I have a desire to share what I learn and to help others by offering advice based on experience and what I've read. I also working on my website . I need some advice as to what not to do how to market myself to the best of my ability. How do I counteract anyone who use my age as some sort of stereotype. I believe I am as competent as any blogger out these. How do I prepare for those critics.
