Whoa, Can I ask what made you switch from that sick-looking 2010 gig?


Well, in 2010 I was doing affiliate marketing via Facebook & Adwords. FB made some changes during that time that made it impossible for me to continue. I ran with Adwords for a while but then Google killed of the niche too. This is basically what happens when you trust your livelihood in the hands of other companies that can turn it all off in a second. The income that year was split in half between me and my partner so in total I think we pulled in 300k. It was nice while it lasted but then the real world knocked.


thanks for sharing this. i thoroughly enjoy reading the progression of salaries over time of others in the tech world. cheers
