Default I'm a new

Hi, my name is Tom and I'm 57 years young and going backwards.
I've spent most of my life in the the motor vehicle industry first as a technician and then as a lecturer/assessor.

Over the last few months I've thought of another form of income - hopefully from the internet doing marketing, therefore I've joined the forum to learn, watch and listen to see if it is possible.
You hear so much about people making thousands even millions of pounds and I'm curious to see if it's true and if I can catch the bus and earn as well.
Thats where I am....
Any help and advice is most welcome.
Thanks Tom

Welcome aboard Tom.

Age is no barrier here, from pimply youff's to seasoned pro's.

A lot of people are drawn to online business thinking it's a short cut to success and megabucks, but the reality is it's no different from any other business. Its takes hard work, and you need a good product, service (or possibly even message) to sell.

But there is money to be made, just steer clear of any "buy my guide to instant wealth" or get rich quick schemes. They're all cobblers.

Hope you find our humble forum useful and if you need any pointers or want to bounce any ideas, just fire away, as Paul says, we've got people from all sorts of backgrounds, industries and countries.

Well Tom, the internet, and marketing is wide open, Tons of people are generating money, and serious money. You only need to poke around and be coachable. Beware, there are also TONS of on-line businesses that will relieve you of your money and you get nowhere.

It takes time and dues to figure it out. Don't spend much money in the beginning, there are lots of FREE tools and systems out there. Talk to someone who is successful.

Welcome Tom. I'm glad you could join us. There is a myriad of posts you could read through here that would give you a lot of insight, but if you do get stuck, just give us a shout and we'll see if we can help out. IM is hard work, but can be really rewarding.

Hope to chat soon on the forum.
