong bra size !!!.Then she gets all perturbed that she cant afford to replace her bras. NOW GET THIS. I decide to be the good guy here and tell her to use my visa to buy some new bras. BIG MISTAKE. she bought 7 bras, one for every day of the week. for a grand total of $230. I almost freaked out. But its all for the greater good right? (wink wink nudge nudge).
Now thats some where in the area of like 2500 to 3000 dollars EEEE GADS thats horrid!! But I’ll tell you what If I havent been doing what Im doing and making money blogging and selling as an affiliate marketer I wouldnt have been able to afford it with out some serious cuts in other ares of my life.
Whats really even better about this is that I have been catching hell from my girlfriend because I spend a good deal of time on the computer. Good to know she has some faith and is getting to be a lot more supportive!! after having the sick few weeks we just had.
Hahahaha Just when I thought I was getting someplace and getting ahead of the game!!! Good damned thing for affiliate marketing and the blogosphere !!!
See!.. no bs claims about buying fancy cars or big houses or other stupidity just a real honest tale of a few weeks of money hell all gone wrong and then made right from making money blogging and selling as an affiliate marketer.
Just a little horn tooting here though I got a check from Click bank for $356.46 a week back. Good thing My visa is starting to scream!!!!
So you can have a hellish few weeks and cover it by making money blogging and selling as an affiliate marketer















All that stuff sucks, but it’s great that you’re making some money with blogging. I’m just starting out and it’s slow going. Good luck!
Oh does it ever suck having everything all fall on your head in foul blow. But I’m glad I had a cushion to fall back on. Keep at it buddy you’ll start making money blogging. Wait till you get your first sale . I almost jumped out of my chair when I saw my first sale !!! If you’re looking for a great forum to get some great advice I highly recommend

I totally agree with you there; when it rains it pours. (Yes, it sounds cliche) But anyways, I have been blogging for a while now using Adsense, and I must say, I dont really think it lives up to the hype.
Shane, I left you a message pertaining to your question on my site, maybe we can work something out.
peace
