So today is my birthday and I am the big 32. I guess what’s weird is that after you turn 30, birthdays really don’t matter. To be honest I really don’t like birthdays anymore, because the thought of getting old really sucks.

But I suppose it is a day that happens every year and I am suppose to celebrate it. I am more excited about my daughters birthday which is the next day. That was the best birthday present I ever got 5 years ago.

Even though I am turning 32, I am still young in most people’s eyes. However in the affiliate industry, it somewhat makes me old… I love this though. Many of the other affiliates I speak with on a daily basis are all in their early 20’s. If I could go back 10 years I promise you I would be retired right now. Those of you fellow affiliate marketers that read this blog who are still in that age bracket, listen close!

You are in a position unlike most people your age. You have the opportunity to literally make a great life for yourself and build a terrific income before you even turn 30! Make it happen!

If you’re a young affiliate without a wife and kids, now is the time to bust your ass and work mad hours. Trust me, when you get to 32 (cringe) you will be a very happy person. The problem with most people in their early 20’s is that they want to get out of college and make 100K a year while doing nothing. The poker affiliate industry is different though. I see young guys working it and making more than most 50 year olds make after being in Corporate America for 30 years.

Likewise when you are younger, you can afford to take some risks. If there is ever a time in your life to take financial risks, while your young is the time to do it. Money comes and goes, but even to this day I realize that it takes money to make money. Luckily when you’re young however and have a tremendous amount of earning potential, it doesn’t really matter. All it takes is one good investment in the internet market, and a shit load of work and it can return you great money.

I am happy where I am at being 32 years old. But holy cow, I would love to get 10 years back in our industry. The younger guys reading this that are embracing the affiliate industry and learning every day are in the drivers seat. You are the ones that will be owning this industry 10 years from now.

In closing Happy Birthday To Me Bitches! I plan on not working at all today and spending time with my wife and kids before I go to Cyprus for 11 days. Actually I have something really special planned for my wife around 11:00 A.M. tonight for my birthday……I already gave her the tutorial.

On a serious note though, if you are in your early 20’s and an affiliate marketer, you are a very lucky individual. Make the most out of it and build your empire now.

Here is some quick link love to Kaus who is doing a new site about online poker as well. If you want to watch someone build a new and profitable poker affiliate site, keep an eye on this one.
