sarahheck.....Yes I believe your right in that this isn't rocket science but you just need backbone.

I know I am new here, but I have been completely fascinated with so many aspects of the real estate world recently, as I sit around all day waiting to hear back on a job I applied for.

More than could be covered in a discussion here.Direct response marketing has been refined down to a science.

I have yet to buy a home for myself, but I am fascinated by real estate investing and want to pursue it further.

It ain't rocket science, but there is a science to it.Tim

So I went the "normal" route of obtaining science degrees that would never provide the freedom and money I wanted (not needed).

It is not rocket science or all that difficult.

If I had to get a job again, some possibilities would be: teach English in Japan or some other foreign country that allows me to experience travel and different cultures, become a firefighter, go back to school for a master's in another subject in a science discipline so it's free, I'm great in any sort of sales role and I wouldn't even have a problem doing something like selling cars, hell even bartending would be more enjoyable than this.Also regarding the Google algorithms etc, I don't do any SEO for exactly that reason...my traffic is all paid traffic, so I have far more control, and I advertise on affiliate-friendly sources with essentially no compliance guidelines or restrictions of any kind...I focused on these because I thought they would be more long term than continually getting banned from and then defrauding Google, Facebook, etc. like most big affiliates do.

This was a very fascinating thread.

I am 24 yrs old from Knoxville,TN and graduated a couple years ago with a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration.
