Overview: Randy Smythe's musings on the world of ecommerce, social networking, Web 2.0, Google, Amazon, Yahoo, Squidoo, online marketing and probably a lot of stuff about eBay.
Biography: became a full-time blogger in Sept., 2006 with my first post about my eBay business failure: What is the E! True Hollywood Story About EBay's Former Top Seller Glacier Bay DVD? Since that time, I've learned a ton about blogging, personal branding, online marketing, social networking and persistence. I've spoken with several successful bloggers over the past year and each of them told me, it may take up to 18 months before I make measurable income at this and a full 2 years before it becomes a living. In reality this is not much different then any other business, I've started. It takes, persistence, timing, connections, confidence, ingenuity, lack of fear, creativity and a lot of hard work. [Update: I am now 21 months into this and I am making measurable income; still not rich though]
