It&#8217;s been so long since I&#8217;ve written a blog post, it really feels like I&#8217;m starting out from scratch here. 
There&#8217;s a couple of reasons why I decided to have a &#8220;do-over&#8221; of my internet marketing career. 
The first reason is simple&#8230; it&#8217;s in my blood. I tried to walk away. I tried to do [...]

<p>It&#8217;s been so long since I&#8217;ve written a blog post, it really feels like I&#8217;m starting out from scratch here. </p>
<p>There&#8217;s a couple of reasons why I decided to have a &#8220;do-over&#8221; of my internet marketing career. </p>
<p>The first reason is simple&#8230; it&#8217;s in my blood. I tried to walk away. I tried to do other things, like concentrate on niche markets, be just a service provider to others, and I can&#8217;t do it. I love building websites, creating products, testing new traffic methods, and sharing what I find with anyone who will listen. </p>
<p>The second reason is just as simple&#8230; I love helping people. I&#8217;ve been at this a long time, and although I&#8217;ve never reached &#8220;guru&#8221; status (and never wanted to either), I&#8217;ve learned a bit on my trips around the internet marketing block. I love being able to answer questions, share the things I learn, and know that even if just one person &#8220;gets&#8221; what I&#8217;m trying to say and it helps them, I&#8217;ve had a good day. </p>
<p>Someone asked me yesterday why I was in internet marketing and this is what I told them:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not really in internet marketing for the money. I do it because it&#8217;s something I can&#8217;t not do. I love trying new things, testing to see what kind of results I can get, helping people&#8230;. Helping people is a really big one for me &#8212; I get a real charge out of seeing someone &#8220;get it&#8221;. The look on their face when the light bulb goes on is a beautiful thing and even though I&#8217;m not very good at being a people person, when I do get a chance to help someone out, it just makes my day.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>What I hope for this new version of The Ritchie Report is that it helps you &#8220;get&#8221; internet marketing. I hope that you find the information that you need here, and that if you don&#8217;t find the answer you&#8217;re looking for, you&#8217;ll feel comfortable enough to ask questions. The hardest thing I find about blogging in any form is to know what to write about. So please, feel free to tell me what you want to know and I&#8217;ll do my best to make sure that you get the answers you need. </p>
<p>So please, don&#8217;t be a stranger. Introduce yourself, say hi, tell me what you need help with and we&#8217;ll take it from there. Oh yeah, and do leave me a link to your blog so I can return the visit.</p>
