But I don't have an email from you :-(
At least I don't on cox.net, but I haven't downloaded FIB yet this morning.

Of the three I recommend, it sounds like Warp Speed Wealth would be your best bet. It's somewhat shorter than the big Internet Marketing Course, but its main advantage for you may be that it is VERY "step by step" -- Do This, then Do That, then Do That.
If you have a history of not following through, the "checklist style" might be just what you need.
ON THE OTHER HAND... it's entirely possible you've become an information junkie and you aren't going to follow through on anything, so don't let the words "Warp Speed WEALTH" influence you. It still takes a helluva lot of time and energy and plain old hard work to make any money at all on the internet, and "Wealth" doesn't necessary follow ("RATS!" I say).
HAVING SAID THAT... You're wondering whether to buy an Internet Marketing Course or an eBay Course, and my first suggestion would be to SLOW DOWN and think hard about what you want to do.
This site is an example of "internet marketing." You build a website that people want to read (and if they want to "hang around," it's even better). Then you go out and drag them in. It is definitely NOT a case of "build it and they will come." You don't have to have your own products to sell (although it's great if you do).
eBaying is completely different. You have to decide what to sell and find the products. Then you have to buy the products. Then you have to take pictures and write great listings and, assuming you sell your stuff, you have to pack it and ship it.
All require a huge amount of work, and if you don't stick with it, you won't make a dime. It could take a really long time to see the money.
Hope that helps you sort it out a bit.
Luv,
MaaMaw

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
