I will not tell anyone how much I earn, but I do slightly have over 4 sites where I earn a little bit from each one. I will not mention what the other sites are as I may get people just wanting to copy them, which would be a copyright infringement on my work anyway if they did and I would take action.

I will say that I have been doing affiliate marketing and other online marketing plus other stuff to do with the internet for just over 6 years. I was in a job where I was earning on average around £200 - £250 a week. I quit that job about 3 years ago to do all this internet stuff fulltime and I have not needed to work for anyone else since.

Doing this is not just about the money though, it is also the fact that I enjoy what I do, I don't have to answer to any boss, and I can work when I want to work.

The only main reasons why I have managed to do all this fulltime and had quit my job whereas others can't manage to relly on their affiliate or other online income fulltime is because I didn't quit when things became hard and looked like they were going nowhere. My 6 year ride in making money online has been very bumpy indeed and has not been easy at all. When I first started I was sometimes spending over 20 hrs on the web continously without any sleep just to try and get things done quickly.

I now take on some freelancers from time to time to help out with some stuff. Things have become a little easier, but it's still no easy job when it comes to earning online. But then I guess it depends on how you do it. Some people have it easier than others.

How well are you doing?
