The "Great Hope" I find in these Threads!
So I am new to this industry and new to this forum. It was brought to my attention via a the owner of site I purchased and I am forever grateful to him and to all of you, so thank you!
I started my journey many moons ago when Prodigy in DOS was all the rage. To some of you young IM'ers that's like recalling Tommy Dorsey or Buddy Rich. I have never seriously thought about really developing a revenue generating site until I built Point Pickers. This got me started on a train that I am determined to ride into my "Golden Years." For most of you here, not that is not 40.
Anyway I just wanted to shout out my gratitude to the attitude I find in these rooms. It's much like another group of rooms that I attend where they tell me to keep coming back. I am here to take; no doubt, but I am also here to give wherever I can.
The problem with this industry is that there is too much you can do. I find myself learning about a certain technique or campaign and before I can get it off the ground a new one comes along that seems even better. My enemy is myself and my scattered brain. There is a wealth of knowledge and an abundance of ideas here. The key for me is to focus and harness. You know many fail because they get too much too soon and try to do too much with. So be patient, take it slow and it will come. Find one thing, master it and then move on.
I write these things because I need to learn them as well.
Funny thing is I thought that all I had to do was offer a free site that plays a great game and gives away $100.00 and I would have thousands. Haha, what a joke. In the hands of some of the great leaders in this forum, Point Pickers would probably have those thousands of subscribers, but in my hands it has a long way to go but that's OK, as it has humbled and inspired me to learn and grow.
You are all my family now so thanks for everything and my best of the new year to you all.
Hope this helps and inspires.
