Hello Everyone...My story
Aug 09, 2011
Hello my name is Marisol Santiago I am a single mother of four I have been out of work for about two years now. I had a injury that put me out of work. After all the struggle and great depression of not being able to do the things that I could before I finally arose from the dark and walked into the light.
I was going through a terrible financial crisis that set me back two years. I could not keep up with my bills and almost got evicted from my home.I was down in the dumps. Eventually, I came to my senses because living on a fixed income is not for me.With a 18 year old daughter on her way to college I had to think fast and hard about my next move.I had to figure out a way to bring in real income into the home or else I was going to move into a cardboard box soon with my four kids.I inquired about owning a small business from home. I wanted to be successful and be able to provide the same living situation that we had before my injury.I asked so many questions called people signed up for surveys, shopping jobs and even light retail jobs, but waiting almost a month for a paycheck was not my idea of a "come up".I even invested in a mentoring program to then find out that there are mentors over the internet that would give you the same info for FREE! And who doesn't Love Free!!! But I was already invested and afraid of losing more money so I continue everyday in my search for a new and better way to conduct business over the internet.I currently have my own website that I sell handmade presents (jewelry, clothing, housewares) mostly imported from Peru, China and even Australia and of course from the good old USA. My website designers are truly expensive, but they did set up the site for me really fast and helped set up my Facebook Fan page for me.Unfortunately most of my sales have been from sites that are free or sites that only charge a seller's fee still a lot less than my own personal website.But making mistakes and learning from them is what makes your business. You just have to remember that you don't make the same mistake twice.So I started to look into affiliate links and boy to my surprise I found out that I can actually get paid through someone's advertisement...Gosh I wanted to smack myself in the face but I'm glad I did find the right affiliates for my site it helped me make some money advertising for them and that is a good thing when you are starting out so I really want to say thanks to those great affiliates that help little people like me make some money and the best thing of all is I get to help others in the process.
