Some time ago, I wrote about Steve Rowland raising about $2,300 through affiliate marketing as an article writer.
Well, now we have another Warrior trying to do just that! I am definitely going to keep track of John’s progress, and you can do the same at his Blood and Guts Marketing blog.
He’s got 67 articles written so far and is aiming for 200 articles and $2,500 in cash by the end of the month.
Also, I’d like to take this opportunity to make a quick comment on the post on John’s blog:
The slacking off I’ve done in the past and the soul-sucking experience of completing a four-year degree at a private university had nearly managed to brainwash me into thinking that I would have to spend the rest of my life sitting in a cubicle, slaving away for an overbearing boss.
Hear, hear - as someone struggling with a remarkably demanding professor myself, never have I seen truer words uttered. Sadly, formal university education often prepares us to become excellent, efficient, superior, flawless… management drones. We are trained to work and thrive in an established organization. But hardly any professor out there teaches you to create an organization of your own.

“But hardly any professor out there teaches you to create an organization of your own.” - some MBA programs do.

Yes, true, but you have to agree that they’re the exception rather than the rule. In general, it seems that most of the stuff you learn as part of your business degree is really not the sort of information that will ever make you rich.
Truth be told, in terms of increasing my money-making potential, I think I have learned a lot more from hanging around at the Warrior Forum than from attending classes - and I don’t think I’m the only one.

Agreed. The general line of all major management techniques aims creating simply manipulated staff who will fully depend on management and simply do the assigned job well.
