PotPieGirl is Awesome

One of the hardest things for people just starting out in affiliate marketing is learning the ropes.  You probably have questions like
  • What do I do first? 
  • Where do I start? 
  • What the heck is affiliate marketing anyway? 
  • Am I really going to be able to make money, much less earn a full-time income, just using my computer?
I will start by saying this: I myself am not at the level of a full-time super affiliate's income, reeling in tons of cash every day.  I am not making enough to quit my regular job.  But I am earning enough to pay for my side expenses and buy extra Christmas/birthday gifts I couldn't afford before. :)

When I was first starting out, though, I had no idea where to look.  And that is the case with many people new to making money online, whether it's affiliate marketing, online data entry, or anything else.  The scammers know that, and they're out there to prey on the uneducated.

That's where people like PotPieGirl come in.

PotPieGirl's whole claim is being an internet home mom who went from building her first website, having no clue what she was doing, to a very successful, 6-figure-earning internet marketer.  She runs a blog of informative posts, articles, videos, tutorials, and a whole wealth of useful information.

Here's the thing about PotPieGirl though: she's the real thing.  She talks about her life, how she learned, what she learned, and how learning it was possible to make money online changed things for her.  She writes useful, quality information that can be applied to all facets of making money online.  She also has a free guide on how to make good Squidoo lenses - which, for anyone without money to invest in advertising as an affiliate, are a great way to build organic, quality traffic to your sites.

PotPieGirl tells you exactly how she did it in One Week Marketing, which is probably the single best resource you can invest in if you're new to affiliate marketing.  So if you want a place to go to learn the ropes, visit her website and get One Week Marketing.

Disclaimer: PotPieGirl's strategies are tailored towards people who have to make something from nothing (i.e. don't have capitol to invest in affiliate marketing ventures from the start).  If you don't fall into this category, OWM won't be the best use of your funds.

Review of Maverick Money Makers

Straight up and simple review of the Maverick Money Makers system by Mack Michaels

Maverick Money Makers is a membership site/ecourse that teaches you how to make money online using websites.  They teach you how to promote various products (affiliate marketing), which means eventually you will be paying promotion costs.  Initially these are not much, but they will add up.  You can, however, also do free promotion methods like blogging and article marketing; it will just take more time to see your efforts pay off.

Here are the pros and cons of Maverick Money Makers.

Pros: 
  • Fast response team
  • Live phone support 
  • Tutorials on Adwords, classifieds, CPA vs. CPC affiliating, etc.
  • Hundreds of different tutorials; many of them are videos
  • Mindset Coaching audio files from successful marketers such as Mark Victor Hansen and Anthony Robbins
  • All ebooks and marketing materials are provided to you after you sign up
  • Refund time of 60 days if you aren't happy with the product

Cons:
  • Costs $97 to  sign up and $97 per month recurring 
  • Initial expenses necessary like domain name purchasing ($5-$15)
  • The cost of staying in the program is high, though most affiliate education programs like this charge a lot


Is it right for you? 

If you are serious about getting into making money online and want a good, solid program that will teach you how, Maverick Money Makers delivers.  Everything you need from the very basic starting tutorials to the actual websites and ebooks to promote is given to you in the $97 membership fee.  This system is essentially like an online degree program for affiliate marketing/online money making through websites.

Do not get Maverick Money Makers if you do not want to put work into making money online.  This program requires work to make it work.  The only way to get the full value of this course is to be prepared to invest at least 2-3 hours per day in website creation, promotion, and link-building.
