Download complete, and even at this stage, it's obvious PotPieGirl is a pro.
No sooner had I signed up for the exclusive OWM-owner email updates than I got two emails – one with a bunch of useful links that I checked out and put straight into my new OWM bookmark folder, the other with a tip for coming up with ideas to get me started.
So, even before I open the One Week Marketing Guide, I've had a taste of what I can expect. I'm equipped with a link to a page where I can ask Jennifer a question; a list of FAQs for new OWMers; some free tools and resources; and examples of Squidoo lenses built using OWM.
I'm all set.

I'm Skybound. Here's why
When I chose my online name, I wanted something to inspire me, something to express my desire to make a success of internet marketing. From what I've learned, with the web as your marketplace, the sky truly is the limit. You can make megabucks. All you need is to get focused and get your butt into gear.
I came into internet marketing thinking I had an unfair advantage over many people in the same position. See, I'm a professional copywriter with many years' experience in the offline advertising business. Writing is second nature to me. As is research, getting to know products and understanding your target audience. I'm also a fast and enthusiastic learner. I soon discovered that these pluses were no advantage whatsoever.
The truth is anyone can make it in internet marketing. But only if you have a plan of action. Three months after I joined Wealthy Affiliate University I realised I still didn't have a plan. I'd crammed my brain with tons of new info and overloaded my bookmark toolbar with a catalogue of tools and resources. But I hadn't made a dime.
A lot of people talk about information overload when they come into internet marketing. Fact is, you could go on learning and bookmarking for ever. The most important thing is to get started earning while you keep learning.
Listening to my own advice at the start of 2010, I made a decision I'd been pondering for a while. I invested $47 in One Week Marketing by PotPieGirl (Jennifer Ledbetter).
I figured that if I was going to live up to the promise of my online name, I needed help. I'd thrashed around without a plan for too long. One Week Marketing seemed to offer me the structure and direction I was lacking. I'd read the sales page for One Week Marketing months ago. I'd downloaded the freebie Jennifer offers when you join her mailing list – the first 18 pages of the One Week Marketing Guide. I was impressed. But not impressed enough to part with $47 right off the bat.
Besides, with my background and experience and commitment, I was pretty sure I had everything I needed to give my online marketing career a flying start. Why spend the cash?
But three months later, when I read once again how PotPieGirl started out with the same determination to make it work, then spent the next six months getting nowhere, I knew I'd learned my first lesson.
My aim with this blog is to share my progress through One Week Marketing. I won't be giving anything away that PotPieGirl would prefer me not to. You'll get my personal opinion and an account of how I'm applying what I learn. I'm writing this partly for me – because I know it will keep me on track and force me to think about what I'm doing and why. But I'm also doing it for you. If you're new to internet marketing and want to see what investing $47 in a fistful of PDFs can do for your dreams, pull up a chair.
