So here I am, nearly 2 months into all of this from the Dark Side of Aff Marketing...

I've got some affiliates under me, they're happy enough, doing massive sales... But am I happy?

Truthfully, the answer is no.
You know why? Because money is really inconsequential when you don't have time to spend it on anything but bills and car repairs.

I started this work thinking it'd be great. I'd have more time to do the things I wanted to do, but it's actually sucked up more of my time than anything I've ever done previously.
Constantly checking and rechecking the SEO nonsense, Page Ranks, Quality Scores, Alexa points...
It's NUTS!

Not to mention taking care of the affiliates under me. Don't get me wrong, they're a nice lot of people, trying to achieve the same goal I am. I don't begrudge them for it.
But they do take up a lot of my time, and because of the time difference (+10GMT here), I'm often up late at night with them.

There's GOT to be an easier way to work than this, or at least make a living... but I've yet to figure it out...
(other than my plan to rob a regional bank branch... ooh boy, that's a doozy!)
