Beware of the Pitch Page!
You want to earn money online, don't you? The question I hear the most is "How can I make money online?"
If you are new to the idea of making money online, I would like to suggest something to you that NO OTHER INTERNET MARKETING GUIDE would dream of telling you. And that is...
Beware of the pitch page! Watch out!. You are vulnerable and the pitch page will play to that weakness. The pitch page will hone in on your hot buttons like a laser guided missile to your heart.
I am not a "guru". I'd like to be but I don't know enough yet. I do have lots of experience examining the various ways and means of Making Money Online. I have seen scams for what they are. I have lost money to people who advertised a guarantee. I've read marketing ideas that were laughable.
What I have found is that there are a lot of experienced Internet Marketers out there who know exactly how to sell you a system of marketing. The info in it may be good and often is. But something is missing. (more on that later)
I've also read some really good marketing guides or programs and I've come to some conclusions that I KNOW are right! These are good, honest, useable guides and reports you can use to make money online.
How do I know this? First, I am currently using them!
Second, a little bit of my history would probably be appropriate here. I go back quite a ways. I have been my own boss for approximately 40 years. I was always in sales. I often did very well at it. I married a great gal and had two sons who now run one of the businesses I started. They are doing well at that.
There was always one thing that bothered me the whole way through, and that was the fact that my businesses were very expensive to run. And, they were COMPLICATED! They took years to master. Back then I had the time.
Now I'm looking for ways to make money online. There's a steep learning curve here. I have to keep it simple. I'm going to learn some of the basic skills, pick a direction (plan) and do it until I am good at it. (When I wrote this I had not yet started but now I am under way.)
So, a while back I started looking around for an online marketing business (sales). It's all I really know. I had one prime criteria for that business. It had to have almost no overhead (expenses) and it had to have potential for good profits. It had to be something that was definitely do-able, on the level, wouldn't kill me with work load, and made me some money! And finally, it had to be honest. I felt better if the person selling me the Internet Marketing Method would speak to me directly if necessary.
So, my emphasis is in getting people who are interested in Internet Marketing started off on a good path. I think the first thing you need is Skills!
I'll see you on the road to success.
