I've
been trying to make money online to pay my college tuition. I've been
through the ringer with all kinds of programs, ebooks, success stories,
research and all that, and I have to say that so far, making money
online and working from home seem like more trouble than it's worth.
There is a lot of hype, and not a lot of cold, hard facts to be found
anywhere on the internet. So, then, reader, if you too want to know how
to make money online, then you've come to the right place. Instead of
buying all of the ebooks you could ever want to read, and wasting lots
of money on them, read these reviews first, and save yourself some
trouble and some money. I've bought all of them, and most have not been
worth my time. We'll start with the newest program out there, one
that is making a heck of a lot of noise in the internet marketing world,
the $7 Secret (www.7dollarsecret.com).
This book is useful for one thing and one thing only: successful
pricing. The entirety of the 37 page book is focused on the theory of
writing and producing a lot of ebooks that will all sell for $7 each.
That's really all I got out of it, and for the price, you can do better.
It does include a helpful script for your webpages that may help you
sell more, but you would need another source to learn how to actually
market your products. This is more for the advanced crowd who knows what
they're doing.
The ever popular "Rich Jerk" series (www.therichjerk.com) is by far the worst of the lot. The videos of this guy driving in his lambourghini and hanging out at his mansion with some scantily clad women are cute and all, but what does the book have to say? Well, when he calls himself the rich jerk, he really means it. This guy's book and the tips he's giving out are about as unethical as it comes. Most of the programs that he is advertising in his book are additional paid programs. If paying for the ability to pay for something else strikes you as wrong, well, that's exactly what you're buying with the Rich Jerk Volume 1. Volume 2, while you're paying for much less, tells you to scam people on Craigslist, prey on their emotions, and hope that you make sales by spamming them. You also get a "free website" but that basically means that he's giving you a website template that you can download for free from any number of places. All of the work of changing it around to suit your needs is left for you to figure out.
The Life Empowered Guide (http://www.lifeempowered.com/) comes with a hefty price tag, but is a pretty good guide when all is said and done. The best part of the guide is that it tells you how to market your website successfully without doing a lot of Pay-per-click advertising and banner ads. The program itself is really nothing all that special, and you could find out everything about it if you did enough searching on the internet (and granted, it would take a lot), but for the absolute basic stuff, put all in one easy-to-use guide, this is the way to go. It is also very easy to use for the computer illiterate, though that often means that you won't be making a killing off of the profits.
When it comes to working from home in a home based business, you can do no wrong with the Bum Marketing Method (www.bummarketingmethod.com). This site gives you a lot of tips on article marketing and affiliate sales programs, though Travis is pushing a lot of affiliate programs along the way. His main guide, however, is free of charge, and easy to follow for beginners. Highly recommended.
The Green-Machine Guide to Higher Earnings (www.green-machine.info/) is a good guide, and a great value at the cost (only $10). The introductory portion of the book is absolutely free and accessible from the homepage, but for the real tips, you need to buy the guide. The free information is enough to get you started, and to help you earn the $10 for the remainder of the book. The complete guide lets you in on better ways to make money by writing articles, doing online surveys, doing trial offers, and selling on eBay, and includes one of the best books on Affiliate Marketing programs available, expanding and explaining how to take the Bum Marketing Method even farther. His guide starts with the basics, then moves up the difficulty ladder slowly but surely, and eventually gets to the point where you are making your own websites and doing sales from there. He shows how even a single article can make you money for months on end, and offers a lot of support to buyers via email. I did more with this book than most of the others combined, and recommend it highly, though experienced internet marketers will not find too much that they didn't already know. Best of all, unlike all of the other programs on this list, there is nothing extra to buy once you sign up for the initial ebook, and he only pushes free marketing methods.
Success University (http://cl.successuniversity.com/welcome.aspx) is another well-known program which will help you make money and learn a lot about how to do internet marketing, but it is easily the most expensive at around $200 to start. You will also need to build a downline, meaning that part of your profit will come from the fact that you need to market Success University to others, which can be very difficult given the price tag. However, the tools and tips that they give you are absolutely top-notch, the classes are excellent, and you get an excellent start on recruitment because the people who signed you up will eventually be putting people into your downline to help you out. It's a lot of work, and a lot of money, but it is very much worth the time and effort. Because it is so expensive, however, you might want to try out another program first.
The most popular of all of these programs is Steven Wagenheim's Honest Income Program (www.honestincomeprogram.com) . I'm torn when it comes to reviewing this book, because I think that the premise is sound and the book offers good information, but at the new price of $47, it seems way too much money for what you're getting. I've already written an in-depth review of this program once (read that here), so I'm not going to go through the specifics again, but this ebook package offers you a guide to three home based businesses that have been laid out for you piece by piece. They are so well known and used, however, that if you plan to make any money off of them, you need to do a lot more work and research.
So how do I recommend starting on your work at home business? I suggest that you invest some time in the Bum Marketing Method and the Green-Machine Guide to Higher Earnings, because these are really good guides for beginners, and give you all the tools you need to get started on something right away. Depending on what you want to focus on, you can find a lot more products out there, but work through these completely before buying into some more. They will explain how you can make money online, and get a home based business started...the rest is up to you!
