Ok, so while the title is true…its not as good as it sounds. I finally got around to registering as self employed at the back end of last week. There was a couple of reasons for this. Despite the fact I have been earning money from affiliate marketing for nearly 6 months (only a decent amount for the last 2 though), I havent actually had any of the money. Its all been sitting in the networks accounts and thats were (most of) it is staying!
However last week I received a check from my Amazon US account which I had made some money through before Christmas so I need to cash that, and I also took my first step into domaining. I snapped up a dropped domain for the usual price of £7.03 from 123-reg (minus quidco of course 
) and within 5 hours had sold the domain for £150!
I figured now I had random 3 figure payments coming into my bank I best let Her Majesty now so she can take her perfectly reasonable slice of my hard earnt money (dont get me started on tax!). So I am now officially a self employed affiliate marketer! The negative side is that its only part time and not full time 
The other reason I hadn’t registered as a self employed affiliate before was that I wasnt sure if I would make any money from it, or if I would stick at it. Registering myself as a self employed affiliate has kind of set a new mindset for me. Im not “playing around” with this anymore, its a serious, sustainable income!
Also, this week I have had my best day/week ever which I think will lead to my best month ever But I’ll post about that separately.

Ah! For a moment there I was thinking you’d crossed over! Was gonna start pinging you emails along the lines how the heck did you do that so quickly?!
I guess though, for the moment, you’re still an average 9-5er like me but it definitely sounds like things are moving in the right direction for you!
Would it be too much to ask exactly how much you’re earning from AM? It’s nice to hear from people around about the same experience level to see how they’re doing and then take on fresh ideas and share with them.
Haha, I wish! Matter of fact, I wish it was even 9-5, I work 8-5 with 30 minute lunch, 42.5 hour weeks with 5 hours of travelling on top of that!
I’ll send you an email about the rest.
