Hello Everyone,
Are you tired of struggling? Are you tired of living in contempt while life passes you by? Are you tired of reading yet? Reading without taking action, knowing that the knowledge you are obtaining; is that of which that will literally change your life?
I am too.
I've been a frequent member here at Black Hat World, for many years.
The problem was gone, I was doing phenomenal! And then, it came back; the club owner and the landlord got into a dispute that almost led to a physical altercation, the club I had worked with for so long, just said "SO LONG!(Good-bye)!". The struggle was back! I had saved money, I had budgeted wisely BUT I became lazy and content beyond belief. The business closing had literally traumatized me, I felt paralyzed. Everything I had worked SO hard for, gone, gone within an instant and nothing was the same.
I paid my bills and I went to school, I felt that I was "too good" for a regular job, too "accomplished", and I also felt so defeated. I felt as though I had done everything wrong, I felt that the majority of failures in my life had been due to my ignorance of intellect. I failed to provide myself with the appropriate skill sets in life to succeed! What was I to do now?
I panicked, I had to reevaluate my life, I had to get it together. I began reading personal development books and watching self-growth seminars, learning the appropriate mentality to have to succeed and the habits that I needed to establish for it too. I'm not saying that I know everything, I know nothing! but in order to learn something, I must do something instead of nothing.
I am currently a student, and have been for a while. My issue is not that I do not enjoy learning, but that I had no motivation. I personally had no idea what I wanted to do in life because I was so confined behind so many stigmas of limiting beliefs. I finally found it in me due to watching so many seminars and reading so many books, to allow myself to believe that ANYTHING is possible; it doesn't mean anything comes easy, it just means that anything is possible. I went from studying Computer Game Design to Raster Based Imaging and Web Design, Pharmacy, Computer Networking, and FINALLY, what took so long to realize... Business/Marketing. Being a full time student, it becomes a little difficult to dedicate my time to Internet Marketing.
I am currently a business owner, my family and I recently opened up a hookah lounge and my sister and I run it. The business is not doing well, it's been operational for 7 months now and it still cannot sustain itself at the bare minimum of expenses (no rent, no employee overhead). I am at a point where I personally believe that it has hit it's shutdown point but we are going to pursue it until the end of December. Being a business owner, it becomes a little more difficult to dedicate my time to Internet Marketing.
I am determined, I have sat around for too long, learning and reading, learning and reading, learning and reading, it is time for US to take action, and to take action NOW. Being determined, it becomes a lot less difficult to dedicate the little amount of time I have into Internet Marketing!

Niche Selection:
I strayed away from Weight Loss and Fitness, too many people grabbing for sales there.
I selected a niche that capitalizes on a problem that a person may experience, which causes pain or discomfort on a constant basis, that the individual wants to resolve with a passion.
Amateur Blog/Personal Journey:
I am currently working on a "personal blog" of a fake persona that I created. So far I've completed the introduction, which relays my persona's "story" of conflict and discomfort, his trials and tribulations, and finally, his determination to rid himself of prior mentioned problem. The persona now encompasses himself in a "week by week" journey to resolve the problem while attempting to provide others with any solutions or complications that he runs into.
The blog is intentionally made to look completely amateur. Green background, Light Green post background, larger than usual text, clip art illustrations.
The introduction page has a button to the "following week" above the introduction and below it. The call to action here, is to get the user to read on to the next page. I consider this to be a micro commitment, make the person feel like he/she has engulfed themselves on a journey. Allow the person on the other end of the screen to find the solution, allow them to "hunt" for it. Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, the user is interacting with your page. Keep the posts fairly short, we don't want to scare them away.
My introduction page set up:

Those are the exact colors that I used.
I will now end my post with a quote:

I am too.
I've been a frequent member here at Black Hat World, for many years.
I originally began reading Black Hat World in pursuit of methods to establish a larger fan base during the time that I was doing music, after learning more; I JVed with a member in the past via adsense split. We made pretty good money which led to us partnering in the development of a mobile marketing platform via SMS. Things were going great! It wasn't until Google shutdown our Adsense accounts, and my uncle needed financial assistance with his store (which led to the loss of funding on the marketing platform) that I began to struggle. A year passed by and I used the knowledge that I obtained over that year to create a Nightclub Promotions business, this business went on to last me approximately 3 years and made me anywhere from $700-$1900 a week. I could not believe what I was able to accomplish!
The problem was gone, I was doing phenomenal!
