And to top it off, these school districts were in our town's high crime neighborhoods.  Where I come from, we call any elementary school that begins with a B, one to be avoided at all costs. If the school's name began with a B, only the new teachers who didn't know any better, would agree to teach in "those" schools. And this is exactly what happened to me. My life became a quest just to survive, and I regretted having hastily picked education as my college major. My biggest goal as a little girl was to get married, and have children, but along the way I knew it was wise to invest in my own education, just in case. That proved to be a wise decision later in my life, and I still believe and encourage you to invest in yourself.

So, one of the first things I did online was to BLOG about fitness. 

And blog..and blog some more...for an entire summer for goodness sakes!

The total revenue from that summer of OBSESSING and thinking about "how to get six pack abs"? Zero. Thud. Dud. 

But I did gain six packs of fat sitting at my computer :(. So, I went back to the drawing board.

I had to re-evaluate why my blog was not performing (converting in leads/sales), and why the ebooks were not selling. 

Maybe it was my product? 

Maybe it was the design on my page?

Maybe I didn't haven't enough visitors to my website? 

I certainly had tried to "piece-meal" my sales pages that were so ugly I was ashamed to let people to actually see them. Big sigh! This was so frustrating, can you relate?

It was so overwhelming, I quit. But just for a short time. I was totally smitten with the "bug" of having income come in from stuff I did online. And that is exactly where my journey got interesting. I became like a dog with a bone, I decided to be persistent and figure this thing out. And thankfully, I finally did.

What was the difference?

I found the right product to put in front of a potential customer as a "solution." 

and then it was downright easy. I discovered that promoting other people's products with built-in sales funnels who had already taken the "black eye" of what didn't work, and tweaked those pages to find out what DID work... was key. And I didn't have to do anything, but get people to those winning pages.

My first ebook that I wrote was a book of poems that I sold to a guy in Singapore for $37 when I was asleep.
