Make Passive Income From The Comfort Of Home

To The average person the idea of making a passive income from home is only a dream. Most people do not realize the vast potential of the internet, a medium commonly used everyday, to make a residual income with. Many more are frightened away by knowledge of how easily people are scammed into buying complete crap, and how it happens daily.

However, scams aside, it is possible for a person to make money with little more than a computer and internet connection. Here is a quick 101 on what they hype is all about. Affiliate marketing is a method by which you can act as a third party, directing people who are looking to purchase things online to a vendor, and then receiving a cut of the profits from that vendor if that person makes a purchase. There is the very simple formula to making money online and creating residual income for yourself. This is an excerpt from an online marketing course called micro cash machines (which I highly recommend), and it says everything anyone wanting to make money online has ever needed to know
"Find a niche(market to promote) with low competition and create a website for that niche.(...and then drive traffic to that site) Sounds simple, right?"

Of course, there is a lot more to it than just that, however, this is just the bare bone basics of what you need to do to set up a passive income for yourself. There are numerous ways to go about doing this, an this is where all the internet gurus come in and sell you all sorts of fancy packages that instruct and either promise to semi- automate or completely automate this whole process. As well, you'll be shown many flashy pages that promise fortune, financial freedom, vacations, being able to quit your job, extremely attractive girlfriends or boyfriends(whatever your into), fancy cars, boats, waterfront property etc. You get the same story of a guy who was just like you, tired of being jerked around and scammed, until he discovered the key to being rich, "this" elusive key he's willing to sell to you for $49.00. If you haven't seen these sales pages, you likely will. I've been unfortunate enough to be blessed with affiliate marketing A.D.D (term coin from "Bring the Fresh" affiliate marketing course, which comes by high recommendation from me as well!) and I ALWAYS get suckered in by these sales pages. In retrospect, I can always see right through the silver lining, but for some reason when confronted with these sales pages I'm like a blind man being faithfully lead by a leash.

As if anyone having discovered any such key to said riches would ever even need to sell you anything. I'm not a greedy man, If I found such a key, and became rich using it, I would GIVE that key to as many needy people as I could (I'm a bit of a hippy, love, peace and equality!). If ever a key actually did exist, word would spread like actual wildfire. Instead, what has been spread is an general awareness of just how many scams there are, and how many people are getting rich riding on the backs of others broken dreams.

I'm here to set the record straight, or at least as straight as I can. I could write a LONG list of internet marketing courses/software that are complete and utter junk. Along with a list of courses/markets that are "okay" but still require you to spend tons of money on other software once inside. Instead what I'll do for you, is compile a list of courses that I have used (or am in the process of using) that have proven to yield actual RESULTS for me, and which I think have a very good network and support system in place to help those who may have troubles with following technical instructions(me). I'll write a short, personal review of each product. Keep in mind, these are my thoughts and ideas, (and I do not claim to be any kind of expert) and in no way reflect those of the vendors of said products.

Passive Income Here We Come!

Three Programs That have Worked For Me

In all of my trials of being suckered into multiple affiliate marketing coaching courses, and or software programs, I can name 3, that's right, only 3, that have proven to be of any value and that have payed dividends for my investment of money and time.

The first and foremost course that I can recommend to the complete novice is called "My Online Income System". This is the first course I ever bought and went through that actually managed to help me start receiving a passive income. This course is amazingly excellent, full of information that is broken down into an easy to follow format. The course is comprised of a 60 day action plan, with a plan for each day moving you towards a complete understanding of how affiliate marketing works and how you can use it to accomplish making a passive income. You can move ahead, as I did, doing several days worth of plans in one sitting. The dedicated person could easily finish this in 30-45 days. Once you've completed the action plan, you'll have a very well rounded knowledge of how the system works, and from there you can just replicate the process as many times over as you like, setting up multiple sources of residual income. This complete understanding is where many other courses fall short, they give you just enough information for you to "need" their services to fill in the gaps for you, and of course, their services come with a price.
Once inside "My Online Income System", you do not have to spend money to keep learning, like with many other affiliate marketing education programs that require you either purchase their software or sign up under their affiliates services to continue your education. Aside from being chalk full of VERY helpful resources, this system is also the only system I've seen where, if you are having troubles processing all the information, you can have a personal coach assigned who actually calls you (on the phone, skype, or email) and walks you through things, helping you every step of the way. These guys really do genuinely seem to care about your success, which is why I give them my very best rating. I highly recommend this course to any newbie in the affiliate marketing world. They do not make fancy promises that they quickly fall short of like the other sales pages, but offer you honest advice and tutoring.

The second affiliate marketing course I recommend is called "Bring the Fresh". This course, like the first, is chalk full of no BS, straight to the point info. It is presented in both text format, and video format, (I followed both, as it gave me a better understanding of the material). It walks you through, in a very clear and concise way. This course easily cuts through all the crap that other courses cloud you with, crap that intentionally keeps you dumb and wasting time on menial tasks that could easily be accomplished by other means. There are a few drawbacks to this course. The information on keyword research, which is vital to any successful affiliate marketing campaign, is left mostly up to a piece of software called the market samurai, which itself is about a $150 investment. I've tried to get this software by other means, if you know what I mean, to no avail. It's guarded well. $150 is a steep investment for many, but for those willing to shell out some money for a VERY useful piece of keyword generating,/market research software (market samurai), this course is a wonderful choice. If $150 seems a very steep initial investment to you, then I suggest you start with the first course, "My Online Income System", and use the earnings from that to buy the software (available from their website for download). Once you've done that you can move on with the "Bring The Fresh" course. I highly recommend doing both courses, they are both very informative, and offer slightly different methods to achieve success. The more knowledge you have, the better, for knowledge is power, and in digital space, power equals passive income!

The third course I recommend is called "Micro Cash Machines" This is a short course, I went through it in about 4 hours, and had my first site up and running... and I still make money from that site. This is a software/course combo package, you'll see lot's offered. Most are complete crap, but this, this is the "golden goose" my friends. The information is not as easily laid out as the first two courses, and a person completely new to affiliate marketing might be confused by this, however I feel that a person with average tech skills (like me for example) could get this and have a site up and running in a short amount of time. I recommend if you dive into this one, that you do some research about "keyword research" first, as this is not emphasized enough (I think) in the course. Also, you will have to pay for domain and hosting with this course, which may turn some people off. Negatives aside, this is a short and sweet course, which is refreshing after spending many hours watching boring training videos and reading dull ebooks, and offers a piece of software that builds a small niche site for you, and uploads it. Works well, and if you know how to employ it right, would be well worth more than what you pay for it. Again, I recommend "My Online Income System" even with this course, because it gives you a fuller understanding of the mechanics of online marketing, and would help you to better employ the software from "micro cash machines" to get you the most for your sites.

I have created this page because it was one of the steps in the "My Online Income System" course. If you're interested in starting working from home, and setting yourself up an ACTUAL residual passive income, I highly recommend one of, if not all three of these courses. They are, in my personal, unprofessional, humbly happy opinion 3 courses that WILL start the ball rolling for you to make your own passive income.
