Suddenly No Salary — Here’s What I Did Next

In 2010, I took a leap in the dark.

For family reasons, we had to move from Alabama to Kansas. (Man, do I not want to relive that story.) And that meant I’d have no regular salary. I’d have to make a living as a freelancer — writing, speaking, and teaching.

For a while I made that work, but at the cost of making myself crazy and discombobulating our household — I had to be gone all the time on speaking trips to make things work.

That was a strain on everyone.

Plus, it was erratic: I had to accept every offer this month, because who knows if any will come next month? Awful. It was no way to live.

Things turned around when I developed my first non-book product, Liberty Classroom.

But they really, really turned around when I discovered that with a significant amount of up-front work (I have no get-rich-quick story to tell you, I’m sorry to report), I could generate additional income streams selling things as an affiliate.

These were things that I knew intimately and could speak about with authority.

I created an affiliate site for the Ron Paul Curriculum, for example, and drove free and paid traffic to it. I did similar things for other products.

Some worked, some didn’t. But I’ll tell you one thing: I didn’t have to be on the road nearly so much after that. And my five girls appreciated that.

Now my mother is doing the same thing. Her niche: game-room products. When someone clicks on your link and buys something like an air hockey table, the commission is pretty darn good.

I can say without fear of contradiction: Mom knows more than I do about this stuff now.

She learned from two of my friends: Andrew Hansen and his business partner Sara Young, the mom of 7 who became an expert affiliate marketer after deciding she wanted to stay home with her kids rather than leave home to get a job.

Andrew and Sara are holding a special event for you folks on November 3, where they’ll show you what they taught my mother.

This ain’t get-rich-quick, believe me. I’ve done it. But it’s definitely build-another-income-stream.

Some of the links on this site are affiliate links, which means I earn a commission if you click on them and buy something. This helps me keep the lights on around here. Naturally, I don't recommend a product unless I have used and benefited from it myself, or I have researched it enough to determine it to be of good quality and likely to benefit my readers. I don't promote anything created by the swamp dwellers. Thanks for reading!
