I Left My Job, Struggled for Years, and Finally Found My Path with Organic Marketing

Hey, everyone. I wanted to share my story, not just to inspire but to remind anyone struggling that progress takes time.

I started my career with a 12-hour job in an automobile company. It was exhausting, and I knew deep down that it wasn’t for me. I decided to stick it out for five years, hoping to learn the skills I’d need to run my own business someday.

In 2018, I took the leap. I left my job and started blogging and affiliate marketing. I thought I had it all figured out, but reality hit hard. My first attempts at affiliate marketing failed miserably. Blogging helped me earn some income, but it wasn’t sustainable.

Then came the pandemic, and everything I’d built came crashing down. I was back to square one.

I felt lost, defeated, and on the brink of giving up. But something inside me wouldn’t let me quit. I started researching organic marketing, learned how to leverage free social media traffic, and finally made my first sale—just $7.

That $7 sale changed everything. It wasn’t about the money; it was about proving to myself that I could do this.

Now, after months of hard work, I’m making consistent sales without spending money on ads. It’s not seven figures, but it’s enough to keep me moving forward.

If you’re in the middle of your struggle, remember: failure is a stepping stone. Your story isn’t over yet.
