I have learned so much

I just want to quickly say thank you to everyone here. I don't post very often, but I do read through this forum almost daily.

I have been at this whole IM thing for some months now (haven't really made anything) but that is ok. I know I will eventually get to where I want to be income wise.

Back in June of this year when I really began becoming interested in internet marketing, I didn't even know that there was a difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org.

I didn't know what FTP meant, and didn't know what SEO was. Although I am still working on SEO. Probably will be doing that for years to come lol.

All these strange things that were so over my head at the time like DNS settings, finding hosting, propagating, FTP, and HTML tags like DIV, have become much clearer to me now.

Although I haven't started to make money yet, I know it is just around the corner. The crappy beginning hard part is out of the way now, at least I think.

Alright, I may have jumped the gun there a little bit, but I think I have graduated from the beginners to the the "Slightly more advanced beginner!!!!" and I am very happy about that.

Now if I would just take the time to learn about redirects to promote clickbank items, as well as (and this is the important one) take the leap and start building a list that I can market to. I will no doubt use aweber, but I am, as some people would say, a little intimidated.

Questions like, can you make different lists for different niches that you have? Is writing an ebook and/or creating your own product difficult?

Anyway I guess what I am trying to say is thank you everyone for all of the great info on this forum, and if anyone would be so kind as to give me a kick in the butt to cross over that threshold and actually build a list, that would be extremely awesome!

Thanks again

Andrew Duley

      LOL yes thank you. It somehow sounds strangely like all the comments I get on my sites, because I haven't made enough money to buy Akismet!

      If I am wrong I totally am sorry, it us just that I seem to get all kinds of garbage comments. But what's new right?

    Hmmm, I feel like I may have made a somewhat rude comment there, so Noman Sarwar I am sorry if I came off like a jerk.

    I think I might actually be a little paranoid lol

      You know what I think this whole post boils down to is? I need some work on key word research.

      But the main thing is, I don't really know the best ways to drive traffic.
      I am now starting to comment on blogs and forums.

      Great yeah!!! Give me a HECK YEAH

      The only thing that I could see hurting me is this.

      As far as I know, and this happened on my "best guitar amplifiers" site.

      Many people clicked on the link in my signature, but left just as quick.

      You know what that means?

      High bounce rate.

      Bad for SEO!!!!!

        If you're concerned about that, you probably should reconsider using that sig file-some warriors are probably just checking out of curiosity, because this forum has nothing to do with the guitar amp niche, so not being guitarists, they won't stay long. Obviously some of them are, but no more than any random group, I imagine-best to put a make money online type offer in your sig, or nothing.

        I agree with you that this forum is an awesome resource, but there are people here who enjoy expressing contempt for others-best to disengage, and just be polite but firm about not buying into other people's dramas or react too much to any haters-you get those everywhere-don't waste time defending yourself-just ignore them, or make a pithy comment and be done with it-or go overboard with politeness, making them look even worse than they already do, by contrast.

    Hi Andrew,

    Sounds like you've come a fair way and are on the right tracks... ;-)

    Looks like you've already twigged that marketing digital products is the way to go, and wanting to start building your own list is the best decision you could make.

    Time to put it all together...

    Keep on keeping on,
