Looking back, it’s realistic for me to say this journey began in 1997 after assembling my first home computer. I responded to an email from a company in Harlow England. They were looking for used computers. At the time the dollar value favored the UK. They were able to profit after product cost, shipping and taxes. I found some product and the commissions were well worth my time. Russell told me that he sent the email out to 20,000 people and I was the only one to respond. With spam being so plentiful today I would have never opened an email like that – good thing I could back then and good thing I did. We began communicating on software called Vox Phone(?), we spoke through our computers while he was in England and I was in my 150 square foot studio in Laguna Beach, CA. (keep in mind, this is 1997. My system was a 386 DX - 16K modem, single vox, etc.) Speaking for free over six hours a day; he explained to me where to find the types of computers they were looking for - This lasted about four months, the dollar moved out of favor and that phase ended. Fortunately, I was able to make many US contacts and continued working with others buying and selling computers as businesses and individuals were becoming Y2K compliant. In 1999 we went from a Pentium 1 to Pentium 4 in a year. New and used product was everywhere as businesses felt the need to keep up with the latest technology. And it was expensive! A P1 worth barely $10 today was $2000 to $5000 in 1998-1999. From that 150 square foot studio I did over 2.3 million in computer sales.After the first quarter of 2000 that wave hit the shore and the ride was over. During this period and after I was learning how to program while working a few office jobs. In 2003 I started hosting websites and was a rep for an online Chiropractic Directory. By 2005 I was all in hosting and developing an online directory for dietitians and therapists. The directories were purchased in 2007. I’ve maintained my hosting company since that time and have worked on numerous website projects. In 2015 I became a member of the Godaddy reseller team. My clients are on top notch platforms as I offer much of the same products at discounted rates.That’s the journey to this point in a nutshell - so much has happened in between these lines - and it continues – thank goodness!Positioned alongside a trusted growth partner to millions of everyday entrepreneurs.JoeUSA.com is part of the world’s largest services platform for entrepreneurs around the globe Dedicated to empower our worldwide community of entrepreneurs anywhere
