Hi there! My name is Joan Clark. Welcome to my blog. My mission with this blog is to share Resources, Tools, Training, Products, and ideas for succeeding in Internet Marketing, Making Money Online, and Building an Online Business. I realize this covers a lot of areas, but I want to feel free to provide whatever I come across that I feel will prove useful to those who join me here.
I would call myself a “Beginner” or relative “Newbie” as some people describe us beginners in the Affiliate Marketing field.
I first got introduced to the world of affiliate marketing when just looking for a way to make money from home and came across some ads. From there I checked out a few online promotions that promised to bring me income – finally realized they were all providing me something to sell and yet no clear direction on how to sell it!! Then I realized that I needed to find training programs from someone to teach me how it works. Came across a few flakes, but over the years, I’ve learned to discern between quality and junk products – and the integrity (or lack of) in sellers.
I must admit that since I’m now taking this business seriously, I genuinely regret not taking time in past years to at least get myself better trained on the technology aspects of this world! I’m now taking on that challenge along with discovering one-by-one the many facets I need to know to be a truly professional affiliate marketer (i.e., quality products, traffic strategies, and marketing skills, to name a few).
I live in Ohio and am currently retired. I spent a little over 30 years working in all types of positions in the business environment from file clerk and secretary to writer, project manager, and event planner. Worked in a variety of types of businesses: insurance, telecommunications, education, and even a Union Local office. Once in a while, I chose to work for Agencies to allow myself more independence. In that environment, I worked in large and small oil companies, shipping companies, law firms, children’s hospitals, psychiatrists’ offices, etc. In short – a wide variety of work environments. I am amazed at the variety of interests and needs people find to build a business around! – physical businesses and online ones – the possibilities seem endless.
Whether you’re here to learn a strategy find a tool or product that will be useful in your online money-making goals, get inspired or just motivated, or just want to follow along on my journey, I’m happy to have you join me here!
