(^ for Fawlty Towers lovers ^) I always feel these "About me" posts are a bit... like standing up in a crowd of people and blathering on about oneself to the boredom of others. I'm 31 and live in Rochester, New York. I love single malt scotch, feel the Zoom-Zoom, and Taylor guitars. Internet marketing began for me years ago when my Mom sent me a link about Jim Cockrum and I started selling on eBay to make my car loan payment - I was two hundred short and by month's end I had more than I needed. I ran an eBay store for a year or so, but eventually got out after eBay started messing up their fees and returns/refunds rules. I write and sell ebooks on Amazon. My first real online money was writing for Squidoo, which allowed me to pick a topic that had potential, find keywords, publish, and get a commission for it. It's only give me $300-350 in a year's time, but still good experience. I am currently building my SEO business. I like it here - I've belonged to some very well established communities (moderating some in the design and Photoshop field), but none have struck me as being so 'international' as what we have here... I love that members join up from all over and even though English is not their first language still jump in with experience and help. That's unusual I think. I hope to be able to share even half as much help and experience on DP.
