A very warm welcome to my new blog! I’m very excited to be writing this because I’ve set myself a major challenge to be earning a full-time income from the internet by the time I leave university, and hopefully I’ve got lots of interesting stuff to share with you over the coming weeks and months.

Firstly I thought I’d better introduce myself, and tell you all about why I’m so excited…

I’ve been involved in internet marketing in one form or another since the age of 13.

Like a lot of people I started on eBay, and I had my first business experience importing soft toys from the USA and selling them over here in the UK. Back then eBay was free, and I had to use my parents account since I wasn’t old enough to have one myself!

But I had a business going where I was making several hundred pounds a month - not a fortune, but at that age it felt fantastic, and it still would to this day because making money gives me a buzz that I’ve never quite experienced with anything else.

A few years later I began to notice eBooks. Immediately I could see the income potential in this, and initially started selling those ebooks that come with resell rights.

Soon I tried my hand at writing my own, and began to move away from eBay. I put together a wholesale directory, which I updated monthy, and sold it mainly via a small website I put up. It sold very well too because it was up-to-date and comprehensive - and I knew from my own experience that none of my competitors were as good!

Since then I’ve tried my hand at various forms of internet marketing, and have written a couple of small eBooks. I’m now aged 20, and studying for a degree at a university in London. But I graduate next year, and it’s now that I am seriously thinking about what I want to do with my life - which is where internet marketing comes in.

A few summers ago I reached a point where I was earning practically a full-time income from ebooks and internet marketing. I found ways to make money online (at least as much as a job could provide), but then the time came to go back to college, and I got distracted by too much socialising… etc, and somehow it rather dwindled into nothing.

But recently I’ve come to a conclusion - and that is that I KNOW I want to be a full-time internet marketer. I’ve had the experience of earning vast amounts of money over-night, and it feels fantastic. I love internet marketing, and I love writing, and I KNOW I can do this!

So I’ve set myself two targets:

Firstly - I’ve got the summer away from university (it’s June 2nd as I write this - so from now until mid-September), and by the end of summer I want to be earning a regular income from internet marketing. My target is £500 a month, but we’ll see how it goes.

Secondly - In 12 months time I will be graduating, so by then I want to be earning a full-time income from the internet. So we’re talking about enough money to live off - say £15,000 a year to start with.

I think that is very achievable and realistic, and I’ll be documenting my experiences right here on this blog. It’s going to be a lot of hard work, but I’ve made money before so I KNOW it can be done, and to be honest I’m just feeling SO excited as I write this.

Please please please leave your comments on any post I make, and feel free to email me or chat. I LOVE talking to other people, and really value what you think.

Over and out - until my next post anyway :)
