Pat Flynn lost his job as an architect in 2008 and was left scrambling to find what he was going to do next. Pat turned to internet business and published his first eBook explaining how to pass the Lead Exam (an exam for architects). Pat's sold $8000 worth of eBooks the first month and he's taken what he's learned about online marketing and taught others how to build successful online businesses. Pat is currently bringing in over $45,000 each month between his blog and niche sites. You can check out his monthly income reports by clicking here.

Testimonial to Pat!
Below is a photo from back in 2011 of me with my first affiliate check from Bluehost.com. Pat's podcasts and site taught me how to promote products on my blog. So, for everyone who clicks on the links in the post and purchases a book or service like Bluehost, I get a commission. Not a bad deal. In fact, Pat makes between $20,000-$30,000 / month just by recommending Bluehost. Think Entrepreneurship.com is hosted by Bluehost, so I use the product and believe in it.
