Hi all,

My name is James. I've been disabled for the last nine years and thought I would try my luck at internet marketing. This will be my first attempt to earn an income online. I looked all over the web for ideas, and yes I was tempted to buy into some of those get rich quick schemes. Then I found this place. I scoured the internet to find a bad review about Wealthy Affiliate, but much to my surprise I didn't find a single one.

I hope that my initial investment of $39.00 into Wealthy Affiliate University will lead me to understand what internet marketing is all about. If after the first month I think IM is something I can do, I will continue my membership. You know what they say though, "I can't never could do nothing". I'm not one to say I can't very often - I can and I will make this work for me!!

I am a complete newbie, but I am also full of confidence and I certainly have the drive to make an honest attempt at this. I don't expect to make a great deal of money very quickly as I am going to employ the free and budget techniques first. Even so, I KNOW without a doubt that I will earn a small income within the first few months. By income I mean a couple of sales - That should get me excited enough to stick with this. It will also boost my confidence level up a notch. :D

I have a great deal of time at my disposal to get started. I plan on diving into all the info provided here very soon. I will more than likely allow myself eight hours + per day to put into this venture. I'll be setting some long and short term goals soon, but for now I'm just gonna absorb the wealth of information available here. I want to make the most of the first month - That's my first goal (To learn all I can about Internet Marketing). Soon, I'll be applying what I learn (maybe in the next 2 - 3 weeks).

Anyway, that's me in the pic - A mid aged country boy trying to make an honest buck .... See you guys soon!!!

Hi, James. Welcome aboard! If you started writing articles already...I think you're going to do very well. I wish you all the best!

Hi James and welcome to WA. You are going to do well here and I must admit, I envy you circumstances that are going to allow you to devote 8 hrs. a day to this. I have to warn you though... with that kind of time you will be implementing before the end of the week.

Thanks for the welcome Bob. I wasn't able to put 8 hours in the last couple of days, but I did manage to read through a a few sections of the tutorials. I also wrote a mock article using the research tool provided here at WA. Soon I'll be choosing a product, and marketing for free, lol.

Take care, Bob

Welcome James I read you bio and it sounds like you have a plan of action. I have been here since the 22 of Sept. and still a have soooo much to learn. Just keep your eye on your goals, and have patients and you will achieve that which u desire.

Thank you Garrd. I'll certainly be keeping my eye on the goals I set in place (Both the long and short term). Have you happened to have read "Who Loves Money" yet? It's a great E Book. I read it last night, and it is amazing the techniques you can use for little to no money and still bring in HUGE amounts of income. I have a feeling that it will be referenced many times throughout my career as an Internet Marketer.

Thanks again, and best wishes!

James,

I wish you the best. I've been a member for a while, but life got in the way for a while. I'm back in and from what I've seen, it takes effort and it's all worth it.

Thanks for the well wishes, Dave. Yes, life has a way of "Getting in the way" sometimes. I'm lucky in that I have a great deal of time on my hands, and a steady stream of income to get me by while I learn the ropes.

I too wish you the best - I'll see you at the success part of the forum soon. ;)

Cheers,

Hi James
I joined WA this week too, so I thought I'd say hi and wish you well.

When I first got here, I read for the best part of 3 days! There sure is a lot to take on board. In the end, you have to call a halt and say, OK, let's get into ACTION!

You're right about learning, though. And this is the place to do it. I figure, if I can't make a success of IM with all the resources and folks here to tap into, I never will. Hope things start well for you.

I noticed that you are a writer. Me, I barely have a high school education, but my determination to learn new skills should make up for that. It is never too late to learn new things, right?

I honestly feel like a kid in a candy store. There is soo much to look through and learn here at Wealthy Affiliate. I've been reading for the better part of 3 hours now, and think I've only skimmed the surface.

Anyway, thank you for the encouragement and the well wishes. I wish you the same, Skybound. Good luck on your ventures in IM.
