Why I'm Passionate About Memory & Brain Power

I've been fascinated by memory for as long as I can remember. As a child, I noticed that some of my peers seemed gifted with a superior memory.

I'm smart, but my natural memory is average. That's why I've dedicated so much time to finding the best ways I can improve it. And I've come to realize there are people everywhere who aren't satisfied with their memory.

I've shared my discoveries with you throughout this website. By spreading this knowledge, I hope to empower you to strengthen your mental abilities and achieve more in life.

My Education & Background. After earning a math degree some time ago, I tried careers in dentistry and environmental science before settling on technical writing. I have experience as a technical writer in the computer industry and as a freelance writer.

Like many folks, I bounced around before finding what I truly enjoy doing. Simply put, what I finally discovered is that I love helping people learn how to learn and remember.

I am the author of all the pages on this website, except for a handful of articles by guest authors. Articles written by a guest (such as this one) always include the guest's byline near the title.

So if a page doesn't have an author's name listed, I wrote that page and you can include my name in the citation. Following are the MLA, APA, and Chicago formats for citations, using my article, To Remember More, Read Out Loud (to Someone) as an example:

• MLA. Memory Improvement Tips. "To Remember More, Read Out Loud (to Someone)." Memory-Improvement-Tips.com. [current date in dd month yyyy format]. <www.memory-improvement-tips.com/read-out-loud.html>.

How I Built This Site

If there's a topic you know and love, consider building a website so you can share what you know with the world. I was able to do it, and I bet you can too.

With the right tools and a plan, it's possible for just about anyone to create a website these days. Obviously you need to have a good idea and be willing to invest time and effort to make it a success.

In my case, I used Solo Build It (SBI!) online software to make the pages for this website and build up the traffic. Plus my "brain, attitude, and motivation", of course!

If you've ever wanted to create your own website, and maybe earn some extra money while doing it, my advice is to follow your dream and just go for it. I highly recommend using SBI to lay a strong foundation for the success of your site.
