Northern Picker Introduction: A little about myself and my plans for this blog on Steemit
Hello and welcome. My name is Bill Mallory. Iโ€™m a 44 year old guy from Mid-Michigan, located in the USA, who makes a full-time living selling online and locally. I consider myself very blessed to be able to do what I am passionate about for a living. 

I have a beautiful wife, two amazing children who are all grown up now, awesome friends, and a line of work that allows me to spend most of my time with them.

My Story

I used to have several 9 to 5 jobs. I worked for many years in financial services, textile services and in 2010 I was working as a Master Control Room Operator for a major christian TV station. I was really good at my line of work and enjoyed it. Unfortunately there are some things you cannot control (like an economic downturn) and so, in 2010 I was let go.  Just 2 weeks before Christmas of 2010 the company decide to let me go along with 4 other employees to remotely automate the MCR position from another location out of state to save on their budget.

Getting let go was a complete shock. Just 3 weeks earlier I was told by management how much they appreciated me and how I was the best MCR they had ever had. It is amazing. One day you think everything is going great and bam, your out of a job not knowing how to even feel anymore. So, I made a decision not sit around and become depressed about it. I immediately made the decision to work for myself from home and took action by picking and reselling vintage items online through the land of eCommerce and also selling locally.

It turns out that getting shown the door was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. Without my 9 to 5 job holding me back from being who I could be, Iโ€™ve since been able to earn more money and work less with more flexible hours โ€“ which in the end allows me to make, save and accumulate money so I can be around home more and spend time with my family.

SO WHY THE NORTHERN PICKER BLOG ON STEEMIT?

I really want to help as many people as possible learn the techniques and strategies required to make a living online. I will be blogging about Picking, Reselling, eBay, Amazon, Etsy, Selling Locally, along with several other areas of online entrepreneurship, helping people make, save and accumulate money.  I will be sharing my journey of how I turned $300 into a successful online business and how you can do it too.  And what better way to do this than with Community! I am really looking forward to establishing some new relationships and it is my hope that my blog can truly make a difference in peoples lives.

If youโ€™re currently not making money online, not doing business online, but have been kicking around the idea, rather part-time or full-time you have come to the right place.  There is no better time in history to make a living with your own business from home. Today is the day to take action. Today is the day to start!!
