Tell us how you came to be an Affiliate. What drives a now 19 year old to find info on anoretic drugs and then start a forum.

Do you attend collage? Do you have a full time job? Do you post over at phen.com after reading a reference to it in another thread. If so who are you?

Do you have a steady SO? Does Mom and Dad live close by?

Will you post a picture of yourself so we can see what ya look like?

Cool! I get to tell my story.

I do not have enough money to attend college and my parents have
ZERO. Plus, I don't want to take out student loans and go into some
serious debt. I hope to save up enough money over the years to
go to college for jazz and a couple of business courses.

I'm going to start doing consulting for people around here (Nashville)
who are trying to start small businesses on the internet.

Anyway, I came to be an affiliate because I love working on the
internet and learning new things. I was bored with high school, but
worked pretty hard and got As + Bs. However, most of my time at
home was spent on the computer working as a website designer
for two companies called Five Star 5 and Jersey Visions. Since I was
always working on personal website projects also, I naturally ended
up learning alot about internet business.

My work on the internet is my full time job for now. However, I do
want to start a consulting business on the side pretty soon.

I'm not sure what an SO is... does that mean source of income?
In that case, no I do not. I'm sad to say I could if I spammed people
to try to get them to order from Shoppe.MD, but I want that
business to be around permanently, so I just won't do it.

Right now, I'm trying to get Shoppe.MD into the search engines like
Google, but it is very challenging, especially when almost all the other
online pharmacy sites are spamming personal blogs and using
automated programs to put links to their site on thousands of irrelevant
sites.. Anyway, they just spam and spam until they get visitors for
a few weeks and then disappear.

Besides not liking the spamming method, I don't want people to think
of Shoppe.MD as just an online pharmacy. I want it to be a source of
information.

Its probably going to take at least another year to get much traffic
at all coming to Shoppe.MD or PhenForum.com because it's rare
to get links from legitimate sites.

My mom and dad live in California now, and I'm over here in TN.
I've been in my apartment since November '04.

I'll post a pic in this thread today. For now, I gotta go do yoga and
work out for a while.

I appreciate your interest in my life. Thanks Deb

guess I missed the picture tonight. :( SO means significant other = A person, such as a spouse or lover, with whom one shares a long-term sexual relationship.

also you didn't say, are you a poster at Phen.com and who are ya if so?

I was DebAlexis there.

[Ian]

OH, that's the first thing I assumed about SO, but decided against it lol.

Anyway, I have had a significant other for almost 2 years.. It will be
two years on the 13th of this month... well... sortof :\.. See, she broke
up with me because she doesn't want a serious relationship right now,
since she's 16 and wants to feel free and do whatever with her friends,
whether or not I like it.

However, she still says she loves me alot and calls me every day,
sometimes twice. She's still treating me like we're together, and she
rarely goes out anywhere and definitely isn't seeing anyone else or
showing interest. I'm just hangin in there I guess since I have hope.
She wants to marry me later on, apparently. It's very confusing.

I don't know if I posted on Phen.com, but I could have late one night
asking a question about tolerance or something. Maybe I should
head on over there this week.

Anyway, I'm going to go back to work writing etc.

Sleep well!

oh yeah, I forgot, I will not be posting a pic tonight, but hopefully
tomorrow if i get Photoshop to work right.

[DEB]
