You hear about fraud, losing money failing at your attempts and these certainly can be a nerve-racking tension creators . BUT, anyone looking to work at home can expect to find big paychecks with the right training, time and patience, searching techniques, tools and any past skills you are likely to have attained in your life.

So where do you begin? There are a lot of programs available online. Use Google™ (for example) to search for online business opportunities. Experiment with search phrases. Try not to compare features or options based on how much money they say they can make. This is an inconclusive determination and can draw you into fraudulent areas  or “scammers”. One good resource is the Scambusters. Check it out - Scambusters Free Newsletter. Scroll down their web page to a large box that will let you sign up with just a first name and email address. They will ward you away from evil-doers. Another good site is Truth or Fiction. I always check out email articles that sound way too good to be true or way too scary. Especially when the author says “Send this to all your friends” ! Find out the truth before you become a fool!

While searching, examine how safe each program appears. Do you need to pay an “unexplained” fee just to get you started? Never choose one that charges an upfront fee with without a clear and explicit reason.  An organization of trustworthy business people will certainly be surrounded with great grammar and correct spelling. Spellcheckers and grammar checkers are included with most GOOD editors and those who don’t use them could spell trouble.

Next, determine how their business or program works. Focusing on marketing is often a great feature that you might consider as a trustworthy option for working at home. An audio resource or video resource is far more beneficial than reading a 20-60 page ebook (Electronic online digital book). Interestingly enough I bought a package of Ebooks to study. Most of them were pretty good. One in particular (don’t remember the name ) I deleted and burned it! The author was very “articulate” about proper word selection, spelling and grammar when developing a sales page, for example. YET, this very Ebook was FILLED-TO-THE-BRIM with violations of everything he told you not to do. This author was a hypocrite! So you WILL find some bad here and there and be prepared to accept that it IS out there. This will be part of your learning curve. Don’t be discouraged.

Especially, look for offers and opportunities that have a money back guarantee! Give them a try. Keep the stuff that raises your interest and excitement and return those that definitely were not what you thought they were. Check out some of the links on the right side of my blog for starters. On-the-way you will undoubtedly discover (or trip over) even better ideas, or your subconscious will trigger you to use “other words (keywords) to search on the internet for more great opportunities. Check out a lot of Blogs (a contraction of the term “Web log”).

Many of the recommended sites, and cool links will lead you to bigger and better opportunities. It may not always be a particular niche that peaks your interest, but it will be all the great stuff you will DISCOVER along the way. Search for particular newsletters or forums and take leads from “them”.

Being successful on the internet will require knowledge and tools. There are TONS of both out there that can do your work for you. Look forward to building lots of “little” niches and automated product streams that “collectively help you find your way to peace and prosperity $$$$$.

Watch out for the “get-to-be-a-millionaire-in-a-few-days” opportunities. If it’s “too-good-to-be-true”, it probably is, or you will discover a lot more questions that need answer (solutions).

So get out there and TAKE ACTION!

This blog is primarily directed to John Thronhill’s MasterClass students.

I am sure, however that many others will benefit as well.

We recently conducted a Webinar for the JohnThornHillMasterClass students.

Thank you John, Steve (support), Dave Nicholson and others that helped to make

 this first one a pretty good success. Some of us had some difficulties however.

It was conducted using GoToWebinar® Services and Software. I was personally

not familiar with this package as a “participant”. I have since started to learn,

it seems to be quite powerful. 

When this webinar was conducted, there was an unforeseen glitch

that took place thanks to the United States changing most of it “zone” time

clocks shortly before this event. It certainly caught me off guard as I was still

expecting to see it at 1:00 pm Mountain Time in the United States. Fortunately,

I just happened to be browsing around over an hour before the event.

However, about 5-10 minutes before 12:00 pm (my time) I received an Email from

John saying the Webinar was about to start shortly.  An HOUR early for me!!

Fortunately I had (just barely) enough time to install my USB Web Phone

Headset/Microphone. I followed the links from logging in and heard “hellos”

from lots of people. Unfortunately my “hello” was never heard nor acknowledged.

I began to wonder if my microphone was working. I didn’t have time to test nor

confirm this before it all started

So I dialed-in using a wireless home phone (not cell phone) and also heard

some talking,  but again I received no “response” from my HELLO-ing.

What was going on I wondered?? I saw the Hand Icon whose functionally

appeared (to me) to be logically in reverse of what I would expect. The only

way I could figure it out was to click it and wait for a hover message indicating

that my hand is up (or down) even though the ICON DID NOT APPEAR

the way I expected.Anyway, I got disconnected from my “dial-up” and after

re-dialing, entering the access code. I heard a pre-recorded woman’s voice

saying I was only  going to be allowed to be in 1-way HEAR mode and

could not REPLY/SPEAK to ANYTHING ?????.

I did not hear this during my 1st dial-in time OR from my Web Headset.

I had both the Web Headset on AND the wireless dial-up phone on at the

same time. I could hear from both just fine. BUT, when it came time for

Q/A, I NEVER GOT acknowledged that my HAND Icon was up for a question

and it had BEEN UP for a long time. I had a couple of  responses I

could have shared regarding some questions asked by others.

But I NEVER  got to speak.

There were several other on-screen GoToWebinar® whistles/bells

I was not familiar with using as well as what phone buttons (if any)

were active for special commands. ?????.
 

THERE ARE SOLUTIONS – KEEP READING

Shortly after it was over, about 10-20 minutes later I received an Email

from GoToWebinar(tm) saying they were sorry I had so much difficulty

(how did they know ?) and they were willing to let me try their SERVICE

for 30-days no charge! I did not reply. Bit it was obvious to me

(as in other webinars I have attended) that SOME kind of webinar

service/software was involved to make this all happen. But I had never

seen documentation as to how all this worked, from GoToWebinar®.

It would be nice to get some “documentation” about how this works with

Web headsets,  dial-up headsets, useful commands and so forth LONG

before the webinar and also some way to “experience and test” all the
features, in some sort of simulation, so that some “familiarity” with this

GoToWebinar® software could be achieved BEFORE a live webinar.

This particular software was quite foreign to me as well as apparently

quite powerful.

Well I am happy to say that I have explored and found a LOT of

documentation that would be quite beneficial to all of us to access

and study before the NEXT webinar.

This link https://www2.gotowebinar.com/en_US/webinar/pre/support.tmpl

has many PDF files and links to other related documentation. Besides this,

I would strongly suggest checking out the link labeled

Search Online Help for GoToWebinar for some great information. There you

will find OTHER PDF files and I would suggest you pay particular attention

to the linked marked Audio Best Practices.

Hope this was beneficial to at least some of the MasterClass students?

Oh, and I certainly learned more about Webinars than before. This class is

offering a LOT of really good learn-by-trial experience.

I received an Email from John Thornhill about “Your Software Website” It sounded intriguing so I followed the links to learn more about it. After reviewing, John’s short but detailed video about this package, I following the links to Dave Nicholson’s Sales page. Here there was another detailed video and many more documented details about this package offer; Your Software Web site”.    After reading all the details about this package, I was thoroughly impressed. All/most of the work is done for you. Just upload it to your server with a domain, enter a few simple “adjustments and options” and this thing literally takes care of itself

I ended up purchasing the “Your Software Web Site” … AND … the “Your EBook Website Add-on” package. These packages are FULL of opportunities for both software sales, EBook sales, audio book products affiliate links, Click bank links, rotating adds and a much more, including a lot of features that I don’t fully understand … YET”.  I would have to say it is one of the best offers I have seen recently and would recommended it t others with Start-up websites in mind.
