Intro

Hi,

Greetings again from Montego Bay, Jamaica!

Thank God, I got rid of my first exams earlier in the month, whew!

But not much rest, I already receive new books to get cracking again.

Working and studying is certainly not for the weak- but I am thankful for the opportunity.

Anyways, as you guess, lots are happening in Jamaica and don't even ask about the website, IT IS RRRROCKING!!

January 2009 is now officially the most successful month (thus far) for the site, despite the recession - talk about a true recession proof business.

In fact, I created a special page to: 1) promote my business even more, and 2) "show off" the sucessess. The truth is, many still don't get it.

If you care, you can take a look here.
https://www.my-island-jamaica.com/online_business.html.

And speaking of the site, I have also received some excellent feedback from visitors to the island (and to the site) and will share them with you.

All that, plus MORE is in this issue, just make sure you read right to THE END.

Promise?

OK partner.

...let's get rolling!
