Standing on the beach of a vast ocean, dipping my toes and shivering.

Well hello everyone!

I have been casually reading free articles and courses about affiliate marketing for about 2 years now and stumbled across QYDJ about 3 weeks ago. I must say, this site has changed my entire perspective about the industry. I am both encouraged and intimidated by the level of sophistication I am seeing in this forum versus the standard 'get rich quick' fluff that I've come across in my casual browsing.

I am going through the archived files for both BIP and actively following BIP2, and for the first time I feel like I have a viable roadmap for building an income outside my day job. It is, however, quite scary to realize how far I have to go to really understand all of the technology, concepts, business principles, and project management skills that it seems to take to truly make this business the success it can be.

Jeremy, thank you for the incredibly comprehensive tutorials, ebook, articles, and advice. Another huge thank you to all of the knowledgeable forum participants. I expect to have my first small campaign up and running by next month.

I hope to share stories of my successes and challenges as I progress, and intend to give back to the community once my experience and knowledge merits it.

Best of luck to all of you as we journey toward financial independence,

Rick
