Don’t Buy the eBooks

I just finished reading a post on one of the forums I visit regularly. The post was a guy asking if anyone had purchased whatever latest ebook on finding a niche. I don’t remember the name offhand…nor do I care. The price on the ebook or whatever the author calls it, was priced at $497.00!!

I realize that sometimes you have to pay a premium price for something that is very high quality. However, I have purchased a couple of ebooks, and I mean like 2 only. Both of these had some great comments and reviews when I was looking to potential buy. Having said that, although both did provide accurate, quality information that does work, everything, and I mean everything that I read in both of them was available for free elsewhere on the Internet.

I’ve said it here before, and I’ll continue saying it, don’t spend your money on ebooks or any other bit of information on making money online. There’s just too many sources to find anything that you need information on.

If you get into PPC marketing, or even email marketing, you will need to spend some money. Actually you’ll need to probably spend some money on most any method(s) you use to make money online. Wheter it’s on hosting, PPC campaigns, an autoresponder, software or any other number of things. Just don’t give your money to the ebook guys that usually just get the information from different sources and complie it into ‘their own’ ebook.

Don’t Fall for the 5,000 an Hour on Auto-Pilot Spam

I just received an email about a ClickBank product that has made a lot of people a lot of money. It’s not because it’s an instant way to get rich though. Don’t misunderstand however, ClickBank offers some fantastic products, I’ve bought several myself. The problem is the way some people market the offerings. They buy an email list from some of the less than decent marketers out there, send out bulk mailings on anything and everything, and get whatever sells they can. I would guess most don’t know anymore about the products that they’re pushing than the unsuspecting spam victims do.

The email that initiated this post was for Forex, which I honestly don’t know much about, but the subject was something to the effect…’Make $1,000,000 in 12 months.’ It was from someone that I had never heard of too. Obviously I hadn’t given him my email, so….there was someone that offered something (free) that I thought looked interesting enough to give up my email for. We all know what that guy does with his list, he sells it.

If you’re new to Internet Marketing there are lots of great products and services around. Personally, what I’ve learned about it, I could pretty much have learned without spending a dime, for the most part. I have promoted quite a few products on this blog, but they’re products that I’vevertbanner01 actually bought or know of!!

If you’re wanting to make some money online, I would take a look at Pot Pie Girl‘s course. It is a ClickBank product and it has lots of great  information. The good thing about her methods is everything is free. She uses Squidoo and EzineArticles a lot, as well as some other sites and methods thrown in.

I just posted about it a few days ago(yes I bought it too). It’s called One Week Marketing Plan, and it takes you through what you need to do, step by step, day by day. She’s got a great ‘no quibble’ guarantee, I think she calls it. So if it doesn’t work for you, you get your money back. I don’t think you could ask for anything better than that.

So just remember, if it sounds too good to be true…it IS!! Not ‘probably is’, it ‘is’ too good to be true. Do you really think if someone had a method that was making them $5,000 per day on ‘auto-pilot,’ they’d be wanting to share it with the world ?

If you’re wanting some free methods to generate traffic, go to BumMarketingCourse.com also. This is something that really offers some very good information that is very similar to what Jennifer (Pot Pie Girl) offers.

Jennifer is a member at Wealthy Affiliate, which is an excellent site if you’re just getting started in Affiliate Marketing. Actually, it’s a good site even if you’re a seasoned veteran, just because there’s a lot of people there doing the same thing and sharing a lot of information. I just became a member a couple of weeks ago and I highly recommend it.

So just use your common sense and read….a lot!! You can sign up for many of the top Affiliate Networks on this site, for free. You can go check out the WickedFire forum, also for free. There”s a bunch of great information there also. Just learn as much as you can before you pull your credit card out.

Great Squidoo and EzineArticles (Primarily) Money-Making Technique

This blog is obviously about my quest in finding the best methods of making money online, so I had to pass this along.

In a previous post I mentioned that I had just signed up with Wealthy Affiliate (which is great by the way). Well, I was skimming through the ‘recommended products’ area of the forum and ran across a thread that mentioned ‘Pot Pie Girl.’ I don’t know her personally, but I had been to her blog before and saw that she’s always got some good stuff there.

Anyway, to make a long story short, the guy that started the thread had just purchased her One Week Marketing Plan, which I didn’t even know about, and he couldn’t say enough good things about it. I had to read every post after that.

Every single post was singing the praises of her course, so I had to check it out. I ended up buying the course, and I have to say it’s most likely the best money that I’ve spent to date on anything associated with online marketing. I’ve still made more money with the phpBay Pro plugin, but to be fair, I just got the OWM Plan.

I usually never buy any of the ‘make $2,000 a day on autopilot’ type stuff. That doesn’t happen unless you’re Amazon or somebody. Well, for most people anyway.

Back to the One Week Marketing Plan. What I like about it is, it’s very easy to follow, everything in it is free, and it’s actually laid out step by step, day by day. HOWEVER, the absolute best thing about the course (I think) is that Pot Pie Girl (Jennifer Ledbetter) has published an IM chat that she had with a young guy named Nick. He had IM’d her asking for help, and she asked him to be her Guinea Pig…which he agreed to.

This is getting long so I won’t try and cover the whole thing, but in a nutshell, she tells him step by step what to do in order to get a campaign up and going using primarily Squidoo and EzineArticles. There are other sites and steps, but as I mentioned everything is free. Unless of course you register any domains, which would probably be a good idea, but at a couple of bucks for .info’s, that’s peanuts.

If you haven’t heard about the course you have to check it out. I bought it 2 days ago and pretty much have a campaign going, but I’m still waiting for some articles to be approved at EzineArticles.

I have to say there’s really nothing in the course that’s totally new to me, but I had never been able to get a good pan laid out. I’m always jumping from one thing to another. With her plan you know exactly where you are and where you need to go next. I know it will work because it’s all proven stuff. Keywords, backlinks, the stuff that generates traffic, that generates sales…in a nice easy to follow course by Jennifer…and Nick.

Oh, I almost forgot…Nick was very frustrated when he first IM’d Jennifer, he said he’d been trying to make money for, I think it was almost a year, but hadn’t made a dime. Just shortly after starting with Jennifer, he made his first sale…and his second, and then his third, all within 2 weeks!!

I know that’s not a lot of money, but if you haven’t made anything in about a year, and then you get 3 sales as soon as you start a new technique, I think that says a lot about what she’s offering. If you’re more advanced and maybe having some luck with PPC, then this course probably isn’t for you, but if you’re a beginner or even intermediate, then I HIGHLY SUGGEST it.

Anyway, I bought it…and I’m glad I did.
