Hello From Texas ..
Hi,
My name is Brandon. I currently work as a Financial Analyst in Houston Texas. I came across on-line marketing about a month ago and I have been researching vigorously ever since. I'm looking for a way to make some extra income, and eventually make a living as an on-line marketer through niche blogs and sites. I’m really looking forward to absorbing a lot of knowledge through this forum and hope to share my analytical and creative ideas in the future. I am ready to jump in and make this thing happen!!!

Hi, welcome. I am also from Houston.
Quite a few Houstonians here but I have been trying to get an informal TX get together for ages.
Hope you stick around

As a former financial analyst, I can say that affiliate marketing is a lot more fun.

Fellow Texan here too! Small town in Panhandle called Shamrock, TX. Long way from Houston, I think it takes about 9 hours to get to Houston from here.
I have been working on affiliate marketing for a couple of years, but have had lots of distractions, you know life happens. I am glad to be able to have time to focus on it again.
Welcome from your fellow Texan

Sure. You just can't use "Y'all" or any variation of it. That's reserved for us Texans.

Texans in Heaven 
Gabriel came to the Lord and said " I have to talk to you. We have some
Texans up here in Heaven who are causing problems. They're swinging on
the pearly gates, my horn is missing, barbecue sauce is all over their
robes, their dogs are riding in the chariots, and they're wearing
baseball caps and cowboy hats instead of their halos. They refuse to
keep the stairway to Heaven clean. There are watermelon seeds and pig
feet bones all over the place. Some of them are walking around with just one wing."
The Lord said, "I made them special, Gabriel. Heaven is Home to all my
children. If you really want to know about real problems, let's call the Devil."
The Devil answered the phone, " Hello? Damn, hold on a minute."
The Devil returned to the phone, "O.K., I'm back. What can I do for you?"
The Lord replied, "I just want to know what kind of problems you're having down there."
The Devil said, "Hold on again. I need to check on something."
After about 5 minutes the Devil returned to the phone and said, "I'm
back. Now what was the question?"
The Lord said, "What kind of problems are you having down there?"
The Devil said, "Man, I don't believe this....Hold on, Lord."
This time the Devil was gone 15 minutes. The Devil returned and said ,
"I'm sorry Lord, I can't talk right now. Them damn Texans done put out
the fire and are trying to install air conditioning."

Did you hear about the Texan who died and they couldn't find a coffin any where on earth big enough to bury him in?
They finally gave him an enema and buried him in a shoe box.

I had a literature teacher way back in middle school from Louisiana, and if there's one thing I learned from her, it's that people from Louisiana have the right say "Y'all" just as much as the Texans do. Me I've been living up North for awhile, but I'll still use the rest of the quote... |

Welcome to ABW & the wild world of affiliate marketing, Brandon!
What's the real difference between a Yankee zoo and a Texas zoo?
On the cage, a Yankee zoo has the name of the animal and then the proper Latin name.
A Texas zoo has the name of the animal and a finger-lickin' recipe for it!
Somethin' else us Yankees need to know:
In a small Texas town there was a "Nativity Scene" that showed great skill and talent in its creation. However, there was one feature that I simply couldn't figure out: the three Wise Men wore firemen's helmets. Later on, I stopped at a store in town and asked the saleslady about the helmets. She rolled her eyes clear 'round their sockets & yelled at me, "You darn Yankees never do read the Bible!"
I told her that I most certainly did but couldn't recall anything at all about firemen. She took out her Bible from under the counter, flipped through it and found the correct passage. Triumphantly, she stuck it in my face & said "See, it says right here, 'The three wise man came from afar.'"

Welcome aboard, BJK
I am not from Texas, but have been there a few times.
Actually, my wife, who is also my business partner, is in Houston tonight.
"Y'all" is a legitimate word in our language also. Wouldn't know how to talk without it.
