Got started with eBay about 1998 and still do eBay on occasion. Have made 10's of thousands of dollars doing eBay.
Dabbled with eBay and Amazon for years. Studied affiliate marketing around 2000 and made lots money with Adsense and other marketing methods. Sort of got out of Internet marketing when Google started to make things difficult and eBay started raising their prices.
Decided in 2007 I wanted to retire early so jumped back into affiliate marketing and IM. Accomplished my goal on June 26. I quit my job and am happily semi-retired. I have made a 6 figure income from IM the last 2 years and I hope I will continue to do so.
Joined WA in October 2009 to see if there was anything here I could use....didn't participate much until after I retired....I can't really say there is much here at WA I need. I am seriously thinking about quitting.
