Hello, hello!
Glad to join such a big community of internet savvy people!
I've browsed these forums for months and figured I might as well join for real.
----------
Thought I'd also add a little bit about why I'm here.
I've been looking at alternative ways to make money (as I'm sure many, MANY people on BHW) and ran into some of beginnings of internet marketing a few months ago. I used to do work in cabling. Worked in all kinds of locations around the city I live in, but I was still kind of the new guy there. After a few new construction projects, one of which I had to stand on top of a basket of a 30 foot fully extended scissor lift to move 3 cables across rafters, I decided that this job just isn't worth it. I was also in college during this time, but I had to put that on hold both due to covid and the spike in cost transitioning from community college to a university. Instead I have been doing freelance/gig work (like Doordash) while looking and learning about better opportunities. I've made a few bucks here and there, nothing remotely to being sustainable, but now I can't even work these types of jobs anymore after an accident that happened last week. (The back, driver side tire popped off the rim while I was on the highway. Flung me straight off the road with a hard right into a downward sloping hillside that had a sharp dip in the ground before rising back up again. My car flipped over as soon as it hit that dip in the ground. I came out without any injuries but the car is not worth fixing.) (And yes, this also occurred during the sudden flash freeze in Texas.) I'll also skip talking about the unstable environment I'm in and just say that things have been really rough-- still moving forward.
I know this place isn't a magic wand for success, but being pointed in the right direction is a big help.
Hoping for the future.

Good luck, good luck, in everyone's pursuits.
