Me, Ive been reading alot these past months, seo, marketing , affiliate, ads, etc
Ive started a test 1 month ago ( Poker Tips & Strategies - Become the best poker player you can be, i dont have too much time to put on it, and it was just something to get started, to see how things work.
I know the poker scene is very exploited, i wasnt looking for big results with this test, its just learning.


I think i should consider wholesale reselling on ebay...

Gimmie your opinion on what you would do ?
No offence but its pretty much like Diorex said if you are quiting your daytime job to do this their is one hell of a good chance your just fucking yourself over, it takes time to test, time to build, time to do everything, its not as easy as having the money to invest you need to learn through trial and error, you have to know how to market, you have to know how to test, you have to know your keywords, you have to know your research, you've got to know the things you still haven't heard of.

You say you are a newbie at this and that for a couple of month's you've been reading, well that is good and all but reading for a few months is nothing, try reading for 2 years and then testing, keeping, and monitoring your results for another 2 years. If you are quiting you job because of the long hours and think this will cut down on that think again, be prepared to easily work 16 hour days, 7 days per week.

I'll stop their but seriously I've seen way too many newbies quit their job because they've heard that internet marketing is easy to learn and with the amount of people online they think its super easy to make a good monthly wage, most have it in their heads that if I can get 5000 out of the 9 million people online to give me $1 per month I can live awesome and what they don't realize is that it'll cost them quiet a bit to get that and for a very large amount of newbies it'll cost them every dime they've got including your $8K.

I'm not trying to put a damper on your spirits here but its the cold hard truth, some people have the ability to pull it off and you might be one of them but the majority have high hopes and don't fully understand what is involved until its too late and there in debt beyond their wildest dreams.

People always ask, "What is your greatest failure?" I always have the same answer "I'm working on it right now, it's gonna be awesome"
