Shoemoney is slow

No, I don't mean that the website is slow, I mean the pace of new videos is so slow.  I haven't learned anything new yet, but the system is designed to take a person from zero to expert in a year.  An there is a 60 day money back guarantee so I do not have too much to lose.

I'll keep yoy posted.

Shoemoney So Far...

I have spent two days learning from Jeremy Shoemaker's Shoemoney system and so far we had step by step instructions on how to set up a gmail account and why you will need one.  We have learned about the six ways to make money off of the Internet and have listened to a Q & A webinar.

I am the kind of guy that plows right in.  This has been good sometimes and bad sometimes.  Jeremy's system doesn't let me plow right in.  It is timed out so that I have to watch every video.  The surprising thing is is that I have learned stuff from the videos I normally would have skipped.

The $200 a month fee—actually its $197—will come out to be about $2400 for the year long course.  That is because this is serious stuff.  If it continues the way it has gone so far then I would say that this course is undervalued.  In other words it will actually be worth a lot more than $2400.

The Cheap Seats

Since I started trying to earn money online, I have been plowed over by offers.  You go to their website and its $47 to buy this system that is suppose to get you earning $100,000 with in a year—yea right.  No one would offer a truly working system like that for $47.  And what makes it more laughable is that when you click away from the their sites you will get this, BUT WAIT thing, that says if you act now you'll get the whole system plus x amount of dollars worth of free gifts for only $17—what happened to the $47.  On one site I kept clicking away until they were trying to pedal their AMAZAING MONEY MAKING program to my for $7.  I think a lot of internet marketing right now is clever people selling crap to gullible people and it works.  I don't want to make money on the internet if that is the way it is.

Don't Go Cheap

If someone is trying to sell you an Internet program that is suppose to make you a living from affiliate marketing for $47 you can bet it ain't worth squat.  Simple economics will tell you that.  If something can really teach you a skill where you will earn a lot of money doing it, then the lessons will be more expensive than $47.  You pay for value.

Be Prepared To Pay $$

There is a reason community college is cheaper then Harvard and that is due, in part at least, to the fact that a Harvard degree will earn you a lot more money than a community college degree.  It is the same with Internet marketing.  So look for the following points if you want to become an Internet marketer who makes a living at it. Buy the courses if...

1. The people offering the courses are credible and have Internet marketing pedigrees
2. The price isn't too low indicating that what is being sold is junk
3. The course has verifiable money back offers for a reasonable period
4. There isn't any over promising and hype
5. The payments are monthly and not demanded up front
6. You have researched the program and the authors of the program.

Hint:  If you have never heard of these guys and you can't find them on the internet then forget it.

Good quality instruction is expensive but it will more than pay for itself and believe me $47 isn't going to buy you that.

Ok I Think I Have A Plan

I have been wondering lately how to move forward in affiliate marketing, how to have affiliate marketing success.  If i had to start over today here are the steps I'd take.

1. Join Wealth Affiliates
2. Spend a month reading everything on that sight.
3. Select a product with around a gravity around 30 that had a good pitch page.
4. Then write, write , write.

As I made some money I would progress to the only other really honest teaching site that I have found Shoemoney which is a place where you are given specific step by step video lessons on how Internet marketing works by Jeremy Shoemaker.

Wealthy Affiliates is a community of internet marketers and its value lies in networking and the tools available on the site.  Shoemoney's value is in the step by step instructions you receive.  Usually one video lesson every 3 days.  It cost about $200 a month, but you actually do get what you pay for.

These are the actual programs that I am using to try and become an affiliate marketer.  The men that run these sites are some of the best affiliate marketers on the web so I figure If they can't teach me, no one can.  I'll keep you posted on how it is going.

Seeking New Streams

A lot of people think that affiliate marketing is dieing but I beg to differ.  It is changing and getting more competitive.  Right now it is like a gold rush, but as with all gold rushes they eventually slow down.  That is comming.  A lot of folks were thrown into a tizzy about the new FTC rules, but if you are an honest person you have nothing much to worry about there.

Right now is the time to join Wealthy Affiliates or Shoemoney and LEARN!

Been busy

Well it seems like I have hit a wall.  Most weeks I am earning around $300 which is not bad for some extra spending money, but since I am unemployed at the moment it doesn't begin to cover my needs and I am writing all of the time.  I have wasted a lot of money trying to get PPC campaigns up and running.  PPC, for those that don't know, are where you pay search engines to place you ad when someone types in your selected keywords.  You only pay if someone clicks on the ad.

It is hard to get people to buy once they have clicked on an ad so you can end up losing a lot of money.  Anyway I have signed up for Jeremy Shoemaker's Shomoney program.  It cost around $200 a month, but if there is anyway to make a living as an affiliate, he will teach you.  This is simply the best program for the money.  You'd have to spend $1000 for this kind of coaching.  I'll let you know if I can break the $300 a week barrier soon.

By the way, if you visit Shoemoney and I recomend you do if you want to succeed, be paitent.  The Shoemoney page takes forever to load.

Wierd Stuff

It is like someone turned a spigot off. Since about December 16 I have had almost no visitors and no sales. I am hoping that it is because of Christmas. I mean, who wants to buy anything but presents before Christmas. Since my product is mainly health related I hope the spigot will turn back on after the holidays.

This affiliate marketing business is weird. Anyway, like I have said before, I am going to succeed because I am not ever going to quit and I believe that short of death or disability that is the main key to success.

Merry Christmas!

$2000 mark and onward!

Things are beginning to go pretty well for me.  I have found some hot keywords to write about and I am getting this landing page creation down pretty well.  Excuse me but I am going to try something here just to see if it works.  If it does you should see a form for my free people search engine.





Cool, it actually worked. This is one of the projects I am working on to promote my free search engine. I figure if it works here it will work on my landing pages. Go ahead and give it a try!
