Today I am going to address the biggest problem newcomers are encountering in their quest to Work From Home. The problem starts before they even get started, it’s called Information Overload. If you are just starting out you need to read this article before you get buried alive in information overload. Believe me it will happen. I am speaking from personal experience.
There are a wide variety of ways to make money online today. Affiliate marketing, create and sell your own product, (i.e. and e-book), selling P.L.R., ( Private Label Rights products), Google AdSense, etc. The list goes on and on. So what happens to many newcomers who don’t know how they want to make money online? They begin to search for information on many of these options of how to make money online.
A search on Google or Yahoo! for work from home, or make money online will bring you an unbelievable amount of links to pages telling you how to go about it. Of course just about all the pages that you go to will have some sort of free newsletter offer, or a free report, or free resell rights products that you can get if you will just give them your name and email address. So your average newcomer begins giving their name and email address to receive their information and then the fun begins!
You suddenly have become very popular! Your in-box is filling up daily with emails from all over. Every one has a product or program that they want you to buy and you can’t possible live without. So you dash on over to check out someone’s site. Suddenly you are sucked in by the brilliant graphics, bold blazing headlines, and unbelievable claims. And if they are good the spiel grabs you, your eyes glaze over, you suddenly see yourself sitting in your hot tub in your new million dollar house, as your butler brings you your martini, as you look out to see your new Hummer sitting out in your driveway next to your black Lamborghini. The next thing you know you are getting out your credit card or logging into your PayPal account to buy their product.
So you have downloaded your new latest and greatest product and you jump right in. After reading through the information for an hour or so you sadly realize your dream of calling your boss tomorrow to say “I QUIT! I’ve hit the mother lode on the internet”, is not going to happen.
So off you go back to sorting through all your emails, (which have been piling up again while you were out getting your last latest and greatest product). Suddenly there’s another one! A product that MUST be the one and off you go again, and again, and again. You begin to jump from one program or product to the next. Telling yourself the next one will be it. That one that delivers what they all say, “No work, all automated, just sit back and collect your money”.
The next thing you know you have a dozen or so products sitting on your shelves or on your hard drive just waiting for you to” Strike it Rich”. Listen, it’s not going to happen like that. Whether you choose Affiliate Marketing, eBay, sell your own e-book, M.L.M., Network Marketing, whatever it is, it’s going to take some work and it’s not going to happen overnight.
Do your research, find out how to become an eBay God, or an Affiliate Marketing Madman. Find out exactly what’s going to be involved in whichever one appeals to you. Then pick one and stay focused on it! Don’t get lured away by some other programs or products. Stick with one and make it work. Then you can branch off into other venues.
And do yourself a favor. Get another email account from Yahoo!, Hotmail, Google, or Gmail, anywhere - Use that email address as you begin to sign up for all those reports and newsletters, and product downloads and whatever else you need in your research in deciding how you want to make money in your quest to work from home.
It is possible to make money from home on the web. In between all the scams and hype and bs there are legitimate products and programs that will help you on your way. Many people are out there doing it. You can be one of them. Just be realistic. Don’t expect miracles. And with some work and research and dedication you to can be one of them!
Well that’s it for this evening gang, have a good one!

How to create your first web site video
Filed Under Video | Leave a Comment
Evening all,
Well I have been busy beyond belief here the last couple of weeks. I was having some major malfunctions with the blog here after the move. I believe everything is finally working properly, ( I hope), anyway I wanted to post a link up here for you.
I have had a bunch of requests from people on information on how to create a web site. So I made up a short video running through the basics of getting a site together. As quite a few people don’t have the money to spend on a web page creator program I tracked down a pretty good free one for you.
It’s from Ewen Chia and it is more than adequate to get you up and running. And of course the fact that it’s free helps! : ) Anyway if you follow the link below it will take you to a page where you can get the free program and a link to the how to video. So head on over and download the program and get your page up! Here is the link:

Enjoy!
