Gail GuptonI wear many “hats” in this Internet world. I make my entire living through the Internet. At times I may write about Internet Marketing and the things I’ve learned or heard about or read pertaining to marketing products and services online.

This site contains different sections or “categories” of interest to me and perhaps to you, as well. The knowledge contained herein is from personal first-hand experience, which is the greatest teacher of all. I write what comes from within me, but I also find relative things to share with you.

I love to learn and I’m fascinated with computer technology, although some of the more advanced features are quite intimidating. In 1994, my husband and I put up our first website (webpage is more like it). Early on, I learned about search engine keywords and search engine registration. Things like fonts and graphics and music beds were free at that time – now everything is business!

Video is a hobby and a business. I inherited Video/Graphics which started in 1987, and I keep it going by transferring old home movies to DVD. I also love to edit and create. I do slide shows from photos. When 2 granddaughters spent 6 weeks with me a couple of years ago, I chronicled their out-of-state visit by videotaping their activities. We then sat down together and edited it, sending them home with 3 DVDs for their memory book.

I’m also very passionate about my spiritual growth, the serious journey of which I started in 1982. I had some personal issues to work through at that time and wanted answers; so I searched within for them. The answers were there and came to me during my study of spiritual literature. I’ve since written a couple of books available on Amazon.com. One, The 31-Day Diet of Spiritual Enlightenment, was written in 2 weeks after attending a Christian Booksellers Convention (CBA). It is also available as a digital download.

In 2003, I created an E-Bay store where I sell old vintage costume jewelry. It rapidly grew to the point of my becoming a Power Seller, the status of which I maintain today.  I’ve learned a lot of tips and tricks by joining a ‘group’ of like-minded people – dealers, collectors, etc.

When the economy crashed, a friend and I put up another website to help people live cheaper and more frugally. We became affiliates for a number of companies and offer great deals for people who want to save money, either by “do-it-yourself” or creating a home business for supplemental income, or other ways. There’s a ton of information and products on the Internet for families and seniors and singles. We wanted to do the research for those who may not want to spend the time doing it and so we created a site to help them called, appropriately, Living-On-The-Cheap.

I love to dance (swing and waltz in particular). When I was 13-years-old, my 8th grade teacher was dating a dance instructor from Arthur Murray Studios. Our little town didn’t have much to offer on Friday nights, so the two of them rented a hall and taught our little school class ballroom dance steps. Those teachings have stayed with me all my life.

I won’t tell you how old I am, but I’m a grandmother twelve times over. (Yes, 12 grandchildren!)

Some of my grandchildren are in their 20’s. Some are still pre-schoolers.

But do you really want to know about ME? Or about the things I offer that can help or inform YOU?

When/If I find valuable information about the subjects I like, I’ll post them here to share with you.
