Hi...welcome.
I've been on the internet for a long time. In fact, I had one of the first public email accounts back in the mid-1980s, from a company named "portal". I remember when I saw my first web page...it was at Sun Microsystems, where I was working as a contractor; it was http://www.nasa.gov, I think--and had these just gorgeous pictures of the earth from space--the browser was the mosaic browser, from NCSA. Several engineers from there, particularly Marc Andreessen came here to Silicon Valley and with Jim Clark founded Netscape (here's an interesting interview with Marc from Marc's Interview )

It took me a little longer to get interested in e-commerce. (I was using the internet for daytrading.) I don't know when I bought my first book on succeeding in internet marketing, but I certainly have a digital pile of them now. Maybe this is a situation you can sympathize with. That's one of the reasons I'm writing this blog.

It all started when I found Michael Green's internet marketing forum just a few weeks ago. ( Michael Green's Forum ). I'm not sure how I stumbled onto it. I just know that I opened an email where he was giving a description of what was going on on the forum, in particular, about a particular thread about a young internet marketer whose rapid ascent into the rare air of internet-market-gurudom was having an equally rapid descent. (Reminds me of some of the stocks my friends and I used to trade :) I, of course, had just recently bought some of his products. Oops.

Once there, other things caught my eye and I posted a couple of questions. One forum regular answered with a video -- over 6 Meg! Talk about positive re-enforcement! One of the discussions started over something called "SBI" -- Site Build It. Now, in my wanderings, I had run across SBI before; in fact, it was one of many, many affiliate programs that I signed up for--and promptly forgot. I only vaguely remembered SBI. As the discussion progressed, I decided to investigate SBI for myself. Here is what I reported: SBI review

BTW -- if you want to visit SBI, could you please use my affiliate link?

Visit SBI here

So, I have taken the plunge. The "twofer" deal that SBI is offering was just too much. I have signed up. I have already downloaded the first parts. Within it is a 10-day "plan". But, it seems much more upbeat than just a "plan." Ken's emails are believably encouraging. It inspires me to think that the time invested with him *will* pay off.

So...I am going to start his 10 steps. The only problem(s): school starts tomorrow. For some strange reason, I signed up for 29 (!) units. In addition, I'm studying to take the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) in April. I have at least 4 1 foot stacks of books sitting on my kitchen table to help me prepare.

This is where you, my reader, comes in. I want you to share in the joy of my success, because I think you will be vital to my success. You will share in this "experiment" with me, to see what kind of results I get by following Ken Evoy's 10-day plan. If I'm successful, you will see how I got there. If not, you will find out what NOT to do. In any case, I'm hoping that you will be able to learn from my own experiences.

After the 10 day plan, it will almost be time for Michael Green to release his latest product, which I have signed up for. So, we will see how that works, too.

(BTW -- in re-reading Ken's affiliate e-mail, he has a several step-by-step plan on how to succeed, so maybe I'll write about working that plan, too.)

Well, that's enough writing for now! Better get to work, reading Ken's next step.
Oh yeah, and I need to post this blog to Michael's Forum, in case anyone is interested.

Happy New Year -- and, before you leave, please expend a few clicks of effort to fill an empty stomach:

FEED! Thanks!   ¶ 9:42 PM
