A few years ago I was looking for a time freedom opportunity. I needed something I could work around contract work in the film industry. I would work sporadically and then it would come to an end. Since work was always spontaneous, and I had little notice, a 9 to 5 job was difficult to work around, so I looked to the internet for something which I could build on and work flexibly.
Initially I looked at Forex marketing, but I didn’t have the capital to invest. I later found an eBay business model detailed in this article. But it was time heavy and I wasn’t making enough from it. I remembered how I had found the eBay business. It was from the purchase of an ebook – an electrical guide which I downloaded from the internet.
This struck me as the time freedom opportunity I was looking for. A digital downloadable book would allow me to make money on autopilot if I could learn how to set up a website to sell it from.
Time Freedom Opportunity
A time freedom opportunity has to have automation in it. Most people trade time for money in a job. They are never able to escape their jobs if they always trade their time for money, since time is the limiting factor. But if you can learn how to use products instead, you can sell products online in your sleep. Since people are purchasing products online continually all over the world. A good time freedom opportunity today is the internet.
After my lightbulb moment, of discovering the ebook idea I set about creating my own ebook. I wrote an ebook about how to be a stuntman, which is what I knew about at that time (see my about me page). The main problem was I struggled getting people to find my book. So after putting myself on a marketing course, I discovered a business model which was even better. It’s a model known as affiliate marketing. With affiliate marketing you can promote and sell existing products on the internet for a share of the profit.
Products which I could use were far better than my ebook, so I abandoned the ebook idea and instead focused on affiliate marketing.
Time Freedom Opportunity – Affiliate Marketing
A time freedom business works on autopilot, selling products globally and giving you an income which grows over time. It does this by using two main strategies:
- Selling desirable products which can be accessed over the internet instantaneously (as an affiliate you don’t need to personally own these products and you can earn by referring them).
- Using automation to promote those products
Another main key to building a time freedom business is with the use of recurring income affiliate programs. With a standard affiliate product, you can earn only a “one-off” commission when you make a sale. But with memberships and software products you can earn an ongoing income from every sale you make. This compounds over time so you can eventually replace your existing income from employment. Once you do this, you’ve created a passive income from the internet and it’s hands free!

Tools Of Automation
Affiliate marketers use all kinds of automated tools. The main tools of an affiliate marketer are:
- A website – to attract an audience
- An email autoresponder – see free autoresponder for affiliate marketing.
- A marketing platform – to find targeted visitors for your website and affiliate products
Many affiliates use paid marketing platforms, although there are many other ways too. (See 22 ways to promote affiliate products).
Email List
An autoresponder is an automated email service which helps affiliates collect email addresses and automate delivery of queued up email messages. Through communicating with subscribers, and offering some kind of value, affiliates can recommend products and earn income through referrals.
All affiliates start out with zero subscribers, but once you learn how to generate subscribers, an email list can be built up to reach tens or even hundreds of thousands of subscribers. See also the power of email marketing.
With a larger list of engaged subscribers, and a good product to offer, affiliates can ultimately automate this process, giving them both time and financial freedom.
