Hello Mike,

As a newbie I posted my introduction in another area not realizing that you created this thread.

I really appreciate the scope of this site. I have great experience in direct mail, local search, etc. but am only now looking into affiliate marketing and joint ventures.

I used to manage an online yellow pages but downsizing has put me on my own and I look forward to learning from your members.

After reviewing some posts, I see that there is much to learn. Glad I found you and I hope my contributions will be helpful additions to this community.
