hullo,
I've read the tutorial a while ago, and although I don't remember everything at the moment, that doesn't matter right now, because I get usually stuck right during the first page reading. It says there approximately), one just has to build a very good website with lots of good and interesting articles (information), a.s.o., a.k.: one has to know a lot about the subject, and has to be an author/writer by profession and/or talent. On the other hand I read your (positive) review of Myleena's salesletter (software), where she claims one shouldn't choose a niche by what one knows or likes, as these niches might be either very competitive or not profitable, and she's of course right; if the niche isn't profitable, then what's the use of marketing there? Now I would like to ask a question on this (I hope it's o.k. to ask this here inside my comment):

How is one supposed to be (or become) an author/writer for a niche that's profitable, but one knows nothing or little about, and build a really good and interesting website for it, and on top of it has difficulty being an author/writer generally speaking (and no money to hire somebody to do the work for him/her), but needs urgently to create enough income through a home based IT-network marketing business? Otherwise I'm happy there's such a thing like this free tutorial; it's probably good enough, but I personally have no idea if I can really implement it, as I'm a person who usually needs the human factor while getting taught something new and (at least for me as a computer, tech- and IT-dummy) rather complicated (even phone call possibility would be better than only on-line contact). Any advice for the above mentioned "niche-know nothing" and "author/writer" problem? TIA!

[For your first website, it helps enormously if you already have a keen interest in the topic you choose. However, it is possible to BECOME keenly interested in something new. You'll often find that the more you delve into a topic, the more you become interested in it. It helps hugely if you have good writing skills, but many affiliates who don't write well still succeed. They succeed because their genuine enthusiasm for the topic shines through. You can research topics online, in libraries and by reading magazines and books. You can also interview people who do have the knowledge you want. You can do this by phone or email. You can succeed without having tech skills, especially if you choose the Site Build It! option which I recommend. You can also team up with a friend or neighbor to discuss things or join a computer club and ask questions on our affiliate forum. You can look at the hurdles and say "It's too hard" but you'll never really know unless you make an attempt. Don't expect to earn good money very quickly. It takes time to learn and build a business. Our affiliate forum is a good place to discuss such things. However, don't make the mistake of analyzing things to death and never actually taking the first step. You won't know if you succeed until you try. Allan.]

Allan.
I need to make money relatively quickly. I understand content sites are the way to go. Since time is of the essence, should I concentrate on building a blog, or a full-fledged site. From what I understand, blogs are easy to build, and they are essentially web sites. What is your take on this? Thanking you in advance for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Rosalie

[Yes, blogs are websites. Yes, they are often relatively simple to create and run. However, building something quickly is only part of the challenge. There are two factors which are much more important than your choice between a website or blog. 1. Will your blog/website be search engine friendly? 2. If your blog/website is not search engine friendly, do you have other strategies to attract traffic to your site? There are millions upon millions of websites and blogs which linger in the doldrums, almost never seen by anyone. Whichever path you choose in affiliate marketing, you must learn how to get targeted traffic to your site and how to achieve sales and/or AdSense revenue. Allan.]

This is nothing but a rehash of what everyone else is selling. Get a life!
Neil

[I have a life, thanks, and it's a very good one because of my experience in affiliate marketing. Allan.]
