Why I'm Working the Best Affiliate Marketing Program From SC instead of NH

So why am I working on promoting the best affiliate marketing program online today from South Carolina instead of northern New Hampshire?

Well... Because I can. Look at the pictures accompanying this post, and tell me which one looks more appealing.

Ok. It's purely a matter of preference. Maybe you LIKE the view of the 7 foot snow bank. There are a LOT of people who cannot wait for it to snow; they pray for snow all year long, they do snow dances under the full moon, they ski, they snowshoe, they ice climb, they ride snow machines... I just don't happen to be one of those people.

Perhaps it was my years working in Antarctica that sort of pushed me over the edge. Or, perhaps it was the last 20+ years in northern New Hampshire where it felt that 50% of my days were spent shoveling, chipping ice, and skidding around on slushy roads.

But, this winter here at Cherry Grove Beach had all but made me forget about those dreary days. Being able to work from home on my affiliate marketing program and other internet based opportunities has given me the option of living seasonally, which is an adventure in itself.

Then yesterday, one of my friends sent me the photo of the bottom of my driveway (see photo at top of blog post. This is a real photo. This really is my driveway.). Ok. I asked her to send me one. I was in one of those weird moods where I really had to see for myself if northern winters were really as fierce as I remembered them.

Evidently the answer is yes.

So, in case my readers are wondering if I've been exaggerating about the extent of our winters up north, here is the proof. I asked my friend to send me a photo of the house, but the bottom of the driveway was all she could get to - the house is up that hill, just under 1/10 of a mile - and she was telling me that you can't even see the house right now given all the high drifts.

So, what does this mean? We were supposed to be venturing north at the end of March.

It just isn't gonna happen. We've decided to stay through April (for now). We'll see how the snow looks then, and what life brings us. We're really enjoying South Carolina (except for the palmetto bugs), and the people are as friendly as any we've met anywhere.

But for now, I've got some serious online marketing to do, which is something I actually have time to do since I am not outside shoveling.

Have a great day! :)
