What did you do before marketing online?

Anything cool? I'm expecting to see some cool computer sciences or art studies.

I'd say there's some business owners that were struggling with agencies. Let me know!

That's a very interesting one, were you f*cked when the work went then stressing to pick up new skills?

I made decent money, so I had savings to keep me going until I figured some things out. That was the only good job around here. I wasn't about to go to McDonald's or a call center (did that once before). IM felt like my only option. I always had an interest in it, but that gave me a reason to actually do it.

I've technically done online marketing since I was teenager, starting with referral marketing around 2010 and properly getting involved in the industry in 2013 with affiliate marketing.

Before that, I used to offer repair services for computers, phones, and general electronics to make extra money. At the time, I lived in a community that had a much wealthier neighbourhood a block away from the home my parents were renting, so I built up a reputation for being able to fix electronics. At first, the kids around there would pay me $50-$100 per device just to fix their computers and phones. Then, their parents found out and would pay me the same amount to fix their electronics. I was far cheaper than the actual businesses in the area and it was very simple for me, usually taking no more than 30 minutes each device.

This ended up escalating into me performing hardware and software modifications on not just phones and PCs, but other electronics such as PSPs. Before I knew it, I was getting paid to root Android phones and jailbreak iPhones as well since those were becoming more popular at the time.

I never set up an official business entity for it, but it's how I made money before this.

Honestly nothing as I was studying engineering I got to know about adsense and data entry jobs out there but call center jobs were also quite popular during that time then the first forum I joined was digital point forum and then that other forum where we all met and the rest is history

No something else. I got songs in four different languages still fairly famous.

Minks are very cute too.

I saw a Pine Martin last year blew my mind I only saw him for like 30 seconds but so cool seeing him with my ferret.

I like that too.

I wish I got the Pine Martin on camera I keep looking in the same area for him but not seen again. I may plant mini video camera to see if can see him or others again.
