I've been doing it ever since eBay was in its infancy(although it was used video games back then to finance my new ones), and let me tell you - nothing quite beats the rush you get when you make money online!
Since then, I've opened two online stores and have learned more by experience than I think I would have any other way possible. Teaching people is my passion, and I've been blogging about ecommerce and my experiences selling online over the past year.
I grew up in New York City, and after the 10th grade, I went to an Arabic Academy in India where I earned my Bachelors degree in Arabic Literature. Growing up, I was a computer geek - I remember using AOL to get on the internet, and also remember when Hotmail was the latest and greatest thing!
Having a non-professional or vocational degree, I have tried to diversify my portfolio as much as I can with regards to generating income. I love anything and everything about making money online: ecommerce, blogging, freelancing, writing, and consulting. I've also dabbled in real estate, too.
