Over the weekend, I ran a survey of all subscribers to PCMech as well as to existing members of PCMech University. I got a lot of great feedback, but one testimonial came in from Miguel in Orlando, FL (last name withheld for his privacy). I thought it was rather inspirational so I thought I would share it:

I first got a PCMech e-mail about 4 months ago. 2 months later I signed up for Gold Membership. I decided that I want to work at home with my Internet business. So far I have 2 customers(I think that is great) and I am trying to apply all the resources, advice, etc. to start building my business. A month ago I got married(my second marriage). My wife has been receiving medicaid for her and her two boys and SSI for her youngest son. After we married, we wanted to do the right thing, so we went to report the extra income in the household. The case worker was screening me and asked me what was my occupation. Although I am a student and make a little income through my banquet server job I told her I was an Internet Entrepreuner(did I spell that right?) well anyway she kind of laugh and said “Is that a real Job”. Since then I am absolutely driven to make my Internet business work and through PCMech I know I can do it!! So far the Medicaid benefits have not been removed from my wife, but I sure would like to go back in about 6 months or a year and tell that case worker that my wife and step kids no longer need public assistance because I am doing just fine with my real Internet business. Thanks Dave for PCMech!! I will keep you up to date on this story.

Very inspiring, Miguel. You’re working hard and striving for success on the Internet. That’s fantastic. I’m proud of you and will do all I can do help in the coming year.

I have HUGE plans for the premium membership program of PCMech as we move into 2009. This week, I am going to share with you what I’m doing and where we’re heading.

Over the course of the next few days, I’m going to release a series of videos. By the end of the week, you’ll know a lot more about the premium program and what’s happening to it.

There are a lot of people like Miguel out there, and based on survey feedback gotten over the weekend, the overriding concern of 2009 is job security and money. People want to make more money. So, I got it! And we’ll deliver – all without losing track of the fact that this is a computer site. Don’t worry, geeks, PCMech is not going all “make money” on you, but I’m going to give people what they want, too.

But, more tomorrow.
