Great to see that you are promoting the honest and true ways to make money on the internet. When I started years ago I was thinking it was going to be an instant turn around, that I would be making money within a matter of weeks and then I could quit my job! That is so far from the truth. Now after 3 solid years things are starting to really happen (working part time on my sites). So it does take time, investment and persistence. Google and the other search engines only want to reward those sites that are here for the long term!

Cheers,
Matt

Thanks a lot for making this information available for people. Thanks again for your honesty. People need to realise that there is nothing like over night wealth. I wish there is enough people like you.

They have yellow highlighted text, lots of graphics, tons of testimonials, and about 100 instances where you can click a gold start and buy the product.

I’ve seen so many, they must work in some manner – but I’ve never felt good about them. If a product is really good one should be able to offer a demo/free trial that is upgradeable via purchase, or simply discarded because of not liking it.

Someone who is being successful selling their ’secrets’ is always a red flag for me because that person should just be using their ’secrets’ to increase their own business. But they just have a big heart and want to help others right?

Anyhow, it is still good to see the success of others and know it is possible.

I’ve been through the cycle of:

1. Get excited about making money online.
2. Start to build a site w/ generic info.
3. Sit around and waiting for visitor to come in.
4. Get frustrated and begin to have doubts
5. Thinking about quitting (after 2 month)
6. Not ready to quite yet, but not having fun doing it either.
7. Start to research, write more and more contents.
8. Start to see more traffic coming in.
9. Making $17.87 w/ Google Adsense first month
10. Yes….I can do this. And this can WORK!
11. Believing in myself, you can do this!
12. Remind myself, I won’t quite!
13. Write more contents, good contents and keep going.
14. Re-think why am I doing a website at the first place.
15. Have a passion and let it shine through in your writing.

All those stages happened with in 6 month. I’m glad I didn’t quit and Lisa, thanks again to give me inspiration to redefine passion and motivation to succeed.

Not only you are a good writer but a great speaker too, that is something a lot of us lack of. My site is a greglist wanna be, in mexico. And what I have realized after 6 months running it is that traffic is the most important thing to me and is the thing the “gurus” don’t spend too much time talking about.

I just want to thank you for keeping it real for beginners like me.

Sheers.
