You may be wondering who in the world Nancy Radlinger is.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m a divorced grandma living in Wisconsin \u2014 and I absolutely love it here. Although I was born and raised in North Carolina, Wisconsin has been my home for over 38 years.<\/p>\n
After my divorce, my life took an unexpected turn. My ex-husband and I had built a landscaping company from scratch, and when that chapter ended, so did my job. I found myself at that difficult stage \u2014 too young for Social Security, but too old for many employers to consider hiring.<\/p>\n
So I did what I\u2019ve always done. I adapted.<\/p>\n
I kept the mini garden center and gift shop portion of the business and moved it to my home. This gave me the flexibility to work with customers while also spending time in my gardens \u2014 and eventually, exploring something completely new\u2026 the online world.<\/p>\n
And I fell in love with it.<\/p>\n
During this time, I discovered line dancing \u2014 and it became my escape. It gave me a mental break from the stress and a physical outlet that never felt like exercise because it was simply fun. It helped restore my balance during a time of rebuilding.<\/p>\n
My family has always been my anchor.<\/p>\n
My best friend for many years was Bailey, my golden lab. He knew me better than anyone. He could sense when I needed a break and would nudge me until I stopped working and played ball with him. Bailey went to Doggy Heaven, but he will always hold a special place in my heart.<\/p>\n
I also have a wonderful son and granddaughter in Iowa. Time with them is one of my greatest joys.<\/p>\n
My online journey started in the most unexpected way \u2014 cleaning house.<\/p>\n
I began selling items on eBay. At first, it was overwhelming. Learning HTML coding, listing products, and navigating the system was a challenge for this \u201cgranny.\u201d Everything I learned came through trial and error.<\/p>\n
But those lessons were priceless.<\/p>\n
The real turning point came when I discovered the blogging community on eBay. The bloggers there threw me a lifeline when sales were slow and discouraging. They shared knowledge, encouragement, and friendship \u2014 and helped me realize the power of community online.<\/p>\n
That was when I knew this was something bigger.<\/p>\n
Like many beginners, I made mistakes. I trusted the wrong dropshippers. I tried things that didn\u2019t work. I faced setbacks that could have easily made me quit.<\/p>\n
But every mistake taught me something valuable.<\/p>\n
When eBay sellers began realizing the danger of relying on a single platform, many of us started exploring other opportunities. That\u2019s when I discovered social networking, affiliate marketing, and traffic exchanges.<\/p>\n
At first, I was skeptical.<\/p>\n
But I quickly learned something important:<\/p>\n
This works \u2014 if you\u2019re willing to work.<\/p>\n
Then one day, something unexpected happened.<\/p>\n
I have always loved hummingbirds. My home and gardens are filled with them. So when I stumbled across a traffic exchange called Hummingbird Hits and saw that it was for sale, it felt like fate.<\/p>\n
On November 11, 2008, I bought Hummingbird Hits.<\/p>\n
That moment changed everything.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t know exactly what I was doing \u2014 but I knew I was willing to learn.<\/p>\n
Not long after, I fell in love with traffic exchanges even more and eventually acquired Zaney Clicks. These sites became more than just businesses \u2014 they became my passion, my purpose, and my community.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve never believed in promoting something that I don\u2019t personally use or believe in.<\/p>\n
Everything I share, everything I build, and everything I promote comes from my own experience.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t flood people with invites.<\/p>\n
Instead, I share my journey \u2014 the mistakes, the lessons, and the successes \u2014 so others can decide what path is right for them.<\/p>\n
Because this isn\u2019t just about earning online.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s about independence.
It\u2019s about proving to yourself that you can rebuild.
It\u2019s about discovering strength you didn\u2019t know you had.<\/p>\n
Even after all these years, I\u2019m still learning.<\/p>\n
And I still love what I do.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t mind working long hours, because this isn\u2019t just work \u2014 it\u2019s something I built. Something I believe in.<\/p>\n
Most importantly, I had something to prove.<\/p>\n
Not to anyone else.<\/p>\n
But to myself.<\/p>\n
And I did it.<\/p>\n
