I pretty much grew up on the internet. I left public school around 5th grade and studied by myself at home, using the internet as a resource to learn just about anything I wanted to...and I was a real hungry soul. 
Easily my greatest timesink was Yahoo Messengers' chat rooms. Specifically, I was a very active member of the Role Playing Games rooms, or the "User Rooms" of that section. It taught me a lot about writing properly, quickly, and most importantly, creatively. I have since authored a novel...which was destroyed by a Windows XP crash. I've been a Linux user ever since.
None of this was getting me a career, however, so when my father's company went out of business, I decided to head off for College. However, even with FAFSA, my loan totaled out to 8k per semester. On top of that, the "Parent Plus" loan they required totaled to around 6.5K a semester. I signed the loan, as did my parents (who are 60 and 61 [I was adopted when they were 40]), but I soon realized they would never be able to pay it off. So I left college.
Having nothing else to do, I eventually bumped in to this site called "Tycoon Cash Flow". They promised a way to make money online, and it was endorsed by all these companies, etc.
Well, I was suspicious, of course, so I Googled "Tycoon Cash Flow scam". What I found is that they were, in fact, not a scam, but the people who ran it weren't particularly intelligent, either. You see, they left their paid members area wide open for a Google search. You can just search "Tycoon Cash Flow member's area" and walk right in.
I watched the videos and learned about how these people were using Clickbank+Google Adwords to make money. Well, after signing up for Google Adwords, I tried promoting some Clickbank products using it...and, of course, it didn't work. So nuts to them.
The point here is that this is how I found out about SEO, and, eventually, landed here at Black Hat World. I've been doing my research and the like, and now I've come down to a rather basic decision; considering my impending loan repayments (which have been on forebearance), I need to pick a method and stick with it.
It's boiled down to two methods; do I work to build content in a Wordpress/Blogspot, building backlinks and getting advertising revenue using Google Adsense (I think I know the right niche/content to produce), or do I seek someone to hire me to do writing in the long term for a pre-existing blog?
For a company which supposedly makes everyone so much money, Clickbank sure doesn't work. >_>
