Hi Von,

That’s quite a compliment coming from you. Thanks for all your help and encouragement along the way!!!
For me success definitely includes helping others. You sure know about that!!! You’re a force to be reckoned with.
Thanks again!
Hi Yvonne,
Great to see all the things you’ve learnt over the last few months, the list of new things I learn grows everyday.
As for creating your own squeeze pages, I tend to borrow templates from MRR/PLR products, and then mould them into my own designs.
To design create a professional looking squeeze page from scratch requires knowledge of CSS as well as HTML… I just leave the template creation to the coders and graphics designers to deal with, it saves a lot of time and stress.
Take care,
Paul
Hey Paul,
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a note! You’re right, using templates is the easiest way to at first.
Blessings,
Yvonne
Yvonne, this is only the beginning. You’re setting an example of how someone with no previous experience or technical knowledge can create success in this business.
Thank you Alex….
I appreciate your kind words. I suppose I never looked at it that way. Thanks for pointing it out!
Respectfully,
Yvonne
There is so much to learn at this… The biggest challenge is to stay focused after taking the plunge. Just eat the elephant buy taking one bite at a time. Then take some action to apply what was learned. As far as integrity is concerned, here are 3 business lessons I learned from a mentor:
1) Do what you say your going to do.
2) Make it easy to do business with you.
3) Don’t be a pain in the butt.
If only everybody in business (or life) lived by these rules.
Steve,
Thank you for stopping by and sharing your words of wisdom!
With appreciation,
Yvonne
