Internet Marketing for Beginners!

Internet Marketing for Beginners

Your require no Computer skills! Internet Marketing is easy! Anyone can do IT! Earn Money quickly and easily! My way is the best! Earn Money while you Sleep! Find a Niche!

Just...Just...Just!

Has anyone heard any of those sayings before? About two years ago now I became interested in the idea of utilizing the computer to generate wealth. As the adds go..easily, while I slept would be great, and as I was a complete non geek, I figured that I had the first qualification down pat:)

Now I know you are asking the question, "Why would a non geek, wish to utilize the computer as a way of generating income?" Believe me I still often ask myself the same question! However, the main reason was due to urgency and a crazy idea. In Dec 2008 my family returned from their annual 10 days holiday at the Sunshine Coast, to a phone call that has changed our lives. We received a call from CBA's Colonial Geared Investments asking for and as quickly as possible for over $105,000 because our Share Portfolio with Storm Financial no longer existed. The money was the shortfall that was owing to CGI, and how were we intending to pay it? Welcome home:( We were told that all of our well saved cash funds, our personal shares and all income that came those shares, our retirement plans and more scary our home was all either gone or would be gone when the banks finished with us. We were not the only ones, altogether there were over 3000 investors caught up in this living nightmare. I just didn't know too many of them at that stage!

To say that we were in shock is an understatement. How could this have happened? Why did it happen? How could we gain help? Who could help us? these are just some of the questions floating in our heads. As with any disaster or trauma, basic life has to go on and the days gradually crept into weeks and the intrinsic human ability to survive kicked in!

I kept having a dream to write a poem...not any poem...an inspirational one...one that would help us and many others caught up in this trauma to survive.

Now I know what you are thinking...."She's mad! A poem! What on earth! Is that the best you can come up with!" Believe me I have heard all the comments, lots of times, I even say them to myself quite often. However dreams start ideas, and these ideas can turn the tides and create huge change.

I listened to my dreams, and over the course of several nights, got up many times and wrote lines, one at a time and the result was a gift from the Universe, my poem

Why Green String and what that has to do with Internet Marketing? Well you will have to follow my blog to find out:)

See you tomorrow.

Mum Not Geeky

"Mum Not Geeky"

That is my code name on the computer. My children and often technical assistance personal cringe when I start a question with "I only want to......"
It is not my fault I was born in the fifties, and that I left full time work before computers were in full use within the workplace. I could however use a PABX telephone exchange or a gestetner copier and I even knew how to send a telegram. Most of these instruments are not heard of nowadays. So I am not technophobic just slightly technical illiterate.

The obvious question is why I would want to know how to do techky geeky things on the computer. Well computers are really good fun things and it is also possible, I have been told to earn some considerable amounts of money with them...even apparently even us non tecky people. Sorry I have to slightly disagree with that...There are times I struggle big time!

However when I think back over the last two or so years I have come along way.....I am even writing blogs now and they no longer disappear into cyber space! (Well most times!). One of the more frustrating aspects is the inability of people who have a good understanding of computers to come back to the basics. For them the basics is not where to find the on/off switch it is more advanced than that. They forget a time where they too had to look for the switch!

About two years ago I had the opportunity to attend an internet marketing seminar and the universe conspired for me to go. It was very exciting and lots of intense energy was in the room. A vast majority of what was being said made no sense to me at all, I hadn't heard of half of the terms and was not sure I wanted to. Considering that at 46 I decided to become a natural therapist and manged to work my way through Anatomy and Physiology, nutrition, chemistry and many other hard core subjects, this computer speak was even more strange and overwhelming.
