In 1850, when she was only 17 years old, my great grandmother, Mathilda, arrived in California with her three older brothers and her parents, who were among the hundreds of thousands of Americans and foreigners who traveled to the Western state in hope of striking gold.

The story that was passed through generations in my family insists that Mathilda, without any help, found one of the richest gold fields in Sierra Nevada. There is another story about her scandalous love affair with a handsome yet married man, who subsequently fathered my great grandfather. But we’ll talk about that some other time.

As you can probably imagine, Mathilda was a remarkable woman. The enormous wealth she had acquired in 1852 in California was totally lost by her grandson, my grandfather, in 1929 in New York, when the stock market crashed. Fortunately, she died in 1920 and was spared the heartbreak.

“What in the world is he talking about?” I can hear you asking yourself right now, “What does that have to do with affiliate marketing?” Be patient, my friend. You’ll know in a minute.

An estimated 300,000 people, man, women and children, went to California in the middle of the 19th century, in search of fortunes. Only few of them discovered gold and became rich. Those were the ones who did not miss on the opportunity when it presented itself to them; then, they were blessed with the guts to take chances on the road to realize their dreams; and finally, they acquired the knowledge and the tools to achieve their goal. My great grandmother, Mathilda, was amongst them. She left us a great legacy: “He who dares - conquers.”




This, my friend, is it. Internet affiliate marketing is the Gold Rush of the 21st century. Don’t miss your chance to be one of the few. Seize the opportunity now, before it’s too late. If you want to realize your hope to find gold, have courage, get the knowledge and the tools, and go after it!

The Internet, although already so advanced and overwhelming, is still in its diapers. It is as California was in the middle of the 19th century, full of hidden gold. Only now, instead of a pan and a shovel and hard physical work, you can sit at home in front of your computer. Only the gold is the same precious gold. Anybody can do it, you too.

Grab it today. If you don’t, you’ll wake up 5 or 10 years from now, only to realize that the train has left the station. Don’t ever forget my great grandmother Mathilda: “She who dares - conquers.”
