Hi! I am new here and just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Patty and my family and I live in Wisconsin. I started my business a little over 2 years ago and knew nothing...literally. I didn't know anything about building a website, never heard of Paypal, merchant accounts or even knew what a .jpg was. Talk about naive. I have come a long way since then, but still have lots to learn. I create my own products.... personalized stationery and notecards, and just added a consultant opportunity last month. I'm taking a really great free seo class and am learning alot (especially about patience). The long term goal with my business is to add additional sources of passive revenue (such as Adsense) and affiliate products, so that I add more income to the balance sheet, more diversity in what I offer my customers. I mentor with the work at home mom community in teaching them about customer care and being in business. Many of us are tired of the 'guru' products and newsletters out there that do nothing more than promote with hype for little value in return. So, I guess that's part of why I'm here... to really learn from people using common-sense methods without all the hype and "smoke/mirrors." I guess that was more than I planned to post, so thanks for the opportunity to be here. Patty

This place has done more for me in about a month and benefited me more then I could muster in over a year past. Coding don't make a website sucessful, although it helps that I know I can deliver pages. The benefit is I know what to put on um now.

Welcome to DP. Rather new here myself. Referred here from NamePros.com where I've been more active. Where in Wisconsin? My pet project is a Wisconsin Portal. The one thing missing on the Internet is a sense of geography, hence the name, http://www.theBubbler.com (Patty will "get it" - most others will not). Hope you'll check that out and say hi to me there (and let me know you found it here, please). My member name there is keith. Good luck at DP. Regards, Keith
