Please Alleviate my Scepticism
What I don't understand is that if they do so well with adsense, amazon, clickbank etc, why spend time promoting 'how to make money on the internet' when they could just actually be 'doing it' with what they advocate?
Obviously, the 'how to' guides are money spinners. But it just concerns me that these guides may well be the real sources of income for the 'gurus' as opposed to actually doing what their guides tell the readers to do in the first place. Do they, or have they, made serious money from the tips and techniques 'revealed'-or is their revenue made almost entirely from the guides themselves?
It's plain to see that guys like Frank Kern etc are masters of hype and are hugely successful salespeople. But have they actually made fortunes on what they preach, as opposed to the ideas they sell?
Even within this site, there are many who say they're doing great-yet havel 'how to' product links at the foot of their posts. Surely if things are so good, the time putting 'how to sell on the internet' guides together can only serve as a diversion?
I apologise in advance as this may sound insulting to many. But, genuinely and sincerely, I'd love to be educated-there may well be something I'm missing. In fact, I'd love to be educated and 'put right'! And here's why: The idea of making money online is very appealing. Whilst I'm far from oblivious to the fact that any success needs copious amounts of hard work and time, and it won't happen overnight, I like the idea of at least being able to choose for myself when I put these long hours of hard work in. Also the fact that you don't need thousands to get started is appealing.
I'm not afraid of hard work and spending many long hours achieving success, but I see so many posts from people on here who come across as intelligent people who seem to be really struggling. And, so often, there are replies from people who are 'doing great' yet seem quietly to be trying to sell 'how to' products in their signatures.
So, is the only serious money to be earned online made by selling products telling you how to make money online?? Again, apologies if this may sound insulting-I'm certain that the vast majority of posters here with 'how to' guide links in their sigs are genuine, sincere and honest people. But I'd love to hear others views and be 'educated'.
