You want to make some money? Sell something. The biggest seller on net is information, or info-products as they are often called. Info-products cover a wide range of sales, from small scraps of time sensitive information, through news-sheets and regular newsletters, all way up to full sized electronic books.

The beauty of it is that there is no stock-holding to bother about. You don’t need to fill spare room with mounds of paperbacks. All that you need is a little space on your hard disc to store files and a way of passing on copies of these files to your customers.

You keep original to sell and sell again. Once you obtain right to sell, you never have to order new stock of that particular item. If information is something that you have written yourself, you own copyright. It is yours to do with as you wish.

The easiest way to get started is to join an affiliate program. There are some good ones out there. Be selective. Don’t jump in with two big feet with first one that you see. Choose something that you are interested in. Something that you would like to own and read. It is always easier to sell something expensive that you like, rather than something cheap that is of no real interest to you. If item on offer is real value for money, price is of no consequence. It will sell.

My great granddaughter said I was too old to learn to use a computer. The trouble with younger generation is that, they think that just because you are getting old, you are also becoming stupid. At seventy three I suppose I do seem ancient to a twelve year old. Never mind. I decided to show them by example. A second hand computer and an old Epson printer cost me £200.00. Evening classes on how to use internet were free to oldies like me.

I soon had myself set up with ‘Freeserve’ with my very own email address. They call themselves Wannadoo now.

It was not long before I was getting e-mails from hundreds of people and companies that I had never heard of before. I learned my lesson regarding junk mail. I changed my email account and started all over again.

There was an affiliate program that looked interesting. I kept on getting references to it from various sources. The idea of earning a little extra money to boost my pension was very appealing.

I took plunge and signed up. They gave me a ready set up web page with everything controlled from home base. All that I had to do was to advertise program and money would come pouring in. (What a hope.)

Two months went by with no income. Just outgoings. It was then that I discovered a book called ’30 Days to success.’ By Stone Evans. (You can get it for free.) This is one man who knows what he is talking about. It showed me exactly where I was going wrong.
