Internet "Gurus"--Now that sounds impressive. You will find this phrase used when someone is trying to sell you something. It seems that everyone who is trying to sell anything related to Internet Promotion, Advertising or Marketing, is an "INTERNET GURU". I'm sorry--I have to laugh for a minute. These "GURUS", not only will offer you advice on making your Website a success, they will also give it to you for---OH--let's say--A Small Price. Now--Being Fair to many of these So-Called GURUS--They do give you their information for Free--after you buy something or subcribe to their newsletter ( Which is nothing but an Advertisement). It is amazing to me, that these prople suceed in making a living off of people who are truly looking for a means of extra income, But then--They say that the Great Lion, preys on the weakest--( Those in Need ?)

There are so many of these Affiliate,Work At Home Programs--What ever you want to call them---it is amazing. Is the need for Extra Income that demanding? Evidently it is--It seems there are thousands of these programs avaliable. Thousands of people trying to make something work. Thousands of people who Read how easy it is. Thousands who see the guy on the beach getting a tan, after a Hard Day's Work---All 2 hours of it. Notice the beautifull Car that is usually in the Photo also. Can you promote or sell your product any better? Of course not--These programs FEED and GROW on the countless people who Join and Promote their Product, and either suceed or fail--It doesn't matter--either way you have spent the time in an attempt to promote their product. Think about It--they get individuals (Affiliates), to do the "LEG" work, meaning that in your desire to make your Website (Theirs) sucessful, you are going to do the Search engine submittal's, join the Forums, Swap Links--I know--Been there.

So--What's the answer to someone looking to "Make Money Online"? The answer is simple--Find something that interest you, something you either have as a Product, a service, or just your thought's---Sell them!! Inside YOU is an opportunity waiting to happen---Do Not be Afraid to JUMP in. Sell your Photos, your Articles, Recipes--whatever--the WEB is a big place. Find your "NICHE" and make it grow. Do not be afraid to Fail--It is a learning process--Do not be afraid of suceeding---it is the dream.
