Thank you for being here!
I want to say hello and give you a warm welcome to my new blog! I am SO EXCITED to be here with my very own blog!
I am excited for a new venture! I have been dabbling with Internet marketing for over ten years, and I have been making money (nothing to ride home about).
I’ve been involved in other business ventures, and so my efforts have been diluted and I simply have not made the decision to make my online business my primary business – until now!
I am dedicated, so I anticipate success. But I’ve got a lot to learn, and I will be learning along the way. You can count on me to share it all with you… the good, bad, and the ugly.
If you have been struggling, you can probably relate. Things have not been so easy lately, but to be fair, you should know that I have a great deal of business experience, and I built a multi-million dollar business on a meager $4k investment. That was an offline business, and I’ll tell you more about what happened with that in a moment.
The point is that I am ready for my next venture, and you can come with me. I will leverage my knowledge and experience to help me get started, stay motivated, and avoid mistakes. This will be valuable for you too.
I’m not trying to toot my own horn with successes because it has been a struggle… but you should know that I am coming from a unique position which does include those successes, as well as the wonderful lifestyle that it affords.
I haven’t been living that lifestyle lately, and I want it back!
I know I can do it because I know what is possible, and I know you can do it too. I’ve had the failures and the successes to push you through, and now we are going to take the online business journey together. I’m excited! That’s why I created this blog.
It is very humbling to put it all out in the open and share it.
This marks the beginning of my real online business. I say that because, as mentioned, I am now dedicating myself to this endeavor. I have been an online marketer for some time now, and while there are skills I need to learn, there are also some that I have become quite proficient at.
One of those skills is building an awesome WordPress blog (website). This blog was started today (11/04/18) and will be launched in a few weeks once I produce some content and make it look decent. Starting your own blog is one of the things I can teach you right away. If you only knew what I went through to learn how to build my first website (I’ll save that story for another time).
Anyway, this is my plan:
- Start my blog (this I did today)
- Add content (I will writing and posting like crazy through December)
- Drive traffic (this is planned for January, February, and beyond)
- Monetize (traffic and value is required first)
- Continue (this is the normal operation phase, which includes continually tweaking, adding content, driving traffic, and new ways to make money)
I expect to work hard to execute steps 1 through 4. Step 5 is where we all want to get. It is still work, but it is leveraged and the momentum is in place. This is the step where we work as we please, where we enjoy the lifestyle, and enjoy the ride.
While I plan to work pretty hard and put in a lot of time, you should know that you do not need to stick, to the same grueling schedule as me. You can make this work on your own schedule, as long as you are realistic with your time frames.
I want to do this quickly because I want to show you what is possible (and I also want to have that wonderful lifestyle back).
So I mentioned before that I have had successes – and I’ve also had failures. I have a great deal of business and life experience to share here. Through each of my successes and failures, I’ve learned something.
That business I was taking about before was my first successful business (offline) in the tech field as a systems integrator in Manhattan. In just a few short years, I turned an $8k investment ($4k each with my business partner) into a multi-million dollar operation. That was in the 90’s, and I’ve had hardships since, including a divorce (that sucked). I don’t want to bore you w
ith that here, but I’m sure I’ll write more about it, as well as my other business ventures (both successful and not) at some point here on this blog.
The point is that I am ready now to put in the effort and make it work online, and share everything with you along the way.
This blog is the place where you can learn how to make money online and off, get business tips, inspiration, and all resources you need to live life on your own terms. It’s more than just a blog about how to succeed, but also how to enjoy the success lifestyle.
You found me (I appreciate that). If you have any questions, just let me know. You can reach me directly on my contact page. I will be happy to write a post to address your question (as long as it is something I can help with).
To your success,
Scott Gilbert
PS: If you want to get your blog started, I have since written this post to walk you through the process.
