Newbie Hello
Hello everyone,
...just wanted to tell this newbie's side of the story. I am 46 years old and just learned what SEO was about 1 month ago. I have had a computer since 1997 so I am not a complete novice, but I think I have learned more about internet marketing in the last month than I had known previously. I discovered this forum and joined immediately...what a fantastic resource!
I was drawn to the WSO part of the forum and spent probably my first week there. I got out without losing my shirt and buying everything that can make me rich. I admit I invested at least $80 in my education, however. I promised myself that I will only by more WSO's or anything else with money I EARN as a result of my IM or other related endeavors.
This is probably the third forum that I have joined, although I have lurked in my share. I know some have difficulty bringing themselves to post or even join (I know), but you just have to make up your mind and do it. I think there a lot of people who will burst out of their shell if they just make that first step.
A couple of years ago I read an article about Social Anxiety Disorder. I'm not going to debate anything about it, but it fit me to a T. When I was a kid I HATED to be the center of attention. Giving book reports or being called on in class terrified me. Approaching girls....the fear of rejection....being laughed at.... I'd rather pick a fight with the toughest kid in school.
I don't know why, but in my early 30's I forced myself into situations that previously practically paralyzed me. You know what, little by little, it WORKED. I'm still as far from being the life of the party as I can be, but I'm better.
I had not planned on writing these last 3 paragraphs today, but I hope it helps at least one person.
Hope to get to know some of you,
Frank
