As I said, Shawn is a very nice and helpful colleague and business partner. We have worked together on some blog posts, to the full satisfaction of us both and I can recommend you to hire Shawn anytime to write articles for your website.
One of his websites is called “Just Build It Now”, and it doesn’t matter where you build your website, just start with it. Our future and the future of our children is as much online as offline. And the sooner you grab your opportunity to be a success and be part of the online world, the better. Either for an income or just for the fun. Just start with it!

I have asked Shawn to cooperate with me for this interview and he was willing to answer 10 of the 25 questions I did send him. These are his answers. Thank you so much, Shawn! All questions are listed on the intro page for these interviews.
Enjoy meeting my colleague and friend Shawn Martin.

I played around with the older website builders in the 90’s and early 200’s but until 2012 I had really no experience building websites. WordPress was a whole new experience for me and it was an easy platform to learn. I would say my first real website creation was when I was around 35
*Note of Loes: Shawn’s second website “Help With Payday Loan Debt”. Of Course, both websites are SSL secured through the free service of Wealthy Affiliate.

I am definitely a bathroom singer!

This is a very easy question to answer. The lifestyle I lived up until my 50’s was one filled with hard living. Thus, I really think I will have passed on by then, but you just never know! If I am still here I would imagine at that age I would just be working online as a hobby. Possibly writing books maybe. 🙂

I do remember my first blog post! It was about how to replace a set of windshield washers! When I first started at WA there were no free websites. We had to use either the Blogger or the Squidoo platform to create our blogs until we could afford our own website and I started an auto repair how to site on blogger.

The most difficult part of the writing process was to find the best spell checker I could! I am terrible at spelling and at sentence structure but yet I am great at writing, go figure, lol.

I guess my favorite animal would be a cat. I love dogs but they are so high maintenance compared to my cats, and my cats sleep with me, lol
.
I really like to have my own private workspace and I do as I have converted a whole attic space in our 100-year-old house into my office area. I am able to see out the only window from my desk and I am happy!
.
This is a hard question to answer. I do not like anger and try to stay in a positive space but I guess my biggest sore spots are abusive people. I can not stand wars and bullies and child sexual abuse is at the very top of my list of people’s actions that anger me. I also am angered by the lack of respect people are developing towards each other.
.
What makes me really happy is seeing success in myself and in others. I really like how people will light up when they see they have accomplished something they thought they could not do.
I am the most passionate about being a good person. It is very important for me to do the best of my ability in everything I try to do.

I agree that the most difficult part of writing is grammar and spelling. I am really not good at it. Always seem to have grammar mistakes. But thanks to the tool Site Content offered by Wealthy Affiliate, it does help a little on my content. Otherwise it can be worse. I can vouch that WA is indeed a great program to start affiliate marketing. Fit even newbies who have zero experience!

Hi Florence, thank you, I know how difficult grammar can be, I am not a native English speaker and I have a lot of problems with that too. I have installed the free Grammarly app though, that’s very helpful. You find this app and some more tips on my article about better business writing skills
Success with your writing 🙂

I have been working in the online world for some time now and I find it very rewarding. Earning a living from the internet is perhaps the best feeling in the world because you are independent and work on your own terms. There is just something about not having to deal with a dead end job and a boss that is truly liberating. When starting out I advise everyone to have someone like Shawn Martin or Loes in their corner. I wouldn’t be where I am today if I didn’t have a mentor.

Thank you Lev, I think it’s also very important to have a bit of mentoring to hold your back. And I am very glad with the helpfulness of community of Wealthy Affiliate, they really have been a great addition to my online success.
