Re: First thing to do -- take 2 minutes and introduce yourself ...
Hello JVNP Community,
I think I was amongst the initial group invited when Mike launched this site but just realized I never made this post. In fact, it appears I haven't made any posts. Not sure if that's accurate but I've never feared starting over so here goes...
I'm Rob Fighter (you may not know me but have probably heard of my kids...Prize, Fire and Freedom). Ok, that's my slightly overused opening line for every live presentation I've ever done ;-)
Anyway, I hope to become a much more active member of this community. I'm someone who's been marketing online since '94 (and even long before then through BBSs/CompuServe, etc -but now I'm dating myself). I've spent the great majority of that time behind the scenes and in the shadows. One exception many of you may remember was when I took over The Free Agent Path from Mark Joyner back in'03. Unfortunately, that was a cool site and concept in many ways but it just didn't work out in the end (for me at least) and I chose to shut it down in '05.
I've been fortunate to have some great success and be be involved with a bunch of high profile stuff over the years but mostly initiatives involving the corporate world as opposed to the traditional online marketer world. Recently, I've come through some personal challenges that enabled me to see things differently and refocus on what I really want to do. As a result, I've shut down a lot of sites, sold others and kind of started all over again.
I have a number of lists in various niches and am in the process of rebuilding and integrating the lists I have in the marketing niche. Once this is complete I hope to be able to help many members here with their launches and promotions. I also have a few new products and launches of my own forthcoming and look forward to prospering with the members here who jump on board.
I've acquired a great deal of knowledge and experience over the last 20 years in sales and marketing both online and offline and I sincerely enjoying helping people. If there's something that has you stumped or you need someone to bounce ideas off of I'm always willing to help how/where/when I can. I'm approachable too so don't be shy ;-)
I look forward to meeting those of you I haven't and strengthening relationships with those I have.
