Can you look back and remember when you
first logged online? I did this for the first time a few months ago because
someone asked me how I got started in this business, and I really had to
think about it.
It's going on five years for me since I first logged on, so it really
took me a few minutes to remember exactly how I got started.
Does this sound like you:
I was looking to do something from my home.
I was looking in the free classifieds then the ffa sites and search
engines.
I discovered affiliate programs and joined way to many to keep track.
I was trying to advertise all of them at the same time.
I wasn't getting anywhere and I didn't make any money.
Is this what you're going through right now? Believe me when I tell
you that that is the scenario most of us go through, because most
of us are just regular people who are trying to determine our own future
and success.
I had to learn this business the hard way but you don't have to. I had
no one to show me anything because that was before I discovered
ezines. Since that time back then I've come to know many publishers,
and I can tell you that almost all of them are good, honest, hard working
people just like you and me.
That's why when I talk about another publisher in the ezine, I say my
friend and fellow publisher because they are my friends.
To get back to the topic of this article, I'm trying to tell you that
we are here for you, if you just ask us your questions. Most of us are
online daily because we work at it continuously to grow our businesses.
We know how it is to be new, but you don't have to go it alone like
we did. They say don't reinvent the wheel but learn from someone who's
been there. Who else but publishers can you really trust online?
We won't try and sell you something that isn't any good. We won't tell
you to buy this or buy that just because it's for sale. We only recommend
the things that we have used ourselves because that's how we build the
trust with our subscribers.
Why do you think so many people advertise in the ezines? It's because
they know our subscribers trust us, so they have a better chance of making
a sale then if they were to place a classfied on a website.
We provide the news to keep you updated such as the filter problem and
virus updates. Who else does this? We provide the resources that can help
you with your business. Who else does this?
Listen closely when I tell you that us publishers can be your best friends,
supporters and mentors. We can help guide you in the right direction and
steer you clear of the scams and con artists. Who else does all of this for you?
Just because we're behind monitors doesn't mean we won't help you. As
a matter of fact, I go out of my way constantly to help others on here
and I wouldn't want it any other way.
I remember being a Newbie...do you?
All the best,
Audra
