Only 3% of aspiring internet marketers ever make money online,
and only a small percentage of that 3% get to give up their day-.job
We just don’t realize, when we start out trying to drive traffic to
affiliate offers, the depth and breadth of the knowledge needed to
successfully make a full time living sitting in front of our PC’s in
our underwear, [at least, that’s the image the people who sell
‘systems” try to convey], so we go shopping for the right e-book
or video series that will teach us all the ins-and-outs in a few hours,
not aware that most of which are recycled stuff that has been
around for years, and contain information that can be gleaned from
the web for free.
The so-called “gurus” who sell this stuff know that the information
is incomplete, and sometimes worthless, and they know that even
if we study hard and implement the knowledge we’ve bought, [which
the vast majority WON’T do] we’ll be back for more, because there
are a million more things to learn, so they always have a “new”
course of study waiting for us and our credit cards.
So it is no accident that the Make Money Online or Home
Business niche is the biggest, most competitive category of info
products. The ones who sell the information keep us in the dark
so that we are always a prime, easy target for more sales.
There are, of course, really good, comprehensive systems for sale
online that WILL teach us what we need to know, and some of these
products have been around for a long time and have sold many
thousands of copies to people who later became successful. The
real trick we need to master is picking the right product to learn
from, so that we are not continuously going “back to the well” for
more of the knowledge we are lacking. The problem with that being,
the “gurus” want us to believe that the book or video series they are
selling RIGHT NOW is the one we need, and are very good, indeed,
at convincing us of it.
So, in order to avoid making additional purchases of info products
for every aspect of marketing, we need to select just ONE that will
get our business up and running and profiting.
No marketing system is the end-all, be-all of marketing systems,
but a few are at least complete enough to guide us to making a
profit, and it is SO much easier to justify spending more on info-
products to fine tune your skills if you are already making money
and don’t have to raid your savings account.

heartedly recommend, go here:http://tinyurl.com/profitz

Does internet marketing seem like a deep, dark mystery
to you? Are you like a starving refugee, gazing into a window,
where rich people are eating a perpetual Thanksgiving dinner?
You know that the money is out there, lying around in piles,
and some people are allowed to load their pockets each day,
while the majority can only watch and wait….and wait….
Well, I, for one, and thousands of others, have decided to
join the feast, and if the door is locked, we’ll kick it down! By
“we”, I mean the thousands of Wealthy Affiliate University
members, who together represent a formidable force of
unstoppable momentum, barging into the celebration without
an invitation!
You see, all the self-proclaimed “gurus” tell you that making
money online is “easy” as long as you buy their sure-fire
systems. The only problem with that is, 95% of the marketing
strategies you buy from strangers are either out-dated,
incomplete, or just plain garbage, and most tell you that in
order for you to make the best money online, you need this or
that tool or software that is not included in the package you just
bought, but, “hey, no problem, here’s my affiliate link to that
marvelous product”, and bam! they’ve got you again!
The biggest strategy in online marketing is the upsell, where
most marketers make more money than the original sale, and
the list, where all marketers will continue to bombard you with
offers for as long as you are on it. Don’t blame them, it’s the
way things work. Instead of getting mad, get even.
Learn to be the offerER instead of the offerEE.
I spent thousands of dollars online buying the “next big thing”
only to find that none of them ever worked for me, because,
you see, internet marketing IS NOT EASY! There is a learning
process that is the equivalent to a couple of years of college
[at least] and the “gurus” don’t want you to graduate!
When you get to the level of knowledge that they are at, you
cease being a customer and become the competition, so why
would they actually help you along the way?
My eyes were finally opened by Wealthy Affiliate University,
and now I see the big picture.
You should take the free tour and decide whether it is better
for you to be a sheep or a wolf.

I “played” at trying to make money selling online for years
before finally deciding to get serious about making money on
the web.
It was more a hobby than a serious pursuit, because deep
down inside, I didn’t really believe it could work for me.
Suddenly, the economy landed on my shoulders like a ton
of bricks, and I had to scramble to make money during the
recession as if my very life depended on it, so I dusted off
some of those expensive “get rich on the internet” courses
I had paid for and never implemented, but soon found that the
information contained there was either out of date, incomplete,
or just plain wrong. But then an email arrived.
The email that changed my online life was from Kyle & Carson,
the founders of Wealthy Affiliate University, reminding me that
their membership fees were due to increase on June 7, and
something in that letter inspired me to take the plunge and join.
I logged in for the first time and was greeted by an avalanche
of information, and some reassuring notes that told me,
“If you stick to the plan you WILL make money quickly”.
Being as how I was desperate, I took them up on that challenge.
Here are just a few of the things I found at the Wealthy Affiliate
University website:
>Free hosting.
>Free autoresponder.
>Free website builder with how-to tutorials.
>A forum with thousands of like-minded people who helped me.
>Step-by-step action plan to start earning quickly.
>Lessons via video and text for every aspect of marketing.
>Tools to make all this happen at my own speed.
And much, much more, to name all the resources would take
a book, not an article.
On the negative side, I found the steps and lessons, which
everyone is required to complete, a bit TOO thorough, in that I
have some experience as a marketer and the first baby-steps
toward an online income were redundant for me. Also, the sheer
volume of information I was presented with was daunting, to say
the least, but after a short while I had excelled by leaps and
bounds and had a website up and running, lead capture pages,
autoresponder set up, and was marketing [and making sales] via
the free advertising resources provided.
In a nutshell, Wealthy Affiliate University is all anyone needs to
become an internet marketer.
If you are tired of “playing” at marketing, I strongly suggest that
you stop buying those expensive e-books and get serious about
really making money online.
