My wife and I going to live in Miami between June 2008-Nov 2008! We’re going to get a place right on the beach. 
So why Miami?
My wife, Shilpi, is in Optometry School, and next year is her last year where she does a full year of rotations. Shilpi got accepted to Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, the top eye hospital in the world! She has a 6 month rotation there so, we’re moving to Miami!
Why is this a super affiliate perk?
Because this would not have been possible had I not been a super affiliate. If I was working a 9-5 job, Shilpi would have either not applied to Bascom, or have gone there and we would have been apart for 6 months (that would have REALLY sucked)!
When Shilpi told me the news about Miami, I realized what a blessing it was to have a mobile income. To have the freedom to run my business form ANYWHERE around the world (well, anywhere I can get internet connection).
If Shilpi and I want to spend 6 months in Miami we can, if we want to spend 3 months in Greece we can, if we want to just stay in Boston we can!
Having a 9-5 job in the rat race not only severely restricts your income potential, but also restricts where you can live. Now I know some of you are proud of the fact that you have 4 weeks of vacation time.
How about living your dreams EVERYDAY. Doing what you love, and taking as much or as little time off of your business as you want while you make $1000s a day on autopilot.
And if you get board with the scenery, you can go somewhere else for a while.
The perks of being successful in this business go way beyond just the money. Affiliate marketing gives you both time and location freedom, which are absolutely priceless!
Let me ask you this question:
Would you rather make $1,000,000/yr in a job, where you’re tied down in a cubicle for 60-80 hrs/week, or $200,000/yr as an affiliate, where your income is on virtual autopilot and you have complete freedom to live how and where you want?

That’s very cool … it’ll be nice to swap the Northeast for the Southeast for a while.
My family and I made a big move three years ago; we left Minnesota and moved to Israel. Like you, we were able to do it because of the freedom the Internet gives us to work anywhere we choose.
Since you guys are moving to Miami, where are you guys moving from? I am curious as to why your wife is pursuing a career in Optometry as oppose to being a Super Affiliate as well other than if she was a thousand percent passionate about it. After it would appear that Optometry is still a 9-5 even if you open your own practice… it’s time consuming.
For your question:
“Would you rather make $1,000,000/yr in a job, where you’re tied down in a cubicle for 60-80 hrs/week, or $200,000/yr as an affiliate, where your income is on virtual autopilot and you have complete freedom to live how and where you want?”
I will not choose 1 or 2 but:
I would choose to make $1,000,000/year on a virtual autopilot
Maybe I’ll see you on the beach sometime Amit. I’m already down here.
Definitely would agree. I was able to travel for 2.5 years around the world to Africa, South America, Europe, Israel, Thailand & India on my affiliate income!
Just got back 4 months ago and planning to go again soon.
My best wish to you in miami,
¿what can i say? I totally agree with googlelady
Hi Amit,
Now that is the super perk… wow the mobility of Affiliate business just need a Internet connection. Man this is even better than your earlier venture (MLM).
Congratulations!
I just bought three investment properties that overlook the beach in south beach. Let me know if you need a place to stay until you find a place to settle – I’ll see if they are available.
Congrats on your impending move! You are going to love the climate change, especially come winter. We are in Phoenix, so we know what it is like to live in a nice climate.
As far as your question is concerned. It is a no-brainer. We would take $200k as an affiliate over $1m stuck in a cubicle working for The Man! We would do this all year long. It is not even a close match!
We do like Googlelady’s take on it!
P.S. See you in a couple of weeks at PPC Classroom Live!

I asked you before why you were stuck in cold boston and you seem to have finally come to your sense! don’t move back to boston.
CAn you recommend affiliate marketing books for a newbie? I want to know what books or sites you frequented when you were first thinking about getting into this business.
On you question:
I’ll take the $1 million dollar job, do it for 5 years, save money and THEN retire and become a $200,000 dollar a year affiliate.
