Can a little bit of research go a long way? You bet it does

I completely understand the frustration of trying to sell something online with advice from this Guru or that Guru only to hit a brick wall time and again. And what I found out was that they weren't making money with the techniques they showed me, they were making money by taking advantage of my inexperience.

They said to use article marketing
They said to use free classifieds
They said to use Google pay-per-click
They said to build email lists
They said to use Adwords, etc, etc, etc .

They fire this stuff at you like a submachine gun till you break and give them your money. They come at you one after the other with the same old tired out schpeele.

The only thing they tell you is "My product sells like hot cakes and you can't go wrong. Just advertise my product and make money".

So guess what happens next. I buy the stupid thing, do a search for all free classifieds to place ads in and waste about 50 hours with not one sale to show for it. This is how it starts. You know what I'm talking about? You just did all that work but you refuse to stop. You have to make a sale if it kills you.

What I did was sit back and thought about it for a minute.
This can not be the way "they" do it. Posting classified ads is to much work.
So with a little searching I found places that would submit my ads to thousands of free classifieds at once. Didn't Work.

I bought in to an email blast service. Every day blasts
for a month straight. Didn't work.

Wrote and published articles, well i didn't acually write them I sort of borrowed those that were relevant from someone with a successful campaign, Still didn't work.

At this point and time I went from trying to sell something online to wanting to learn "How" to sell anything online. I wanted to know how "they" were doing it. How were these guys systematically scooping money out of the Internet. They're driving me crazy. What are they doing. What in the freak'n world are they doing? Why won't they give out the secrets?

So after searching for free advice and reading articles I started to get some great information about internet marketing but nobody could give this marketing information in an organized format with a real plan of action that would make me money in a short period of time. I would just get bits and pieces with no real curriculum like you would get from taking a course or something. I began to realize that if I was going to be serious about changing my life and achieve all that I desire I've got to get help from professionals. People that would lay it all out there for you to see. No secrets. People that use the exact tools and techniques that they teach. People that make it affordable. And it all had to be do-able.

Thats when I found the holy grail. I could not believe my eyes. I almost had tears run down my cheek. When I started reading about all the marketing support, the tools, advise and so on I knew I found it. Everything that I had thought a course on internet marketing should be was nothing compared to what these guys created. I mean Wow. To me it was almost ridicules what they were offering. I was like how can they do this? But I like it when a product sells itself. I learned to ignore the guys that have to hard sell. You get nothing for your money.

So I entered my email address to find out if this was affordable so I could get started immediately. I couldn't believe it. I thought there was no way they are going to give me all this for so little money. I was in. I joined right there on the spot. When I logged into my account it was unbelievable. There I was, staring at the real deal. They didn't tell me they would give me the hottest products to sell AND the step by step procedures to market them. I thought I would only be learning tricks and strategies. Oh no. This is hands on training. I am finally going to learn "How" to market online. It's not a learn from examples type of approach. You choose a product to market and they step you through the entire campaign with gobs of support. I almost feel guilty.

I can finally say I am making money online.

But there is one thing you will notice about my articles is that I refuse to promote my links. If anyone is interested in what I have to say, I welcome
them to drop me an email request. By doing so it will enable me to know
that someone, some where, needs to be steered in the right direction and
I can help.
