I've read so many hypes about marketing gurus and the tons of money they are making. Is it real? the figures look incredible. What I want is just the basics on starting and not all these techie things you are asked to buy.Thank you

Do not try to start an Internet business. Start a business that allows you to use your passions.\n\nDetermine what you are good at and what you love to do. Then research to determine if there is a market for it. Do you love making jewelry? Start a jewelry business. Are you good at graphic design? Start a design business. \n\nOnce you know what your business will be, you can decide if you should do business on the Internet. "Internet" is not a business. It is one way of reaching customers.\n\nAnd you will have to learn some "techie" things, unless you have the funds to pay people to set up your Web site and all the things that go along with that (shopping cart, merchant account, search engine optimization, pay-per-click ad campaigns, etc.). \n\nThere is no magic to making money online. It takes hard work, just as it does offline. It is certainly possible, but do not expect that you will get rich with no effort.\n\nCome up with something (a product or service) that people want, find those people and tell them about it. That is the simple formula for success in any business.\n\nGood luck!

Yes I agree with you. So many fake companies out there in the internet even in Ebay or Amazone. Don't trust any bull&*(t in the web that offering you business at home. Absolutely bull&*(t they are. Lately so money scam artists are offering sweeptakes, money loundry, and etc, please be carefull with that. The origin of email is from europe and africa. \n\nMost likely any company that are registered at a trade source should be legitimate because trade source is not cheap and they will investigate the company before selling but the problem is that you can not do business in retail, at least your class is around wholeseller or trading company. \n\nThe best thing to do business is trading - affiliate - agency (middle man). Find most demanded products in your area/country and get cheaper source outside worlwide and offer to some companies that need the products badly. You may learn it at alibaba.com or made in china.com. Enjoy!

Mannatech is very healthy for whomever talks you into buying this very overpriced supplement because the incredible mark up allows the seller to not have to get a real job while they continue to sell pipe dreams to the emotionally vulnerable.\n\nhttp://www.lerachlaw.com/lcsr-cgi-bin/mil?case=mannatech\n\nForget Mannatech and treat yourself to a very nice vacation.

It's a great company with an incredible product..especially offering Identity Theft Shield.  I would suggest you market it to your friends......  I am a Director for Pre-Paid Legal and have saved myself THOUSANDS of dollars in legal costs.....  Don't listen to all of the negative talk about it... I have met Harlan Stoncipher...founder and CEO... this man has a vision to make legal help affordable for everyone.....  Sit down with the person that sold it to you and spend time asking questions and learning about the history of Pre-Paid Legal...\n\nAs far as MLM... it's more like the INsurance industry....INsurance agents get a commission on all their sales plus a residual income for the life of that member....

There are tons of scams and huge start up fees!!\n\nI personally sat down and made a list of what was imporant to me. I wanted a company that had a clean slate with the BBB, one that cared about me and my family, one that had a proven track record and was dependable, free training, great support team, no selling or stocking, and no large amount of money to start up!\n\nI am a single mom so anything over 30 dollars is big!!\n\nI have found what it is that I was looking for and they met all of my requirements. That is the best advise I can offer you!

tej ~\n\nBefore taking anyone's half-baked advice about which opportunities to accept and which to reject, you must understand that:\n\nA.) The name "multilevel marketing" is merely one of several given to a legitimate business model, not unlike the terms "franchise," or "traditional brick and mortar."\n\nC.) The gritty "facts" given by "psd1941" about working in MLM are NOT universal. Whether or not you'll need 'ample convincing power' or will need to work 'not less than 8 to 12 hours a day', or '85% of your down-line will remain inactive' are not hard-and-fast truths, but are possibilities which are almost exclusively determined by your choice of "opportunity."\n\nB.) I agree: there are few worthwhile opportunities to be found among the thousands of less-than-worthy ones. But they are out there. In order to avoid the numerous “undesirables” and narrow your choice to one of the few worthy ones, you'll need to arm yourself with solid, practical info that will enable you to tune out the "white noise" and use discernment in making a wise choice.\n\nPurpose to do this first ~ equip yourself with the honest, practical information you need ~ and these time and energy wasting experiences need not be a part of your experience.\n\nCarlos Whitfield\nContributing Editor, "MLM The Whole Truth"

Hello.  They're still in beta and are looking to charge commission when they move out of beta. They say 15%, so I guess it won't be free for ever and yes, there is a catch!  I guess they have to pay for their technology and people somehow.  Good luck with your business though!

I had never heard of it so took a look after seeing your question.\nIt looks to be quite good, and there is a reference to ebay on it (Obviously trying to steal some ebay customers).\n\nSo at first glance - yep - it looks good and I will be taking a better look at what they have on sale there. Of course, until you can find someone who has actually bought something, then you will not know for sure, but I might just buy a small item, just to test them out.\n\nI'll post a question if and when I have a go, to let you (And anyone else) know.\n\nHows that? Sorry I did not actually answer your question, but at least I took a look at the site.\n\n:-)

- I have been studying SEO (Search Engine Optimization) for the last (2) months, I bet I have looked at more pages then some people who do it professionally, You should read Google's take on it! - They have a page up on it that basically says it can't be done legit. They are very wary of scammers- \n\nI built personally www.bishamon-pallet-jack.com a very small market product, I mean How many folks are looking for a pallet jack? especially a 489$ one!? - so the point you have to pick your keywords, Our were Bishamon Pallet Jack, focused on Bishamon which is our "Niche" - Next I started studying you can do some good stuff in hours using www.seochat.com  - But be weary of "Black hat" techniques - These will get your site banned. - If you search " Bishamon  Jack " without the quotation marks , we are #1 on google, this has resulted in around 4k$ in sales this week. You can learn alot about webpage design on www.webpagesthatsuck.com .... This guy is a genuis.\n- Sorry this answer is all over the place. If you would like me to take a look at your site email, my email is my nickname @yahoo.com - Later, Richard BOwles

I was intrigued by your question and wanted to further investigate this web site.  My first impression of the website was that it looked like it had been put together by a team of Jr. high web class students.  The web site looked extemely un-proffesional and looked like it had been put together with out much thought.  First red flag, Any company with enough money to pay employees hundreds to thousands of dollars for a few hours of work, could deffinatly hire a proffesional web desinger to create a decent home page.  Did you notice a lack of out side links The only link i found that took you any where was one that took you to "consumer reporter.org.  I must admit by this time i thought well if they have a major consumer reporting company endorsing their company maybe they are the real deal.  I guess i wasn't too surprised to find that "consumerreporter.org" was obviously a site made by these guys to make their company look good.  The same crapy designs, the same poor acting testimonials, cheesy lines, poor images (the icons they have aren't even links, shouldn't those take you somewhere?  or maybe they just didn't want their page to look plain), I also thought that it was interesting that the only product this supposed company has ever done a consumer report on is Itidata.  you couldn't see any other reports on their page!!!  Sounds like a scam to me.  Interested in some of the icons i found on their web site (the ones that dont take you any where i decided to investigate and find out what those sites where, I was surprized to find out that they were real legit sites.  I did a search to see what they said about this web site and almost fell off my seat laughing when i saw what they themselves had led me to.  Here is a letter from a lady who was unsatisfied with this company, you can find this letter on your own by going to www.complaints.com and typing in ITIdata in the search field, well here it is:\n\nMarch 2, 2006 \n\nHello,\nMy name is Mira and I would sincerely appreciate it if you could help me out. Please take the time to read this and find an honest solution. I purchased the itidata training manual after visiting the site consumerreporter.org and the www.itidata.org site. After downloading the manual and reading it very carefully, I realize that the information promised does not appear to be anywhere. The instructions for settting up a clickbank account are there and the link to the clickbank website is there but, no links to the the names of the companies listed on the itidata website. After attempting to follow the directions and sign up with these sites I realize that they ask for a website on which you can place their ads by cutting and pasting their links or they ask you to sign up with other sites by purchaing advertising tools and space. I would like to point out that the manual strictly says you dont need your own website for this and it also says you don't have to be an expert at using the internet and it also says that no extra costs would be incurred. But going to these sites I see just that. I searched for a member area on the site and called their 713-866-6212 number but found no help as promised to their members...they say to call from 9-5 central time and I called 5-6 times between those hours but got \nonly a recording. There is no response to my email which they say they would reply to in 24 hours.\nI don't know what to do anymore. I have studied the manual 5-6 times but this is all that it says.\nI can only pray that I have not been scammed. The truth is I am a part time student with a minimum salary and new to the country. I don't have money to throw away especially this kind. I need to become financially independent and am not looking to earn obscene amounts of cash. But I would love to have \na legit and regular way of doing this. I would like to get started ASAP on this and I request you to help me. I have full faith that as a consumer protection org y

I agree. You're going to find the same principles in a book as you would in the class. In order for a certification to be worth anything, it needs to be from an accredited school.\n\nDon't limit yourself to guerilla marketing techniques either. If you want to be truly effective, round out your marketing knowledge by reading other marketing books too. Try anything by Al & Laura Ries, like The Fall of Advertising and the Rise of PR. Read any of Dan Kennedy's stuff. Even though there will be points you agree and disagree with in every book, these authors have proven their effectiveness in the marketing world, and their advice is golden, as are many others.\n\nBrandon O'Dell\nO'Dell Consulting\nRestaurants/Retail/Bars\nbodell1@cox.net\n(316) 361-0675\nhttp://www.bodellconsulting.com\n\nFree initial consultations

I just read an article in the Tradewinds magazine about how Asian women, from former CEO's to housewives, were the biggest money earners in our international company. The next trillion dollar industry is the health/wellness industry. So you would want to get with a firmly established, debt free company that is doing business in over 70 countries, has over 40 physical offices, 7 cafes, ranked the 4th fastest growing company of any kind in its first 6 years, and has an unduplicatble product being called the next coca-cola, allow them to take the financial risks and you get the rewards by payouts of 53 cents on every dollar. That's what I did and the income with no experience has surpassed my professional income with a master's. I know you are a single mother like I am, and this was definately the right company, with the right product, and it came into my life at the right time. With your comedic and outgoing personality, you may want to take a serious look at this company (www.TNI.com/1934177) and (www.TNCafe.com). Good luck to you. While you're researching, you can listen to a toll free, pre-recorded msg about our company at 800-242-0363, pin 4055. Contact me if you want more information.

I've read most of Kiyosaki's books and found them to be sound advice rooted in reality and not in selling seminars like many of the current crop of real estate gurus. I've bought real estate with no money down long before I read Kiyosaki's books (or even Robert Allen). When I bought my first 3 unit building I was living in my car and working on commission only. Keep in mind, the real estate IS the collateral, along with your good credit. If you have no substantial income, consider finding a partner, or group of partners who do. I used to split real estate purchases with another individual who would qualify on the loan with me. I managed and maintained the property while he just supervised. Kiyosaki's advice is some of the best out there if his objectives truly appeal to you. Remember, Poor Dad was content just being just an employee and I know many people (the majority probably) who prefer that life. For that matter there is no reason you can't do it both ways, especially if you understand Kiyosaki's advice about smart money.

I like it. Is it selling well?\n\nIt is very hard to tell from the pictures exactly how it will looks. The ad is also extremely busy.\n\nBut, as I said, I like it.

As a Singularity enthusiast, I understand where Google is going with this, business models should be focused on 5-10 years in the future…HOWEVER,  are we a little EARLY. There is no EPaper yet. If I look at these mags, I am not going to get the the AdSense magiv ad serving technology. I am probably going to receive look at a 1and1.com advertisement. Not sure Google is owning that attention the same way they do on-line. \n\nhttp://360.yahoo.com/jcbroogley

ClickNGoWeb is a new business based here in NC.  My student teacher's father got in on the ground floor;  she signed up shortly thereafter.  They know the owner of the company personally and can vouch for his intellect, character and reliability. They're already making money for doing nothing!  \n\nThe distributors have the option to sell lank template bwebsites or to make and sell websites or they can simply sign up early enough to reap the benefits of others signing up later.  I just signed up and I'm already #1365 to sign up.  My intern has already made her $189.95 back plus more, so I figure this to be a failsafe venture. You only need to get 2 people to sign up under you, then they get 2 they each of them get 2 more and so on.  The money is supposed to roll in slowly but steadily. I am but a humble schoolteacher with a small child and a husband who loves to golf.  I just want to live comfortably; I don't care about getting rich. \n\nFeel free to email me for more information. Cheers.\nCourtney
