Hi! New member here, just getting my feet wet.

Hello everyone.

I did content creation for about 2 years after leaving the oilfield, while working on my books. Fiction is my passion, but at the moment at least, it don't pay the bills. I'll add some cool stuff to my sig line soon, but I wanted to jump on and say something before my account goes stagnant.

So anyway, I gained quite a bit of experience writing PLR articles before, and I like creating content that will make end-users happy (vs some of the "free gifts" I've gotten from lead magnets that disappointed). I'm restructuring just about everything in my life right now, from how I'm prepping my homestead property to how I release books, to pivoting my personal publishing company to make it something awesome (Gecko Print Publishing).

I decided that since this was a skill I'd already cultivated, I'd pick up on it and try to do it from the business side. The learning curve is still quite stiff, but I'm getting ready to launch my first JVzoo ebook very soon here, and I have a rather large product coming behind it that will be broken and grouped into several products. I did the best I could with some licenses, and just pushed something out to learn the process. I resisted asking questions here and elsewhere, preferring to leave bruises all over my skull learning things the hard way, with only some samples from a previous client to go from.

Looking forward to turn my content creation into full-time employment, as I believe as hard as the market might be, it's probably easier than selling fiction books. In the meantime, looking to network, make friends, interact, etc. If there's anything my writing skills could help you with, don't hesitate to reach out to me and we can chat. I'd rather work on my own projects, but if something looks cool and I can help make it shine, sometimes I'll take a closer look, especially if it means making friends in a space where I'm a relative nobody.

Nice to meet you all, comments welcome. I'm here to meet and greet, so say hi!
