Hi everyone, I'm new here. Just thought I should introduce myself, although I'm not sure this is the right place to do it.

Anyway, I'm sort of new to the whole entrepreneurship/marketing game. I was an architect for 8 years (buildings) but hated it and the lifestyle it forced me into. I'm married and have a kid, and recently moved my family in with my parents across the country from where we were living.

I've been drop shipping for a while and have a personal blog. I'm hungry to learn.

I hope to make some friends here and add value to the community

Anyway, just wanted to say hi.

Isaac

    Welcome,
    we all started somewhere. Some people get into marketing and make a lot of money and some don't the trick is. Concentrate on one thing and get it done. Find 1 path and do it. Otherwise you will read a post after post and you will get nothing done.

      Thanks for your warm welcome everyone!

      I see there is a common theme, choose 1 thing and focus. Wise words. Right now my 1 thing is drop shipping. I'm determined to get it working, and have a lot of learning and work still ahead of me.

      Saiah, thanks for asking - no sales yet. I had some faulty research and am pivoting that store. I may have to put that one in the "fail fast and learn" category. We'll see pretty soon I think.

      I look forward to awesome conversations with you all on the forum. Good luck everyone!

        Hmmm, nice blog and welcome!

        I was going to mention Rich Dad,..., but l can see you already have read it. And Dropshipping can make a lot but it can also take a lot of money from you initially?

        Glad that you got away from the nightmare job and into a better one. This sort of crap happens quite a lot, but it usually goes like, two people lose their jobs, and the one that is left is expected to do it all then gets told off, if they don't.

        Reggea cures everything, hmmm, l prefer chocolate cake myself, he, he!

        Yes l have spent 7 years online all up, after several failed business attempts in the real world, and have spent years on some, without much success.

        I am currently doing flyers for Graphicriver, since it is literally the only thing left online with a real chance of success.

        Yes, my brother has a real job, and he will spend the rest of his life or most of it, working hard and forgetting about owning his own house!

        Doesn't sound like a great strategy to me, best to bite the bullet and work hard on a business, so your life will get easier over time?



        Sit on a beach, yes, sounds pretty good to me, but l would want a cocktail with at least one cocktail umbrella in it, and a Laptop closeby so l can post a thread here about sitting on the beach, he, he!

          tagiscom - Thanks, I appreciate your comments!

          I agree that the 9-5 is not a very good situation to be in these days, and quickly getting worse. I just can't imagine working my whole life, giving up freedom, and having nothing to show at retirement age, which is what's happening to so many people now.

          Who knows if this path will be more profitable (I think it will) but at least it'll be more interesting and comes with freedom. And I agree - work hard now and let it pay off later.

          Drop shipping hardly costs anything to get started, probably a few hundred dollars max. I'm gonna do it until it works - at least that's the plan now.

          Good luck on your Graphicriver stuff!

    Welcome Isaac and have a nice time here, definitely a great place to start with internet marketing. Browse the forum for a while to get a feel of the ideas and what works and doesn't but once you choose something stick to that and make it work, jumping from one thing to the other never works.

    Welcome and good luck...
    Take one task for atleast 20 days..concentrate on it...master it..
    Learn from the failures
    And yes...don't buy things one after another....You already might have seen tons of those till now..
    All sales page are very tempting...Always feels like buying...
    I had gone through those in my earlier phase...which leaded me to information overload..
    But when stick to point...some didn't but many of them did paid me back...
    Its all mind game...
