Let me introduce myself…My name is Renee’ Thronson and I am affiliate marketer. Basically what I do is sell other people’s stuff online on a commission basis. I have been actively involved in affiliate marketing since 2000.
Just so that you know that there is a real person behind this blog, I have included my mugshot.
I have made some money with affiliate marketing. It’s just not as easy as some folks would have you to believe. It is WORK.
I’d like to tell you a little bit about my background, mainly to prove that you don’t have to be a big computer guru to become an affiliate marketer. You just have to be willing to learn and to be persistent.
I’m 53 years old and during my lifetime I have worn many hats. I worked 25 years for BellSouth during which time I worked as a directory assistance operator, long distance operator and a sales and service representative. BellSouth is where I was first introduced to computers and was trained. Nothing fancy just using in house programs.
In 1990 I got my first computer, when my then father-in-law gave me his old Tandy computer after he purchased a fancy new computer with Windows 3.0. Slowly I graduated to bigger and better computers and software programs. I am totally self taught. So I feel that if I can master affiliate marketing and computing skills anyone with a computer and willingness to learn can.
Some of the other jobs that I have held during my life time include working out of my home and then later my own retail store as an airbrush artist and then later owning my own screen printing shop, Slick T’s Screen Printing. Those were the Corel years.
To supplement my income through the years I have also worked as a bartender. It doesn’t have much to do with affiliate marketing, but if you have the fixings I can make you a Walk Me Down Sweet Jesus drink 
After retiring from bartending in 2005, I established Pour Me A Shot, a web site which offers free shot drink recipes and bartending information.
I am also the owner of Thronson Marketing, a website publishing company based in Biloxi, MS. which operates a network of web sites in various niche industries.
As far as my personal life….I have lived on the Mississippi Gulf Coast most of my life and yes I even survived hurricane, Katrina. I love art but don’t consider myself much of a painter…I prefer pen and ink. My interests are varied: art, listening to live music, computers, an occasional cocktail, reading, Shetland Sheepdogs, and jewelry making.
There you have it…Renee’…the short version or maybe it wasn’t so short.
