   Hi Steve

   I couldn’t agree more with the points you have outlined here , When I first started looking into earning on line I too fell into the trap of thinking that it was the so called “make money” portion of the market, you know the portion with all it’s “Scammy” Products “click here and start earning a thousand a day……and so on.

   I am glad I came across you a couple of years ago and I have been on the correct learning curve ever since.

   Learning the fundamentals in any business or trade correctly is essential for your FUTURE success.

   Keep up the great tips, it doesn’t matter how long we have been in this industry we still all need this stuff.

   All the best….Peter

   I understand where you are coming from, yes! it takes alot of hours on the computer at first and alot of reading. I have over Hundreds of books about of the Things you need to know about internet marketing in general and books about software and etc. I Fill like a freshman in this business, still learning and always will. You have inspired me ‘Thanks’ for your help.

   Steve, you use the word “expect” in the first few items above and I believe this is where problems start for beginners. The expectations are wrong, it’s almost tragic because they were influenced by misleading ads, they get frustrated, quit and this could have been an opportunity of a lifetime for them.

   I hope more people align with realistic expectations so they can better understand how the Internet can be an opportunity to own a business and create future wealth.

   I have been a member with Steve for about 6 months and have experienced most of what he says on this page. I used an approach of short term goals like learning the basics of seo, html code and then becoming familiar with the word press administration panel.

   I found it to be important to remember that “good is good enough” because if you try to learn to well in the beginning you become discouraged due to slow progress. As I proceeded to the next topics that needed to be learned I would find that a review is necessary, however learning past topics became easier because I now knew why I needed to know that.

   After knowing just enough I published my first site at http://allaboutflying.net and felt a relief that I was finally live on the web. I built links to it for about a month and became a little discouraged because I didn’t know how I was doing (at that time I didn’t have Market Samurai). Also I wasn’t satisfied with the appearance of the site and it’s lack of doable keywords to produce more pages so I decided to put it on hold.

   Now my second site at http://rccontrolled.net may not be the best around but I think anyone would agree that it is a fair amount better that the first. After 6 weeks of link building my home page is #5 on page one of google search.

   So that is a brief overview of my progress. I would recommend that you stay with Steve to get the details you will need as you progress.

   Hi Steve,
   didn’t talk a long time. I am still on your list, silently following up your blog articles. Again a great post, 100% like it is.

   Making money on the internet, especially with affiliate marketing is a dream job: can work from home, can work from anywhere and anytime you like. And the income is without any physical or contractual limits, except the ones being connected with your abilities and laser-targeted, goal oriented working efforts.

   But, to make a dream come true, there is hard, cruel work in the beginning. Otherwise not only anyone would try this method, also everyone would succeed. It’s a hard time, first few years. But if one goes all the way through, it can really be a life changer.

   For beginning, but also more advanced marketers I can also advise to use Steve’s blog here regularly and intensely to learn and apply his methods. At least this way you have not to learn everything the hard way, but can shorten at least a huge part of the learning curve! Wish I had such a great resource on affiliate marketing available, when I started out 10 years ago!

   Hi Adam,…Try this: http://wordpress-17920-39382-109004.cloudwaysapps.com/find-a-niche/

   There are tons and tons of niches…once you “get it”, the problem becomes that you think of too many of them all the time 🙂

    Couldn’t agree with you more Steve. Building the web site is the easy thing. Finding a micro niche and keywords to match then manufacturing traffic is the difficult part.
    I think we all spend most of our time in front of our keyboards tapping away.
    If you can still manage to find a micro niche within the big niches then you can still make some dollars.

    Yes, finding niches is the key. But truthfully, it’s really pretty easy. Most of the people that consult with me in my “Talk to Steve” program start off with that problem: “I can’t find a niche”

    With just a short Q & A with them, and a few minutes of research, that issue is easily solved every time.

    Yes this is very easy,to target traffic on a keyword is not an easy task.
