Everywhere you look there is somebody staying at home and successfully making money online by selling products on their own website, Amazon or EBay. So how are they doing it? And how are they avoiding all the scams out there? For thousands of online marketers, the answer is simple: SaleHoo!
I’ve sold products online and know just how many scammy platforms there are out there. They want to make you believe you can get rich, but their products and suppliers are very poor quality and wind up costing you money!
I’m going to give you an in-depth review of the SaleHoo program. By the time I’m done, I think you will see the value that they offer and understand why successful people use SaleHoo!

Affiliate Titan released it’s version 3.0 in 2017 as an affiliate marketing program that is supposed to change affiliate marketing forever! So I took at look at what this platform has to offer to determine if it’s worth your money or if it’s a scam.
My Affiliate Titan review is as thorough as possible, and my intention is to help you make a well-informed decision about purchasing this program.
For a quick summary of everything I have researched, the few items that have value can basically be found on the internet for free already. The affiliate marketing system they offer is very low quality and extremely unlikely to produce anywhere near the kind of money that they want you to believe it does.
So at best I cannot recommend Affiliate Titan, and at worst I think they are trying to appeal to those people who are desperate enough to hope that they can get rich quick. I’ll detail my findings below, and you can decide for yourself!

When Jeff Bezos first started Amazon in 1995, they just sold books. But the visionary knew that he wanted the company to be “an everything store”.
Well, fast forward 23 years and his vision came true! But I think one of the most extraordinary things is the number of opportunities there are for anybody to learn how to make money with Amazon.
Can you do it? Yes! Whether you want to make it your full time job or make a little extra income, I’ll give you an overview of some of the ways how!

Welcome to Build Your Early Retirement!
MY STORY
My name is Janelle, and my husband and I live on 15 beautiful acres in the Midwest. We have raised four daughters and are Nana and Papa to five wonderful grandchildren. Add in two rambunctious German Shepherds, three cats, two demanding jobs and our life can be described as enjoyable chaos!
Like most people, we’ve tried to save what we can for the future and are hoping that when we’re ready to quit working, we’ll have enough money to enjoy our retirement and have it last for as long as we need it. We have a decent 401k and we hope to have our house paid off. But through the years, we had the same unexpected expenses that everyone faces–cars breaking down, home repairs, medical bills–and so our savings rate sometimes wound up on the back burner.
But now we’re in our early 50’s, and with our retirement looming closer, the question of whether we will have enough money saved for our retirement is right in front of us. The scary thing is this question only leads to more!
- How much money will we realistically need?
- How long will our money need to last?
- How do we account for medical bills and how much will we be paying for premiums?
- Will we have enough money to travel or for our hobbies and activities?
- What about house maintenance–new roof or siding, replacing appliances?
- Will we have enough to make major car repairs or replace our vehicle when needed?
- What about long term care as we get older?
- What if we can’t work as long as we want to or need to?
- What if we need to retire earlier than planned due to family circumstances?
Wow! All of a sudden our future became a little less certain, even though we thought we were preparing really well. So what are we going to do to ensure our financial security? 
The answer for me was to develop another income stream that I can take into retirement!
Now I didn’t want to get a second job where I’m commuting back and forth more than ever and taking more time away from my family or a job I don’t enjoy. I also didn’t want to do something that I’d have to step back from as I get older because it’s physically demanding or because it interferes with travelling.
I wanted to do something from home that I enjoy and that leaves me plenty of time for my family and the activities I’ve looked forward to in retirement. I found what fits the bill–Affiliate Marketing!
Now affiliate marketing sounded very complicated to me at first, and I had no marketing experience. But then I learned about Wealthy Affiliate, a community of people just like me whose goal is to learn how to make money by promoting products that they love.
Successful affiliate marketers choose something that they are interested in–cooking, golfing, gardening, to name just a few–and then write about it on their own website. I learned from Wealthy Affiliate that I don’t have to be a great writer or author, I just had to be able to communicate with people about something that I’m passionate about. I realized that I do that every day!
Since I learned how easy it was to start my affiliate marketing site from Wealthy Affiliate, I’ve created 6 websites, reviewed products and written blog posts about things that I love to talk about–all with the support and guidance of the Wealthy Affiliate community!
MY GOAL
My goal here at Build Your Early Retirement is to explore the different avenues that you can take to become financially stable, get out of deb, and retire when you want to! I want to encourage and guide others who, like me, need to take control of their financial security.
But more than that, I want to show them that they can do it in a way that’s fun, connects with people who share their passion, and ensures that they’ll be able to enjoy their life and their retirement to the fullest!
I want this site to be a place where my readers can go to share their ideas and experiences. If you have a hobby, an interest, even something you’d love to learn more about, feel free to share it in the comments below. You will already be on your way to creating an income stream that could secure you and your family’s future!
If you ever need a hand or have any questions, feel free to leave them below and I will be more than happy to help you out.
All the best!
