No, it doesn't. Have some humility. I realize that the atmosphere here encourages arrogance, but look at all the people that make a shit load more money than you that don't act snobby or arrogant. My advice, tone it down man. $60,000 per year isn't much in this industry.
Do you know how much I make? Nope and nobody ever will, but it's a sight bit more than that. So, should I act snobby and arrogant? Not at all. I'm here to help people make more money and that kind of attitude doesn't help anyone. It's frustrating to me to get AIM messages from people: "well, I asked so-and-so and they told me to figure it out myself or read the forum, etc" That sort of elitism is bullshit. Everyone starts out with virtually nothing and has to claw their way up from the bottom. We've all lost money, but in the long run hopefully we all make some.
So, tone it down a bit. You don't have the experience or pocketbook to act like a complete ass and all you'll do is alienate people with that sort of attitude.
/edit/ and quit posting boobs with your questions. While boobs are fun (I personally LOVE them) it's unprofessional and makes it harder for people to take you seriously. Keep the boob threads for the Shooting the Shit section.
Yes 60k is not a lot in this industry. But take into consideration 2 things:
I am not even an adult, I do this on top of school work etc, and this Saturday will mark the 3 month milestone of making money online for me. I can give myself a little credit for that and that every week my profits increase from the previous, this week it may be 60k a year, next it could be 65k, but it's always going up.

Sure I don't think I'm a prodigy, I definitely think I have a pretty good future if I continue to work hard. But let me clarify something, the reason I act so arrogant, snobby, or whatever you want to call it on the blog is to make it different. There are so many blogs out there by affiliate marketers, that to me, sound the same.
It's like taking a business idea to an investor, if you have an idea that is similar to an existing business, the first question he/she is going to ask you is "what makes your business different from the rest?". There aren't a 100 successful Berkshire Enterprises or a 100 successful Microsofts. If my blog is not successful which I'm not holding my breath for, then I've wasted $5 and maybe an hour of my time QQ.
Yes I want to help people starting out too. I may act or write in a way that would not make it seem so, but again, that's just how my blog is. Why do I want to help people? Well honestly, it gives me opportunity, if people begin enjoying my blog posts and advice, then if I ever wanted to stat a network or any project that would require a network of people that trusted me, I have that. Sure helping people is a priority but it is not my main priority, I'm sorry, it isn't but I do want great content on there so people enjoy my site and come back.
And for those of your starting out, like Mike said, you really do have to work from the bottom up. Think of it like the Mafia.....
I am going to continue to write the way I do on my blog, I have not and will not write that way on WF. If people want to hear that and probably pick up some good info too, they know where to go.
note: I'm going to lay off the boob posts, sorry. But yes that one on my other thread is cute Mike. I had fun finding her.
