Hi John,
You mention taking a speed-reading course before your library binge back when you were getting started.
Do you remember the name of the course? I’d love to find out if it’s still available.

It seems like there are a couple of ways to go…either specialize in one of the areas you mention or just have a “what am I thinking today” type of blog with more personality.

Hi I’m Venoo from Jamaica, happy to be a part of this group and looking forward to going all the way. This is an extremely new territory for me so I’m extremely nervous and excited at the same time. I’m currently studying affiliate marketing as a new career and I definitely want to be a tremendous value to the tribe I will be building.
