Online Marketing....Truth or Dare!

I have been dabbling in Online Marketing off and on for almost 2 years now. Ok, truth be known, it is more like 5. I had not a clue to much on the internet, but for some reason this just caught my fancy.

I read lots of online material, even bought some real books, not just the e-books. Then, I learned a bit of HTML in order to understand what these so called Gurus were talking about.

I tried a few ideas, some worked, some didn't, well I thought they didn't until I got a notice months later that a "paycheck" was sent to my paypal account. Wow, this stuff really does work! After I checked my account, I see that I shouldn't order that flashy new car they said I'd soon have. Instead I used my "gold rush" stash and bought an ice cream!

So with all the different products and techniques, I now see that they indeed do work. But something tells me I am still missing the boat somewhere. It's as if everyone leaves out just the right ingedient to make sense out of it all.

So I have decided, I will start blogging about my journey, in the hopes that some one, some where, out there will be where I am and either offer help or support in some way. I am certain there are hundreds, if not thousands of people who are in the same boat I am, wanting to make a little extra income online to help stretch the paychecks.

And if, along the way we happen to stumble upon the "mother load" hopefully we will all see it together and feel the relief that we have finally "made" it in the Internet Marketing world!

Oh, and just so you know, I started this journey without internet or computer, going instead faithfully every day to the library to read and learn on their computers. Then after about 1 year of learning like that, we were finally able to get internet at home. It is not dsl, it must be a precursor to dial up, because it is just as slow and spotty. The only laptop it works on is a Windows XP Dell that has about 512 mb of memory. Yes, you heard me...we lovingly call it the dinosaur. So rest assured this is not a high tech world I live in, and from the looks of it, it never will be. Thankfully our local McDonald's, which is 30 miles away has free wifi that I take advantage of at least once a week.

So if you hear me talking about my "corporate office" that is where I am, 30 miles away at McD's in the corner booth with electricity.

Hang on, stay tuned, step aside...I am ready for high gear, I think, anyway. And if you are not listening to me or reading me, that's ok, I know some of you have real jobs that take up most of your life. Me, I retired from Motherhood 4 years ago, and enjoy the occasional spurts of employement when someone needs me and I feel like it.

Warmly,
Sue
