The Internet Marketing Business From the Ground Up!

I've always wanted my own business. I didn't know what it would be but I knew this business would be on the internet.

Why? Because the internet has always fascinated me. I've been on the net since 1994. I have made friends on the net, wasted time in the chatters way back when and go into withdrawal if my email is down. Does this sound familiar to anyone else? I knew there had to be a business out there for me.

But What Kind of Business? That was the million dollar question.

This summer I decided it was time to get serious about finding a business to market. A google search revealed a zillion hits for internet marketing.

Where to start?

After downloading a dozen 'free' reports and getting on as many 'lists', I decided a good how-to book for beginners might be the answer. That led me to one book in particular:

"Street Smart Internet Marketing" by Justin Michie.

I'm not quite sure why this book caught my eye out of the dozens (hundreds, maybe thousands out there) but it did. I think because the lead-in pages weren't in my face flashing....and the author let his customers download three free chapters for free!

Those free chapters turned out to be good stuff. I was intrigued so I ordered the book.

That was my start.

A month later a chance meeting with an ezine journalist friend of mine led me to my next major finding and that was FreeTrafficBar.

What a great resource! It will take me months to explore FreeTrafficBar further. One good feature is the keyword search. When I get my ebook sales going this will be a tremendous help. Also every web page I surf to is giving me points towards advertising.

It's been an adventure and more to come.
