| How To Cut The Learning Curve |

When reading the Marketingtipps of online Gurus their most urgent advice is: it's best to market an electronic product, and of course, it's dead easy to make your own - just buy this little software from me - click HERE- it writes e-books more or less by itself, just choose a subject that interests you or are passionate about, it might even be something as mundane as "how you handled your teenage-kids through puberty without the boy landing in jail and the girl wanting to get married with 16...there are millions of parents out there eager to pay a price a little under US$ 30,- for this advice.
Now - think again - this Guru should know better - but what happened here- actually? HE sold a product - and he gave you advice - FREE advice? And the software may even be quite useful- more than likely, a good one. But what this Guru wanted in the first place was - to sell Mummy his piece, and maybe a second piece of software thrown in at discount price, and Mummy buys it and spends up to US$ 50-60; a fine package - is it not? Can you see what I mean? The Guru has made a deal, whereas YOU are sitting in your little home-business office wondering when the first US$ come rolling in from your "self-made" product.
That's exactly what happened to me! I'm a talented writer - so they say. It would surely be easy and fun to write my e-book on various subjects I'm expert in. Surely. But when checking on the typical sites I quickly saw - I would not stand a chance to MARKET my product, no matter how good it was, online. Because - yes - because it's a jungle out there in cyberspace! I would have to spend a small fortune and end up defeated, since I had little idea about online marketing and certainly no sales-list. How could I possibly put my product in the spotlight of prospective buyers, competing against the millions of other products out there?
So if you are like me, a person with just a modest marketing budget to put into campaigning, and no expert knowledge, I searched and found, it's best to join a group of experts that take you by the hand, lead you through the jungle by marketing proven and very popular products and create a 6-tier income stream, so that I could see my first dollars rolling in pretty soon and break even with cost. And all the time you learn, learn learn...how to market products online! Join such a program during holidays, giving you enough time to invest many hours at the beginning while you learn to install one winning strategy after the other. Although the system is pretty much automated, you'll still have to fine-tune your tools. The Guru's claim, you don't need more than 10hrs a week, well - this may be so, but frankly, I have not reached this level yet. However, once you earn more money, you can outsource more, so in the end this may be true!
Even though, I have not given up on my dream to write my own e-book some day. And today I know that even if it's a mediocre product, when presented professionally and marketed perfectly, it will SELL, and I'll laugh all the way to the bank!
A home based business is STILL a business = meant to make money, instead of just pouring money into the cyber-void. So, you can actually cut the learning curve and join a winning team, grow your income streams, and while doing so - start creating your own products. With a little luck
