Everywhere you look on the internet, and every day in your inbox, you will find marketers and ‘Gurus’ offering you the latest ‘sure-fire’ way to make sackloads of money for doing very little – or even nothing!

But before you reach for your credit card yet again just take a moment and ask yourself this: Do you realistically think that you could set up any ‘normal’ business and make it successful just by buying a $99 ebook and then sitting back while the money floods in?

No, I thought not. You will very soon be on the road to financial ruin if you follow such a path in the ‘real’ world of commerce.

So why do you think it’s possible to do it online? I’ll tell you why:

Here’s a little bit of advice you may be interested in if you produce any form of viral marketing publication. You know the sort of thing: ebooks, reports, courses, reviews, etc.

Never use any link inside the content that you can’t control or change later.

You should always use redirect links from your own domain when putting any kind of link inside your ebook or publication.

Most people will insert their affiliate link for an affiliate offer inside their ebook that they are hoping readers will click on and earn them some cash.

Big mistake!

They can easily become obsolete, unusable and therefore unprofitable.

I’ve been visiting the UK for a week or so and it’s been a while since I had a rant. I’ll soon put that to rights!

You can’t seem to go anywhere on the web these days without coming across some internet marketer or other telling you about the value of website visitors from the various social bookmarking sites.

Each of these so-called ‘gurus’ would have us believe this traffic is essential to our online survival.

I beg to differ.
