This is why the chances of not making it online are 90 to as high as 95%! The people who are making it are just selling the people on their suckers list more and more stuff they will never figure out how to use. However, there are ways to learn the process of selling products online and affiliate marketing which are not only inexpensive, even free in many cases, and more importantly, do not require you to enter your name, address or e-mail information!
This way, you really can get the education you need to proceed in creating an online business without having to Opt-In on someone's mailing list. I am the type mailing list who would prefer to do my own research than to blindly move along with what the next "Guru" has to say. It can get expensive and you can still be spinning your wheels after trying to follow the Guru's program.
As in any business venture you need to be tenacious and dedicated to making a go of it. When you consider that 90% of those who attempt an online market plan quit before they succeed, the online market place is a huge, huge playing field with room for all types of people, with all types of ideas. We each can be one of them, and we each can succeed to an acceptable level if we stay at it.
