Hi, My name is Nahid Ashby . I was introduced to Internet Marketing just three short years ago purely by accident. Now I am regarded as an expert.
Isn’t it remarkable how things can suddenly develop and take you by surprise?
It’s like watching a saucepan full of milk on the gas hob. It seems like a long time before it comes to the boil, but come to the boil it will and if you blink it will spill over.
Well, this is what happened to me with my Internet marketing steep learning curve!
I was looking into property investing at the time and stumbled upon a site that was delivering exactly what I was looking for. An opportunity to make enough money to enable me to get into the property market.
This was not like any other business opportunity I had experienced before, this was not promoting yet another scam, this was a real, plausible business idea and an invitation to a free two day seminar was not just enticing but it was just out of this world! unbelievable. What? All that for free? I never got anything for free before let alone a two day seminar packed with information and ideas.
And it was on that faithful summer day that I was totally and utterly hooked! The idea that you could create multiple streams of income on the Internet and have your sites running day and night collecting money for you even while you sleep, the fact that you could target a global market without even stepping outside your house, wowed me like nothing had done until then.
And then came the irresistible torrents of information. I was like a zealous child in a rubber dingy riding the waves! People were complaining about being overwhelmed and bursting from information overload, but I was just quietly soaking up the information like a magic sponge.
Yes I got a pounding head ache at the end of that week- end. Yes I had sleepless nights, that week end and for a long time afterwards and yes, it felt like I had come back to a false reality on Monday morning after that eventful week-end seminar, having to go to work was so painful!
But I didn’t complain of information overload, I just couldn’t get enough of it! The head aches and sleepless nights were only because I was trying to process and organise all that information, finding a way to put them to practice.
I went to many more seminars after that, Free ones as well as paid ones, bought many manuals, books, software programs, joined membership and mentoring programs… it became a routine for me to get on my computer every night after work, spending time to learn and implement.
Starting right at the beginning with small steps, sometimes painful and often very slow but always with enthusiasm and hope.
Well, I have come a long way since then and you know what? Looking back, I now believe that for the amount of information I have gathered and for the volume of knowledge I have gained, three years has gone like a flash.
It was at a recent seminar, a few months ago that I suddenly realised, Hey, I know most of these things they are talking about! I am almost an expert myself, because I have tried these methods and got results.
At the coffee break, I found myself outside, with a small crowd around me asking me about my experiences and my opinion about certain techniques and I had no problem answering their questions. In fact most of the things they asked me made me giggle a bit as they were such simple things.
But it reminded me of myself a couple of years ago when I didn’t know those things and I had to learn the hard way.
So, I started this new blog and called it Internet Marketing Success Academy because I want to offer genuine products and publish useful material to help people in their journey to success. Something I could’ve done with when I first started.
