Work From Home Jobs – Former
Waitress And Judo Pro Becomes Champion Of Her Own
Destiny
By James Martell
GotDot.com profiles Rene Tse a former waitress
and Judo tournament champion who hit bottom and
climbed her way back to the top achieving financial
independence and glory.
At the tender age of 17 Rene went to Japan and
trained with world champions defeating a 28 year old
Canadian eight time Black Belt champion. While
getting flipped in the sport of Judo, Rene learned a
valuable lesson that’s really come in handy in her
career. If something doesn’t work, don’t feel
defeated, just try again and get back on your feet.
Her career has spanned stints in insurance
working for Altamira and as a bilingual customer
service representative for various firms. When she
got locked out of the job market in Vancouver Rene
worked as a waitress handling banquets and delis,
this was in her words, “hitting the bottom”. At
times she was so broke she barely had enough tip
money to pay for laundry. With the threat of
becoming homeless looming over her shoulders Rene
looked for a way out, wanting not just a job, but
financial freedom. As Rene says, “Just because you
get flipped, it’s no reason to stay on the ground.”
Rene explored various work from home jobs and
learned about James Martell, an entrepreneur, and
successful affiliate marketer with over 70 specialty
shopping sites, and the author of the
James Martell’s Affiliate Marketers Handbook.
She attended James Martell’s master mind class in
Vancouver, which focused on how to do something that
you really enjoy and turn that passion into a money
making opportunity. The class opened the doors to a
whole new way of life and career with affiliate
marketing. Rene says, “It’s the most amazing thing
in my life. I felt practically homeless at one point,
now the income just blows my mind.”
Anyone can make a success with affiliate
marketing. Listen to Rene’s story and you’ll learn
how.
What is affiliate marketing?
By now most people have heard all about the
success of
Amazon.com. What they may not know is that
Amazon spawned an Internet industry in 1996, by
allowing independent website owners to earn
commissions by referring paying customers to them.
This is known as pay-for-performance-advertising or
affiliate programs.
With affiliate marketing it’s important to
remember, that there are three primary roles
consisting of the merchant, the affiliate (publisher)
and the third party (Commission Junction). The
merchants (advertisers) pay a commission on sales
generated by customers, which the affiliate (publisher)
sends to their sites. Commission Junction (third
party) pays affiliates on behalf of the merchants
and provides a tracking system. The merchant handles
all order processing, shipping, and customer service.
On average merchants pay commissions of 7-10%.
Here’s an example of the money making potential, let’s
say: you have three web sites with a 100 visitors a
day and a 1% conversion (equivalent to 3 conversions
a day), that’s equal to $110 U.S. per day ($30 cell
+ $50 satellite + $30 credit card). By the end of
the month that’s a return of $3300.

merchants offering affiliate programs.
Got Dot: How did you begin Affiliate
Marketing?
Rene likens starting affiliate marketing to
preparing for a Judo tournament. To get in shape
Rene closely followed the teachings of James Martell.
Rene says, “The advantage of proven-training is that
you can rest assured that if you follow the system,
you will see results.” Rene adds, “James keeps us
abreast of developments in the industry through the
Affiliate Buzz, an audio newsletter for
affiliate marketers, which he hosts. Plus, the
energy of James Martell is so inspirational, it’s a
real big emotional boost.”
Got Dot: What is it like getting started?
In Judo Rene used to do an exercise involving
upwards of a 100 throws a day. Her commitment never
wavered. The exercise had to get done. The same
drive and precision Rene’s applied to affiliate
marketing.
Throughout most of 2002 Rene worked 12-16 hour
days. Now she’s working four hour days and the
revenue stream is accelerating. Rene says, “In four
hours I work as hard as I used to in twelve hours.
“Now, I look into ways to increase my
productivity and automate the processes. For example:
When I’m building a new site I look at ways to
automate the keyword searches, so I can just crank
out the content driven articles.”
Keywords as explained in James Martell’s
Affiliate Marketers Handbook are the search engine
building blocks. Marketing on the Internet is all
about placement and being seen. To be successful you
need the keywords people use for queries on the
search engines, that’s how your web site will be
found.
Rene follows the same methods for web site
construction developed by James Martell. These
principals are incorporated into Rene’s successful
series of specialty shopping sites on topics such
as:
home mortgages,
credit cards and
cellulars.
In the midst of construction for a new site Rene
says, “I’m like a baby looking at it through fresh
eyes. I want to make the review articles really
human, let the consumers know about the great
alternatives, instead of just selling them.”
Got Dot: What kind of financial goals did you
set?
The first goal was financial independence, saying
goodbye to uncertainty about the future. After
achieving that Rene set her sights on earning
$10,000/month, which she obtained within 8-9 months.
For the next six months Rene wants to consistently
bring in $20-30/k month, building one site a month.
Rene says, “The money’s incredible. The sites are
generating a 400% increase in revenue per month.”
Got Dot: With work from home jobs, everyone
talks about independence are there some other joys
you’ve discovered?
Rene says, “The
residual income stream
keeps coming in whether I’m in front of the computer
or swimming, or going out to dinner. There’s a real
sense of satisfaction when you see that you’ve built
a money making machine. It’s like having a black box
in your basement that’s printing money and every
time you want to buy a dress or go out to dinner,
you put money in your wallet.”
Got Dot: What would you tell someone
considering affiliate marketing?
What Rene mentions may sound drastic, but it’s
rooted in sound logic. Consider becoming homeless
for a day, driving in a traffic jam, looking at
starving people barely surviving, or getting a boss
from hell. Then ask yourself is that what you want
out of life? When the answer’s no and you hit bottom,
the only place left is to climb to the top.
Being in affiliate marketing is like Judo, you
need to train hard, get in shape, and never waiver.
Stay determined, keep your focus, and if you hit the
ground get back up and keep running.
Rene says, “The best thing about affiliate
marketing is there’s no boss breathing down my neck
and the income keeps on growing. And the glory’s
there, when I’m on top of the search engines, I’m
the tournament champion.”
