Making Money Online - 3 Top Selling Online Business Programs

Kim Hoffman goes from waitress to riches with "My Online Income System"

http://Yourmoneyyourlife.webs.com/

"My Online Income System" is ranked #1 in the online business industry. There's a reason for that. Having worked through this program myself, Kim Hoffman covers everything. It should be called "Online Business For Dummies 101" because it is a very simple program to follow, although there are no false promises made as in other programs. Kim let's you know it's going to be work and it is. However, her strategy is very logical and the step-by-step 30 day model is what most beginners need. Each day ends with making you eager to move on to the next. Dozens of benefits with this online affiliate program make the nominal investment well worth it. If you are one who has started other online business programs in the past only to get fed up and forget about it, this is perfect for you. If you are one who does not have a large amount of money to invest to start again, this is perfect for you. If you are one who is tired of working for someone else day after day, this is definitely perfect for you.

THE BEST PARTS OF THIS PROGRAM

...AND THE NOT-SO-GOOD PARTS OF THIS PROGRAM

~USER FRIENDLY; 30 day action plan lays it out in a simple, step-by-step program. Includes terminology, website information and some really informative e-books to read through that will truly enhance your online business strategy.

~STRATEGY; How to get traffic to your sites, how to do research for using keywords, how to set up a blog, how to organize your pages and stay organized...which ultimately keeps it more simple to manage AND the program is focused on not having to pay out for websites, traffic driving and so on. FREE fits my budget...how about yours?

~AFFORDABILITY; Kim makes no bones about where she came from and seems to understand that those that are looking into this type of business for the first time probably do not have money to invest.

~THE FINE PRINT; Kim emphasizes reading the terms and conditions of every website she points you to. Well, there's probably a reason for that as it seems that most of them had some hidden subscriptions or nickle and dime type fees.

~HIDDEN AGENDAS; After you sign up, you get this phone call for a consult. By the time you finish the call, they are asking you to invest a large sum of money to be a part of this mentoring program.

~OUTDATED MATERIALS; Although some of the program is being updated, there are a few sections that need to catch up with the times.

MY ONLINE INCOME SYSTEM - KEEPING UP WITH THE MONEY GAME



Another fabulous online money making business opportunity

...with a Millionaire Mindset

http://Yourmoneyyourlife.webs.com/

Mack Michael's can really promote himself and his online business program. He's not called the #1 online business consultant for nothing. Unlike Kim Hoffman's, "My Online Income System", Mack approaches his step by step program by having you join his club, "The Maverick Money Makers Club." Since we're doing comparison review, with "Maverick Money Makers", you will have a monthly fee...a hefty $97 monthly fee, however, the idea is to teach you how to earn way more than that in a short period of time so it becomes nominal. "My Online Income System" does not have a monthly fee. You pay once and you get a link to the members page where it all takes off from. Mack's program, however, gives you many options of diversifying your online income whereas Kim's program focuses more on blogging, writing articles, etc

THIS IS WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

AND THEN THERE'S ALWAYS THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT...

~USER FRIENDLY; For beginners and for advanced...this program is designed by a millionaire for the mindset of a millionaire. It starts you from scratch for the beginner all the way through to the novice affiliate marketer.

~VIDEO TUTORIALS; Video Tutorials and Lessons vs. reading everything can make a difference in your success in completing the program if you are not a focused person. If reading puts you to sleep, videos are a better option. The videos provided are very professional and easy to follow.

~SEARCH FUNCTION; This program has a nice search function within "The Club". For example, search "internet traffic" and will take you to the portion of the program rather than having to hunt page after page or video after video.

~UPDATED MATERIAL; Information is updated monthly including new niches to get involved in. Affiliate marketing is an ever changing venture. Regular updates are important!

~MONTHLY FEES; The monthly fees will add up to the tune of $1000 + by the end of the first year. If you don't have your finances in order yet, this can be a deal breaker.

~MISLEADINGADVERTISING; Advertising makes it sound like you will make millions without effort. Believe me, affiliate marketing takes a LOT of effort and attention.

~SHADY? MAYBE BUT NOT NECESSARILY; Some of the approaches in this program are not the best, such as preying on the unemployed by advertising jobs. In this economy, many people are looking for jobs...conventional ones. One particular method taught makes it sound like a conventional job but in fact, it's to introduce people to this online business program. It's a bit shady.



Another Great Affordable Internet Marketing Program

Learn from the "Internet Guru"

http://Yourmoneyyourlife.webs.com/

"Ewen Chia's 24-hour Internet Business" is attracting a lot of attention. You can get his online business program for a nominal price of approximately $24 of which gets you Ewen's business model on 13 videos. They cover everything the new affiliate marketer would need including domain hosting and set-up right down to choosing affiliate programs to partner with. If you are new to affiliate marketing, this is a great program to get you off and running at very little out-of-pocket expense. If you're not necessarily new but getting frustrated with where you are at, Ewen Chia has been playing the online business game for long enough that he's sure to be able to get you on a new path.

ATTRACTIVE POINTS OF THIS BUSINESS PROGRAM

...AND THE UGLY PARTS

~BEST OF BOTH WORLDS; This program offers reading material as well as videos to back up the information. If you're a visual learner, you're good to go, if you're an auditory learner, you're set as well!

~THE MANUAL; This program comes with a 101 page manual of "How-to's" on blogging, driving traffic, creating slide-shows and more.

~BONUSES; I just love spending a little bit of money to wind up with LOTS of bonuses! The bonuses have very valuable information and tools such as landing platforms, coaching calls, cheat sheets, etc. all for FREE!

~UM...WHAT UGLY PARTS?; Really there aren't any bad parts except that it can be overwhelming going through the portions that are aimed more towards the novice affiliate marketer. However, the more you learn about making money online, the more valuable this program will be. I really don't think you can go wrong with Ewen Chia's program. Although, I don't think you can go wrong with many of these programs.

"As Seen On TV" money making opportunity

Who doesn't find entertainment in those paid programs. The actors make me laugh...so dramatic. Anyway, early one Saturday morning, I couldn't sleep. I got up and turned the t.v. on and started watching, "Millionaire Secrets". Intriguing name. Well, they were interviewing a clean cut, well-put-together gentleman named Anthony Morrison. He made his program sound fabulous! For basically, $19.95, you can have a free hosted website, your own domain of which Anthony pays for and support, 2 books and a DVD. He talked about his vested interest in your financial future and in essence, since he has a vested interest, he's not going to let you down...like many other program promises. He makes it clear that his program is not a get-rich-quick scheme, you start by looking to earn your investment of 19.95 back. Something caught my eye though. In ONE part of this 30 minute program there was a very tiny disclaimer...something to the effect of some of the success stories were because of the members involvement in a paid support program. It kind of reminded me of My Online Income System. Now, like the other programs, you can definitely learn things from this program. However, the appeal of this program is that it's creator has been seen on many programs, such as CNN, FOX9, Los Angeles Times, and others.

It's great earning money based on your efforts.

You can't keep doing the same thing day after day and expect to have a different outcome.

Think you won't be able to find something to promote?

There are signs all around you!

Ever heard of writers block? Well, it's the same idea. You think you're out of ideas on things to promote or if you're just starting out in the internet marketing field, you just really have no idea where to start. It's easy really, though time consuming, sometimes. However, there are many tools you can use. This is a great starting place. Take a look.

I LOVE reading! Well, actually, I LOVE reading mystery novels. :) However, these books are great resources if you're looking to start in this niche. Web 2.0 And Beyond is probably best read after you've gotten a little more acquainted with things.

My family and I often have this discussion. Being the mother of two teen daughters, you can guess what their poll response would be. I wish I could save. However, I have a list of charities that I would love to give it to. Juvenile Diabetes for one! My husband and I are both Diabetic. Diabetes runs heavily on my side of the family so I worry constantly about my girls. I asked my husband this question and his answer, "Buy my wife a nicer home and fill it with whatever she wants." I DO love that man! I love to hear people's thoughts on this subject. Please share yours :)
