Like most people starting up an online business you're probably feeling somewhat lost with all the promo stuff coming to your inbox everyday. I know I sure was and starting to think "Is this really worth it?"
After reading through all this "I can make you Rich" B.S, I was starting to think that every program out there was a scam, and you can't blame a person for thinking that way as some of those claims are pretty outrageous. Come on now, do you really think that you're going to put up a website today and expect to be independantly wealthy by next week? Who do they think they're fooling? And then to put on a snotty attitude when you tell them you're not interested in their products. Finding the right products is very important to me as I don't believe in trying to promote some product or service that I don't believe in or wouldn't use or buy myself. I already lost money buying into systems I thought would be good affiliate sites only to find out that their #1 product is selling their useless package. So much for your dream site... now you get stuck trying to promote some useless scam site knowingly ripping off anyone you can persuade to join.
No Thank You, Not for me. I just couldn't get myself to do that, and here's why you shouldn't fall into that trap too.
First of all you'll find that it is extremely difficult to promote something you don't believe in.
Even if you decide to promote the useless scam in order to recoup your money, you'll be working extra hard trying to get people to buy into it AND you'll be labelling yourself as a scammer too. That was certainly not something I wanted for a brand. If you scam people once, nobody will trust you again, plus making money by ripping people off is not a business I want to be associated with, there is still such a thing as honesty and integrity some of us still believe in.
I didn't give up and stop there but I sure got more cautious and learned a lot from those mistakes and I did manage to find sites that do seem to deliver what they advertise.
One of the things I learned was that you don't need to spend lots of cash to get started, most of it is free if you know where to find it and is the same stuff a lot of these supposed 'Gurus' are trying to sell you in some of their packages. You can find free content for your webpage, blog, newsletters and just about everything you need to get started with your online business.
I signed up for this free info on Affiliate Marketing which I found filled with actual useful information on how and where to find everything needed to get started online, and all from free downloads. Just sign up for Free and receive the info you need to get started.

I am still learning from Bob's Free Tutoring and starting a blog is actually one of the steps in the list of things to do. Blogs are a great advertizing tool but you still need to get people to read it. You will learn how to do that too in the report.
Check it Out and see for yourself, what have you got to lose?
