When you first logged on to the Internet, Did you have a clue as to the education that you were going to get?

I didn't!

It didn't take long for me to realize,Searching for Free Marketing Tools? You Already Own the Best There Is! Articles "This would be No overnightrocket to Internet stardom."

I also had reservations about being able to learn all this new stuff!

At times I would become almost overwhelmed with terminologiesthat were as foreign to me as a proposition in nuclear physics.

After all, I'd been a construction worker for the past 25yrs. Whatever gave me the idea that I could trade in my Hard Hat for a shotat Internet Marketing?

The answer to that question: "Because I knew I could and because,above all else, I wanted to."

Like most of us I spent countless hours on the Web. Searching foreffective ways to get my site noticed. Trying everything thatseemed to make sense to me.

I went the route of free classified sites, ffa link sites, banner exchanges, link exchanges, and spent a few bucks trying the automated software to submit to those sites. There wasn't exactly a flood of traffic to my site. Although I really had no way of knowing what kind of traffic I was getting since I didn't do any adtracking back then.

I did an awful lot of reading and discovered that I could get Freesubscriptions to online publications that were just jammed withuseful information.

Ezine/Newsletter editors and publishers that freely shared theirknowledge and expertise with those that would read theirpublications.

I subscribed to many. There were some that were extremely goodand some not so good. After a time It occured to me, there seemed to be a concensus among them about effectively promoting yoursite.

Writing Articles!

Now don't jump right up and say, "I can't do that!" or "Jeez I don't even have a High School Diploma!" or any of a thousand excuses we can come up with that keeps us in our Comfort Zone.

We all know something about something.

If you've ever told a story.

If you've ever told a joke.

If you've ever rehearsed a conversation in your head that you were going to have at a later date.

If you can fog up a mirror. :-)

YOU CAN WRITE AN ARTICLE!

With a couple hundred thousand online publications out there,what you have to share, will affect someone.

Will your first article be perfect? Lord No!

Will everyone read it? Probably Not!

Will there be room for improvement? Sure!

Will we ever be equal to the Big Authors? Why not? With timeand practice anything is possible.

A paradox that I hold on to is: What We Give Away We Get to Keep!

Build relationships with people.

Don't be an anonymous, facelessimage behind your computer monitor.

Give your name out whenever possible.

Always introduce yourself when contacting someone for the firsttime.

Let people get to know you. Go On Take a Risk!

Share willingly and freely with your fellow travelers and Successwill surely Be Yours.

Yours in SuccessArt Luff
