My Boss My Affiliate ;)

A few years back I would never have considered spending $500 on a gaming chair, however six months of crippling back pain changed all that.

Up until a year ago I had always enjoyed going to the gym and participating in team sports but that all changed when I started a new job as an insurance sales agent over a year ago. 

The job involved sitting in a dingy, cramped and extremely uncomfortable office for up to 12 hours a day. At the time, the state of the furniture in the office was appalling. 

The chair I was sitting in looked like it had been salvaged from the scrap yard and the height adjustment was broken which meant it was permanently stuck in the lowest position. 

To make matters worse, the office/dinner table I had to work from was raised so I had to spend my working days hunched over in a humped back position. 

Not surprisingly I started to experience back pain after the first month. Initially, I put it down to pulling a muscle in the gym but after a couple of weeks it was only getting worse so I went to visit a chiropractor. 

After a few sessions he was able to point out the exact stress spots and attributed the pain and discomfort to my poor seating position. 

Luckily I have a friend who is a competitive esports gamers and knows a thing or two about the best gaming chairs and he recommended this.

I remembered a conversation we had before about how professional esport gamers spend countless hours practicing and how gamers used racing style chairs as they provide the best back support. 

I decided to visit my friend for a chat and to check out his top of the range AKRacing Master chair.

The chair did not disappoint and I was blown away by its ergonomic design and the sheer comfort of it.

Sitting in the chair was an amazing experience. It was also the first time in months the back pain had subsided.

I knew there and then that I would have to buy an AKRacing Master Series Pro for the office. 

When I was making my purchase on their website, I noticed their affiliate program and had a brainwave. 

I took my new chair to the office and my boss was blown away by it. 

I suggested how the chairs would make a great bonus for the managers and how it can be written off as a company expense. 

My boss loved the idea so I forwarded him my affiliate link to make the purchase through. 

Turns out he bought 10 chairs so my affiliate fee worked out at a cool $500 meaning so I made all my money back on my original investment.

Six months later and I'm back in the gym every day and playing Sunday league football all thanks to this amazing gaming chair.
