Hi everyone, Although I am very active in other forums, I'm pretty new to this particular one. So I thought it was high time I became more active here to pass on what I have and continue to learn when it comes to building an online business from scratch. I have been documenting my journey on my personal blog as a form of "Self Accountability" and also to make sure that my progress is accessible to anyone else who is trying to do the same but is struggling with the basics. So I thought I would start by introducing myself here on the Digital Point forum and then continue to document my story (pitfalls and all!) so that others can at least learn from any mistakes I have made along the way so as to avoid any un-needed frustrations! My name is Andy Benson and I am embarking on a journey into the world of Online Marketing or Internet Marketing. My goal is to be in a position to leave my day job by the end of this year and then to scale up my business and develop a solid, consistent and sustainable six figure income from it, while having the satisfaction of delivering quality information, guidance and products, that will help others achieve their goals along the way! I WILL do this....the question is HOW? To answer that, I would love for you to follow my journey along with me, learn from my mistakes (and I'm sure there will be plenty! LOL!) and take encouragement from seeing that results CAN be achieved in a short space of time by ANYONE who has a burning desire to change their situation for the better, and is prepared to put in some consistent effort and take action. My chosen methods will be mostly FREE apart from the obvious ones like hosting and purchasing domain names etc, so this is pretty much within everyone's reach and budget! I can tell you now....there is NOTHING special about me at all! I am NOT in anyway a "techie" person, so when it comes to computers I am as BAD as it gets! So when I say to you "If I can do this ANYONE can" I mean it! I look forward to sharing my journey with you all and hope you find what I document in my posts to be both inspiring and useful in helping YOU achieve your own personal online goals! And can I leave you with the same thought as I started this post with..... Don't let anyone tell you that you CAN'T do it!! All the best! Andy Benson
I must tell you! The thread title did got my attention.. Its a famous dialogue from the movie "Pursuit of Happyness" Don't let anyone tell you that you CAN'T do it! It's your dream, you gotta protect it. Thanks
