Who Is Ana?
My name is Ana Hoffman.
Where to start talking about my wonderful self…
Here is a quick recap (it’s amazing how a quick few sentences can sum up our lives, isn’t it?).
I am a wife to a wonderful husband, a mother to a beautiful and, no doubt, genius little girl, and a successful internet entrepreneur.
I also devoted my life to Jesus Christ many years ago, and He remains my true priority, focus, and hope.
I was born and raised in Communist Russia. I loved growing up there, but I loved the freedom in after-Communist Russia even more.
Now that we can joke about it, here is one for you:
“This is Armenian Radio; our listeners asked us: “What is the difference between the Constitutions of the USA and USSR?” Both guarantee freedom of speech.” We’re answering: “Yes, but the Constitution of the USA also guarantees freedom after the speech.”
In 1996, I moved to the States to climb the “Corporate Ladder”.
Somewhere in there I met my husband – we were married within 3 months and lived happily ever after.
Once I realized that I did not want to trade the quality of life that I always dreamed of for the money, I decided to try modeling.
It was fun while it lasted.
Meanwhile, my husband joined the Air Force and off we went for the next 10 years of our lives.
Along with many days and months spent apart, we also had the best time of our lives living in Europe for a few years.
If you ever need travel advice, I am your gal.
Our daughter was born in 2007, my husband was medically discharged from the military a couple of months after that happy (and painful for me) occasion and the tough times hit.
We were unemployed for an entire year, which as you can imagine was not an easy situation to deal with.
Our circumstances did serve as a spring board for my online career though.
I am not going into details here: I will simply say that for a while I was one of 97% of marketers who spent time and money trying to “make it” to no avail.
The change came when I started educating myself about the industry and the proper way to market my business.
The road was rough and bumpy, but it took me in the right direction.
I will tell you one thing: I’ve been on both sides of the fence. The view on this side is much better and the grass is definitely greener.

Hi Ana,
I love your work and your style, and here’s an idea for you – create tutorials, webinars etc. about achieving the ATMOSPHERE of the site that you’ve managed to achieve! I’m using internet a lot and I can tell you that only a handful of sites have this same, laid back atmosphere that makes the reading experience so pleasurable. Good job!
Now, I’ve found those free vector pics – the subject is coffee – and no, this is not my site or anything like that, it’s just something I’ve found and thought that you might like.http://all-free-download.com/free-vector/coffee.html
Keep up the good vibe!

Thanks Ana. -

Hi Ana, how’s it going?
I was just wondering after checking out your website, (by the way, awesome website) if you accept any type of advertising on your site. I have a product that seems to be a suitable fit for your readers-Thank you!

Hello, LOVE THE SITE!
I am a college student with a class assignment of starting an online business using affiliate links. 6 in the class and this is for the class grade. We are putting together a webpage and blog. None of us have experience in the web much less the blogosphere so challenges await.
The desire is to make money of course but the main emphasis is on the strategy and process. All proceeds go to charity but the knowlege we keep.I sifted through many pages before finding yours and already have more useful info than all of the other sites combined. Any helpful hints on the startup aspect? Thank you! And WE will be back. K-

Sounds like fun, Kurt, and I hope you are quick learners.
What I’d recommend you do is to find a resource that will walk you through all steps of building a blog from scratch. The one that comes to mind is what my friend Kiesha Easley put together after a blogging competition: http://weblogbetter.com/10-week-gameplan-for-a-top-100k-blog/

Hi Ana,
I’m Alive! I have 6 product websites that I have created and sell. Just spend the last 4 days tidying up on-page SEO stuff with immediate improvements, when I hunted down your website *manly grunt*
I really liked your “give a me a like to decode the download’ I have never seen that done before anywhere – what a juicy trick – I wanna know how to do it on my sites (all Wordpress/Thesis/Marketers Delight based). I already have the auto like buttons etc to get Twitter/FB stuff, and all my sites offer free high-value downloads).

Hi Ana,
I’ve been following your blog for a long time and we chatted on the email a year ago.
I was kinda stuck and i thought who might be able to help me and one day just popped into my head: Ana.
I want to launch an eBook for a fashion & lifestyle blog of mine, i have the entire text written, pictures, researches and everything, but i don’t know how to design it to look cool. I don’t know where to look for people who can do that and i hope you might have an answer for this one.
I don’t need anything too complicated, but i would love a pretty simple but fancy design, if this has any sense
) please contact me back Regards,

Hey Ana
What a fascinating story!! I have been following you for a little time now but only stumbled across your story this afternoon because I wanted to email you about something that has been troubling me.
I sensed from the very start that you know your subject, but more importantly, you speak from the heart and that is why I have always listened with both ears unplugged. It was in this vein that I have been studying Danny Iny’s ABM after buying through your link. However, your recent post (and recommendation of) Ryan Deiss seems to be a major contradiction of Danny’s credo. Ok, Danny does mention inviting “well known others” to post on one’s own blog, but it is a minor part (and somewhat downplayed) part of his strategy. It’s difficult to resist the conclusion that Ryan considers the major thrust of Danny’s strategy to be a misleading waste of time. Now please don’t think that I am complaining because I’m not, but I would like you to shine a little beam of clarity on this for me. I can accept a difference of emphasis, but they cannot both be right.
Many thanks (and still a fan!)

Hi Anna
Just saw your blog and wanted to suggest a new free traffic analysis tool that you might like to review/ share with your followers.
It’s called http://www.SimilarWeb.com and it show’s you traffic data on any site as well as a breakdown of the sources (referrals, search, social, mail, direct, etc)
Pretty cool and easy way to find out where your competitors are getting their traffic from.
Let me know what you think!

Hi Ana, Love your posts! I don’t know if you read or not, but if you’re interested, I wrote a Christian fiction book you might like if you’re into reading for enjoyment. Check out the “books” tab on my wordpress site, or you can drop me a line. I know you’re probably too busy for such things, so I’ll understand if you’re not interested. Thanks for all you do!!

Hi Ana, I’ve been a reader of your blog for some time time now and I’d just like to say that your website is looking great. You always have something of interest to say. And this is the first time I too have read your about me page. Very interesting life you have had so far.
I am in MLM and thought I’d never get involved in it, but this one is actually the real deal. You have my details if you are interested contact me, you wont be sorry.

Ana,
I stumbled across your site by pure chance and have found your story and your knowledge a real blessing!
I am a single father of 5 trying to make a better life for myself and family. Although I have been marketing “Offline” for over 20yrs, my journey with Internet Marketing has only just begun, so I find myself starting ALL OVER!
It’s refreshing to meet and connect with other ethical marketers like yourself and it inspires me to start out as I mean to go on, by being open and honest about my journey despite my 20 years of experience in the offline world.
Im not about to “Big it up” when it comes to marketing and blag my way to success. My experience in the offline world means very little when it comes to marketing online and so my goal is to connect with like minded people, build relationships and share my journey!
I am excited about the road ahead and hope I can share the knowledge I gain to help other people along the way as I build my new business!
Glad to have met you through your fantastic blog!
My Best Wishes,
Andy Benson

Thanks for putting your about page in one of your blog posts. I hardly ever check out people’s about pages though I realized that mine get quite some traffic.
The part that caught me is where you state that you dedicated your life to Jesus Christ. That’s the best decision ever.
Otherwise, great job as always.

Hi Ana (again!),
Wow, what an amazing story!
Out of all the times I’ve been to your blog, this is my first visit to your About page.
I think there’s an important lesson in your story, one that is very common but get often gets lost in all the “white noise” on the internet.
There’s really no such thing as an instant success in business, particularly online. Whenever you see uber successful blogs, there’s usually a story of great trial and tribulation behind it that the fans tend to forget about rather quickly.
That being said, anybody who’s willing to put in the time, effort, blood, sweat, and tears can be successful.
They just have to put in ALL of the work that’s involved.
Clearly you’ve done that and you’ve become one of the go-to experts in your niche, and you have a great story to tell because of it all.
Thank you for sharing your story here. It’s stories such as these that remind me that it can (and will) happen for me, too.
I just have to be willing to put in the time, pay my dues, learn my lessons, and take my journey. When I do I will have the opportunity to tell my story, too.
Thanks, Ana!
God Bless,
~Barry

Great article about yourself. Much enjoyed it. Here is a question that you have probably seen one million + times but I am new to your site, today is my first day, so I will ask it anyway. I also have been without a job for 4 months now and I am in the process of losing my things and have become a regular at the local pawn shop. So my question is this, Since you have been where I am in the past and you now know what you did not know at the time of NO MONEY, what would be the easiest and fastest way to start making money NOW? I mean forgot the long term for a minute and please give me your best advice for NOW and later down the road. Thank you so much and God bless you.
