I wish you the best of luck with it. I too could not find a job in my field so I literally taught myself webdesign by working as an affiliate. Now I make websites for businesses as well as “play” on my affiliate sites. It has really changed my life because now I consider my work “play” as I enjoy it so much. A full customized website sells for a pretty penny round here.
It was not this way at first…I have no shame in saying that if I had to live on what three months of building my affiliate site (never made a website before) earned my family we would be dead. I do however believe you are right, “I’m confident with focusing on the right things and proper amount of effort success can be achieved.” Good luck again!
