For those of you who don’t know me (though you’re always free to email), within the past year I have been getting more and more involved in the internet marketing realm, specifically with selling information products online. 

A close friend of mine initially introduced me to the internet marketer’s lifestyle and ever since I got a glimpse into this world I haven’t really turned back.

This tactic was especially relevant several months ago when I was introduced to Twitter.
