My Subscribers Share Their Frustration

Ever since I made it known to my subscribers that I answer every one of their emails, I’ve received loads of them, either thanking me for some of my free gifts that I prepared for my subscribers, or just asking for help or advice.

One of my answers lately is to recommend a fairly new membership site which teaches you how to make money on the Internet, with little or no money.  This is currently free to join - see details at the end of this post.

It has been tedious going through every email, and replying them, but I enjoy doing that. I try to answer within 3 days, but sometimes backlog does build up and my reply is delayed. But I WILL always reply.

Some of the emails are heartwarming, with offers of prayers and best wishes. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Yet there are others which leave me with a heavy heart.

Here are some of them.

Right now I am printing your e-book called Internet Business Survival Guide.   My problem is that I have spent thousands of $$$$ on business opportunities for the net with out any help or guidance.  I am now flat broke on credit cards and need desperate help to succeed on the net.  Will you be my mentor and guide to direct me to succeed on the net.  I want to be your apprentice.  Please feel free to call anytime in person to me.  I need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Craig

Sorry for your loss and thank-you for the free gifts, nobody has ever given me anything for free before so I free privileged to receive them. I have spent so much money on the internet trying to earn extra cash from the internet, you read so many articles saying you can earn so much money if you do this and that, you pay and then you never hear from them again not to mention they are the “gurus” of the internet world. Any suggests on our to earn cash via the internet. It was good to hear from you again.

I contracted meningitis when I was 18mo old and my right side (esp my arm and hand) is paralyzed. Because of this and the attitudes of the time I was placed on social assistance by my family from the age of 18. Ever since then I have been trying to get off the system. I had a few jobs procured by helping agencies but something always happened and I was let go instead of being taught how to act in the corporate arena. I have been told I have an adventurous spirit and this combined with a work record that would not make a stunning resume led me to strike out on my own.

Because of my life history, I’ve never felt very confident, but I do have many talents and interests. I have thought about starting several things but have never been able to settle on any one thing, out of fear that it wouldn’t succeed. I have told friends what I was doing and received an off-handed “that’s nice”, or “good for you” at best and having my business cards handed back to me at worst. With responses like that it’s hard to imagine anyone wanting anything that you would like to offer!

I have been scammed several times, have spent $ 2965 on ebooks/systems/coaching that have not delivered what they claimed (and it’s NOT due to me being blond nor to laziness) and I am SICK and TIRED of it.

So you see, the Internet marketing world is not a bed of roses.

It’s not as easy as some “gurus” would like to make you believe. Just watch what you spend on, and don’t believe any hype about shortcuts to Internet success, because there aren’t any. The ones making the most are the gurus selling their “money making” secrets.

The Internet marketing arena is full of opportunities as well as pitfalls. Most of the successful people did not become successful overnight - it’s years of hard work and smart work.

There are people who fall for those hype that Internet business is as easy as paying $27, or as high as $497, to join an online multi-level scheme, get 2 persons under you, then sit back and watch the money roll in.

Guess what? They never saw the $27 or $497 again.

It may sound funny, but it’s heartbreaking hearing those real stories as well.

Internet marketing is very broad, and it takes time, effort and a bit of luck to succeed. I know, because it has taken me several years of learning it the hard way.

You need to focus, as there will be distractions and the real danger of information overload.

Everyone is looking for that magic formula, the surewin blueprint, the step-by-step manual. Yes there are, but extremely rare. The reason is there are just too many parameters and unknowns. Gurus have been selling their methods (and some are really workable), but unfortunately the results are unpredictable if executed by different people.

Why so? Because no one person is alike.

Even in paid coaching programs, only a small handful is successful, the rest just get left behind.

A little guidance from the right people or system can sometimes make all the difference.

There’s one particular membership site that I’m rather impressed. It’s actually what I wanted to build for a long time, but one of my subscribers beat me to it.

It’s about showing people how to make money online using free resources, with a series of refreshing video tutorials. I said Refreshing, because some of the things they share are what you’ll never hear from the gurus.

At the time of writing this, it’s still free to join.

Click Here To Join For Free. Get help from them - they are the ones.

[[UPDATE: They have converted the site to a paid membership site. Even though there's a small fees to pay, it's a one-time payment, and you still get to enjoy their monthly benefits. To me, it's still a very worthwhile investment, considering the huge value you can get out of it.]]
