About

Hi, I’m Julie

I live in New York City.

I’ve been an IT professional for the last 13 years and what a run that was! I spent most of those years as a contractor and worked IT in a number  of industries and for some pretty big firms.

The downside to being a contractor (if there is one really) is at the end of a contract – when it’s time to start looking for a job or have one lined up before the current contract ends.  As a technician, I was never out of work for very long. But, the last economic downturn changed the playing field – I was looking for work for over a year.

So why internet marketing?

I love IT but after my last assignment, I felt it was time for the next revolution.

At my last job, I was sometimes allowed to work from home. As my contract came to an end, I started investigating work from home opportunities and internet marketing seemed the best fit.

I bought e-books, joined membership sites to educate myself. What I was missing was a coach. After about 3 months of “winging it”,  I started training with a few coaches who showed me different marketing techniques and I came across a coach who is training me to run a business.

Enter Alex Jeffreys

I created a blog to document my journey to online success.

Why write about it in a blog?

Well, this is my opportunity to share with you all that I’ve learned and all that I am learning through Marketing With Alex [Jeffreys].

One of my favorite quotes is:

Learn from other people’s mistakes, you can’t afford to make them all yourself

Some of my background I think I blurted out in  my very first blog post
