Breaking news, folks. I just received an email from an Internet marketer and he is promising “no more hype!” I received this email just now. He wants me to watch a video. OMG, another video. He then starts defining what is hype. He could have asked me to do a Google search (define: hype), instead, he wanted to take a crack at defining what is hype in the email.

He talks about how he set small goal (for example making $500 a month) when he started his internet marketing business. And he was making good money. Now everybody wants to make millions. “How can everybody make millions if they cannot make $500″, he asks. Well, he has a video explaining this conundrum.
He wants me to watch the video. According to everybody (who is everybody? I don’t know), this is the best video he has ever made and he is shocked to hear that. I assume that he was thinking this particular video was crappy like all his earlier ones but he was shocked when everybody had great praise for his latest voodoo.
He goes on (in the email. I have not yet visited the site yet). Now he is starting to understand why everybody has good words for the video. Do you know why? Because his latest creation does not talk about hype and fat. It goes straight to the point.
Now, you know what I should do. Wait 5 minutes. This video must be short and to the point, as he promises in his email. I am heading to his site. I will watch the video and report to you all in five minutes.
… (After 10 seconds)
Fuck it man. This is the same site Income Kick Start that teaches you yearlong email spamming business. This is the same guy who made millions from a hospital bed.
Any way, good luck to you all who aspire to make $150,000 a year from a hospital bed.

I read through several of your product reviews. I saved a lot of money by reading a lot of your reviews. My question is, is there a legitimate way to make money online? Is there a legitimate course or ebook that teaches how to make money online? I have been trying to make money online since last June. I have made about $100 so far. I am working so hard too. It seems like guru’s have a secret they are not telling us. Maybe there is no honest legit way to make money online. I know you have a bunch of adsense that probably sells crap too. Well, thanks for your honesty.
Mellisa, Congratulation that you made $100. Most people even don’t make that. So you have learned something. Making money from online takes some time if you’re only using free traffic. Learn link building, SEO, PPC (pay per click), check out other adnetwroks besides the big three for buying traffic. Pick a project, finish it and then move on to the next.
Some of the courses may be good though I make fun of it. I just want to make a parody of internet marketers and how they sell products. You can buy it and check it out. If you don’t learn any thing substantial, return it and get a refund.
Always use your credit card (not debit card). Don’t buy too expensive coahing only system where the person makes hard sales pitches and ask you stupiud questions like what you “want to do with money?” That’s the trick they have learned from the Jedi master.
I get lots of email and people tell me they had paid thousands of dollars for some internet site (that you can get it done for $100 if you how to outsource it) and traffic (most of the traffic coming from traffic exchanges where participants visit each others web sites).
Don’t give up. Yes, you can make money but be persistent and work hard. Learn as much as you can for free or on cheaply. If you can, learn Pay Per Click, starting with small amount of money.
Many of the courses have a few good techniques but the Internet Marketers blow it out of proportion and try to sell it for a high price than what is worth.
These are the 8 things you should learn
1. Market research to find niche market
2. Keyword research
3. Domain and hosting
4. Blogging
5. PPC
6. eMail marketing using lead capture
7. Link building and SEO
8. Social Media
Good luck and don’t give up. My blog is to make fun and not to discourage anybody to give up. Lots of money are made in online marketing.
There are hundreds of way to make money. If you learn some thing, implement it immediately. Finish it and then move on to the next project.
Always remember this: Working does not make you money. It is creating something that will make you money. Yes, You need to work to create it. In the last 6 months, how many web sites you have created? How much original contents published in those sites? Are you working to drive traffic to those sites daily? Are you capturing lead and following them up? Create and Create.
