Hi guys,

My name is Benedict and I'm totally new to this forum and internet marketing in general. What are some good books/products to look at for good, solid, FUNDAMENTALS?

Just read all these posts in here for the first 2-3 weeks. There's a search function up there that you can use to narrow things down, and there's another subforum that gives away free e-books

Month Two: Decide if you really want to buy a bunch of **** when this forum is free!

DISCLAIMER: Sorry to you guys selling stuff!

I would suggest you to get stuff from Andrew Fox X Factor affiliate, I do find its great for newbie.. I buy it for one ofmy friend and guess what.. He earn 300++ in a week from clickbank.. Ok its one out of three.. lol

My advice is to stay away from the forum, You wont move anywhere if you keep looking at this forum.. Warning! Information Overload!!


Regards,
Vince

It is ok going down the free route if the information you are getting is worth reading but you have to remember that a lot of free stuff , although not all, is just regurgitated crap written by people who know nothing about Internet Marketing or running a successful business.

I have been in business working for myself for over twenty years and am very successful and I wouldn't have recommended my new book if I thought Benedict Wouldn't benefit from it greatly.

I don't need the money and if Benedict can find what Benedict is looking for for free then great. But you need to know that when a product is given away for free it is usually because the information is either now obsolete or the original owner has moved on to other better things.

Excellent Vince!

If Andrew Fox X Factor affiliate had been blue, I would have thought you were steering the new guy to an "Affiliate"

Yeah,

You can get lost in here, but it sure beats paying for every new plan that comes down the pike.

Hi Benedict,

The main basics you need are:

1 - Creating a business plan before you jump in to the details of different tactics.

2 - Building your initial business based on your core strengths.

3 - A realistic expectation of where the money will come from and how you intend to use it.

4 - Positive cashflow - watch this VERY carefully, many people spend more than they're making and don't even realise this is a problem.

5 - Priorities - Don't ignore your family to do IM and don't make it all about the money. The whole point of having IM as a great strategy to build a business on is that it allows you to do it from anywhere, spend more time with your family while making money doing what you enjoy - and also allowing you to make a great living.

If you get your priorities the wrong way around you can screw up everything, so before you get into the technical details of how and where to spend your time, attention and money - Be sure you have a plan that gets you where you want rather than just move you away from what you don't want.
