So, after 6 months here on WA I thought it was time we share our story with you all as really, my friend and I are just normal high school students who wanted to earn an extra buck, but now we couldn’t be happier with our achievements and on-going success.

It wasn’t the easiest 6 months but thanks to WA, and pushing ourselves, my friend and I have really made progress in this Internet marketing world and have decided to take it to the next step.

I will start off by giving you all a little background on us and our story.

We stumbled upon the idea of affiliate marketing, PPC and WA all of 6 months ago, we were both looking for ways to earn extra cash, with the expenses of trying to live a social life, buy nice clothes, ipods and stuff, we had to do this our self, we didn’t have the rich parents to do it for us, and trying to juggle a job at McDonald’s, our final years of high school work loads, as well as family and social life, there were just not enough hours in the week to make the money needed for the lifestyle we dreamed of.

So after finding out about Internet Marketing and reading up a little, we were both agreeing that this was a sure fire way to get that cash we needed, and possibly pay for our University costs to say goodbye to the feared government debt.

Even though our goals at the beginning were a measly $50 a week, but when we started seeing $2000+ weeks we were speechless, we couldn’t believe that just after 6 months, we were now making over $8000 a month, more then enough for anything us high school boys wanted, but most of all giving us the options to quit our jobs, and no longer have to work for “the man”, we could work when we wanted, and how we wanted, this is the way life was meant to be, and in result allowed us to put more effort into our schooling.

So in short, our goal of $50 a week, ended up becoming $50 a day, and now after this whole 6 months is $500 a day, we are NOW making MORE then our PARENTS, the feeling of how proud they are is irreplaceable, and after all this time and effort, we now want to help others to get the success we are receiving, EVERYONE deserves this, so it has now become our goal to help the WA community out.

Us boys, are now working on OUR own guide of how we have created our success, a beginners guide to PPC, and IM with the steps, ideas, and knowledge needed to start achieving the success we are.

We are just kids, and in a short time of 6 months look at what we have been able to achieve, if you are losing hope in IM, look at our success, look at others success!

It can happen, and if you continue to put the time and effort in , it WILL happen.

Thanks guys! Its overwhelming the response!

We never knew 6 months ago, ever 3 months ago that we would be in this position.

Being in control of your financial future at only age 17 is the best feeling, the smile on my Dad’s face is priceless and I know my Mum would be so proud of me as well, both of us haven’t exactly had the best start to life, but at the end of a war there is always peace.

You are in control of your future, chase your dreams and never let them go.

We want everyone to have success in 09, and it is possible.

Once again guys do not be afraid to ask questions, we asked at the start and look at where we are today.

Thanks again guys, this truly is a special community.

Josh and Jax
