Hello Wealthy Affiliates,
My name is Tom. I live in Hernando City, Florida. It%u2019s just a speck on the map (but it is a nice speck).
I brokered mortgages for a number or years, and got out just as the real estate market slowed down. Now while my former co-workers volunteer as realtors and loan officers I market on the internet.
IM is great because my time is much more my own. I work when and where I want, and do not have to deal with clients, underwriters, appraisers, ect.
While I am not a superstar yet, I WILL be (remember, you read it here first!)
Currently, I am doing article marketing and posting to forums. I%u2019m gaining momentum, getting opt-ins, and grabbing the occasional sale. The posts in the General Success Forum are inspiring. I will be posting mine no matter how incremental as I celebrate success!
By the way, the white parrot on my shoulder is Rocky. He%u2019s a nice guy and a very clever bird. The green one is Gracie. She belongs to my wife, Cindy. Gracie can be a Bit*h!

Hi TJ, I love birds...they really are amazing, funny and clever (even if they're not parrots! lol). It's funny...I think that about all animals in general. But birds are just so much fun to watch. What film school is your daughter going to? I went to The School of the Art Institute in Chicago, and the Academy of Art University in San Francisco...quite an expensive track of study! At least she'll have you to thank with your truckloads of internet sales : ) Cheers, Sandra.

Hey Tom,
How you doing? I love all the confidence on the Profile. I'm up for starting with Article Marketing, but I'm not out of the traps yet. I'll keep you posted as and when. I did write an article yesterday, that I'm going to post on Associated Content once I've got the SEO right. I didn't realise I had to do that!!! Some kind lady on the site gave me some advice. Keep up the good work, and I'll see you on the stage of fame!

Thanks, TJ. I love our cockatoo. My son had a cockatiel and went to Peru for a couple of years. The bird knew a zillion songs but went dead silent when my son left. When my son came home, the bird heard his voice upstairs and sang all of the song to him when he came down to see the criter. Yes, I missed the boat on article writing. But now I am finally getting URL hits. So, we are both glad. John

Hey Buddies,
It%u2019s Sunday, and it%u2019s killing%u2019 me to take the day off. Yesterday I wrote and uploaded two articles and did up a little auto-responder content for next week. Then it was off to Pasco County for a little family reunion. It was actually a very good time.
So today, no work. The Bible commands us to take a day off. We trust God with our lives%u2026 Trust him with a day of our time too. God wants us to be well rested. Very cool, just not always easy.
So today; slept in a bit, church this morning then out to lunch with the family. This afternoon Cindy (my wife) and I are going to this jazz concert. We%u2019ve ordered the kids to cook our dinner tonight, and then tonight we%u2019ll meet with some friends for a couple of hours. Then I%u2019m gonna read for a while and goto ZZZZZ.
It%u2019s gonna be a rich full day without and IM.
Enjoy a day of rest!

Hi Clive,
Very Cool. I%u2019ll be looking forward to hearing from you.
I was studying in the forum and read a couple of your posts. I like your idea of welcoming one new member every day. I am going to do the same.
Also, you asked if Bum Marketing was a good way to get started. Yes, Yes and Thrice YES! It%u2019s the perfect strategy for a beginner, in fact I use it every day. You can have your page ranked in the top 10 on Google in about 2 weeks if you do it right.
One advantage WA members have over other Bums, is the KW research tool. You can put together an awesome KW list in about 15 minutes with no guesswork!
See ya,

Hi Tom
Re Squidoo. You have to be a member of squidoo to rate a lens. Anyway at the top the the page there are stars and you just click on the number of stars you want to rate it. In some lens there is a guestbook where you can leave a comment, you have to scroll down the page to find it. You also get publicity for your own lens that way (if you have made one). If you not a member of squidoo yet, dont worry about rating mine etc, the kind thought was there and that is enough.

Hi Tom
Thanks so much for rating my lenses. I know they are a bit short but I'm still tweaking and learning. I look forward to rating your lens too! I love the new parrot pic! Im not much on indoor birds but my garden where I live is full of wild birds which is lovely, especially as I used to live in London before (concrete jungle lol).
Best wishes

Hey Maz,
I say the request in your sig box in the forum to review your Squidoo lens. You may not remember, but a couple of weeks ago, I wrote and asked you how to rate a lens. You explained that you have to sign up with Squidoo to leave blurbs. Well I finally signed up last PM, and rated your lens. I'll be creating my first lens today!
Just wanted t say that your lens is really good. It is shorter then many which is cool. I'm not inundated with articles. Plus it loads quicker then many. Very Nice!

See Ya!
