Wow, I must say it is darn intimidating posting on a site with so many big players in Internet Marketing. This section is about telling a little about myself, so here goes. My day job is as a director of rehabilitation in southern New Hampshire. I manage 12 staff members who are all physical, occupational, or speech therapists. I started learning about internet marketing in november 2004, purely by accident when I was browsing the internet and stumbled into Mark Hendrick's "12 Days of Christmas" promotion. I did not get brave to attempt internet marketing until I spent $1000s learning and asking questions of the product owners who I purchased products from. Finally, Jim Sheridan's "Instant Internet Income" dvd gave me the courage to finally get off my butt and start creating something. I researched like he told me to and found a niche that I know something about...low back pain. Considering that i have a graduate degree in rehabilitation (occupational therapy) and that my staff and I treat a lot of people with back pain, I figured I should write my first book on that topic. I am presently in the "how the heck do I recruit distribution partners" phase of the product, but hope to actually launch the product in a few weeks. I am looking forward to learning all that I can about joint venture marketing and becoming successful in this tricky business. Thanks for being so welcoming.
