Welcome to Saygoodbyetoyourboss.com, I am Mike, the creator of this site.
Who Am I ?
My Hobbies, Passions And Background
I have lived my whole life in British Columbia Canada. I am retired from a career in retail where I was in charge of making meat departments profitable while working for a large grocery chain. At the time of this post I am 60 years young, married, with three beautiful children and two amazing grandchildren. I have basic grade twelve. I type with one finger and my spelling is atrocious. I talk and write using slang, but guess what? I still make lots of money online, so don’t get bummed out if you feel affiliate marketing is technically over your head, it’s not!!!
I love fishing, hiking, pretty well all sports especially soccer. My plan is to take in as many venues as I can when the Fifa world cup comes to North American in 2026. I recently bought a new boat and I am looking forward to the new season coming up. My wife and I love to explore the coast around where we live on the B.C coast. My wife and I also love travelling extensively which affiliate marketing allows us to do in comfort.
How I Got My Start In Affiliate Marketing
I will be quite honest and say that the grocery business at my level anyways, wasn’t the most lucrative career. I was constantly looking for other ways to supplement my income. I was blessed to have a person come into my life that was making a really impressive income working online and he took me under his wing and showed me the ropes, I have never looked back since that time.
I started affiliate marketing way back in 2010 with a website I had created called avoidonlinemarketingscams.com, within a year I was making a pretty nice recurring income, from that point my online business and presence kept growing.
There have been considerable changes to how affiliate marketing is done now in comparison to how it was done in 2010. I am mentioning this because it gives you an example of how resilient affiliate marketing is as a revenue generating opportunity.
How I Make Money Online
I am an Affiliate Marketer, don’t let the handle throw you off, what I do online is quite simple once you get through the learning curve that comes with learning something new. Let me remind you, for 40 years I was a meat cutter, I looked at computers as if they were an alien species. Working on computers was the furthest thing from what I had imagined would be my best job ever!! I had zero experience online, I literally didn’t know how to send an email when I bought my first laptop to break into affiliate marketing.
What I Promote Online As An Affiliate
I promote almost anything that I feel I can make a buck off of. I promote affiliate marketing training programs, affiliate marketing tools, books. I have promoted urban chicken products needed to raise your own roof top chickens, vintage fishing lures, irrigation supplies and weight loss products just to name a few. Every niche I have made income in. Every niche that I have worked in is essentially a carbon copy of other niche sites I have created, basically it’s just a rinse and repeat type of process. Once you have an understanding of how to generate income in any given niche you can quickly duplicate that process for any niche you like.
Skills I have Learned Over The Years
Here are a list of accomplishments I have under my belt to date….
- Content marketing
- email marketing
- website creation
- Pay per click marketing
- Guest writing for blogs
- Just getting my feet wet in the Youtube arena
I created this site to obviously make money but also to pay my knowledge forward as you will see by all the informative info that you will find on this site. Don’t be afraid to ask me any questions that you may have. If it wasn’t for my friend taking the time to lend me a hand when I needed one I probably wouldn’t have been so successful online as I am, I am willing and able to pay that knowledge forward. I hope you enjoy saygoodbyetoyourboss.com, please leave me your thoughts on any article or piece of training on this site and I promise I will get back to you in short order, cheers Mike.
