By the time 2003 came around I was easing off on the share trading, the Internet as it was, was gathering momentum. Opportunities seemed to be popping up everywhere, a lot though not always legit, but there seemed like a glimmer of hope that something could be out there worth taking on.
Built it and they will come.
Or maybe I should say SBI or site build it as it was known. If you have never heard of it, that's cool, because neither had I. The concept is to create a niche subject website, presumably on a topic you have good knowledge on, then monetise using a combination of affiliate links and Google Absence. In the process just plug away at making, adding, and creating lots of interesting stuff to keep your readers begging for more.
It all makes sense right, well let me say that owning, operating, being creative and writing good material worthy of people's attention is hard work. My site is still alive today even though I have no rights over it anymore as I dropped my yearly subscription and handed it over to SBI but have to confess though I was proud of that which I did achieve with cell-to-cell-health.com. Whilst the cash wasn't exactly what I had would have hoped, it did make a little and turned out more of a labour of love in the end.
All the while I am looking at finding maybe not so much as a holy grail of sorts because as we know this is as allusive as it's namesake. Hopefully a business which has a 'turnkey operation'.
I ended up back in the real world again and looked at Amway as well as another business by the name of Mannatech. Yes I joined both for a while but not at the same time though.
What did I learn from these? A lot about motivation and the power of the law of averages. This of which was to serve me well later on in forex trading, but more on that later. I learnt that success is a 'numbers game'. It did however take some time before this really kicked home.
