In my world, working online is the past, present and future. I first started surfing the Web around 1993, when my parents bought their first computer. It came with a free trial to AOL, so I hooked us up! The Internet was nothing then like it is now, where you can find information on just about any topic. I spent my time online playing games and visiting various chat rooms, interacting with the other people who were just discovering this technological monster.

Jump ahead 17 years and who would have guessed that I would be running my own online business that has been successful and growing for over 5 years? It’s a whole new world, this space of working with people online. I’ve got two contractors working with me now that I have never met in person. One has been working with me ever since I started online, more than 5 years ago. I’ve only met one of my hundreds of clients in person as well, and that’s only because he’s a local businessman whose office is about a mile from my house. All the rest have hired me sight unseen, except for a digital image on my website.

What I’d like to reveal in my blog and eventually workshops, webinars, videos, and much more, is how you can find your own online niche and build your business so that it’s like mine–successful and profitable. It takes a special kind of person to conduct their business completely online. You need a certain tenacity, drive, and willingness to learn, but you can make it work.

So welcome to my world–the world of a genuine online business that you can build with the skills and tools I’d like to share with you.
