It seemed like a good deal at the time
A good deal? Guess again!
Finding a product to sell… Building your website… Setting up your shopping cart… Optimizing your business for the search engines… It often seems as if starting your own money-making online business involves a heck of a lot of work, doesn’t it?
… Sometimes, don’t you wish you could snap your fingers and have a ready-made business fall into your lap?
I understand the desire for shortcuts…But the truth is, if you don’t put in the work right from the beginning and control as much of your business development as possible, how can you make sure you’ll be able to keep that business alive and growing?
This is what I worry about…
… I worry that your desire for shortcuts will lead you into a deep pit you won’t be able to escape. I don’t want you making any bad decisions that will drain you of valuable time and effort… not to mention money!
And the scary thing is, these kind of risky, go-nowhere shortcuts are being presented to you as "incredible money-making opportunities" all the darned time.
For example, in response to my recent blog post on the challenges currently holding you back, a reader named Lawrence wrote the following:
"Still trying – still spending – getting nowhere. There are good looking websites for sale on eBay.co.uk for around £150 including good domains and the drop shippers already set up perhaps this is a way to to get around the techie prob. and concentrate on marketing alone."
Lawrence, you have to ask yourself: If any of those websites are capable of making ANY sort of money whatsoever, why would their current owners be selling them for only £150?
… Why would someone go to the trouble of doing the market research, building the website, and making the site profitable — only to sell it for a lousy £150???
They wouldn’t. (Not unless they were completely crazy!)
Even if the business was making only £150 a month (which works out to just under U.S. $300), it makes far more sense to continue generating passive income with it than to sell it for a mere month’s worth of profits!
Heck, even if that business was making only £50 (U.S. $100) a month, I’d still hang on to it, rather than sell it!
So in other words, those £150 websites are not, repeat NOT, potential money-makers. And the only thing you’ll get for buying one is a £150 hole in your bank account.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again… Beware "business in a box" offers that sound WAY too good to be true!
They probably are.
You’re FAR more likely to achieve success with a business you’ve built yourself, from the ground up, than with a website someone just hands you.
However, if you’re still overwhelmed by all the work needed to get your business off the ground… I have great news.
Starting your own business from scratch really ISN’T all that hard!
In fact, you can do your market research, build your website, set it up for sales, and start seeing orders in less than 1 week!
And later this month, I’m going to show you exactly HOW to make that happen.
I’m going to release a FREE 4-part video course in which I am going to build a brand-new money-making business completely from scratch — in just *4 days flat!*
If you want to to see me go through the entire process of building a business from start to finish — in just 4 days — I invite you to click here to claim your "front-row seat" now.
… And in the meantime, just say "NO!" to any more "short-cut" false opportunities. Take complete control over your own financial destiny NOW.

Hi Derek
Yes I’ve been scammed, conned and spent a hell of a lot of money as well.
This is what I have been looking for:-
A step by step (designed for newbies)system that teaches and SHOWS YOU what you need to do in order to get your own internet business up and running. I’ve bought loads of stuff but still can’t get off the ground – I’m not asking to make a million dollars next week – just a way to get started without too much upfront cost, so I can make a small monthly income that I can expand with practise and more experience.
regards
Graham in U.K.

While starting your own business from scratch might not be that hard, it’s very hard to make it a success rather than one of the $100/month businesses you talk about having no potential for huge growth.
It’s meant to be hard because if it were easy, then everyone would be doing it and the entire marketplace would be flooded so not very many people would succeed at all.
