Hi, Jenny,
A very sensible post but you probably missed out the most important question of all:-
"Do you believe that you can make money by doing nothing?"
It is absolutely staggering that thousands of people - every day - swallow the line that you need to do nothing to make a fortune in Freds Forced Matrix, hand over their money, do nothing and then wonder why they don't collect the cash.
Hundreds of people make vast fortunes exploiting this gullibility by making wild, sensational and, basically, dishonest claims about what their latest programme will do for you. Quite often the latest, greatest pile of excrement is produced by the same people who produced the last ditto - but they have made their money with that one - so need to start afresh.
Due diligence is very important but a little common sense is far more so.
If it wouldn't work on the high street - why would it work in cyber space?
If this was something you would never consider in the real world, why would you consider it in cyberspace?
The number of internet marketers is relatively small but they prey upon each other like locusts in a corn field - don't you think it would be a good idea to try to make money from the vast majority of web users who are simply looking for a product to satisfy a particular need?
Make angels.
Make jewelery.
Supply recipes.
Supply services (real ones - not made up internet ones).
Enjoy what you do and let it be something you can tell Fred, next door, about and he will understand what you are saying and what you are offering - whether he knows the internet or not.
The Old Coot
