I became confused. I spent a lot of time and money going one way, only to be sidetracked into a different direction by another well-meaning expert using an entirely different method.

I was about to give up whole idea and save what money that I had left when a phrase in one book caught my attention. It went like this: ‘There are as many right ways of setting up a business on-line as there are wrong ways. You can mix up lots of different wrong ways and still get it wrong. On other hand, if you mix up a number of different right ways of doing it, you are liable to have discovered yet another way of getting it wrong.

I am sure you can see point that I am trying to make. There are a number of right ways. Make your choice. Each guru has a way of starting and running a business. Pick just one guru and study his/her system. Don’t be sidetracked. Study your chosen system Your guru made it work. You can make it work for you.

Who are these gurus? I could give you a list. It would be subjective in as much that they may not be ones that another person would choose. The one that I chose may not suit your temperament. It is up to you to make your own choice. There are at least a dozen who are making a six or even a seven figure income who started from scratch with little money but a lot of determination. They made it, so can you.

Don’t ever give up. You can do whatever you believe you can do. Until you try, you have no idea of your potential. Go on. Give it a go.

That is about all that I can think of on downside. A lot of people are making a lot of money using affiliate programs. If you go about it in a business like manner you can run several affiliate programs at same time provided that they are all on a similar theme you can set up your own website to advertise then all.

That way you can capture names and email addresses of your prospects and customers. You will need to set up your own database and auto-responder but that is not difficult.

When you get to this point and you have gained a little experience, obvious step is to obtain resell rights to some books so that you can sell and keep 100% of income that you generate.

Affiliate programs are a very good training ground; use them to gain experience and a list of prospective customers. Then is time to branch out on your own and build your business but if affiliate programs are still earning you money via a website, keep them going, they are one of your best assets.

Who knows; you may end up with your own affiliate programs, with hundreds of members selling things whilst you claim 50% of profits.

Others have done it. Why not you?
