I'm New Here And Will Be Honest

   Hi everyone.
   
   I am absolutely new here and I need to be honest.  I am here to make money.  My mentor who I will not mention is a very popular Hubber and makes very good money.  He told me HubPages is a very important tool on wanting to make an income online.
   
   He also told me how to act in HubPages.  He warned me about spamming and so forth.  He told me about making friends, getting involved in the forums and just being a real person.  He also told me that I will make very little money from the wallets of Hubbers but then explained to my why HubPages is so important.
   
   I am an 18 year old trying to make a living online.  My mentor is one of the real people who has taken me by the hand to show me how he makes a living.  Don't worry I haven't quit my day job but one day I know I will.
   
   So, anyways I hope I can be a contributing member of HubPages and I hope my honesty is appreciated because you can bet your bottom dollar I will never deal in shady practices or try and spam the people of HubPages.

         Thats okay.  I'm new to this game and you should be cautious when a new marketer arrives.  I will prove my worth here.  maybe my wording is wrong but I only deal in black and white and no inbetween.

          Clasp your hands together, interlocking your fingers, like the Christians would to pray.
          
          Instead of holding your hands tightly closed, wiggle your fingers about like noodly appendages. Go ahead, do it.
          
          Doesn't that look like our carbohydrate-filled lord?
