Work at Home Story

Hello, My name is Holly Mann and I am 23-years-old. I am making
$12,000+ per month working online and I want to share my secrets, tips
and resources with you. There are a lot of scams out there involving
people who are trying to make quick cash and do not care about the
customers. I am not like that. I understand your skepticism, so
throughout this site I will be bluntly honest and provide as much
PROOF as possible. Some people know of me from my ebook that I sell
online, but not many people know my real story. I'll try to sum it up
for you. I am a single mom and disabled veteran of the U.S. Army. I
was Honorably discharged from the military at the age of 20 - after
serving as a military Journalist, Photographer and Website Designer.
Within one week of being released, I started in processing with an
overseas company to work as a civilian contractor in Baghdad, Iraq.
This was 6 months after the war started and I stayed there for 6
months - until I felt that it was entirely too dangerous.

"Why am I telling you all of this," you ask... I want people to know
that I am 'for real' and I am not a big time internet marketing guru
type who you can't relate to.
I started making money online when I was pregnant a couple of years
ago. I started out on ebay, selling websites to mortgage and loan
officers. That made me about $900.00 per month. But that involved A
LOT of manual work, it was time-consuming and I wanted to create
something that would become an automated income stream. I then became
an affiliate with a web hosting company called Wild West Domains. I
would sell hosting plans to most of my ebay customers who purchased
websites. I still make about $150.00-400.00 per month from that (and
that was well over a year ago when I brought customers to my affiliate
hosting company).

So I started reading more, developing many more websites. I didn't
realize how profitable the internet was at that time. I began
profiting more and more, but it just didn't "click" for me then. I was
just like the majority of us Internet surfers who are trying
desperately to find a way to make money online. I created numerous
websites, promoting affiliate programs. One was: eHostingInfo.com and
I would refer ebay customers to that site and get $100.00 commission
per sale. Besides that and some other affiliate niche sites, I began
creating sites which profited from Google AdSense Ads. I also figured
out some Amazing FREE advertising techniques and Search Engine
Optimization tools and techniques. I even had a Search Engine
Optimization software program created called Content King (just
released). It is what I use to save me time so I can quickly optimize
my websites.

Although I started working online and designing sites 5 years ago, it
took a few years worth of knowledge all jumbled in my head for me to
finally have an epiphany. I came across a website online by a well
known internet marketer (self-proclaimed). I am not going to say who
this was because many people know him anyway. But when I saw his
website and the idea behind it - the concept - and how he was
profiting from affiliates promoting his ebook - it all made sense to
me. I didn't want to spend $97.00 on his ebook about making money
online. But, his sales letter was overwhelmingly appealing and made me
want to buy it. So, I went in with a few friends and split the cost.
After reading it, I realized that I knew almost everything in that
ebook already...except for the part about writing a killer sales
letter (I'm not the best salesperson) and one other tip that helped me
increase profits a little bit. Not only did I know what he was
detailing in his ebook, but I knew more ways to make money online
without start-up money. Ways to profit right away, without investing.
SEO techniques that he didn't even mention. So, I wrote my very own
ebook and went up against this well-known internet marketer and I've
had great success with it. I love opening my inbox to read "thank you"
emails and success stories every day from happy customers whose lives
have changed.

Prior to this, when I was pregnant and trying to live off of my ebay
income, I was struggling badly. I was receiving a disability check
from the military and trying to make it by on that. My son's father
and I are separated and I lived at my brother's house in a small room
with my young baby. I didn't want to owe anyone anything. I didn't
want to be dependent on my brother or anyone else for help. So, I sold
everything I owned and I moved to Thailand - a country which I lived
in 3 times before. I knew what I needed was TIME. My son had colic and
acid reflux so the first 6 months of his life involved a lot of crying
and not a lot of time for me to work. I knew if I went to Thailand
then I could afford to live there and I could use my time there to
develop more stable internet businesses - allowing me to create
several income streams. It was quite difficult when I first arrived
there with my baby. It was difficult to work online while my computer
connection was only 24 kbps and it took me over an hour to publish one
website. I went from $700.00 per month (not even a lot in Thailand) to
$12,000.00 per month within 4 months flat.

So, I want to save you a lot of time and money by telling you the
Resources which have changed my life and the way I do business online.
"Why am I sharing this info?" you ask...
I receive quite a few letters from people from all over the world. The
letters people email to me are sometimes extremely personal. I hear
from every single age group, from 15-70. I hear from people with
sicknesses, diseases, disabilities. I hear from single parents and
veterans. I want to help each person, but I don't have the time to be
a personal mentor or coach. So I am doing what I can with my free time
- to continually update my ebook with the best resources as well as
putting all my best resources on this website for all to see. I am
lucky that I have not spent thousands of dollars on get-rich-quick
schemes online. I haven't had to. Although I know how to make a good
living on the Internet, I always want to learn more and stay on top of
the ever-changing internet marketing world.

Affiliate Programs: Can I Really make Money?

Affiliate Programs: Can I REALLY Make Money?

As an Internet marketing consultant, I often hear the question, "Can I REALLY make money online with affiliate programs?"

To me, that question speaks of the asker's skepticism, so let's put aside any question of whether money is REALLY being made online before we look any further.

Thousands of merchants have put resources into developing affiliate programs so that others can promote their products in exchange for a commission, which is usually a percentage of the product's price. If there wasn't money to be made, Sony, Dell and those thousands of other merchants wouldn't waste their time and money building affiliate programs.

I personally know at least a hundred people who make marketing on the Internet their full-time occupation. If there wasn't money to be made, that wouldn't be possible.

I am one of those people. The secondary title of my ebook about affiliate marketing is 'How I Made $436,797 Last Year Selling Other People's Stuff Online'. Although I dislike that subtitleand its crass approach, it IS the truth, and it IS effective proof that money can be made online. The statement is backed up on the Super Affiliate Handbook homepage with a picture of part of my income tax statement from 2002 which shows my earnings.

See it for yourself at: SuperAffiliateHandbook

So, having dispelled any question about whether there is money to be made online, let's proceed to the REAL question. Let's take the emphasis off the word 'REALLY' and place it where it belongs - on YOU.

Can YOU really make money online?

Sure you can! IF you REALLY want to.

Desire is the first key to success. But here's where it gets a little tricky. If your desire is for money, as opposed to what money can buy, your work will be made much harder, if not impossible.

'Huh? Why is that?' you may wonder.

Money is a concept. In and of itself it does nothing for you, unless you are very fond of small rectangular pieces of colored paper.

If you focus instead on the good that money will bring to your life, such as free time and all the fun ways to spend it, then you'll give positive direction to your efforts.

Think about it.. what can that money buy you? The kids' education, a new car, a new house, a second honeymooon... how about a sailboat?

Dream a little - dream a LOT, but create some desire, and a REASON to work hard for what you want to achieve.

And that's the second key to making money online - Work.

Too many people still hold onto the notion of 'get rick quick'. I've got news for them - there's no such thing. You can get rich a little quicker on the 'net, but the truth is that nothing worth having comes without a price. You must invest some time and money.

Not much money, but some. Compared to starting any other business, the amount of financial investment required to start an affiliate marketing business on the Internet is negligible.

If you don't have one or two hundred bucks - or can't beg, borrow or steal that amount - then maybe you can get a part-time job and save up to start your online business.

No matter how you slice it, you won't find another opportunity anywhere that has the potential for this much reward for so little outlay. This IS one of the least expensive businesses you can start.

Last but not least - can you stick with it over the long haul?

Persistence is perhaps the MOST important quality shared by all entrepeneurs. That's why you hear about those who make a million, lose a million and then make another million. They go up, then down, then up again, but they never gave up.

You can't let the ups and downs get to you. Not everything is will go your way all of the time. You'll have to make some effort and it won't always be easy.

But, if you keep your goals foremost in your mind, learn what you need to know and invest your resources wisely and with persistence, you virtually can't help but succeed.

That's how you REALLY make money online!
