Think you can’t do it? Think you can’t make 2k a day with no hands?

YOU ARE RIGHT!

But a good percentage of you might try anyway, right? Why is that? Never-ending hope? That’s rigth! Every day I am hounded by products that promise this (or that), with no work. Not just less work, but NO work.

For the newbies, let me cut to the chase - buy NOTHING, EVER that’s main selling point is that there’s NO work involved. Never, Ever, buy a single thing that starts that way. In fact, buy precious little that ANYONE is ever trying to sell to you on the internet …

Do those words confirm your worst fears?  That everyone on the internet is a scam?  Here it is, said by an internet millionaire, whom is sure as hell out to sell you something, confirming your worst fears. Pretyy scary eh? Yet, not scary enough, because…

That being said, many of you will purchase anyway, lord knows, I do.  I’m a spendaholic. I buy no less than a course or tool a week. I’m a true-bred US Consumer though. I get panic attacks if I’m away from Amazon.com 1 click orders for a day. I fear I may have become addicted to the purchase process of internet marketing junk…

So, now that I have come clean, and protected those internet beginner’s whom might listen to me in their quest for internet freedom and lifestyle, let me share a single golden rule!  This, learned from tens of thousands of wasted dollars …

If a product’s main selling point is its lack of work - it’s NOT for you.  It’s likely a scam.  Simple as that! Why? Well, simply put, if you really want to make money, you DO want to work.  We’re smart people - we realize that success does require work. In truth, we simply want to work smart - we’d like to save time, but we know there’s going to be a significant time commitment regardless of what we invest in.

So, where do you start? Where do you start if you really want an internet business? I wish I could give you a solid answer. When I look at the sheer amount of misguided information, to say nothing of the scams, fraud, and outright lies out there, I tremble for those getting started. Honestly - it’s not a path I’d like to tread. I’m happy I got my training in relatively early …

So what brought this rant of a post about? Well, the 10 offers in my box, each terribly similar to the last, each landing page well crafted (very well crafted), and an honest fear that … how can I break through that amount of noise? Honestly, how can anyone not willing to sell out, or honestly trying to stick by their principles EVER break through the sheer amount of hype-noise? It’s a scary marketplace not just for consumers, but also for the real internet marketing teachers, and business builders and consultants …

It’s a scary prospect, and one I will ruminate on as I buy my next course on how to make money without a website or a list …

Update to Google Adwords: Ads Under Review, Ads Pending Review

Here’s an update to my earlier post about Adwords ads starting to take a LONG time to approve. In fact, all my campaign’s ads are now marked as either “Ads Under Review“, or “Ads Pending Review“.  So, I hopped on with online chat to try to find an answer.

Here’s what I’ve dug up!

Evan Margolin: did my account get flagged in some way? Is there any way I can speed that back up?

Christyn K.: All ads are reviewed when they are submitted. There are times when there are far fewer ads in the queue and your ads are reviewed more quickly.

Evan Margolin: Just trying to figure out why my campaigns used to start in minutes (literally, like 10 minutes) and my last two campaigns took days to begin … any idea?

Christyn K.: There is no way to expedite the process but I can confirm they are in the queue and awaiting review. If you edit your ads, they will be resubmitted into the queue.

Christyn K.: It was a pleasure chatting with you Evan.

Evan Margolin: thanks
