Hi everyone

My first post on WF, be gentle with me please.

I found the forum in the way that I guess many members found it, I was googling things like "make money online" and have spent a couple of weeks browsing my way through a scary amount of pages.

I feel quite lucky to have found WF so quickly, from what I can gather it is definately the place to be, and it's strangely comforting to have spotted a number of members whose sites I have already visited recently. I'm looking forward to becoming one of the 'incrowd' myself.

The internet marketing side of things is something that is totally new to me and in all honesty is borne out of sheer desperation. Not only am I on the bones of my arse financially but if I don't sort things out fairly sharpish I can't see my Wife putting up with me much longer.

Hmmm, maybe a bit personal for a post on a new (to me) forum, but hey ho, honesty and openess is surely the way to make new friends.

I'm taking my first very tentative steps into this big new world, well it seems very big at the moment, I'm sure once I know what I'm doing it will begin to shrink a little. I'm just in the process of getting my first website online and have got my head around how to include adsense, clickbank and amazon affiliates, not sure I would have done it quite like that had found WF beforehand, but live and learn as they say.

I love to write and want to build up a decent blog or two as I go along, subjects covering football (that's soccer to most of you I guess) cooking and driving, and many other things too. I'm a fair way through writing a 'how to drive' book which I'm hoping will be my 'own product' to market online, but of course I'm not sure how marketable it will actually be.

Whatever happens, it's bound to be a fun ride.

Whoever you are thanks for taking the time to read this, I hope you'll understand my noobieness in the coming months.

    Hi Hogeybogey,
    welcome! As you guessed get ready for a great ride!

    I suggest spending some time following posts/threads to get a feel for the place. Also check out the videos in the sticky on the main forum - it will help you understand the culture here and how to interact.

    Don't be afraid to ask questions - most will be helpful - a few won't - but don't get discouraged. Also don't forget there is a search funtion that's usable.

    again - welcome aboard and please let me know if there's anyway I can help out.

    best,
    --Jack

      Thanks for your good wishes guys it's so nice to know people wish you well.

      I'll be catching up with the videos over the weekend, that's if I don't get lost in the threads, and the challenge looks very interesting indeed, certainly something I'll be trying out.

      One quick question - I've noticed lots of thank you's after posts but not sussed out how to do it yet, can anyone point me in the right direction?

      Many thanks

        The thank you button only appears once you have five or so posts.
