According to the 8 week action plan, my first task of the week is to set up a profile and introduce myself to the community. So... my name is Vicky, and I'm not an alcoholic. Actually, I'm a writer (read: broke), and the stress tends to drive journalists to the bottle at some point. I'm trying to avoid that, though, by generating a better income for myself.

I hail from the great continent of Africa - living rather close to the bottom, actually. But my fair hair ensures that my skin will do little other than go pink, so it seems I'm destined to look like an albino for the rest of my life. My diet consists mainly of plant matter, hence the picture, which keeps my grocery bill to a minimum. If I can ever afford a place with a garden, I'd love to start growing my dinner.

Having spent a good chunk of my childhood in the bush, I am absolutely in love with the environment and absolutely appalled by global warming. While I love adventuring the outdoors (and have even adventured off to climb Kilimanjaro at the end of last year before the ice cap has comletely melted), I'm just as happy painting the town red with my girlfriends or curled up at home with a book or playing games (read into that what you will). Does that make me blithe and bonny? I like to think so... ;)

What I like about the concept of affiliate marketing is that it plays to some of my natural strengths - writing and designing. I'm a complete and utter n00b with NO CLUE as to what I'm doing, which is why I decided to part with some of my precious cash and join WA. I'm really excited about it. There's so much more here than I expected to find!

I've already written some affiliate articles for other people, but now it's time to start investing in myself. Ok, so the intro's done, now it's on to the sticky's. Woohoo! Let's get to it!
