About this time last year I realised I wanted a change from the company I developed some sixteen years ago. While I enjoyed most of those years the last few years we have had a few customer companies go under owing our company substantial amounts of money, which in turn took away the pleasure and created a certain amount of stress in the process. Time for a change, but what to do was the question?

I did realise that I was taking more and more interest in the knowledge based websites and from that I gleaned the idea of developing a business online. So for over nine months I have studied the hows and where fors. I bought into a number of junk products promising the earth and delivering nothing. Probably wasted a couple of thousand dollars (must be slow to learn) but each product taught me one or two useful things and forced me to look deeper and to recognise the scams and rubbish (sometimes I still get it wrong). But eventually I started to recognise one or two genuine people promoting making money online.

You might ask how do you recognise them? Correct me if I'm wrong but if you know, or believe you know, that a particular person has written thousands of words their character, their true self, has to come out in between those words. You just can't hide it.

One thing I certainly have learnt is that this is the most competitive business on the face of the earth. If you intend to stay in it for the long haul you have to offer quality products, great back up service and support and the training must be of real value, if you are to succeed in the business of making money online. Above all, you have to build trust in your customers and treat them well, very well.

About a month ago, maybe a little longer, I started to get e-mails from a few affiliate marketers promoting a couple of products that looked genuine and felt right. These Affiliates seemed to be sending me quality stuff on several occasions and I liked that as when an Affiliate starts sending me rubbish I'm fast to unsubscribe. Eventually I signed up to two of these products. One of them involved getting signed up in other sites, which was fair enough as it was part of the whole package so to speak and the other was fairly straightforward.

At this stage I want to focus on one product and I hope I get back some constructive feedback of experiences you may have had. Please, no third party stuff or hear-say.

What I intend to do is probably unusual but over the days and weeks ahead I'm going to write about my journey with this product and it's owner from start to failure, or success. I will tell you when a failure is my fault for not following instructions or whatever and I will tell you the cost and the advantages or disadvantages of every purchase I'm required to make in achieving the desired outcome.

First though, let me make it clear that in buying this product I had done as much research as was possible and what sold me was the 325 page online book that is free to download. My gut feeling on reading those pages was "Here's a genuine marketer," lets go with it.

I'm currently into the 12th day of a 30 day training. I will need to go back a little and then hope to catch up by doing an update every couple of days. The link below is the product I'm writing about. I will give you more within 48 hours.
Kind regards
