My name is Gaida Rodgers and many of you may know me as GaidaR or egold. I am also a mother and sole parent rearing a teenager which is very rewarding but also challenging.

It’s amazing reading through Mona’s bio as our life path has been similar in so many ways.
I also had those early horse crazed years and was raised in the country until I moved to the seaside at the age of 8 which created challenges but also opened up so many new opportunities for myself and our family.

I’ve also sold my hand crafted items…painted glass & greeting cards at craft shops, craft fairs and markets…. And been involved in Amway and Mary Kay.

One of my passions is fundraising which I have been involved with over the years and know how hard it is to raise money. One of my goals is to enable fundraisers to use the power of the internet to help them raise their much needed funds.

Over the years blogging has allowed me to share my knowledge with my readers as author of several blogs, websites and ebooks. I ‘ve also been involved with paid blogging…( I’m sure Mona introduced me to that side of blogging).

My blogs include:
Scrapbooking Magic - Allows my creative side to evolve
Online Mastery Gold - Internet Marketing Tips & Resources
Beauty Insider Secrets - Sharing beauty tips learned from my Mary Kay consultancy.
Self Growth Discovery – Words for Self Growth and Encouragement
LifeStyle Discoveries – A mixture of everyday living including recipes, savings & work from home opportunities & local news.

I've learnt Webdesign, the secrets to multiple streams of income including Affiliate Marketing, Private Label, Resale & Master Resale Rights, viral marketing & ebooks. I studied copywriting and recently completed Financial Services Cert III….And discovered many hidden talents I never knew I had which has allowed my creativity to unfold.

Little did I realise what would reveal itself along my journey into Internet Marketing. And yes... it certainly has been a 'Journey of Discovery'. I've met wonderful creative and helpful people along the way and many new friends.

One of those friends is Mona who I met online a few years ago in a local forum. Keeping in touch I was thrilled when Mona asked me to join her in this exciting new venture and believe we compliment each other with our shared knowledge and experiences.

The internet opens up so many opportunities, for each and every one of us, to work from home and I want to share the knowledge I've gained with you to help you along your own ‘Journey or Discovery’.
