My name is Sara. Since the age of 16 I have earned money through babysitting which led to full time positions as a nanny. I live in the Silicon Valley and even with such a rich job market, I made less than $24,000 a year.

In 2002 I had my son and became a stay at home mom. I loved being able to care for my own son. My marriage became rocky shortly after his birth and by the time he hit 2 years old, my husband and I separated and a year later divorced. Reality set in that I could not provide for my son on my own. I suddenly had a mortgage to take care of on my own plus all of the bills that had accrued through the divorce. I knew I could not go back to a nanny position or a preschool teacher. I had to find a career. I needed something to earn me decent money FAST!

With no other options, I returned to college with no real plan on what career path to take. Two years into school, I wound up in a dental assisting program. I enjoyed it and I had the potential to earn a bit more than a nanny position. I graduated from the program in June 2008. I began looking for a position and discovered that landing a good position was going to be a difficult task and that I shouldn’t rush into just any position that was thrown at me.

Since I had a lot of “free time” on my hands, I decided to try out Internet Marketing. I entered the world of internet marketing in late September 2008. With no real Internet marketing background or even just basic knowledge, I was hungry for a program that would take my hand and walk me through it.

It was no accident that I discovered Amy’s The Niche Blogger. Her program sounded ideal for me and I respected her more because she built her empire while raising a family full time. When I read about her success on her main website, I knew I could do it too!

Come watch me succeed with my goal to earn $5k a month with my internet business.
