Lurker who finally decided to start posting, Hows it going everyone?

Hey BHW, been a member for quite awhile but really felt like I had nothing to contribute but I feel like I finally want to dive into the world of internet marketing and making money online. My name is Shey Music, I am 21 years old and am currently set to graduate in May 2013 with a degree in Chemistry and Mathematics. Plan to take a year off after graduation to figure out what I want to do with my life and I figured with all of that free time to devote to something new, why not get a head start and really see what I'm made of in the IM world. I hope to find success but it's also for fun as well, not really looking to make a career out of it but some extra money can't hurt. I work at a Boarding High school but that work starts every night so although I do have a full time job most of my days are very open for this new found hobby. I hope I can contribute to this awesome community somehow and just wanted to make my late but needed introduction.

On another note, hows everyone else doing out there?

Good luck I hope you find what you are looking for in the IM world.

PS. Don't take to long off or you could get lost.

Good luck in the IM world, I'm also new hopefully we both succeed.

Thank you both for the kind welcome and supporting remarks, and tompots thanks for the warning. I have been thinking about post graduation life for a long while and to be honest I was set on medical school since I was 8 years old until about a month ago. I guess graduation was just so close and it wasn't a distant dream anymore, it was right upon me and I just wanted some time without the stress of classes and a full schedule to think about it and make sure that's the path I will be happy with for the rest of my life. Luckily my job is indefinite (as long as I want to work at the school I can) and although the pay is meager I love my work, my coworkers and bosses, and most of all I can live (and eat) there during my entire employment so it gives me a much-appreciated opportunity to get the thinking time I need without worrying about finances. I plan to take 1 year off and then start whatever it is I'm going to do, most likely either medical school or graduate school for Chemistry and eventually get a PhD.

Again thanks for the welcome guys, I know I will be happy here and I wish you all success as well.

Good luck, and welcome to this great board

How refreshing to see a new member who has some focus - writes well - makes some friendly comments!

Shey Music welcome on board BHW keep up posting like that you will do great around here!

Wow, thanks for the welcome and the compliments steelballs, I'm always glad to hear my post made someones day a little better.

I do plan to try and establish myself here at BHW even though I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to do that yet. I feel a little overwhelmed by all of the good information here, I have about 20 chrome tabs opened up at the top of my browser of different sections in IM and different threads. I really like to write and already have a little bit of activity on pay to write revenue sharing websites such as Squidoo but I need to expand my horizon for sure because the income from those is consistent but very slow to build up. I've attempted to advertise affiliate links through clickbank with things such as PPC ads and even a twitter post using a social networking gig on fiverr with no luck but now that I have a job that pays decent I hope to have a bit more time and money to invest so I can give it my best shot.

Welcome to BHW.
