Back in 2005 when I was a graduate student, I became fascinated with the internet economy and began reading every book I could get my hands on regarding the subject. I was inspired to start an internet business of my own.

I discovered that setting up a website and promoting affiliate products was the fastest way to get started with an internet business. I began researching and reading ebooks on the subject to learn as much as I could about it (starting in March 2005).

Over the months, I had little to no success; however, I was determined to succeed. You see, I hated my job at a famous government research lab. I wanted to be desperately free from my job and live the incredible lifestyle so many of the internet marketing 'gurus' talk about.

In September 2005, I stumbled upon Google Adwords and PPC Marketing in general. I began to devour every book regarding PPC Affiliate Marketing. Within 4 months, I was able to grow my online business, managing to make $10,000 in profits for the month of December 2005.

On June 15, 2006 I walked away from a $90,000/yr job and entered the "land of the living", never to work a "day job" again.

Fast forward to April 2007. I'm currently building several companies around the affiliate marketing business model and my business profits are currently $70,000/month and increasing rapidly.
