Looking Forward to Being Here

[rtutsky]

Hello everyone! I signed up quite awhile ago but didn't do anything with it so suppose you can say that I am new here.

I have followed Lynn for quite some time, mostly through Click Newz, YouTube vids and NAMs audios. I'm fascinated by the lifestyle that Lynn has built up for herself.

I am a graphic designer (including many other interests) which presently gives me everything I need, but I find that I want to get involved with affiliate marketing and see if I also could build something more passively sustainable.

Fortunately I am tech savvy, have all of the latest programs at my disposal to build websites, et al, so I'm ready to go. I just feel as though I need a bit more guidance and especially a push to really get it going. Anyway, here I am, looking forward to a learning experience and hopefully able to add my own twist of guidance if it's appropriate.

Welcome! Glad to have you here.

Tell us more about your interests and hopefully we can brainstorm some potential ideas.

If you would like more guidance from finding the right niche for you to getting it all up and running, you might look at Lynn's mastermind group (http://www.clicknewz.com/members/payments.php). The rate increases tomorrow so that's why I mention it:)

Lynn has a case study in the group on her most recent niche site and it has helped many people get going with affiliate marketing so be sure to look for that when you join.

Welcome! I look forward to brainstorming with you. :)

Welcome to the forum. I've been a lurker for years and tend to read more then post on this forum. Lot's of helpful members and very helpful moderators on here. (This includes Lynn no doubt)

Hi Angie. Thanks for the welcome, I appreciate it. Like I mentioned, I am a graphic artist with clients that keep me pretty busy to the point that it's a j.o.b. Not really a complaint because I enjoy designing but I want to move into affiliate marketing so 'maybe' I would have more free time available. I live alone and my time is my own so I can work on what I want when I want.

My interests include:

Painting (also in the process of writing a book on how to get started oil painting and setting up a studio)
Woodworking
Graphic design
Photography
Anything Tech
Cooking
Reading
My Birds (parakeets)

Right now I have started a blog on woodworking (I know a lot about it and I like it) and hope I can make something out of it. Affiliate wise, some of the tools used in woodworking are quite expensive and the commissions could be an advantage. You or anyone else's comments are appreciated. Thanks

[Lynn Terry]

I love that you're choosing a personal passion for an affiliate site. :)

Feel free to ask any questions you have, or share a link to your site as you're developing if you want feedback or suggestions!

Thank you Lynn for your response. I just started the woodworking blog and learning Wordpress as I go. My first blog is one that I set up for my son who is a harpist, could you give me a comment on his blog? I am using the same WP template as his (although a newer version). I found that I can change things around now that I know a little more css from Dreamweaver. Love this stuff! Anyway my son's blog is www.matthewtutsky.com Thanks!

[Lynn Terry]

Very nice design! Compelling header & images :)

Well done!

Thanks. I just wish he would do more with his blog but he tells me he has no inclination or drive with it... he's busy enough as is. He's been a world traveler since age 24 (now 26)... France, Spain, all the Scandinavian countries, many states and now he is in Germany (he has more friends over the world than I have friends that I've met in my whole lifetime). Wonderful for him but somewhat sad... we never see each other. I say relish the time you have with your daughter and enjoy every moment, time moves so quickly and you can't go back. Sorry for the mussing. Ah, from this point on, I'll keep copy more relative to what this forum is actually about.

[Lynn Terry]

Good for him! I imagine you are very proud. :)

My son has already left home, turning 21 this year and doing fabulous. But I miss him like crazy. I'm very fortunate he stays in touch with me like he does - and yes, enjoying every last minute with my youngest (daughter) before she leaves home! ;-)
