I am quite new to I.M. and affiliate marketing but have taken many months to research, learn and download many ebooks and articles to create a vast LIBRARY of my selected best resources to use. You soon learn to separate the hype and scams from reality and the genuine marketers who either want to help and advance the 95% who are supposed to FAIL or share real and genuinely useful tips and information! You also learn how you can profitably use and find many FREE ways of promoting and learning without lining the pockets of the big boys making another must have promo!

I began to see how many ‘gurus' and ‘super-affiliates' learn to drain away the money of the many newbies looking for a quick path to riches by appealing to their basic human instincts and desire for easy income. You can easily recognize the sites that succeed in drawing in the inexperienced hungry surfers with photos of mansions, fast cars and the symbols of capitalism at its most crass and the usual Clickbank charts of the millions they made following this secret system and plug in software! Some just stop short of saying you can own a money printing machine…..the secret to YOUR success. The problem is the author has a machine printing out REAL money and yours will print out counterfeit bills! Ask yourself HOW so many fail and leave (95% +) IF all these easy money making systems that a child can follow are so foolproof and work? I hope this will stop YOU before you have wasted time and money looking for the right product or secret formula. The bottom line is that unless you are lucky or a genius there is no substitute to hard work, original and targeted content and following a successful strategy in detail using your own ideas………THINKING OUT THE BOX.

Now find your formula for success depending on your skills, interests and goals and build a support system and get to work! A good place to go where you can also ask questions and find many useful tips and info is the Warrior Forum. I found a good formula with a 30 day lesson plan and much detailed sound advice in PIPS but made the mistake of getting distracted and tasting the fruits of some of the gurus persuasive and hyped sales tactics! Concentrate on ONE thing at a time and follow it. Only move on or change IF you have given ONE idea or formula a good chance. I hope you learn from MY mistakes!

I was a tour organizer, teacher and guide working with young persons from all over the world who turned to home business online as a way to spend less time traveling and more time controlling my own schedule and gaining independence. Little did I know what a challenge it would be and how many get rich quick offers would soon line my email box! At times during the learning curve I felt my head was like a volcano ready to explode if I received one more offer or sales line saying ‘you can make $1000- a day NOW if you follow our secret system!' Now I am ready to develop my PIPS site and personalize it and complete the lessons and also open my special Home Business Ebookshop and Portrait Art sites. Happy hunting.
