Testing is one thing that many of us simply do not do.  The make money online niche is so over populated that everybody has a theory and 99% of theories are unproven.  Given the level of misinformation the only way to test whether a strategy is effective or not is to try it for yourself.  Now that might be a pain but until you can find sources of information that you can trust (not at all easy) it’s the only way to figure out what works and what doesn’t.

I tried to resist but I couldn’t help myself and bought this eBook after reading many good things about it.  I have been extremely impressed and can say without hesitation that the sniper methodology George outlines in his book works.

I know a lot of internet marketers outsource work to the Philippines these days and the people they hire are diligent and hard working.  I myself have a small team of writers and webmasters and watching the devastation unfold filled me with horror and sadness.   Worryingly, I also have one of that team unaccounted for – the last message he sent told me he was about to lose internet connection as the water was at the door!

The disaster hasn’t been as widely publicized here in the UK as I would have expected but the country really does need massive [...] Continue Reading…
