Hey Guys,

I'm Sean, 20 years old from Victoria, Canada. I wrote a bodybuilding/fitness e-book and have been promoting it online since August of 2005 (Build Muscle | The Truth About Muscle Gain). I also do some affiliate marketing.

I was recently at the University of Victoria but hated every minute of it. Classes, lectures, textbooks, notes, alarm clocks .... Not for me.

Based on the success of my first website I've decided to pursue internet marketing as a fulltime job. I plan to create many more products over the coming months and years and am really excited about it.

I'm also really interested in copywriting and am glad to have found this board as I've already learned some really useful stuff.

That's all for now.

Sean

Hi Shona... Shona from Australia here!

Our name is not common in Australia - how about India? In my entire life, I have only met one other Shona, very briefly when I was 8 years old.

Glad to meet another.

Glad to read your post shona So we have names in common wow! It seems exciting to me what about you..

Shona here in India means one who is sweet and close to heart so what does it mean in Australia? Do let me know.. Can we be net friends? If yes do let me know the same.

Happy Writing here @ copywriters board

Yes... it is kind of exciting!
I've grabbed your email - but just a tip... go back to your post and edit it to remove your email. Otherwise you're just going to get spam.

Hi Folks,

I am new to this board so let me tell you a little about myself.

I was originally from Newport News, Virginia. I grew up in Glassboro, NJ. I currently live in Bronx, NY.

I've been writing since I was five years old. I started out writing poetry. Then I went into songwriting. I worked as a stringer for my local newspaper for a while. Then I wrote articles, short stories, and finally books.

I am an author of two books and co-author or ghostwriter, if you will, of a third book, a children's book.

I love writing. It is my passion. I am currently in college where I am earning my Bachelor's degree in English. This is something I wanted to do for ages and finally am doing it.

For anyone who is interested, I work on various projects. I write fiction and nonfiction. My nonfiction consists of web content, ghostwriting, and copywriting. I am always in demand because I am that good. However, I always have room on my schedule for a new client.

As for hobbies, I really don't have any because I spend most of my time writing. I guess you can say wrestling is my hobby. I watch WWE wrestling every week and enjoy that.

I guess that's it for now. I'll check the threads later to see what is going on.

Have a great day.

Harry
