Hi everyone!
I've been involved with the Internet since before Al Gore invented it! Seriously - since 1994.
My background is heavy in the technology end of the Internet, and I've been having fun with the marketing, 'Niche' side if things since 2004.
I'm semi-retired, and watch as my oldest son runs the Internet company I started in 1995. He's doing a great job BTW at 31 yrs old! Managing several of our datacenters and the associated network here in the Midwest.
I've been making a very nice income from my marketing efforts... until sometime last year when the economy and the single niche I worked went belly up! I looked for a 12-step program to help me through it, but none exists! (don't mind my sense of humor please!)
If you are reading this - lesson learned - don't put all of your eggs in one basket unless you really plan on scrambled eggs one day.
Since someone moved my cheese as it were, I'm diversifying and my efforts are finally making a difference. Sorry to bore you, but this is an introduction...
I have written several books, produced several online training programs, and shared more than I should... in that one niche! lol
I am constantly working on new things, and find it interesting that while things evolve, they are still the same! My status here might show as a newbie, but I've earned a steady 6 figure income (my way) through Affiliate marketing since 2005. I look forward to sharing what I know, and of course - promoting all those good things that people are actually buying.
Final note - To Mike - thanks for what you do here! I see a lot of new people with energy and a real desire to do something with their life. This interchange certainly is a catalyst!
To everyone else - JUST DO SOMETHING! It's funny how even those who make all the rookie mistakes still end up earning money when they just do it!
Thanks and hope to be a contributor here in the future...
