Becoming An Amazon Associate
So you're thinking of becoming an Amazon Associate but unsure how. Well thankfully for you I'll be able to keep this short, sweet and to the point in about six hundred or so words. I will lead with a disclaimer I am not affiliated with Amazon nor am I being endorsed to write this post, now that we got that out of the way let’s begin. The first step of course is to just begin, literally that easy. Start up your local web browser or type into your Google search bar on your phone “Amazon Associates LogIn” that’s it or you can go to https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/. Hint if you happen to use Google then your link should be your second on the list scrolling down. Secondly you will want to create an account, now no worries, if you already have an Amazon account for shopping for all your favorite people or even just yourself you can use your personal account to set up shop. After you log in and have created your profile you are already ninety percent of the way done. You will see that Amazon will let you know that you have to have at least three separate sales within a one hundred and eighty day period. I hope you are still following along because step 3 involves linking your bank account which after entering your bank info you will be set up to get paid. The final step is choosing your products and what you are able to sell, and what your commission will be on each product. As far as the items you are able to sell, well fortunately you have the entire Amazon store at your disposal, the best part is no drop shipping or sending out packages or even handling any product whatsoever. As I stated this is one hundred percent free to sign up for, free to get links and free to sell and all you have to do is copy and paste links. Now after you have signed up for the Amazon Associate you will have the option in the mobile app to share your Associate’s code or a regular code, word to the wise share your Associate’s code every time, Amazon tracks your clicks through that link as well as any items bought off of that link whether it was the item shared or not. If you are not in the mobile app and you are signed into the website via your mobile browser or web browser on your laptop or desktop, then all you have to do is search for the item you would like a code for. When you have your item picked then you will have a few different options for links. You have standard HTML links, as well as shortened versions of the same link. There are also links to work into your line of source code for all my website builders and coders. Once you have the links it’s all up to your imagination on how you would like to keep earning your money. You can share the links with family and friends or if you are even the slightest bit tech savvy, and really who isn’t nowadays then you can set up your own website or use a website builder from the many online that you can use. I advise doing your very own research to decide which option is best for you. But that’s about all there is to it folks. So in a short summary wrapping it all up, search or copy and paste the link in this piece to your web browser or typing into Google, create an account, link your bank account and share links. It's that easy folks. I hope you enjoyed my first piece in the help section, if you enjoyed this shoot me a message. I aim to do more pieces like this sharing tips and tricks to how I am able to work remotely and at my own pace doing what I love and enjoying all the time I can with my family.

Streaming Journey
Some exciting news! So as I have been writing about, I am a content creator and an up and coming streamer as well. I hope to become your friendly neighborhood streamer. I have been accepted as a content creator with an early access game I had found whilst playing Stadia, the game is called Nine to Five Make a Killing by Red Hill games. It is a first person shooter game that consists of varying operator skins, weapons, and all the jazz found in your typical FPS game. Where this one happens to stand out from the rest of the overflooded market of first person shooters is the dynamic of the game. With three teams of three on various maps, you are thrown into a random map, and if you are playing solo than with two other players. The game is more objective based and less shoot ‘em up so to speak. With the smaller team sizes it makes for interesting gameplay while 9 people all go towards a similar goal to either take out the other teams or to get to the objective. The objective of the game is you are a mercenary with your other teammates and you are extracting a usb drive. There are three rounds to each match. The first round you are setting up and gathering your information to extract the usb drive. The second round is where you and your team are battling it out while defending a cutter that is extracting your usb drive. The final round, and this is the one that really counts, is setting up your defense and waiting for you and your team to extract themselves. Now as previously stated the third round is where the action really comes together and is the one that determines the winner. Now usually in most matches in games of this nature the best two out of three usually wins. Well not here, which is a dynamic that is quite interesting, you and your team may lose the first two rounds or even win one and lose one, but if you don’t win that third round your team loses. So essentially you can lose the first two rounds, and make a comeback in the third and final round for a hail mary. As I said it makes the game a lot more interesting and I believe it has the potential to keep gamers from rage quitting because why quit when you can come back and get the competition in the third round, which can be quite satisfying. There is a variety of armor and skins for the game and with each armor comes with the choice of tacticals, field equipment, and lethals to help you pave you and your team's way to victory. I applied to become a content creator for this upcoming game as it has not been released on the market as of yet, and was accepted for the position as previously stated. The game is not yet on the market and is available on Stadia and Steam, I do have various links for a free two month trial with Stadia for anyone that follows me or my social media would like to play with me. Well I started the game with “guns blazing” so to speak and dove right in and I have enjoyed it rather well, I was unable to participate in the most recent tournament due to circumstances outside of my control and that was okay because I got to spend some time playing and honing my first person shooter skills while putting in work for the holiday event called Not So Silent Nights. I have almost completed the available challenges as some are still on a timed release. I have been having a lot of fun, creating content and talking with a team of other content creators and networking. With being a content creator I have been given access to a special Discord chat for the official news and updates. With this opportunity I am able to talk one on one with other content creators and developers of the game and we are all able to brainstorm and make suggestions for this upcoming game. As I have Steam I am a bit kicking myself in the butt for not finding it sooner and starting this sooner but I am glad I was able to come on when I have as this is early in development and more offers may be arising, and who knows maybe a career in field that I wouldn’t have seen myself in a few years back. Being a father of three and being presented this opportunity has set me closer toward becoming my goal of being more home based. I appreciate all those that do take the time to read my work and that follow me on social media. I am working on becoming home-based to be there for my kids and to show them that you can do whatever you would like to do and still make a living. I will be updating this more on a weekly basis with news and updates that are coming along in the game as well as with my journey of becoming your next favorite streamer. So until next time friends!

My Streaming Journey
Hey sorry it’s been so long since we last spoke. I know I was going to be updating this every month but the past few months have been a bit rough. But things are starting to look up, I have made so many new friends and even found a new favorite artist that we keep in touch with. So last we met my computer was down. I am right now focusing efforts on getting my streaming presence. With each new follower and supporter I am pushed closer towards my goals of becoming a twitch affiliate, and then partner, as well as monetizing my social accounts. I am a father of three and being able to make money from home and spend time with my three amazing kiddos and my amazing wife as well as doing what I enjoy is a win-win. I also am using my social media influence to spread awareness and raise donations. I hope one day I could inspire others as I have been inspired. I have also been making some new connections and have started learning a few skills to work from home. It has been a truly enlightening journey. I do very much appreciate the mystery watcher on my streams, as there is always that one person watching to which I appreciate them. I have also started a business as a travel agent and am doing a lot of self promotion. My new job does support going back to school so I will be looking into that as well. I have been a very busy bee so to speak. I do have a link to all my socials across my pages. I am also starting a mini series between twitch and YouTube where I am playing the same game with 2 different outfits. So keep an eye out as I have recently discovered an Easter egg in Jedi Fallen Order that I didn't know about. So right now my twitch schedule is Mon-Wed midnight to about 2 am or later. I also have been streaming a variety of other games as well. The list is quite plentiful. I enjoy games such as; Kingdom Hearts, Rainbow Six Siege, Destiny 2, Assassin’s Creed Vahalla, Odyssey, and Origins, Dragonball Z XenoVerse 2 and Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, to name a few. I have been playing early access on Stadia to a game called Nine to Five Make a Killing, it is quite a fun game and the players are all really joyful to play with. To be honest I have been afraid of putting my voice out there on my streams so I have either music playing in the background or I am streaming the game as a playthrough. I have also found a few affiliate programs to join. Recently I have been finding myself wanting to give back more to the community and the best way that I believe I can do that is by playing video games, I am raising money to donate to THORN and I have a personal goal to raise $2,000 for this foundation. They are a foundation that was co-founded by Ashton Kutcher, to help fight back against child trafficking as well as sex trafficking. With the trails going on in our country I want to do my best to help fight back against these monsters, and I was raised to fight back when you and how you can and I want to leave a better world for my kiddos to be in. So I am going to try my hand at ESports. I am looking forward to this journey as I get to tap into my more competitive, and friendly side while playing video games. With more games becoming cross play I am looking forward to growing my presence as well. I had one of my first party chats on one of my last streams but due to privacy I kept the mic to just us and did not record it on my live stream. But man was that quite the experience, I made so many new friends and really got pulled back into the gaming community with a few like minded people who were new to using Stadia, as Stadia has recently celebrated their one year anniversary. I will be honest, I do have to give huge recognition to Stadia for providing me with an outlet to get back into one of my favorite pastimes. Stadia has really launched my career path to being a content creator which if you had told me I was going to be doing this a couple years back I would have thought you were crazy. I have had such an incredible and positive journey and have met so many amazing people so far that I do quite look forward to my future with this. But I have found so many ways to create some extra sides of income that if to those of you reading this then you can send me a message across any of my social platforms or go visit my website and I will gladly share the knowledge I have learned.

My Streaming Journey
My first bump in the road as a streamer has been presented with a non-working computer. My MacBook that I received while attending university will not start up along with a slew of other things. I am sending it into the shop but as my wife's photography business needs a reliable computer I will be donating it to her business of Hunny-Lens photography. See Stadia had this free to play weekend with Marvel's Avengers and I was really looking forward to donning one of my favorite heroes masks and suiting up. Excelsior as our old man Stan would say, but with great power comes great responsibility and I now was tasked with the responsibility to see why my computer is not working. I was hoping to get it up and running before the weekend came so I decided to “Face front, true believers!”, as

My Streaming Journey as
Start writing..So I'm pretty new to this streaming world and I'm not what you would quite call a professional, but I do rather enjoy playing video games. And my goal as a streamer is to make time for those of us that enjoy playing some cross play games to come together and play together or just have a place to hangout. I'm judgment free and to be honest have quit the stage fright hence why once I start using my camera more I'll be behind a mask. No I'm not portraying Spider-Man or trying to infringe on any copyright. I just personally admire Spider-Man as he was always funny and used his wits to and senses to keep him ahead. My name is William Besaw and I'm not quite your average streamer but more of your Friendly Neighborhood Streamer and I'm here to share my journey, all the parts of it. If you've made it this far than I thank you, that means at least you clicked on the link that led you here. I'm a father of 3 and peacefully married. Now some dads out there go how are you finding the time to do this and be there for your family. Simply put honestly couldn't be doing it any easier than with Stadia. I wanted to be back in the gaming community but as all us gamers know it's rather costly for good gear and great games are a price range their own. But Stadia provided a cost effective way to not only enter back in and find some new and old games alike but make some new friends and start finding a little confidence again. Now I'm going to be posting some of my ideas and turning this into a blog of sorts. Well for one by just you reading this you are supporting me without paying a dime. I'm researching online markets and business strategies as I do wish to become a streamer full time and be able to show my kids that yes, you can do anything you set your mind too. I've done a few live streams so far and I haven't had many viewers but I'm not giving up yet, thankfully since I am streaming right to YouTube it is quite convenient as my live streams are saved automatically after each session. So you can go check out my page, I also enjoy making some inspirational feel good videos as well as ones to make you laugh, just check out my Tiktok. I'm looking to branch out more and grow. And if you're willing to help out all I ask is feel free to share whatever content of mine that makes you laugh or that you like. I'll keep this posted every week or so, I post a lot on my other sites so feel free to give them a check out, just follow the same link that led you here. But I stream ever Wednesday and Saturday night usually after 830 pm as the kiddos are down and I'm out of work by than. I have a Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, Discord, Twitter, Tiktok, Vocal, and YouTube. If you wish to get in touch with me just shoot me a message and let me know how you came across my site. Also feel free to shoot me any merchandise ideas that you think would be cool to do, I'm into a little bit of everything so I'm looking to sell hats and stuff of the sort, just branding myself and coming up with a logo. Well Tata for now and thank you for the time of reading this as this page pays me to write ✍😊

Hades’ Offer
Helios is the god of the sun, He has two sisters, Selene and Eos. With the coming of each new day belonging to Helios, but the night belongs to Selene. I understand now when you tell me, in a voice that muses, and sirens wish that they could have, “Helios, Selene Eos” I can feel the love permeate through every word, every molecule of air from you to me. I know that by just saying those three words that, even with how broken I am, you still somehow find the best in me. So when I told you the same thing I did not think that you would ever leave. Then you came back, how grateful I was for that moment, and again you told me “Helios, Selene, Eos” again and again I could feel what you were trying to tell me. Time and time again we went on like this, you the siren and me the dreaded sailor that always finds himself going towards the siren’s calls no matter what the rest of the crew is saying. I should learn that what you say is not true but your words trap me like a gorgon’s gaze. Unlike Perseus though I am unable to cut off your head so I don’t turn to cold stone, all I do is turn cold. No matter what I do to try and fend you off to keep you away, the gods seem to be more amused at what you do to me. I have prayed to every god for help and only one offered me help. Hades. I am tempted to take his offer for help as the other gods laugh at my requests to have all memory of you washed away from me. And now I take up Hades' offer. High atop one of the highest mountains save Mt. Olympus I take one more step and I forget that you were even in my life. I feel the wind rushing against my face as I take the final step and then I am face to face with Hades without a realization of what I have just done. For I had made the ultimate sacrifice, and that is why the other Gods all laughed at my requests to have your memory torn from my mind. Had I known the true reasoning I may have reconsidered my course of action. But I wanted all memories of you gone more than anything else in this world. So as I stood before Hades I felt every fiber in my being, swelling with rage inside that I did not know if I could control any longer. As I walked up to him to accept my fate I heard a voice in my head scream, “Now!”, and before I could make sense of what happened next I found myself holding someone’s head in my bare hands. I cannot recall what drove me to behead this being, but when I looked closer upon inspection, I saw Hades’s twisted smile. I had done it now, I thought to myself. I had beheaded the King of the Underworld and brother to the mighty Zues himself, what was my punishment to be, why had I not been struck down where I stood, what brought me to kill the King of the Underworld? These questions and many more came rushing in all at once and I had not the time nor the answers to any of them. So before I could even think, I ran. I ran far from the scene and left the beheaded corpse and dropped the bloodied head as my feet carried me until I could no longer stand. I still had the head of the King of the Dead, which by some twist of cruel fate was dead by my hand.
