Hello there, thank you so much for visiting my site. This is my "About Us" page but it should really be called my "About Me" page since this is a one person operation. The goal of this page is to give you a little background about myself and why I created this site. There is a real person behind this site and my goal is to share a little bit about myself and my story.

My Passion For Sun Tanning

There's no denying it. I have been very passionate about tanning for a very long time. I have been tanning both indoors and outdoors for many years. I feel better about myself and my appearance when I'm tan. I feel it's a great part of my lifestyle, an active lifestyle of working out, eating right, looking my best, and of course wearing the latest fashions. You only live once, why not enjoy it as much as possible? Moreover, tanning is healthy and has so many benefits.

So I Created Really Tan

I also enjoy writing and have an artistic side. Thus, I decided to create Really Tan, a combination of my passion for tanning and also creating. My top goal is to have the best articles about tanning on the Internet. Of course, I didn't create this site completely for fun (although that is one of the largest reasons). It's also one of my first business ventures. Inspired by Lisa over at 2 Create A Website, I decided to just go for it and create a site with the goal of having a lot of fun while also making some money on the side. After all, the economy is not great these days and I need to pay for my tanning salon hobby. My eventual goal is to create a few websites around my passions in life that I can increasingly rely on to pay the bills. What could be more fun than getting paid to write about your favorite passions? Also, it would be so very nice to be able to quit my 9 to 5 someday.

Tanning Products

So how do I get paid? I am compensated for the ads and products that appear on this site. One example is the ads for Cooltan Tan Thru Swimsuits. Often times, websites will not explain to their users how they generate money. I'm happy to do so because I stand by the products on my site. I personally have ordered a tan through swimsuit from Cooltan and think it's a super product. Many of the items advertised on this site are items that I have personally used and believe in. The reason I'm so open about how I'm making money is it's easy to stand behind great products and companies.

Thinking About Starting Your Own Site?

I encourage you to do so. Another product I believe in is www.GoDaddy.com. If you are thinking about your own site, the first step is to come up with a great domain name and register it! I recommend GoDaddy to register your domain name since prices are low and they are the most trusted and dependable registrar on the Internet. Really Tan is proud to be a GoDaddy registered and hosted site. As you can see, the site loads super fast and is very dependable. Surprisingly, I'm getting all of these great benefits on the cheapest GoDaddy hosting plan. Any questions about starting a website? This question transitions into the next paragraph nicely, don't hesitate to contact me!

Shoot Me A Line About Tanning

Have a great idea for a future article? Want to just say "hi"? Please shoot me an email. Honestly, I am so happy when I get emails from you. It's really great to know when my hard work has paid off and I have created content that you really enjoy while getting really tan. There are so many poor websites out there. My goal is to be different. I spend a lot of time writing each article and am striving for quality instead of quantity. I'm up late at night working on this site and my articles are meant to be read and are meant to be resources for tanners everywhere. Please enjoy and thank you so much for visiting my site.
