How To Start An Online Business Without Disappointment by Rick James

If you want to know how to start an online business, then don't ask an expert, a guru, or someone who is a millionaire. That kind of person is making so much money and is so busy that they don't have time to help a beginner.......someone like you. But even though they won't help you get rich, YOU can help them get rich, because it's people like you that keep them in business. Keep reading, and I'll tell you how it works.
Gurus, or experts who have been in the business for a while, have no desire to help you uncover the secrets to how they made millions of dollars, because if they did, you would be taking money out of their pockets. Instead, they offer you a few free bits of common sense advice, and then offer to sell you the "REAL" secrets in their online course or book. So you pay them 50 bucks, or $99.95 or whatever, and you get your material only to find that it's not quite so easy to get rich. Most of the time, the books and audio courses that promise to tell you how it's done, only depress you because you find out that it costs lots of money to run a business, or the material is filled with information you don't understand unless you buy more material.
Some people who are online gurus and running huge network marketing businesses, they will spend thousands of dollars per week in advertising, pay-per-click, google ads, phone burners, and tools and assistance, and so they earn millions per year by contacting and recruiting people just like you who buy their stuff. You see their ad and pay 50 dollars, and so do another 1000 guys just like you, and BINGO, the guru made $50,000. Meanwhile you have the same information that 1000 other guys have so that just means that YOU have 1000 new competitors, doing exactly what you are doing.
No, I think contacting a guru is a waste of time if you want to start a home base business or online business. If you really want to get into an online business, if you want to cut through the confusion, avoid the roadblocks, and have success and be earning money, then find someone who is ahead of the curve, is honest, and has learned the hard way. Find a good coaching center or trainer, but NOT a guru or industry giant. It's the giants in the industry that just want to take advantage of you. A trainer gets paid for TRAINING you...and isn't that what you really want and really need. When you get training, and when you are being coached, then you're going to be motivated to keep going while you're training and learning the secrets how to start an online business. There is no online business where you can get rich quick, and buying a simple e-book or course for $39.95 could end up buying you more real world disappointment than online success.
