I started getting visitors from search engines!

Then one day, after reading several articles, it all came together. I honestly don’t remember whose article it was, or if it was even one in particular, but it made me realize that ads I was posting every day weren’t to buyers. They were to people just like me; people looking for opportunities to make money online. They weren’t going to buy my satellite dish, or my golf bags, or magazines or toilet bowl cleaner. They wanted same thing I did.

Information on how to make money.

I went into a frenzie of looking for and joining even more of guru’s newsletters. I figured they had more information than just about anyone. I now subscribe to about 30 of them, and believe it or not, I read everyone of them religiously.

Then I started searching for ‘information products’. Products that would help people like me.

I joined Clickbank (http://clickbank.com/index.html), where there’s a wealth of information products to sell, and you only have to join once (for free) to get access to about 10,000 items.

You get graphics, if you want them, or text ads, and just by typing in your user name, you get a personalized link right on spot. But best part is, you link straight to ‘gurus’ sales page, and they literally make sale for you.

(A side note: I don't make anything for referring you to Clickbank).

I didn’t know exactly what I’d done right, until I sat down and analyzed what had changed (another lesson I learned from gurus). I realized that I’d gotten rid of most of my other products, and I had become FOCUSED in one area...helping others.

And that’s when I started getting paychecks....
