He thought this new industry might be an interesting fit for me. I came to work for them and took to it like a fish to water, learning all aspects of the business for the first couple years. Being a marketer, I just kept my eyes and ears open, looking for ways to make money in different areas. I slowly started doing little side project, unrelated to what I did for them. Those grew and grew until I was making 10X more on my own stuff than I did from my salary and commission with them (which by that point had gotten pretty good) Obviously I saw I could make, 10, 20, 50X more building my own business than I could ever make working for someone else...evan at a very high salary.
And thats it, have been building, expanding, acquiring, adding and diversifying ever since. With the same partner(s)
I think the reason I love this business so much is that its tailor made for us ADD types. What other business can you see the effects of changes you make in minutes. If I have a campaign running and its getting 30k clicks a day, I can have changes made to the creatives, paths, offers etc and see if those changes were successful in minutes, I just LOVE that about this industry!
