About me....

I began using computers in 1978 with a Tandy CoCo II (if you remember those I know your age).

I operated a dial-up BBS for about 8 years called The County Line BBS (if you remember those it tells your age again).

After the internet started drawing the BBS users away, I reluctantly went online myself. The net seemed to be a competitor to us operators at the time.... LOL But as more and more users went to the net, I eventually closed up shop and jumped online myself.

I started my online endeavors back in 1998. I waded through the hype and BS learning lessons the hard way. I was early enough to actually build downlines and make money from the adbars before they bit the dust. Was successful with several start-ups but by their 2cd year they didn't even renew their domain name.

Then I was lucky enough to meet up with some "true" marketers, those that knew that their success depended on mine as well. They showed me some tricks of the trade. I became successful online, by that I mean, I met or exceeded my goals, and I made a profit.

I operated from the domain HelpingHandMarketing.com with marketing resources and submission services, etc, and wrote a newsletter aimed at marketing tips for beginners and sharing new techniques that I learned.

Personal problems and health problems have kept me away for a couple years. I have recently gotten in a position where I can access the internet on a limited basis and playing catch-up with the programs.

I had worked up to a point in the past where I was making a nice part-time income from the net, so I know it can be done. I am disabled with no income now so I have a bigger reason to make it work again.

Now I am back and you can follow my progress here. I will post important info as I have time. Share my marketing strategies and results as well.

With no money, I must opt for a free server for my webhost. This goes against common marketing knowledge, but at this point I do what I must. I am slowly putting together a website for marketing and computer tips. I will be compiling marketing
resources such as articles, links to website help, marketing help and computer help.
