I'm Working A$$ Backwords!
Who would have ever thought, almost one year ago I joined WA, what a journey. I'm not one to say much, I like to sit in the shadows, listen and learn.
When I first joined WA I was clueless, Literally! I was laid off from a $3000 a week construction job as a Mechanical and Piping Quality Control Inspector in our major US Refineries like Dow, Exxon, etc due to hurricane season. Now, I know how to build major websites, blogs customize my wordpress themes. Not bad for an old bat.
I kind of did what PotPieGirl said, I simply told my husband that I was going to make money online. My inlaws thought I had flew the coop. :( Not any more! :)
I've made good money selling domain names on eBay and building sites for clients who do not wish to park their domains. Currently, I am working on a new site at businessdomainnames.info
Now, if I ever stop building, maybe I can start marketing. I hate writing though. I will build a site and look at it. Then build another. Everything looks good, no content. Sad, but true.
I thought we were supposed to learn marketing and then building. Oops. Like I said, got mine A$$ Backwards. Pays good though.
Anyway, I am thrilled to be a part of WA. I could not have made this progress without being here. Even though I speak little, I have absorbed the information like a sponge. (No wonder Sponge Bob Square Pants is my favorite cartoon)
My lessons started with PotPieGirls "One Week Marketing" and then ANC "Affiliate Niche Club" they started me on the customization of a wordpress theme and my little brain just took over from there. That is where I found my thriving passion. Building! Aahh, back into construction again. Lol
So, to everyone here at WA who contributes pieces of information rather it be in the forum, on your blogs or what have you, thank-you. It has made all the difference in the world to me.

Wow sounds like you had an amazing performance in that first year! :D
Ever wonderered how the next year to come will be? ;)
Keep up with the good work!
Welcome to WA from a fellow ass-backwarder! I've always run my own Web site, and I'm a WordPress veteran who has built two themes from scratch. Also, I have extensive writing and editing experience. So I thought that learning IM would be a cakewalk--the joke's on me, LOL! So I'll always try to help if I come across someone with a question about HTML or FTP. Since I'm always wondering about SEO and backlinking, that's the least I can do!
I'm impressed. Do you know Dreamweaver? I want to learn it. I'm not at all techy, but I am brave once in awhile. Building sites for people. That's great!
Really puts IM in perspective.
