You definitely don&#8217;t need a marketing or coding background to earn online and you can <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">start here for free<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I totally get it. You dream about earning big money online. You see others do it. And yet you&#8217;ve still got those niggling doubts in the back of your head saying things like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><em>&#8220;Do I have what it takes to do this?&#8221;<\/em><\/li><li><em>&#8220;Can affiliate marketing really work for me?&#8221;<\/em><\/li><li><em>&#8220;What if I give it my all and fail?&#8221;<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am no one special. I&#8217;m just a lad from the north of England who didn&#8217;t finish college and worked a ton of entry-level jobs for 10+ years before finally discovering <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/what-is-affiliate-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">affiliate marketing<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You name it, I&#8217;ve probably done it&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Children&#8217;s birthday party host. Call centre agent. Supermarket shelfstacker. Admin assistant. Pizza delivery boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of my coworkers became lifelong friends but working under a boss never fit right with me. What can I say, I think I have an attitude problem \ud83d\ude02 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it was more than that&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;d sit in these massive call centres chained to a headset dreaming about travelling and living in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I <em>needed<\/em> to be free from the 9 to 5 grind.
