Don't Pay for Any More Information on Making Money Online!
Sorry it's taken me a couple of days to write again. I've spent the last three days just reading, reading, READING! It seems the deeper I get into this whole "making money online" thing, the more there is to learn -- Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Directory Submission, Keyword Analysis, AdSense, AdWords, Pinging, AutoResponders, Backend Marketing, Article Marketing, Niche Marketing, Viral Marketing, Affiliate Marketing, Reciprical Linking and Link Exchanges, PreSelling, Website Analytics and Statistics, Feeders, RSS vs. Atom... need I go on?
It's getting late tonight, so I'm not going to have time to let you in on everything I've absorbed over the last few days, but there is one thing I want to share with everyone before I hit the hay: all this information I've been reading through, everything I've learned -- I didn't spend a dime!
I'm not going to make myself very popular with the web gurus out there, but take it from me, DO NOT PAY FOR ANY MORE INFORMATION ON MAKING MONEY ONLINE! At least not at in the beginning. In fact, I suspect that you will never need to buy another e-book on making money online. For the last three days I have done nothing except research ways to make money online -- and I'm talking 12-14 hours a day with barely a break for lunch -- and I have only barely started to read through all the FREE information available on this subject.
Where do you find all these wonderful resources? Take your pick: blogs, independant websites, give-away ebooks, forums...
I admit I have bought a couple of those infamous "make $10,000 a month" ebooks. When I first started investigating this whole online money-making thing, I went right out and spent hours reading through sales letter after sales letter trying to decide how to spend my hard earned dollars in order to learn the secrets of internet millions. I purchased Holly Mann's Honest Riches (or "Thank You Rich Jerk") ebook, and the Straightshooter's Real Deal.
Now, don't get me wrong. These books are not bad. In fact they have some good and very useful information in them. Especially for a novice in the area of making money online. In fact, if you've got the cash to spare, and you'd like a good overview of this internet marketing business, they aren't a bad read. But don't expect to read them and then hop on the web and start making a million dollars.
I don't encourage you to buy these ebooks for several reasons. The first of course, is just that you shouldn't pay for what you can get for free with a little hard work and diligence (and by reading this blog! :-). But no matter how many pages these books are, there is just no way they can go into enough detail on any one subject to give you enough information to make you successful. You might have more luck with those ebooks specifically dedicated to a single subject, like the ones just covering Google AdWords or Affiliate Marketing or Keyword Analysis. I'll let you know if I ever end up purchasing one of them.
The other problem I have with these ebooks is that they tend to describe just one person's view of making money online. And they give you the false impression that there is only one way -- and a limited way at that -- of approaching web business. But the business of making money online is so extensive, with so many different possibilities and avenues to pursue, that you short-change yourself by locking yourself into one individual's opinion.
That is why I think that you are much better off picking up information from the many different free sources available on the web.
In my next post I'll give you some hints on how to find these sources, and how to seperate the fluff from the real, hard-hitting info that will really put you on the path to making a living on the information super highway!
You're assignment for next time: Don't buy anything till you read my next post!
Wishing you all a healthy good night. Until next time...
