A little bit about me (to start my blog)
**My Story (in short)**
As I'm writing this, I've been in the Internet Marketing game for nearly two years. I started during my first semester at community college when I took the big leap and joined Wealthy Affiliate University, which has been one of my greatest decisions.
Growing up in the world of the Internet, I knew my way around the Internet. I could research any topic for school, I had a Facebook as soon as they allowed non-college emails to sign up, the list goes on.
It wasn't until I decided to look for alternative ways to make some money, instead of waiting tables at a Chinese restaurant that I had been working at since I was 14.
When I first joined Wealthy Affiliate, I read a few forum posts and started the then "8-Week Action Plan". Of course, school must come first, so taking the right action seemed impossible.
After spending nearly 6 months here, I still hadn't made my first dollar online. But let's get real, I didn't spend 6 months here, I was just a member for 6 months.
I hadn't done anything! Sure, I made a "website" with SiteRubix, threw some affiliate links on there, but I didn't know anything about traffic. I even thought purchasing those "hits" was a great idea. Not. I simply stuck to answer others questions on yahoo answers to get traffic.
In Spring 2009, the restaurant that I had worked at for nearly 5 years was sold and since I was close with the family who owned it, I too choose to depart. Which is when everything started to change.
Since I didn't have a consistent income anymore, I knew I had to get to work and make this Internet Marketing work. So I purchased PotPieGirl's One Week Marketing and took it very seriously. I copied exactly what they did and within a few days, I had made my first sale!
Bringing us to present day, I still continue with Internet Marketing along with having other jobs, including working at a department store.

I'm asking people about their blogs. I have had a problem since I joined with setting up their blogs. How did you set up your blog. When you joined did you just go to the blog tab on your profile page and post a comment or did you have to do something else?
Thanks for the gold Phbreez, but I don't need any cheering up. I'm doing quite well with Internet Marketing. I am just more disappointed in myself that it took my so long to get to where I'm at, when if I just took action, I'd be much further along now.
I'm giving you the gold back because I prefer people to donate gold to those who have helped them along the way.
