My journey to online marketing success didn\u2019t start with a business degree, a fancy office,\u00a0 or a six-figure bank account.<\/p>\n

It started as a waitress.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Life took me through some incredibly difficult chapters. I became a mother, raised my children,<\/p>\n

and navigated the challenges of being married to an alcoholic.<\/p>\n

There were plenty of days when simply getting through the day felt like an accomplishment.<\/p>\n

But I kept going.<\/p>\n

I eventually built a career with the largest ferry system in the world, where I worked for an incredible 36 years. During those years,
\nI dealt with rude and difficult customers, sexual harassment, and the frustration of retaliation whenever I reported things that were wrong.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t always easy.<\/p>\n

There were times I felt overlooked, discouraged, and frustrated. But those experiences taught me something incredibly valuable:
\nI’m stronger and more capable than I gave myself credit for.<\/p>\n

Then It Was Time for Something Different<\/p>\n

After my children graduated, I started thinking seriously about my future.<\/p>\n

I’d spent decades working for someone else, and I knew I wanted something of my own.<\/p>\n

I wanted freedom, and an opportunity to build something that belonged to me.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, I wanted to prove to myself that I could create a successful business on my terms.<\/p>\n

That’s when I discovered affiliate marketing.<\/p>\n

At first, I was intrigued. Then I became obsessed with learning everything I could.<\/p>\n

I followed several successful marketers who were already making their mark online. Many of those marketers are still going strong today.
\nI studied what they taught, learned from their experiences, made plenty of mistakes along the way, and kept putting one foot in front of the other.<\/p>\n

I didn’t become successful overnight.
\nThere was no magic button, and no guaranteed riches.
\nThere was simply learning, experimenting, failing, adjusting, and refusing to quit.<\/p>\n

And eventually, it started to click.<\/p>\n

Why I Created ShariLynMktg.com:<\/p>\n

My experiences have shaped the way I approach online marketing today.<\/p>\n

I know what it’s like to start with little more than a desire for something better.<\/p>\n

Know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by all the information online.<\/p>\n

I know what it’s like to wonder whether you’re actually capable of building an online business.<\/p>\n

And I know what it’s like to keep going when things don’t work the first\u2014or even the tenth\u2014time.<\/p>\n

That’s why I created ShariLynMktg.com.<\/p>\n

My goal is to share what I’ve learned about affiliate marketing, online business, digital products,
\nmarketing strategies, and creating income opportunities online.<\/p>\n

I’m not here to pretend I have some secret formula that guarantees overnight success.<\/p>\n

I’m here because I’ve been in the trenches.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned from people who were already successful, made mistakes. learned some lessons the hard way.
\nAnd I’ve continued building my own marketing success one step at a time.<\/p>\n

My Mission:<\/p>\n

I believe your past doesn’t have to determine your future.<\/p>\n

You can:
\nStart over.
\nLearn something new.
\nBuild something of your own.<\/p>\n

And you don’t have to have everything figured out before you start.<\/p>\n

If a former waitress, mom\/grandma, long-time ferry system employee, and woman who spent years dealing with some incredibly difficult
\ncircumstances can learn how to build a successful online marketing business, you can definitely learn it too.<\/p>\n

That’s the message I want to share through ShariLynMktg.com.<\/p>\n

I’m still learning. I’m still growing. And I’m still building.<\/p>\n

But now, I’m doing it for myself.<\/p>\n

And I want to help you discover what’s possible when you decide to do the same.<\/p>\n

Welcome to ShariLynMktg.com.<\/p>\n

I’m glad you’re here.<\/p>\n
