Yesterday was my 8th anniversary of being married to my amazing and beautiful wife, Amanda. We’ve been through some trying times lately (see her blog for more info on that), so I wanted to do something really special for her to celebrate the occasion. We had a wonderful dinner at the same restaurant that we went to on the night we got engaged, and we followed it up with a horse-drawn carriage ride through downtown Denver. To cap the evening off, we stayed in an amazing suite at the Hotel Monaco (which was where I asked her to marry me 8 years ago) and had Champagne with fresh strawberries for dessert.

So what does this have to do with Affiliate Marketing? Everything! Not only did I have an amazing night of relaxation and celebration with my wife, I also made enough money to pay for whole thing while I was doing it. You can’t put a price on that. It’s that type of freedom that makes this business the best one in the world, and it’s nice to get a reminder every now and then of what the rewards are for all of your hard work.
