If you understand nothing else about earning money online, understand this:
If you're just getting started...you are PREY.
The awful truth is... there are many people for whom the "newbie" marketer is a sweet treat, to be gobbled up and swallowed whole as quickly as possible. They have created an entire market of products designed to fool, mislead or even outright lie to you.
They'll dazzle you with techniques that you can't really use yet, or only give you small pieces of the puzzle, leaving you to wonder why after purchasing several products and trying everything they've suggested, you still aren't successful.
These people will sell you
absolutely anything to make a profit. They DO NOT CARE if you succeed.
It's almost enough to make you throw in the towel, isn't it?
Well, the really excellent news is that there actually
are quite a few genuine sites that will help you
make real money online.
The owners and contributors of these sites, forums and blogs are committed to honesty and integrity in their marketing, and their advice will help you to create the online income stream you are looking for- without ripping you off in the process.
The way it should be.
Here are 5 sites I think offer incredible information and tips to the new Internet Marketer. You should check each one out if you truly want to learn the ins and outs of
making money online from people who are doing it everyday.
1.
The Warrior Forum This is the premier internet marketing forum on the net. You will find the biggest and the best in the community post here, offering their insights and sometimes incredible business techniques for free. Definitely deserving of the number one spot.
2.
WAHM This forum, though targeted to WAHMs (Work At Home Moms), is a fantastic place to find information. The women (and men) who post here are an amazing resource for anyone who is still getting their 'internet legs'.
3.
Affiliate GodOn this site Ryan Moran, the 21 year old superstar who created this program, has detailed the path he used to create an $100 per day income for himself, and graciously shares these methods for free.
4.
Squidoo Created by marketing master Seth Godin, Squidoo is a site that you can use not only to learn, but to make some cash as well. Each page, or
lens, is a mini-site of sorts, which can be used to learn (or teach) about absolutely anything. All sorts of priceless information can be found here.
5.
Seth's Blog This is Seth Godin's blog home. It really doesn't offer a lot of direct, step by step advice on how to make money, online or off. What it does provide, is some of the most thought provoking business and marketing material available on the web. If you're serious about making money, you need to check out Seth's Blog.
