Hello all! First, thank you for accepting me into this forum. and I must say. WOW! This is a big one! Thank you also for posting the rules and they don't seem much different than the posting rules in online college discussions. Like my title explains I am here to learn and I want to be the best I can be and I believe I can do that from spending time in here reading, learning, and taking notes. A little about myself, I am 45, and have my own business in Internet Affiliate Marketing and SEO for a small local business. Honestly, the SEO for a local business pays better than the affiliate marketing. I graduated with an AA degree from the U. Of Phoenix Online college with a 3.95 GPA about a year ago. That was a lifelong goal, it was the hardest mental challenge of my life but I grew a ton from it. I would have gone farther with my education but family responsibilities and the high cost of the education pushed me to stop for now. After taking my degree and looking for a job, only to see that I would have had to go back to customer service once again. I decided to open my own business and after a very rocky road I am doing it. I am not a big time guru at all, just a guy who can work freaky hard and has the determination and will to not quit. I have a few tips for the younger generation... Go for your dreams. Kick FEAR in the teeth for it will rob you of your dreams. Never quit. Pain will make you stronger, and harder the work the more character it will build. Hope this intro is ok, I am going to spend some time learning from y'all now. KT
