My First Blog Post!
My 1st ever blog, and why? Quite simply I want to build a successful business online and I want to help others do the same.
Let me explain my short story. about 15 months ago after the company I worked for for ten years went bankrupt, I realized that if you want to be successful you are going to have to work for it. You can TRY to achieve success by working for someone else, but you are at the mercy of their business decisions for one thing and the other is you only see a fraction of the revenue you generate for the company if it is owned by someone else. My name is Steve Steiner and I am 56 years old and I’ve spent far too many years waiting for the cash to find me, guess what … Yep, it ain’t happened………yet!
I have been struggling at Internet Marketing for about a year. I bought some training classes, but made the typical “newbie” mistake of looking at every offer that came along. I have sure helped others build their “list”, but that is not the list building I had in mind! I want to build my OWN list, and help others to build THEIR lists, not just be added to someone else’s list.
I have bought countless courses and products, most are simply lingering on my hard drive gathering dust if you will. There are a few lessons I have learned the hard way, and I have written a free report to outline some of the lessons I have learned.

Hey steve, how you doin, thanks again for visiting my blog and leaving a great comment. regarding your questions, the reccomended blogs is a widget that you get from the alex jeffreys forum. Are you a alex jeffreys student? And the live traffic feed, if you go to my blog and where the traffic feed is, right at the bottom of it, it displays the site there, click of that and you can get it from there, its free by the way.
Talk soon mate.

Hi Steve
Thanks for your comments on my website the other day and for your advice. I seem to waste so much time on technical problems, I had to contact HostGator again and they finally discovered my site was wrongly configured.
Your experience replicates much of mine. I too made the mistake of looking at every offer which came along and I have spent too much time “not getting anything done.”
I still haven’t got a list going but having listened to Alex’s latest modules about forums, articles and Squidoo I hope to get going soon. I do tend to get overwhelmed though with all that needs to be done and still having a conventional business slows me down a bit! However no excuses, as Alex says I must just get on with it.
Good luck
Janet
