Letter from a Reader…

FYI, I’m in LA right now at Yanik’s Underground Seminar, all I can say is that I’m TOTALLY blown away! I’ll give fill you in on the details when I get back.

Anyhow, here’s a letter I recently received from a reader in China :

“Dear Amit,

I kept reading your blog everyday since you started it last March.Your Blog is great.I learned so much from it.Your are my hero.Thank you for sharing your experiences so generously.

After reading your article:When & When NOT to Quit Your Job…,I thought a lot.I am in the same situation,and need your advice.

I am a graduate student in South China Normal University now and would get the Master ’s Degree in June. To find a job or not ,that is a question to me.

This is my situation:

1. Income for Clickbank by GG Adwords method:$8000-10000/month
2. but the keywords group is small,only include 20 keywords.Only promote one products.So it seems like the income is not stable.Anyway,it last for 5 months till now,and survived after two GG slaps.
3. My family expense is about $400/month.I had a boy nearly 2 years old.And my wife is a fulltime mother.
4. If I get a job(as a tearcher),the salary is about $500-600/month.Working 5 days/week,8 hours/day.
5. If I go to work, it’s hard to get my affiliate income to a new level.If I take affiliate as my full job,maybe I could do better.My next goal is $30000/month if I go full time in affiliate marketing.It is big money in China,as you know.In addition, I have learned so much about affiliate marketing and don’t want to give it up.

But the market is always chanceful, No one can promise the affiliate income would last forever.In the contrast,the job can give me a stable income in the long run.

So,what should I do now? Could you give me some advices? Sorry for my poor English.

Thank you in advance.”

I wrote back to him and told him that he should go full time, considering his affiliate income is OVER 20 times his living expenses. Congrats to your success!

Think about it, this fellow is in China, his English is not the greatest, and he’s a student – yet he managed to launch a successful ppc affiliate campaign that blows away what the average American makes.

And yet I continue to hear the same excuses from affiliates :

1. I don’t have the time
2. I don’t have the money
3. My English isn’t very good

If you how rigorous the Chinese education system is you know he doesn’t have a ton of free time on his hands. Students in China go to college to actually learn, not binge drink and go to frat parties.
Do you think my reader from China “had the money”? Most newbie affiliates spend $25- $50 testing out a campaign for profitability.

Do you know how much money $25-$50 is in China?!?

His goal is to make $30,000/month.  I have no doubt that he will.

Ever wonder why the Chinese economy is growing so fast?

Get off your butt, stop making excuses, and make it happen already!
