I was intrigued with your style, your vocal inflection, and the fact that we share the same last name! My husband and I are new to this business, but we are learning fast and having a ball. I'm just developing my website, which has the objective to help couples, parents, and families learn healthy options for living, communicating, and earning income--finding treasure all around them. Thanks for the insights you shared! They were fabulous and I took a lot of notes while you were talking.

Full time from day one, out of desperation and necessity! Started out selling real world products online, not digital, (selling wood on Ebay, of all things), though we now have a growing stable of affiliate sites,(credit cards etc.) as well as a PLR article site which is 2 years old and still growing. (I love that thing!) The wood is still doing o.k. too, though most of our customers now buy direct rather than from Ebay. To be honest, I bought 2004 edition of "Insider's Secrets" back then, glanced thru it, never picked it up again. (It's still on the shelf behind me!) Truthfully, I learned more from Ros's old newsletter at that time, than I learned from "Insider's Secret, 2004". While info gathering and education, (self or traditional), can definitely expedite the success journey, it is my own experience that the most crucial ingredient for success in ANYTHING is just taking action......any action. Hands on action will teach you faster than any course, book OR forum can...believe me, you'll learn FAST about what works or doesn't work! Be warned...some books, ebooks and courses can lead you as far astray as some of the knowledge garnered from forums and the like. Conversely, some of the knowledge I gathered while surfing forums has been BANG ON! (With reference to the forum comments above) You should be open to all knowledge, regardless of the source. Use common sense, try the things you trust, disregard that which you don't. Make a plan and follow that plan, changing it as you go, eliminating what doesn't work , improving upon what does. Ros, I have followed you since 04, (that's been an education in itself! LOL!) and I don't know where this comes from, but I always thought you were a student of Martell's. (A student who re-educated herself afterwards to do things the right way!) I probably have you confused with someone else who did the Martell thing. (McDougal?) I've never made a million dollars on the Internet, but the internet did help make us millionaires. (On paper anyway.) We made enough on the internet in our first couple years to get out of debt and buy property...a lot of property by some standards. If you google my name, Michael Rytter, you can read an article in the Province newspaper where I'm on a rant about the 2008 property assessment on one of our properties. The above isn't meant as bragging, but is meant to show those of you who are "spinning your wheels" that success, both online and off, is within reach OF EVERYONE. You need to want it, though, and be willing to take action. Just buying courses and ebooks won't do it for you, if you do nothing with the education they provide. (I wasted YEARS doing the above. YEARS.). In our case, the "desperation" factor was crucial. It "KICKED" us into gear. Otherwise I would still be like most other folks....just be buying the next course, the next ebook, the next "Butterfly", the next MASS CONTROL....reading some of it, the rest gathering dust on the shelf behind me, waiting for its next new neighbour to arrive. Thanks Ros, for the neat stuff you do and provide. Michael Rytter My wife and I have been full time on the internet for more than 5 years now.

Through Derek Gehl's monthly Entrepreneur CD I learned about you, and purchased "Super Affiliate Handbook" around the beginning of the year. I have definite ideas for several sites, but need to get one up and running. I hope to be able to report back soon that affiliate sales are kicking in. I will also need to get "insider's" back out (I did read it all the way through!) and go through it again. Thanks for your sites, and your inspiration.

I learnt alot but after spending alot of time and money I realize now not enough emphasis was placed on the importance of keywords and finding a profitable niche (if I had put the same effort into a profitable niche I would have surely had an income by now). I have found the IMC forum (Internet Entrepreneur Club) very helpful with experts giving advice (much quicker than I received in my mentoring course.

I've definitely been spinning my wheels. I have spent loads and loads of time on forums and what I get there mostly is an assortment of everything that all the others posters are selling.
