I’ve always found it encouraging to see other young entrepreneurs become successful. I don’t feel like I’m in competition with other people’s successes. Rather, seeing other people be successful gives me ideas for how I can become more successful. It motivates me to try harder. To reach for the heavens.

I have owned the domain websitehostreview.com for a few years now. Most of my time these days goes into building out affiliate websites that have the potential to earn at least $10,000 per month (mostly finance and education). I have not worked in the web hosting space yet and have decided that rather than learning this niche on my own, I am willing to train one of my readers in the fine art of running a high-profit affiliate website in exchange for his or her overall execution of the site’s development.

It’s an internship. You’ll …
