    It's nice to see a review written by someone who has actually taken the time to read/use the product and give an honest opinion of it, rather than just repeat the marketing hype while trying to make a buck. Honesty and authenticity do work.

    I know some techniques about how can you make money online but I never do all the things I know because I don't like all of the techniques. So learn the techniques then select a few which you like. :)

    Once I have figured out the rest, I may be back for it. Good advice though on when to buy and when not to, especially in the current economy. Honesty does work and pays off more in the long run.

    Well, it sounds interesting. I am not sure it tells how to make money or is worth $27. I do love your review! So, I am blessing this lens! Hopefully you will make $100 a day on the internet and me too! (:

    I loved your Lens. Internet/ Affiliate Marketing is tough. Requires a lot of Reading and Writing. Spending many hours on the computer, 10-12 hours a day. But I have hope and Faith in myself that it will pay out in the end. There is just so much information out there. But then again information is knowledge. I love learning something new every day! Good luck to you and your family, wishing you the best.

    Hi CCGAL.. Great Lens! . Sounds like you have been going through what I went through 13 years ago.

    I built my first website.. and began my first online business venture in 1998. I spent a lot of time and a lot of money buying and reading all sorts of books on the subject of Internet Marketing.

    It has all been worth it as I was able to quit my day job within a few years.. and have been earning 100% of my income online ever since. It doesn't happen overnight.. but it is definitely doable for those who stay focused and have a commitment to making it work.

    Hi, great review, I love reading books like these to glean any new info, some of the books I have read are so cagy that after reading them I think I understand more about internet marketing and then I don't know how to put it into practice, but my biggest problem is sitting down and doing the work, I always spend 90% of the time surfing I think I need to find a book on time managment and to learn to remove distractions :)

    Extremely well written review! Love it. I am curious about how you are doing with Tiffany's book and program! I follow her blog.
  • CCGAL Jun 19, 2011 @ 10:14 pm | delete
    Hi Heather! Thanks for the visit and comment. I got my money's worth from Tif's product when I learned how to put more than one domain into a single hosting account - I had been asking how to do that for over 3 years, but either nobody understood my question, or I was asking the wrong question. That said, I went so far as to purchase a domain and set up a WordPress site for my PLR store ... and then decided I didn't want to sell my writing like that. So I put a link to some other PLR writers on it, and pretty much just left it alone. So I can't say as how it's made me any money, but I am still impressed with the total package and admire Tiffany very much.
  • Brigitte Martinez Jun 5, 2011 @ 12:36 am | delete
    Great review! Being an eBook author myself I know that what I wrote is authentic so yes there are authentic people out there. I make $100 on eBay right now and do internet marketing and many other things. However that means only 10% to 10 things. Try to stop that. I really want to get this book. I see you mentioned it's free somewhere? If not, I'd like to buy from an affiliate link of yours. Only fair thing to do.

    Hi Bridgette, Thanks for visiting and commenting. Willie's book isn't free, and it's set up so that while affiliate links receive the paypal payment, the opt in and product delivery all belong to Willie. That's one reason the entire Willie Marketing Machine is so educational when observed and analyzed. All of the links to the book on this page are my affiliate links. I really should write a review of your book, as it's more practical and down to earth than many that I've purchased. I'll send you an email later.

    I found this to be a fascinating read! I have always wondered about the claims and I truly appreciate your honesty. I sell on Ebay, Zazzle and obviously write on Squidoo. I don't make a fortune and they are all work, but I have retained my integrity and I can sleep at night. I love that you said not to buy anything if it was going to keep you from paying bills or from putting food on your table. You're right. People do get desperate and will act too quickly. Much here to consider! Thank you!
  • BFS Apr 10, 2011 @ 11:51 am | delete
    CCGAL - your product review skills are awesome! I highly enjoyed reading this very helpful lens. I have always shied away from "make money online" offers, mainly due to my belief that a huge percentage of people making money online are making it from other people who are trying to make money online. It's a vicious circle that I refuse to jump into, because the only way to weed out the scammers from the truly helpful ones is to get scammed yourself a few times. That is until you came along (and other honest, helpful, knowledgable people like you). You help us aspiring internet marketers to weed out the bad from the good. Keep up the good work, you are indeed a reliable resource for helpful advice.
  • LisaAuch Apr 9, 2011 @ 4:49 am | delete
    I think with all of these books there is the good the bad and the downright ugly!, i too have bought several books, and some people say "they dont work" no the point is they all give us something to work with, we just need to do the work, was my internet success overnight...no I have worked nearly 3 years solidly day/night there is no "fast way" you need to be able to be openminded and read between the lines, I now do credit most of the ebooks i have ever bought with a part of my success, I can honestly say I have always learned something, whether it be good or bad advice, it has been a process, if you are buying ebooks, read through peoples reactions READ everything, some claim to make you millions in an hour, yeah they are making money from us buying it! great article from a wonderful lensmaster - to your success

    I asked for a squidoo genie to help me today in a lens... I only want an extra $900 a month! Maybe we should talk lol! I have purchased many programs and have been given my money back within my thirty days... maybe your information is what I need... Who knows. If I decide to use this program I will certainly buy from you and support your endevor :o)
  • CCGAL Mar 18, 2011 @ 8:35 pm | delete
    Squidoo is one of the few things I do that is at least consistent. Although I am not even close to the $100/month mark on Squidoo, let alone $100 a day, I enjoy the Squidoo community greatly, and my monthly Squid Pay is enough to cover my hosting fees for some of my other experiments. Honestly, it's a LOT easier to make money offline than online -- if you only need to earn $900/month, a part time job or selling on eBay would be easier and faster, I think. At any rate, thanks for the visit and comment!

    Perhaps I've underestimated Mr. Crawford. I follow him on Twitter. Due to your lens, I feel almost compelled to at least peek at the information. I have a goal to earn an amount that doubles at least yearly, me thinks I've set the bar too low. Thanks for such an insightful lens that reflects lot of what I feel about much marketing I see these days on line.

    I'd probably be earning a lot more if I could just leave my ethics at the door. However, I am extremely aware that at the other end of each transaction is a person who trusted me - I promote VERY FEW eBooks as a result. Thank you for your comment!

    I've hit it a time or two, just not consistently 30 days a month yet. I am certain, however, that it is not only possible, but possible to achieve without ripping anybody off.

    I thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog or lens page or whatever it is called on squido. You do not sound like all those ads trying to sell me a "FREE" download then want to charge me for the actual information.

    I am very impressed with your blog. You are well spoken and can tell you are speaking from your heart. Keep up the great work and hope your sells increase exponentially. I am one of those that you mentioned--the ones that the money to purchase the book would take away from putting food on the table. No one knows just how hard that is to be broke and knowing that it takes money to make money and there is no money to make the money.

    Keep up the good work. I will look forward to reading more from you.

  • dryder Oct 10, 2010 @ 5:34 am | delete
    I am familar with Willie Crawford's ebooks as well. There are a lot of online "gurus" who are doing well. What I have found in my own experience is that many people WILL download a book that will provide them some insight, however, very few actually take it a step further and put all the tips into practice. Your lens was excellent and gave a lot of insight ... what I love about it is the fact that it is honest!
  • Oct 9, 2010 @ 10:51 pm | delete
    I checked out this lens because I bought Willie's book a couple of years ago, with resale rights. I haven't sold a single copy, but that's because of choices I've made about sticking to who I am and focusing on my area of expertise. It's not internet or affiliate marketing. :)
    I appreciate that you shared all of your experience, including your skepticism.
  • mosaic Oct 6, 2010 @ 1:52 am | delete
    I can see your enthusiasm on this lens! I, too, joined up on Squidoo to see if I could make a little extra cash on the side. There's still a lot of work for me to do, but I wish you the best! It's always nice to come across a *well-written* lens.

    Well written lens with some inspirational tips in there! I am not sure whether it is fair to encourage anyone to believe they can make money on-line fast though. Most of the successful internet gurus admit that their success came only after years of effort. The success to any internet marketing is traffic and building traffic usually takes time if you intend to do it organically.
  • blue22d Sep 25, 2010 @ 10:37 pm | delete
    I have read many motivational books and purchase a few kits, most appearing legit (see like it was possible to do what they say), but I find the biggest thing you can believe in is YOURSELF. You have to be motivated, stay motivated and fired up and you can get there. It is getting and staying that is difficult. It all depends on what you want to sacrifice.
  • kiwisoutback Sep 24, 2010 @ 9:57 am | delete

    Great lens! I was a Willie Crawford twitter friend too.

I love how you followed up on this lens, Janelle.

    Haven't read it and probably won't. I guess I have a little prejudice against e-books.

I don't think I will buy the book only because I am trying very hard to get my real estate business to produce and computer time detracts from face to face time. But if I did want to really make money online.....this review sure makes this program/book sound like something worthwhile.

    A very honest and informative review of this product. I remember buying something similar (it wasn't htis product) a few years back, printing it off and then (stupidly) deleting the file from my PC. I did reasonably well in that I more than recouped my investment but - yes, you guessed the gist of the crucial bit - my dog got a hold of the printed copy! Shredded beyond salvation...
  • Ladydove62 Feb 16, 2010 @ 9:59 pm | delete
    Really great review. Just wondering if you have implemented some of the advice in the book and how well it has worked? I bought a few things last week and have been really good lately about using good common sense before making a purchase. I must say your review makes me want to buy:)
  • CCGAL Feb 26, 2010 @ 4:04 pm | delete
    Thank you. One of the biggest things I got out of the book was ruling out some things I thought I ought to be doing. A second "aHa" moment for me was the realization that I already know a heck of a lot more than I give myself credit for. It's not the be-all and end-all of internet marketing, but it's a good starting place and a fine example of a product produced by a group. The viral marketing concept is excellent, as well - the 100% commission set up is like a ripple in a pond becoming larger & larger, which builds Willie's list on virtual auto pilot. There's more to learn from this than what's written in the book.
