As a camera-shy introvert, my journey online has been an interesting one.
For 32 years, I worked in a car dealership and felt “stuck” there all day. Have you ever felt stuck at a job that you wanted to escape? If so, you may want to hear my short story.
When I was there, I could not leave the building until 5:00, and even then, I could not leave if new customers came through the door. This was common because that was the time of day when everyone got off from work and came to look at cars.
Because of this, I spent all my “off” time trying to figure out ways to earn from home.
I was looking for ways to escape this daily “jailhouse.” So, I would stay up late until the wee hours of the morning, and I could barely keep my eyes open. After the kids had gone to bed, I searched for online opportunities.
I remember never wanting to go to sleep because I knew that if I did, it would be time to go back to the jailhouse building again.
And the whole thing would start all over. I even went to college part-time to get a degree in psychology. I studied marketing online.
I also spent years studying personal development courses to help me overcome my many fears.
But because there were so many other distractions…
By the time I got back to whatever I was working on, it didn’t make sense anymore. I would have a new idea, and I would start over. Again.
Eventually, I left and went into real estate. Mistakenly, I thought this would solve my “freedom” problem.
It did not! I was now taking real estate calls at all hours of the night. 
If I didn’t answer the phone, someone else would. And I would lose the sale. I found myself venturing into unfamiliar neighborhoods with strangers in the dark.
Twice, my car got flooded, working its way through heavy rainfall.
After a decade of these experiences, I told myself, “Okay, so this is not the answer. “
But then, after Covid hit, I decided to take advantage of the quarantine and take some marketing courses. I spent five years creating my courses at every chance I got. “I know. I’ll share my knowledge and sell online courses,” I thought.
But then it came time to “sell” those courses, and I realized I had a problem—a big problem. I was terrified of going “public.” I found myself incapable of getting on camera and doing live-streaming videos.
I didn’t want to share my private life with the public.
I finished my courses while navigating menopause, and then, one day, I looked in the mirror. And now I was old. “Oh, this will help me want to get on camera,” I thought.
NOT.
“Oh, I know. I will design websites and sales funnels.” This is the solution to everything, right?
Wrong. Why? Because I was diagnosed with arthritis, it became increasingly difficult to navigate those fine details. I loved it, but my hands did not.
Then, one day, I realized something I wish had occurred to me long before. It became so apparent that it hit me—BIG.
I could recommend other people’s products and services and wouldn’t have to get on camera.
At least not nearly as much. I wouldn’t have to deal with customer service. I didn’t even need to create digital info products if I didn’t want to… And I didn’t need to spend hours typing on the computer. This is called affiliate marketing, and I was already familiar with it.
In the past, I would question and doubt if what I was promoting was helping people. My conscience would stop me in my tracks. Eventually, I began to run across some high-quality programs that I knew people would benefit from. So, I decided to give it another try.
If I chose this path, I would not need to be responsible for running an entire digital info product business. I wouldn’t need to get on camera to sell anything. All I had to do was send people to the experts who would sell for me.
So, then I wondered, “What was I to do with all those courses I created?”
It would be a waste and sad not to share them with others who could benefit. After all, they contained 20 years’ worth of valuable information about creating digital info products—knowledge that I had spent thousands of dollars to learn.
I might not have been an extrovert expert marketer, but one thing was for sure…
I knew a lot about graphic design, web design, and digital information products because I love creative projects online. And if there was a way to avoid being on camera, I found it.
So, I decided to do the unthinkable.
I decided instead of selling all these courses as “high-ticket” programs (as was recommended to me by the experts…) I could GIVE THEM ALL AWAY to anyone who took me up on any of my recommendations. This way, I could still get a monthly, recurring residual income. And teach my audience to do the same.
I could still share all those valuable skills with others. At the same time, I could refer my audience to the experts with teams of people to help them.
I could refer them to people who were far more successful than me. I could share courses, software, and programs that I knew would help them and bypass the ones that did not pass the “conscience” test.
By then, I had tried so many things that I knew what a reputable company was and what was not.
So, I created a valuable course that I would give away for 100% FREE!
A course that would give people helpful information and even teach some precious skills. Throughout the course, I made recommendations for quality products and services. The people who checked it out could take me up on those offers if they wanted, but nothing was required, and there were no obligations.
If they did take me up on them, I would give them ALL my other courses as bonuses.
If not, no hard feelings. I knew I was helping people, and I knew what I was offering would be precisely what some people wanted and needed. For the others, I shared information and skills that they could use for the rest of their lives.
This set right with my conscience.
That is when I realized that my conscience had been a big part of what held me back. I was always worried about the person on the other end of the transaction.
It was important to me to make things better for them and not worse. Of all the courses I had taken throughout the years, some improved, and some did not. I never wanted to be one who caused more harm than good.
This brings me to an offer I want to make immediately—an offer you would surely not want to turn down. Unless, of course, you don’t like to learn valuable online skills. (And some people don’t.) I get that.
But if you like learning valuable skills that can help you earn online…
I want to give you the FREE course created just for you.
And yes, it is 100% FREE. If you take me up on any of my recommendations, that would help me tremendously, and I am sure that we will all be happy. You would be helping my three precious granddaughters, which, truth be known, is my reason for everything.
If you do take me up on my recommendations, I know that they will be exactly what you are looking for and need. And if you do not, I still wish you the best.
But I do ask you only one thing…
Please only use the skills that I teach you for the good. One of my greatest desires is to help make the world a better place for my children and grandchildren, your children and grandchildren, and generations to come.
I am positive that these skills can help you no matter which path you choose in life or what you decide to do with the rest of your life.
Does that sound fair? If so, get that free course now.
It is called “Personal Developers.” And I look forward to getting to know you on the other side.
Either way, I wish you many blessings today and every day!
