I've been building my Plan B retirement income online for a while now, in the background and have options that can work for most entrepreneurs - so long as they put in some work or a SMALL monthly investment. No magic money trees here, I'm afraid.I work three offline businesses which, combined, keep me in a comfortable lifestyle, so long as I keep working. Years ago I never imagined I’d want to ‘retire’ so I didn’t follow my accountant’s advice to plan a retirement income. Turns out now I wouldn’t mind working a few less hours, but I enjoy the lifestyle that working gives me.Actually, I DID invest in what was said to be a low-risk pension company, but it collapsed, and by then it was too late to start again on the conventional path. "Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans!"Belatedly, realizing a stress-free income could be attractive, I decided to use the skills of a life-time of self-employment and develop my own streams of income online.• As a director of a software development company for over 30 years I thought working online would be easy. Wrong could I be!• My very first software client is still a happy customer, and that business runs well without too much intervention - leaving me to pursue other interests, one of which was complementary therapy, and migraine.• I was so fascinated by all the different ways to prevent and treat it that I wrote an eBook on the subject - and decided to sell it online - like you do, before realizing it wasn’t as easy as the expensive coaching program I bought suggested it would be.To cut a long story short, selling my eBook online was tough, but I finished it, because I'm a glutton for punishment. After this I decided to learn affiliate marketing because - being honest - even when I'd "put my all" into the eBook, there were far better ones available, and you have to sell MANY $17 e-books to earn a comfortable monthly income!I would have made profits online faster if I had realized the importance of doing more training and getting help instead of "teaching myself" - there was too much to learn.In my "fight to get online" I made so many mistakes I still can't believe I didn't just "give up". But I'm too stubborn for that... and I'd learned such a lot it would be a shame to waste my experience. I’d rather pass it on to anyone willing to learn.It's easier for me online now, because over the years I have built up a network of trusted colleagues that I can turn to for help.If you're looking for help with Affiliate Marketing, check out the links in my profile.
