You are probably like me. A parent of school age children, who wants to be able to support them in all their schooling at sporting endeavours. In other words be a taxi driver, a part time teacher, and most of all, a stay at home mother. And it's great fun!
With only one income it is hard to provide those little extra things that are important to everyone. Part time jobs are extremely hard to come by where you can work enough hours to make it viable to go to work, and yet still provide you the time to spend with you family. Another important thing missing in your life is the satisfaction of being able to do something for yourself!! Giving yourself the feeling of self worth and independence.
I searched website after website until I stumbled upon the idea of affiliate marketing. Not knowing a thing about marketing at all, I was also sure that there had to be a website out there that wasn't a scam and would help me to get started. I didn't have a lot of money available to try all sorts of things out, so I needed an "earn while you learn" program to help fund my venture.
I stumbled across the Wealthy Affiliate University website. It looked like all my dreams had come true!

Being part of a community, where you have available to you a buddy system and forums that you are able to share ideas and ask questions. In my mind, one of the hardest parts of remote learning is feeling alone and not having anyone to share idea with or ask what you think may be dumb questions.
