About Captmike

Hello. As you can see I am a boater. I have spent 30 years as a professional captain running rivers and the coast, all kinds of vessels. My current job is Head captain on the Gorge Explorer Tennessee Aquarium 55 mph hydro foil assisted catamaran. The portrait is of me at the helm. The go fast pic is the Explorer. I also deliver large yachts everywhere. The paddlewheel boat is my full time home. I love my job but it is still a job. At 57 I have decided to focus on developing a full time income from the internet. I need to be able to quit running boats for a living so I can travel my boat to live. It ain’t cheap! I have friends all up and down the river from Pittsburgh to New Orleans who need to see old Captain Mike come paddling in on the Chattanooga Star. I have cell phone service, air-card internet and sat TV. I am ready to go; the boat is ready to go. I CANT AFFORD TO GO! I am here to learn to be able to afford the decadent lifestyle I envision for my senior years. I am looking forward to inviting future affiliate friends to joining me on the river or coast when I start my golden year’s never ending cruise. I figure I need to be hitting $70k annually in order to quit the daytime job and cast off. So there, that’s my goal. Course, so far the only thing I’ve learned about the net is how to loose money, but that in itself is a beginning! I think that is about to change. Make it so!

Thank you for your kind offer. Just now gettin my feet wet, but as soon as I figure out how deep the water is and how fast it flows, I hope to contribute in a meaningful way.

Oh my, I so envy you that floating life - and could we see some pics of your house boat??? How neat....you're in the right place to get there. When hubby and I reach our goal of a very nice RV, we'll see ya' at the dock, captain!

That is so great! Any pics since you made it private? I love house boats.

I just completed my e-Book called "Who Are YOU?...And Why Does It Matter?" which deals with how the best-known types of income opp programs really work. I'm hoping to get it in the hands of those who are new to the income opp life because, like you, it was written from some pretty bad experiences with getting nowhere. Took me a while to figure out why, but here it is: http://www.spotlightproductreviews.com/waudiscount.html

Thank you, pics of my boat can be seen at Rivertrek.org, click about the Chattanooga Star, mind you these pics are before I started converting it from commercial to private. Would love to see yall on the dock!

No pics as of yet, I am living amongst the construction so to speak, but I am quite comfortable. I have 900 square feet on lower deck to play with. As spring gets here I'll do more. BTW, I really liked your blog on MLMs, brought back expensive memories,lol.

Welcome!

Hi music_mom and thanks 4 the welcome. I am a bit overwhelmed, but I'm sure things will settle in. Hmmmm... Three notes go into a bar, an Eb, a G and a C. The bartender says, "Sorry we don't serve minors." SO ... the Eb left, and the C and the G had a fifth between them.

To choose a good product to promote you gotta find one that's in a niche you know and are able to write about. If you're convinced by the product, the sales page and that not too many people are promoting it, go for it ! the gravity percentage isn't a very good indication actually.

Good luck !
Louise M. Premium
you can also google the name of the product to see if many people are promoting it ! :)

Hi Louise, Thank you for the welcome. I am sure I will need help, I am already lost and I have done nothing but read for hours. But it looks like fun actually. Again thanks for the welcome.

Yes I have read it once, I need to again. My biggest challenge seems to be picking a product from clickbank to roll with. I just can't quite grasp how to pick a product with enough omph yet not over affiliated. I'll keep readinging and playing with the keyword finder, I guess it will eventually sort it self out. But thanks for the suggestion, I definately need to begin at the beginning. Deep, huh?

THere in is the crux of the matter, it seems like everything I look at is dominated by scads of people, but I am not sure I am interpeting the numbers right, so I guess I'll just keep reading until it clicks. Thanx.
