Greetings,
I felt it was essential for the most important person reading my blog - YOU - to know exactly why I started populating the blogosphere with my own pages.
I have 4 reasons.
Reason #1: I enjoy teaching, and I'd like to do more of it.
Over the last twelve years, I have done hands-on Internet marketing for clients in dozens of industries. Twelve years is a long stretch in "Internet time." Enough to make plenty of mistakes and learn from them.
In recent years, I have had several opportunities to teach others what I've learned.
And frankly, I loved it.
Many clients, business colleagues, and friends also say I am an effective teacher, so I am attempting to move more toward that goal.
Ideally, this blog is a platform to allow me to do some "written" teaching, toss around some new ideas that are rattling around in what little grey matter I have left, and finally, to get some local exposure for what I want to do more of: Internet marketing education, consulting, seminars, and corporate training.
Reason #2: To generate income from consulting and speaking.
Yes, you will see some shameless promotion on my blog, but I hope you'll be convinced (after awhile at least) that I do know what I am talking about. Maybe you'll consider hiring me for a speaking or training or consulting gig.
Reason #3: To generate income from stuff on my blog.
As you'll notice, I do have some affiliate offers on the site. No, these are not just the products with the highest payouts from Clickbank or CJ. I only recommend and promote companies and products that I have either worked with directly or who have come highly recommended from colleagues or experts I respect. If you think the offers are lousy, then please tell me about it. I want your feedback.
Reason #4: To help YOU.
I really do enjoy helping people succeed. I just feel empowered. I guess that's just how God made me.
Thanks for visiting Darby Works, and drop me a line anytime.
Best regards,
Eric Darby
