Awesome post, thanks mike

Thanks for the kind words guys, and thanks to Randy for letting me post on his blog.

Yeah whats great is reading all this stuff guest posters have been writing. In reality only a few affiliate blogs get updated more than 1 time a month, so its great to see so much good info starting to be shared.

Great article! I have had the pleasure of working with Mike and this guy is just awesome :)

Great read! Thanks to both you guys for getting this posted.

Reading this it's like it was directed at me, thanks Mike.

Thanks MJ, it was a rambling rant, but sometimes those are pretty fun to write.

Great post Greg, I also enjoyed your last post Ridge.

Thanks guys!

And WOW! I never expected such a huge response, I have spent the whole day chatting with fellow affiliates and getting several hooked up with great tools for player conversions.

If you have IM"d, PM'd or emailed me and I have not yet response, please be patient with me as I'm trying to spend as much time as possible with everyone. So I will get with you ASAP! Feel free to add me to skype (Randy.Ridge)

Thanks

Randy

Nice domain too, very nice.

Mark

Any results yet?

This is going to be very interesting, keep us posted.

Post the office pics man, I always loving checking out other peopl'es work spots.

Randy,

Life is all about risks and I think your a very clever young man that knows when risks can be caluclated at "RISK WORTH TAKING"

Not only are you smart and respected in this industry, you are at the same time a great person and this is one of the main reasons i presume your becoming as successful as you are!!

I wish you the very best of luck if you do decide to take this on full time and congratulate you on your success so far mate!

Colin

Congratulations!

Do your wife have a blog?

JESUS MAN! Couldn't keep it in your pants could you? (I assume that means your wife is a H0T CHIXX0RZ).

But seriously, if you have a full time job that kicks ass, just imagine how much more money you'd make affiliating with that extra 40 hours a week. While both scenarios kick ass, one kicks more ass than the other, and it's all about the ass kicking. The decision to go full time can't be just about money however. You need a minimum to survive. The rest falls in the "nice to have" category.

No matter what you do for a living, you have to not just love it, but be passionate about it. If that's how you feel about affiliating, see if you can arrange a one year sabatical and "reserve" your job in case things don't work out as you planned. At least, you'd get to try it out for a year and see how it goes. If that's not possible, then tell those fuckers to suck it and go do what you love.

P.S. Just so we're clear, I didn't mean have a 7th child... Hehe!

LOL, close to 15, just 6 though - I'm 31 and my youngest is 12 and my oldest is 15. If you do the math you will see that I started early Another reason I feel so lucky, I really probably should have been stuck in some factory job that I hate. I am just so blessed!

Thanks for the kind words spry, your post on J's blog discussing ebay opened up a whole new revenue stream for me as well, so I owe you a ton as well!

Randy congrats man! I don't know your personal sitaution but I think you've got like 15 or so kids (j/k ) but there is nothing like being a full time affiliate. You've obviously got the work ethic and the drive to do it, so you need to decide if the risk of quitting your baller job is worth going full time as an affiliate. Lots of people say the coporate job is the safer route but i disagree, being your own boss and in control of your own destiny is safer, as you can't fire yourself (or lay yourself off).
Now with that said, I wouldn't quit unless you have some significant savings in the bank or in the safe... one thing this business has taught me is that you never ever know what is going to happen tomorrow and shit can and will totally change on you in the blink of an eye... but you have the skills and the knowledge to make income regardless of what happens. congrats again man.
