My Testimonials
I have received quit a lot of testimonials. Although there are some among those probably posted to earn credits but hey, they could have picked any other of the 180K members here! I know that many are posted spontaneously. Among those from people I respect highly and of which I know they don't give them to just anybody. So I am pretty proud of them. And I thank every one who took the time to write one.
I wrote on several occasions about success should not be measured in $$ alone. Especially not when you start out as a newbie like I was when I went global in 2010.
Back than I had hardly been on any social site. Social media marketing was new to me, so were traffic exchanges. Not many business use them in the Netherlands except for some PTC sites. Surfing the exchanges for the first time was hilarious the first time where I saw numerous sites promising to make me wealthy where no experience was needed and where I could earn money doing almost nothing.
That does not work in the real word and I did not believe it would work in the online world.
I joined some things of which some of them I am still involved in today, some I un-joined later. But I spent most of my time reading a lot, doing some research and building an online presence.
I have learned a lot since I started and gained insights from behind the scenes in certain programs and from chats in skype rooms.
Did I earn something in $? Yes, I used them to cover costs and to invest in upgrades and advertising. I am now making a small profit. It would have been much more if I did not make a misjudgment on a programs potential I was in for 2 years and spent a lot of time on. I made 0 money there but learned a lot so it was not a total waste.
As for giving out testimonials, I do not do that very often. I need to know what exactly I am endorsing and that is only possible in my opinion if you have tried the service yourself or in case it is a person, you worked with him/her or had a lot of personal contact through mail or skype.
