Hey there, my real world name is Marc and I live in Wiesbaden, Germany, with my wonderful wife, two children and our dog:-)
For earning a living I work as a audio engineer at several radio and tv stations and a post production studio in the Frankfurt area.
I'm a music lover (especially funk, disco and all the styles that derived from that) and like to get inspired by, well, about anything that broadens my perspective on life or certain aspects of it. And that inspiration can come from literally anything (Playing with my children, a walk in nature, a good meal, a situation in the streets, a good football (soccer) match...)
To have more control over my time and income, I would love to set up an online business. I had already one try with on online music label which I set up with friends, but as we had absolutely no clue about marketing (I think we didn't even know the word marketing) we never got in the positive.
This time I want to do it differently. That's why I'm here.

Oh, I know what you're talking about. It's soooo easy to get sidetracked. I haven't been very active here at WA the last weeks. And though my website grows and gets more successful in little steps, my ranking here at WA is on a constant down curve...lol!
Good luck and looooots of success this time:-)
Marc:-)
P.S.: Stick with it. It's really worth it. The feeling of growing traffic and growing commissions, once things start to fall into place, is just WOW! It's like planting a tree, taking care of it and being rewarded with sweet fruit once the tree is tall enough. And you know as the tree grows there is more fruit to harvest next time:-)

Reading your bio as I am listening to Defjay.de. The sound quality of Defjay.de is second to none. I don't put music into my phone any more because Defjay is always there, much better. Thank you, Marc. It sounds you have a lot of fun. And I hope joining WA will make it even funnier. It’s so interesting having you in the network. See you soon. Noah.

You seem to be really, really passionate about Defjay. That's good! Just stay with them.
I honestly don't know too many internet radio stations. Maybe I should get deeper into it. If I listen to music online it's mostly soundcloud and mixcloud.
Stay passionate and have fun!
P.S.: How did you dicover defjay, as it's a german station?

Hallo Beate, was hat Dich nach Kapstadt verschlagen? Muss ja sehr schön sein dort. Ein Bekannter von mir hat dort eine Surfschule (also Wellenreitschule), ich war aber selbst noch nicht da. Die Flüge für 4 waren bis jetzt nicht in unserem Budget.
Ist bei Euch jetzt Frühling? Hier wird's gerade kalt und nass.
Danke für das Englisch-Kompliment:-) Ich bin halb deutsch, halb Franzose und habe Englisch in der 12. Klasse abgegeben. Irgendwann habe ich angefangen viel auf englisch zu lesen, im Internet und Audio-Magazine, jetzt auch Marketing-Material. Anscheinend trägt das Früchte. Ich fühle mich allerdings nie so richtig sicher, wenn ich englisch schreibe.
Grüße aus dem nassen Frankfurt (hier arbeite ich meistens) ins sonnige (?) Kapstadt

Ich bin seit meinem 7,5 ten Jahr in Suedafrika, bin in Johannesburg aufgewachsen, hatte 5 Jahre lang Heimweh und bin jetzt schon lange richtig eingegliedert. Wir sprechen zu Hause Deutsch und bei der Arbeit spreche ich Englisch und .Afrikaans. Ich hatte 5 Jahre Franzoesisch auf der Schule, und habe es ein bisschen aufgefrischt, bevor ich mich WAU angeschlossen habe..
Hier ist es Fruehling und die Blumen bluehen, obwohl es bis vor kurzem noch recht kalt war.Schoen, euch auf diese Weise kennnenzulernen!
Ich habe uebrigens eine Schulfreundin in Eschborn und hier ist es teilweise noch recht bewoelkt!

Dann bist Du ja schon wirklich lange in Südafrika. Das heisst, Du hast die ganzen Umwälzungen im Land miterlebt. Oder vielmehr: Du erlebst sie noch mit, denn sie finden ja vermutlich nach wie vor statt. So wie die deutsche Wiedervereinigung ja auch irgendwie immer noch nicht wirklich abgeschlossen ist.
Ist Deine Freundin aus Eschborn noch eine Schulfreundin aus Deutschland oder aus Südafrika?

Ja, ich habe alle Umwaelzungen mitgemact, sogar die Wiedervereinigung war fuer mich ein wahres Wunder, weil meine Mutter aus der ehemaligen Ostzone ist und wir viele Verwandten dort haben. Ich war als Kind in der Ostzone auf Besuch.

Ansonsten einfach noch mal googlen, wie man Umlaute mit einer englischen Tastatur hinbekommt.

Greetings Marc... with music, it is all about audio/visual presentation (keywords, Content and product... for IM). Music is not easy... The website must bring the unknown artist to life... people have to hear samples, see videos, feel like they know you... I will not go into it all here except to say it can be done... and perhaps your second time around will do just that... I think you have come to the right place to learn how to make it happen... there are several members here who are musicians that are doing the same.
Thank You for following me and I look forward to seeing you create something great in the coming months. Julie

Thanks for your advice, Julie! Really appreciate it.
My biggest challenge right now is to use the little time that is left besides my day job and family as useful, effective and wise as I can. It's hard for me not to lose track, when I have only a few hours a week to work on my site. But I keep sticking to it as good as I can.
After all, it's time for me to build some assets. To move from working for income to working on my assets.
Hope everything is working fine for you in IM:-)

I earned my living as a printed textile designer for many years. No, it was never easy, but I made an excellent living. Now I want to just paint, art for art's sake. That's why I turned to the Internet. I've been experimenting with different business models. I think I found the one that suits my personality and skills. I suspect you also require a very creative approach. WA teaches so much that you can use creatively to do whatever you like both online and offline.

Theoretisch beschäftige ich mich tatsächlich auch seit ca. 2 Jahren mit IM, wusste aber nie so richtig, wie ich das mit meinen Interessen und meiner Berufserfahrung in Verbindung bringen kann. Ich hatte einen Haufen loser Infos aber keine Anwendung.
So langsam fügen sich die Puzzleteile zusammen. WA hat mir da noch mal einen guten Schub gegeben und (sehr wichtig) einen roten Faden.
Bist Du in einer bestimmten Branche/Nische tätig oder schaust Du noch?
Reine Neugier:-)
Liebe Grüße und viel Spaß und Erfolg hier:-)

I am doing just the first name analysis, because that is my blog that I am writing about. If you want the analysis of your full name I will need your surname, but that is already practicing numerology and is really going out of the frames of this WA community and . I shall analyse the name Marc and if you want a personal touch- I can do your pen name as well.

Hi Marc.
Just read you post about your first commission. Sounds interesting and I have a bit of an idea how that feeling must be. Even though I am far away from that point I guess.
I am from Cologne (so.. kind of close considering where people are from on this site), just signed up yesterday and I thought it might be a good idea to follow your path from this point a bit.
Looking forward to finding out a bit of your story on here.
Cheers

Hi Bob,
welcome to WA and thanks for the follow. Wir könnten uns auch auf deutsch schreiben, but this wouldn't be fair for other users;-) So back to english.
You may not be as far from your first commission as you think! On monday morning I still thought it would take another few weeks to get me to this point. But I already got there without knowing it at that time.
When you follow the organized approach of the certification courses here at WA step by step, ask for help when you get stuck and use the other resources like the WAbinars, you (and I) will make some sales.
After all affiliate marketing is not rocket science. All you have to do is learn, work and keep on track (the last one being the hardest for me).
All the best to your success!
Marc:-)

Hello Marc! Welcome to the group. I am pretty new here myself so I don't know all the answers, but I'm studying and learning new things every day.
I love music as well (except Opera) and my friends and students are amazed at the mix of songs I have on the iPod. Nature is amazing and we should be learning more from it, most people just don't pay close enough attention to hear what the environment is telling us. We usually can't hear it because of all the noise of the people. So I think we must have a lot in common.
I think you've made a good choice in joining WA, but then I might be a little bit biased because I made that same choice.
Jump into your training - I would do one lesson at a time and try not to skip around.
If you get overwhelmed - take a step back take that walk in the woods, then dive back in
If you get stumped on something, just ask. There are a lot of successful people who know the answer to your question.
Best of all, the people in this group feel like family. Everyone wants you and I to succeed. I have been in business organizations before and I've never seen anything quite like this.
You're off to a great start.
Best of all success to you, Marc.

Hello Kali, thanks for the warm welcome:-) I'm gonna check out the free training now. Things have to move forward, right? And I absolutely agree to you, that taking a step back from time to time to watch and listen to what ever is around or within ourselves is soooo important. Opening up, changing perspective, climbing on a hill and watching from there.
