How to Make Money Online with Honest Riches

This is the very first e-book I bought on the subject of Internet Marketing, by Holly Mann. Since I bought it I have read it a dozen times, been sidetracked, bought other e-books all proclaiming some secret, and come full circle back to it. You can read a Review of Honest Riches that I wrote here.. Or even go and check out Honest Riches yourself!

Today I have been reading forums, although not productive it certainly irons out a few wrinkles. Sometimes it's just the way someone else will explain something, and suddenly that piece of the jigsaw fits, makes sense. I take notes all the time, then compile my goodies into notebooks. I like simplicity and a list, so I just keep breaking down tasks or learning into small chunks. When I'm not grasping something, I switch the computer off for the night, sleep on it and then see if it makes sense in the morning. This stops the dreaded panic and overwhelm that I read so often in the forums. Learn to walk before you run. I've been walking since September, now I'm ready to sprint! But treat it like a cross-country run ok! Pace yourself so you don't burn out.

Article Marketing & 3 Sales!

I've decided to go with article marketing combined with affiliate marketing. This involves finding a product to promote, and writing articles on that topic, for submission to article websites. Got it? Whew! There is a lot to take in but I did read somewhere to just focus on 3 items at a time. I will also do product reviews on those items I choose to promote. I'd like to purchase everything I choose to promote however that may or may not be sustainable at this stage.

So the last month has me been "sharpening my axe", so to speak. I have read and plotted and planned my ideas. I have now written my "To Do" list. The hardest part is learning to focus, and then plug away.

I've had 3 sales so far from just mucking around and trying a bit of this and that, so I certainly know it works! Next step is to write more articles in this niche, submit them, and social bookmark them. I already have 3 articles and a review on the product I'm promoting, so I'll turn up the dial and see what happens. Stay tuned...
