DP Rocks!

Wouldnt you know it?! I tried to log in here and it worked! It turns out I signed up to join in over a year ago... but then dropped the ball obviously, because I never posted.

Anyway, ended up back here today several times - once through a search at Google... and again through a link on Allan Gardyne's forum. And both times found myself reading every word of every post on 15+ page threads LOL

You guys rock!! What an incredible forum, and great group of folks!

So here we go - my official intro:

32yo, single mom, working from home around 8 years now - 2 kids btw, they're almost 9 & 14. I'm into seo, affiliate marketing, own a couple of online communities, have a few of these and a few of those, dabble here & there, blah blah blah.

Okay - any words of wisdom... or can I jump in wherever I please?

 

Hello and Welcome to DP!

 

Imagine running into you here!

 

Welcome to DP...

 

I'm into long walks on the beach, snuggling on rainy days, and quarters.

Welcome to DP.

 

Just a little warning, there are also a few messed up dudes here!!!

 

Hey! It's great to see you over here!

Just had to take a moment to tell you that I love following your blog!

 

LOL

Welcome single Mom, my hat's off to you.

DW is a public school counselor and as a result we have lot's to talk about in the evenings ..... them poor, unappreciated, ill-motivated, abandoned kids.

What a waste of human energy and talent.

 

Welcome Lynn.
Please you found your way back to the forum.

You're right - DP *does* rock.

 

Hi Steph & Cricket - Great to see familiar faces!!

To everyone else... THANK YOU, and I look forward to getting to know you


I'm off to venture about and check things out around here!

 

Hello Lynn,
8 years of Internet marketing experience? Incredible! You should be well informed and experienced, and it would be great to share your knowledge with us. I liked your blog, going to check it out. Any shortcuts to get rich, eh? hit me.. lol
Best Wishes!

Regards,
MaxCage

 

Hi Max!

Ahh - I said "working from home for around 8 years now"

Close though. My first business (here's a shocker) was an electronic repair shop. I started it along with my then husband (geez, that's ancient history) out of our home. The following year I moved the shop into a commercial building and we made an apartment in the back of the shop. So then we were "living at work" instead of "working from home"

I think it was probably that 2nd year in business that I started the internet gig - which in all honesty, was still a local biz. I did web development, training & programming at the time.

After our divorce, I moved the web dev biz into a shop uptown on the square, and gave my husband the shop. It wasnt until about a year later that I turned from local to international... and went totally Ebiz. Maybe end of '98 or something like that?

Anyway, still - I do plan to help out where I can, and share what I've picked up along the way. I am totally in love with the concept of ebiz and LOVE my lifestyle. I actually dedicated a whole website to sharing my tips - though I'm not an "Internet Marketer" (meaning that's not my primary source of income, by any means). In fact, I earn more doing what I share, than sharing what I do.

Um... buy a lottery ticket and cross your fingers?

Otherwise, it's all about work, from what I've found

 

Welcome back to DP Lynn. Glad to have your experience on board!

 

Welcome Lynn. Good to have you aboard

 

Thank you!

I've had such a blast reading through the various categories. I could kick myself for not joining in sooner!

(and I skipped a dart tournament tonight to stay home and read more DP. What a GEEK!!)

 

I have another dumb question...

What are reputation points and the little green boxes and stuff?

I'm sure there's a link to explain it all - if you dont mind passing that my way

 

So in this dart tournament do you have matching uniforms and stuff because that doesn't sound geeky at all.

Here's a thread all about reputation.

so how did you get into affiliate marketing, Lynn? Buy a SiteSell.com package from Dr. Ken? (j/k)

 

No LOL - and I'm not on league. I just go to the local blind draw tournaments. I'd like to play on league, but they always play on school nights... and I have 2 kiddos to tuck in

Thanks! That was enlightening
