What Did My Great Grandma Have To Do With Affiliate Marketing?
Alexander Bee
In 1850, my great grandmother's parents came to California with their three sons and their youngest daughter. Her name was Mathilda and she was only 17 years old. Her family was among the hundreds of thousands Americans and foreigners who arrived to the Western state in hope of finding gold.
According to what my grandfather told my mother and my mother told me, Mathilda, almost single-handedly, discovered one of the richest gold mines in Sierra Nevada. My mother also told me that Mathilda engaged in a forbidden love affair with an older and married man, who subsequently fathered my great grandfather. But this is a different story altogether.
I'm sure you understand by now that Mathilda was an exceptional woman. The enormous fortune she had obtained in 1852 in California, was totally lost by her grandson, my grandfather, in 1929 in New York, when the stock market crashed. Fortunately, she had died 9 years earlier and was spared the disaster.
"Why are you telling me your family's history?" I can almost hear you asking me now, "What does your grandmother have to do with affiliate marketing?" You'll know soon, my friend. Don't lose your patience.
In the middle of the 19th century, hundreds of thousands went to California in search of gold. Only few found it and made a fortune. First, they grabbed the opportunity when it presented itself to them; second, they possessed the courage to take risks on the road to fulfill their dreams; and third, they had both the knowledge and the tools to accomplish their goal. My great grandmother Mathilda was one of them. She left me a great legacy: "She (or He) who dares - conquers."
This, my friend, is it. Internet affiliate marketing is the Gold Rush of the 21st century. Don't miss your chance to be one of the few. Seize the opportunity now, before it's too late. If you want to realize your hope to find gold, have courage, get the knowledge and the tools, and go after it!
Internet Land is already very sophisticated and developed, but it is still an infant. It is today just as California was in the 1850's, packed with hidden treasures. But today you can dig it while sipping a drink in front of your computer, you don't need a pan and a shovel and you are spared the hard physical work. Only the gold is still the same glittering metal. Anybody can dig it out, you too.
Today is the day. You don't want to realize, 5 or 10 years from now, that you've missed the train. Always remember Mathilda: "He who dares - conquers."
