Hi,
I just joined this site, and this post looks like a good place to start.
I got into this business totally by accident, I met my now friend, mentor and partner in Spain 2 years ago. He was advertising for an assistant in an English rag over there, and I applied. I didn't know what an affiliate was or Pay Per Click and Dreamweaver was still a mystery to me as well (although I'd been doing graphics work in photoshop for a while).
I was amazed at the prospects this business showed....Wait, I can travel wherever I want...work from anywhere I want and make money without having to go to an office.....My dream come true!
Well, My boss realized quickly that I could write, design websites, network and generally be quick to learn. So he promptly threw me in at the deep end...and for a while I sank!
This all sounded so easy, but my first stab at working for myself turned out to be harder than i thought.....I was amazed that i could spend 10 hours in front of the computer...and have NOTHING to show for it at the end of the day!
Slowly, I've learned to work for myself and be productive. I am now living at a beautiful beach house in Mexico (just south of San Diego if you want to come visit us :-) and we have several products coming out in the next 6 months.
I'm excited to be part of this community and get to know everyone (Mike, if you see this, I'm the one who just sent you a note and a goofy video).
Love to hear everyone elses stories too...
Cheers,
Kacey
