Over the years I have come across alot of websites and products that make claims and then just can't follow through. People want to believe you can make alot of money without doing alot of work. I am sure you have all seen it, and maybe some of you reading this have even done it, but regardless of what you are lead to believe and what some people are willing to tell you, you have to be very special, or very rich already, in order to sit down at your computer and all of a sudden start making thousands of dollars a day, or even a month.

I have been through many trials and tribulations. Companies that have no support, or won't answer you if they do. Companies that have all been based on lies, consisting of all kinds of made up "facts". The get sign ups and make money with our free leads campaigns. The survey companies and the paid to read email companies. The ebook gurus and the marketing gurus who promise to reveal their money making "secrets".  The list of so-called opportunities goes on and on.

Well, hey, I'm an honest guy and I probably have a little bit of a problem thinking that everyone is like me, so I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt most of the time. When you are trying to find a way to make some money online, however, I have learned that this could be a deadly practice. I have learned that "make $10000 in 10 minutes" or "you too can make $100,000 this month" comes with alot of strings and alot of money they want you to spend to find out how,or to help you do this. I am not saying this can't be done, because I know it can. I am just saying it's not as easy as some people would lead you to believe.

Sure, you can get an affiliate link in a matter of seconds and then try running your ads for that product/company along with everyone else that is doing the same thing. This could make you some money but how much depends on how much your ad gets seen before someone else that is promoting the same thing. Of course a solid email campaign would help too, but how much of a list can you have when your just starting out. Unless your willing to spend good money for lists that may or may not even help you, this alone takes TIME.

I emphasize TIME because that is what I would like to make a point of in this posting more so than anything else.
Do not expect alot if you think you can start out by putting in an hour here or there and the money will come rolling in. And do not expect that when someone tells you "you can do this in 10 minutes" that it can actually be done!

First of all, it sometimes takes at least 10-30 minutes just to get through the video or the email or article you are reading which is trying to help you get to your "money-making website".
Second of all, depending on what company you have or what affiliate program you are promoting, you have to find ways to advertise and get potential customers or subscribers. This also takes TIME. As a matter of fact, if your doing things right it will likely take you alot more than 10 minutes.

Now, for all of us people who not only have affiliate programs to promote but also have their own website and own products, this takes on another life of it's own. From trying to set up autoresponders to looking for traffic, as well as BUILDING YOUR OWN WEBSITE, which can be the most time consuming project of all, the time spent trying to get things done never seems to end. Sure, it will get better eventually, but I am just trying to make a point that people, it's not as easy as alot of people try to make it out to be.

Again, I admit you have people that just have that knack for success from the get go. Unfortunately, it takes most people alot of time to learn something they haven't done before, and it is easy to see why people get frustrated when someone implies they can make them money without having to do much work and then they find out it's going to take alot more time or alot more money than they had thought at the beginning. Especially when YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE MONEY TO BEGIN WITH!

Let me tell you, if I had money I am sure I would have been more successful faster than if I wasn't trying to get everything for free.  Unfortunately, as I am sure alot of you would agree, especially now with the new gas prices, the extra money is just not there to spend on things that would be beneficial to someone's online success. This is not an extremely bad thing however, considering I have heard MANY, MANY horror stories over the last 5 years alone about how people have paid thousands of dollars for kits and materials and programs,etc. and have not made a dime! The key here folks is always investigate and know who and what you are dealing with before shelling out any of your hard earned money!

While it may take you longer to try to find what you are looking for for free, and the quality may not be as good at times, at least you have not lost any money. I would highly recommend however if you are interested in being a success on the internet to get your own website. There are many choices out there but obviously I recommend Go Daddy, www.godaddy.com . I have been using them for over a year now and the price I am paying for my 2 domains for the year is less than some companies charge BY THE MONTH, and they actually answer the phone and will help you if you call customer service! That is a huge plus in my book with all the companies out there using email and providing crappy support.

I have never done this before, so I hope this will be helpful for some. I am going to list my links for you here in the hopes that some people will find them helpful. They have all helped me and all offer some kind of free help I believe people can use.  I would appreciate if you could subscribe to my blog and to have anyone who is interested in fantasy football visit my website and subscribe to my emailer there as well, and again hope that you enjoyed reading my blog and find something that can be of use to you.
