Here's my story. I've been a software developer for about 6 years now but I never really got into Internet Marketing until this past April.
I attended a seminar from a person that own a software that generated a lot of webpages quickly to earn income from Adsense. I bought into the product which cost more than $500 a month in membership dues. That is a bit when you have a mortgage and grandmother to take care of. But I've been building websites left and right.
Its really overwhelming for newbies out there because we just want to buy all the products out there. But one thing that I learn is to just go back to the basics and learn before you keep buying more products. Its actually just going to slow you down if you never get good at one product first.
So I stopped myself from buying products and I've just been reading blogs, articles, websites and anything I can get my hands on to increase my revenue with my websites.
Even though I'm not earning enough to cover the fees right now, I believe that as long as I keep on keepin on, the money will appear, little by little. And of course I would use that money to reinvest into the business by buying more courses because learning should never end...even if you are making 10K a month from passive income!
P.S. congrats Jason on your success with launching this product!
Im not quite sure if this counts, but here it goes.
I was born with SVT a heart condition and asthma.I started internet marketing when i was 10. I am now 15 and have just been learning because I thought I would have to learn until I was 18 and put everything into effect then. Well I saw some of the young successful stories of internet marketers and it inspired me to start my own website at businesstips101.com and to open an ebay store at stores.ebay.com/cockeyed-ebooks . I am now selling ebooks and looking into custom vintage t shirts. I am trying to build my opt in subscriber list through the businesstips101.com/freeebook page. I am also making my own ebook to boost marketing efforts. Why has it been rough for me? I have been doing this while my sister having 3 major life threatning surgeries in the past 2 years, juggling my internet business, school, working out, friends, and football practice/games, and changing my whole lifestyle. My family is one that beleives you can only make money by working at a 9-5 job and retiring at the age of 65, but i always thought differently. I have always been interested in business and always will be. I have found the internet to be one of the best marketing mediums there are. Oh and if I win, the first thing I'm going to buy is a subscription to Uncut marketing. I am always looking for new ways to learn and ways to show people that a teenager can succeed with out a part time job and without ever getting a job. Jason, my email is igetpaidperclick@yahoo.com by the way. I don't know what exactly your looking for but this is how my life has went.
Last fall, my husband and I hit our lowest level financially when we were forced to file bankruptcy after a serious problem with a credit card. Once the Chapter 13 plan was approved, we were relieved but we were faced with taking care of four children on the spartan budget that the court had approved. That is when we decided to try ebay. I am so glad we did. It has enabled us to bring in an extra $500 to $800 a month and provide some of the little extras (like birthday presents) for our children that would have been impossible on the court ordered budget. Since then, we have learned so much. I am currently writing an ebook on storage unit auctions as that is one of the ways that we acquire stuff to sell. I am really excited about the possibilities with that. Don't give up when you get down - there is always a way back up if you just look for it.
Hello, I know that I had it rough, but am aware of that some others have had it worst than me.
I was born and raised and worked as a farmer, coyboy, and tire repair man, out in the fields,
so one day I decided to do something, cuz I did not want to be 50+ and have to be working out in the heat
or out in the freezing weather so I did something about it, I got myself back in school, (I dropped out in 11th grade- STUPID!!!).
Some of my closest friends and family said I could not do it but I was not going to let that hold me back - long story short,
I have been working in a office since 1988!!!
At this point in my life I want to do something different not just work from 8-5 but have money after all my bills, so I started looking into internet
marketing, (no success yet), and if I could go from a farm hand to a drafting person and designer - I know that I Can and Will succeed!!!
So people whatever suitution you are in, You Can make it better, because no one will do it for you.
Good Luck to all and I will see you at the top.

Dear friends.
i was cctv.operator.surveillance
at great hotel&casino in my country
egypt.i like the journalism and writting,so i was cctv.plus journalist at the same time about 21years.and retired from the hotel
on the age of sixty,as the egyption law.but still journalist by free lance,i am searching about new job for my family two boys and two girls.plus my wife and me of course.
i joined uncut internet marketing
to increase my incom for my big family.
thanks lot.
I have enjoyed success most of my life. I have a degree in Math and was one of the 1st women hired by Boeing in the 1960's as an Aerospace Engineer on the Apollo Lunar Program. I am a Rocket Scientist!
In 2001 my world crashed. It has taken me almost four years to overcome severe medical problems one of which was the black hole of depression and suicidial thoughts. Medical bills were so high, my husband and I were on the edge of bankruptacy. In 2005 I was introduced to the advantages of an internet business. I had some hope for the first time in years. I have been working in a few areas with some success. Had setbacks. Made many mistakes. Picked myself up and moved on. I have been selling on eBay for almost 3 years, waged a successful AdWord Campaign as a CJ Affiliate this Christmas and made $800 in 2 months.
I am from Louisiana. My family was devastated by Katrina. I lived in N.O. for 4 years.
I have come very close to death several times in my life. Now the roses smell sweeter than ever for me. I have a marvelous and loving family who support me in every way. I WILL NOT QUIT no matter what. My problems have not gone away but I now take everything as it comes and I WILL OVERcome. My tomorrows are not worrysome for me. I keep working.
It is not the money or success that counts, it is the journey that everyone takes on the way. The day I stop learning something new is the day that I am dead.
I’m not going to talk about my whole past life. But lets just say it was very challenging. But who’s life is easy? I think no ones. Now the hurdle is to make it online on my OWN. Without the comfort and support of another that I am used too. Of course I want to succeed as in make more money BUT it’s not just the money. It’s also the feeling and satisfaction of knowing I did it all myself. Before I used to hesitate to learn new things, or contact certain people for advice. Or just to say that I liked their awesome Internet Marketing course. Well I am happy to report that I don’t hesitate to do these things. I know it may sound silly. But I think you’ll be surprised that many people are like how I was. I guess the message I would like to convey to people is to live fearless and just go for it! Whether that be joining a new Internet Marketing forum and asking for advice. Or actually purchasing that really great learning course you have been waiting for months to buy.
The learning will never end for me and I hope to keep it that way, because saying that I don’t need to learn anymore would be close minded and limit my business from moving forward. The part that I am working right now is taking action. Taking the action to implement all that I learned into my business. Sure there are challenging days when you start to doubt yourself. But if your really want it then flick that fearful feeling of your shoulders and never look back.

At the age of 36 I was forced, by extenuating circumstances, to turn my life upside down. I relocated 600 miles away from my home state. I was working a full time job despite the health problems I was experiencing. Well, my health issues ended up costing me my employment. I have been down and out, receiving unemployment, seeking traditional employment, all the while being seen by MULTIPLE doctors and feeling crappy most of the time. I think I have FINALLY found a doctor that knows what he is doing. We are working to get my medications regulated. My unemployment benefits have ended although I have no employment nor do I have any money. I have longed for a home based business for years. The previous 2 attempts I made did not amount to anything. However, I am now scouring the internet for reputable business opportunities. I have come across a few but it is hard to know who to trust and what information you really do NEED and not just someone else trying to make a buck. Somehow, I don't really remember how, I came to the Uncut Marketing site and became a member last night. I am looking forward to the info inside. I am hoping it provides direction for me as I am new to this ecommerce market. I have no idea what I am doing out here on the web. I am excited to get the information from people that have blazed the trail before me. My email is: silly_grilly@yahoo.com
In April 2004 I launched a Yahoo! store selling a physical product. This was not a small business. Rather it was a micro business. My goal was to operate the venture parttime while juggling a fulltime job and helping to care for my mother, a victim of Alzheimer's.
Homebased business is extremely limited in my community and so I rented a closet-sized office and set up shop. It took about a month to get the website up and running and very slowly one by one the customers started to come.
On Friday August 13th, Hurricane Charley came to town and while I am blessed that family and home were intact, the rented office and all contents were destroyed.
It took a full year before the office was rebuilt and ready to move in. Being so new a venture, I did not have insurance and because I was a business renter didn't qualify for FEMA assistance.
So I have since replaced the inventory, fixtures and computer.
The website is restored and business continues to grow.
However, I have learned the very valuable lesson that when it comes to multiple streams of income, physical inventory should most definitely be supplemented with digital or other informational products. I am trying to learn all I can now to do just that.
Thanks for your consideration.

Right now as I write this story, I am, as the old saying goes.."so broke that if it only cost a dollar to go around the world, I would'nt have enough money to get outta' sight" But that's alright, broke is a temporary situation a golden opportunity to learn. It is not the first time I've been in this shape, however I have resolved that it is the last. Plus, maybe there is someone else in the same or even worse shape that can find a bit of hope and turn it all around after reading this. That is my hope.
Like everyone else, I've had my share of bumps on the highway of life. Hit a few pot holes and enjoyed the fast lane a time or two. And like everyone else, I've failed 1000 times more than I've succeeded. There is nothing wrong with being a failure. A wise man once told me, "if at first you don't succeed, that means you are average. Now quit your damn whinning and get in line with the rest of us. It's O.K to fail, just do not quit. When you quit, you become a loser." I've always remembered that and although I've failed many times, it was not because I quit. I will never be a loser. Because down to my last dying breath, I will not quit.
Three weeks ago, I woke up at 3:30 a.m. for no particular reason. It happens often and always at 3:30 a.m. As I lay there in sort of a half awake, half asleep state, I had an A-HA! moment. For some reason, a commercial I had seen at least 100 times popped into my head like a movie playing in slow motion. What was unusual was a product that the people in the commercial were using. That product is not what the commercial was about. However it was a cool product and I realized that I had NEVER seen one for sale ANYWHERE. Not online, not in stores, nowhere.
So out of curiousity I got up and started searching online. It took me 4 hours and finally, I found 2 stores in Europe that were selling them. Yep, 2....thats it. Not even on Ebay was there any. There were a couple of expired auctions of used ones but none new and the used ones went for a pretty penny. This market is so underdeveloped that it borders on ridiculous.
So for the next three days I searched and found a supplier. A FACTORY DIRECT supplier. I got some killer price quotes. Then I did some informal surveys with over 100 people I know and everyone was very curious. 36 people committed up front to buying as soon as I had some product on hand. This is quite exciting because my worst case net profit will be $175-$200 per item sold.
So I am in the process of raising the money to get started on my first shipment. There are still some technicalities to work out. Heck, there always will be. However, getting started is the most important thing. There MUST be movement before there is momentum. My little league coach told me "son, if you'll never make it to second base if you keep your foot on first." I am running several auctions on Ebay constantly and keeping every penny I make in the account.
Actually, I am going to make this adventure one of the chapters of a book I am writing. I am going to call the book "How I turned a found penny into a million dollars.....and YOU CAN TOO!" But how that idea came along is another story for another day.
There is no doubt in my mind at all, that this year, I'll have a stress free and prosperous Christmas. How about you? Good luck to everyone and always remember...no matter where you go, there you are. I've included the words to my favorite song. It is by Van Halen, listen to it when you get a chance......

welcome all readers ... I have a little story for you.
About 3 years ago I landed a job that I thought was great ... building houses..I felt like I was now going to be able to make it all happen. Thats when it happened... I got the news, its been confirmed
the ultrasound shows a lump. I gotta admit .. I was a litle scared.I went out and made things worse,and ended up losing 30 pounds and felt like I was older than dirt.After all that I decided to give up smokink,drinking and learned how to eat healthy.
So I chose to find the best solution to my situation...
which is to create the kind of money it takes to improve my health and find people I can trust to get me there. I have found the people ... stay focused and positive , and remember when you feel like you've reached the end...just go a few steps more,and you will
get there . Dont ever give up. jjscoollittlewebsite.com
I have always been successful and am overachiever. I have a degree in Math and was one of the 1st women hired by Boeing in the 1960's as an Aerospace Engineer on the Apollo Moon Program.
My world crashed in 2001 along with the Trade Towers. I had many medical problems, one being the black hole of depression along with suicidal thoughts. Due to high medical bills and no Health Insurance, my husband and I were on the edge of bankruptacy. It took me nearly 4 years to recover. I nearly died twice. In 2004 I became a seller on eBay and in 2005 I was introduced to the idea of an online business.
I started studying a whole new world.
I have had successes with eBay and AdWords Campaigns that I ran Christmas and made $800. I made mistakes.
I lost money. I moved on.
I take life one day at a time and whatever comes along, I will OVERcome. I am a native of Louisiana and my family was devastated by Katrina. We all survived and also have moved on. I lived in New Orleans for 4 years.
Everyone gets "flooded" at one time or another. We just need to wade to a dryer spot. I am finding my dry spot high above the floodwaters. I will never quit striving. It is not the money or success that makes us, it is the journey and our attitude.
We learn more from our travels and are happier. It is really amazing the wonderful people we meet on the way. I study every day. The day I quit learning something new is the day I am dead.
I wish everyone great success.
Sincerely, Sara Howard
I am a 20 year old recently married college student and realized that I needed to make some money. My dad and I have been traveling to nearby cities to get more information. Nearly 8 purchased websites and thousands of dollars later, I finally put up a great professional looking website and are anxious to start receiving orders. This was the exact push we were needing to get things looking up.
I intend to put the 500.00 dollars to good use and purchase UNCUT MARKETING and all that is necessary to make myself an online success and set myself free.
I see myself as an over comer and a strong person I hate sob stories because they make me feel weak, the opposite of who I really am. Possibly I can view this as a time for confession.
I once had at least an average life my husband worked for a company 16 years and we both looked forward to his retirement. In 1992 he was fired from his position and life as I knew it would never be the same.
We disposed of every asset we owned in an effort to sustain life. We were then in our early forties and finding employment was getting impossible so we resorted to buying jobs and every evil shark available took advantage of our ignorance. In 1996 we were forced into public housing where we now live and that fall we both took out loans and returned to college. Each of us received two degrees AAB and BBA he studied management and I studied marketing.
Again we hit the streets begging for employment with neither of us successful my husband took a job making 1,400 a month and now drives 94 miles a day. I begin studying online marketing and took every freebie and e book that I could find so many that I have literally buried myself in them. I am currently building a website that contains other peoples information products and hoping it will do well. I am grateful for all the help that I have been given by online marketers, Jason James has educated me in areas of Marketing that I had no idea even exist.
In conclusion: I don’t want to sound ungrateful. I do believe that bad experiences can sometimes be our best teacher, and overcoming them makes us all stronger. I now know that each and every individual is only one step away from being homeless, it only takes the loss of a job. I want to go where I can’t ever be fired again ONLINE.

I quit my full time job in September last year at the age of 23. I had a medical condition which made it very hard to attend work each day, but I also had a burning desire to build websites full time.
I had no online income at that point so it was a massive gamble to just quit like that.
Within 2 weeks I had started a small online business which was bring in around $2000/month, and keeping me alive.
I sold this business last month and am now focussing on building my own website and developing products.
I am not making anything from this venture yet, but I work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, and Im determined to make it work!
What would I do with $500? I'd put it towards purchasing Uncut Marketing - Im not in a financial position to buy it as I am now, however if I won the $500 I'd do it as I feel it would absolutely give me the head start I need to begin making my living online.
Thanks! :)
As I compose this entry I think about my journey so far and will keep it brief but
Hopefully draw you into my experiences.
I have had my own website ems-safety.com for some time and have recently started
Implementing all the internet marketing techniques I have learned over the past 6-7 years.
By creating digital items, CD-ROMS and putting videos and audio on the site it has
Greatly increased my conversions. This has allowed me to increase my marketing efforts with my internet marketing websites. My internet marketing sites are my greatest passion but I never seem to have the resources and connections to get that big push and really make it like so many gurus.
I was mildly successful with my first product 11th Hour SEO and pretty successful with my free
Internet marketing members only site. Yet I always feel guilty sending emails to my list asking them to buy products since I know how tight my finances are and know how much others are struggling to make a living online.
The only thing that keeps me going is the fact that I know everyone else is promoting the same stuff. So I hope that my recommendation and relationship with my list gets me the sale. I have made a few commissions with Uncut and credit that with my list relationships and my offer of a free copy of my new
11th Hour package coming end of July. You see I am always trying to just get that one guru to help me with that one big push as a JV or a testimonial, but never seem to be able to get over that hump that I know will push me into the internet marketing big leagues.
I don’t plan on quitting. Five years ago as a Paramedic in NYC I was at 9/11 and saw so much that I newer saw in my 14 years as a medic, that it motivated me to want to work online full time and never have to see that again. Now while I still work as a medic and still hope to make a fulltime income online, I feel that the only thing holding me back is that big push I need, like so many other small time marketers who made it big before me.
I am putting in for this $500 bonus only to perhaps get that extra cash that can help me further promote my websites and affiliates. But what I would rather is a JV partnership with a big guru type so that all my knowledge and experience online can finally come to that payoff. I fear that no matter how big my list is or how much knowledge I have and share; I will never really succeed without that hand to get me over this hump I have been trying to climb for the past five years.
So for any guru reading, keep the $500 and support me in a JV on my new 11th Hour product. Then maybe someday I’ll be able to give $500 to someone on my list.
Dragon-and-Pegasus
March 14, 1998 was a date I will never forget, but I'm trying to forget it. That was the day I had a major stroke. My husband (Mike 36) and I (33) went out to breakfast and then we were going to an antique show. We were just trying to "get away" and spend sometime together. We were laughing at talking to our waitress when my husband says somethings wrong with my wife. I suddenly felt very strange and I kept on telling him Let's Go, Let's Go. But it instead I was talking jibberish. They called for an ambulance and when they arrived they took be away and I don't know anything else because it was like I was there but I wasn't. To make a long story short it has been 8 loooong years. My husband quit his job to take care of our two children, (ross 11-he turned 12 while I was in the rehabilitation center and Steffani-14 some bad things happened to her but I swore not to tell anybody while I was rehabilation). We needed money so we sold our antiques, golden books, and tins. Then we were at this flea market had the guy next to us was selling Incense. My husband said that he would like to try it. So we had only $200.00 left to our name and thats how he got started. His business now is making us almost comfortable. We just filed Bankruptcy to get rid of all my medical bills (We still had a lot a we've trying to pay) and we gave our house back to the mortgage company. We rented a Duplex, let someone else fix any problem we might have, And I'm trying to figure out how I get my husbands business on the internet. We are totally computer illiterate. I say the story is Dragon-and-Pegasus is my husband is like a dragon, always defending me and I'm like the Pegasus, I been in the ashes but I've come out to the world. I would use the money to buy your videos and an Air-conditioner because it is hot, hot, hot!!!
I have been well trained over the last 25 years; you know, work for the corporation, do a good job and you will go far. Good advice if you want to make someone else rich.
I have watched this world manage and destroy my family long enough. There is so much I could say, but just look around and you will find someone in worst shape than you.
What I will tell you is this; when professional medical workers look you in the eye after interviewing your son and tell you that he is going to die in a matter of weeks, your whole world changes. I did what any father would do. I used every resource I had to get him the help he had to have. He is not in the best shape today, but he is alive.
I'm still covered in debt, even after bankruptcy.
Now it is my turn to be in control!
One thing life has taught me is that to enjoy life you must have a goal and remain positive.
While my family things I'm crazy for trying to build an internet business, I will get the last laugh.
I've spent the last few months reading everything I can get my electrons on, man is there a lot of crazy stuff out there.
I don't mind paying for good information and I've paid a lot. I've finally seperated the wheat from the chaff and have been doing tons of product research. I have got some choices narrowed down and my website will be on the web soon.
My eBay garage sale starts this Sunday at 9pm cst. My eBay rating will be over a 100 in a few weeks, after that happens my consignment business will be up and running, then it is a matter of learning and building other streams of income one at a time.
I will be working from home in my pj,s at some point in the future. While my comrades will leave their bedroom and go down the hall to their home office. I will simply pull the wall mounted laptop tray over to my bed and get the $$$ report to start my day off right.
Remember have a goal and be postive!
I don't want to retire!
Sure, I know I'm getting close to social security age. But sometimes I feel like Grandma Walton from that old TV show called The Waltons. She said, "There ain't any wrinkles on the inside."
There's so much to do...to experience.
Several months ago I began an eBay business and, like a sponge, I began absorbing online info so I would right from the start, treat my eBaying as a business and not a hobby.
Then I joined a couple great Internet marketing membership sites so I could glean info from others who have gone before me!
Night after night, months later, I'm still up many nights at 2:00 a.m. reading or listing ads or whatever when, before all this I used to say if I stayed up that late I felt like I'd have to vomit. Amazing.
I just opened a brand new eBay store focusing on holidays and I'm so excited. The basics are done and now it's serious ad listing time! But...and isn't there always a but?
I know this store is only a beginning. There is so much more. I've just scratched the surface of Internet sales and marketing and where I'm headed with it all. Next month I'll produce an info product, a DVD, that will complement my holiday store theme and capitalize on the holiday traffic.
From there an online newsletter for my growing "list", then a blog and.....and.... Also on the horizon: mini sites, affiliate programs and reselling others' info products! What fun!
What would I do with an extra $500? I'd purchase the knowledge I need to go to the next level - a course by Jim Edwards that I've been eyeing that includes and details many how-tos of stuff I need to know!
Ya know, I realize I'm not the sharpest pencil in the pack when it comes to technical stuff. But when I'm shown how to do something I'm off and running! And isn't that what UNCUT is all about?
Does it matter one whit that I'm an almost on Social Security grandma? Well, if it does, don't bother telling me!

She thinks I am playing as she puts it on the computer everyday.When I saw you on the web series and video updates I was quite impressed!I would like to be in that environment some day soon.I have become as you put it, OVERWHELMED with all the opportunities available to the average person.It does just take some guts and action to get going.I hope you get this as I am a newbie..Keep up the good work!!THANKS..
Addendum to 1st Post:
I have set goals and read them everyday. I own 3 websites. I am currently developing my own digital products to sell on ebay and my websites. I am a subscriber to 4 great Internet Businesses with personal coaching and online teaching. I have my own special nitch. I can't believe that I forgot to mention all of this in my 1st blog.

Here is my story Jason. Nate perkins, why does that name ring a bell? Well let's see...
#1- He's a combat decorated retired Lieutenant Colone of the U.S. Army who proudly served his country for 27 years.
#2- He's an entrepreneur and one of the most controversial Black talk show hosts on internet, radio and Atlanta Georgia's PPTV show, "Nate Perkins Live", in which he's not afraid to speak his mind on issues affecting out community, our children, and our economy.
#3- He's a sel publisher and author of 3 excellent novels entitled, "Googleonomics", Mrs. Cotetta Scott King" "In Rememberance Of" and "Nate Perkins Live" book and DVD.
Now, that quite an impressive track record but the genius doesn't end there...
With such a knack for business, economics, and internet marketing, perkins was able to recognize the full potential in a concept many of us have attempted to grasp but have either become discouraged due to scams, slow pay, and various reasons - and that concept is Multi Level Marketing.
Now, Nate Perkins has been dubbed as MLM's #1 Online Recruiter and my goal is to educate and equip entrepreneurs with the Best Money Websites on the internet to start a home based businesses. Nate Perkins' created a noteworthy list of potential "cash cow" business opportunites that include UNCUT--http://www.uncutmarketing.com/idevaffiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=826
a internet business video company.

My beautiful daughter died.
It was expected, so to prepare myself for the worst (my father had died 8 years previously and - as we refer to it in my family – my head took and holiday!) I trotted off down to the local GP - but my own GP was on holiday so I had to go to a different than my usual doctor. I explained the situation to him (though he should have read at least some of my notes) and the fact that I needed some tablets to help with my impending head holiday, which he duly gave me a prescription for. I filled the prescription. Silly me I should have had a good look or asked the chemist what they were – never trust a Doctor – well I took a couple of these and I was awake all night!! The stupid doctor had not listened to a word I had said – just took note of the keywords – Daughter Dying Need Pills and naturally assumed I needed some ANTI DEPRESSANTS – well that is just not me I need the exact opposite - I need something to suppress my system not feed it! Well from then on it went from bad to worse till eventually my head went on holiday again!!
Well I wish I knew all about adsense, internet marketing, ebooks, websites etc when I was ‘on Holiday’ I could and did everything – when you are really manic the sky is not the limit!! I could have channelled all my energies into this and it would have been excellent I would have made my fortune lots of times over. As it was it was just a spend, spend, spend spree. – I spent thousands. I am normally a shy person – not so ‘on holiday’ I can talk the hind legs off a donkey then!!
Well to all UPS there are usually DOWNS and after being high for six months or so comes the inevitable deep dark depression. That is a black hole – I could do nothing but sit – even the most easiest of tasks became a chore. Dragging yourself around, nothing is easy, I love cooking – but even a most simple meal would take me hours to prepare – peel one potato – sit down – peel another – sit down and so on. I don’t think anyone could have been so low and so penniless.
After about a year I was still feeling low but able to cope better and cooking was becoming, well not a pleasure, but quicker.
My sister’s next door neighbour had a wonderful office job – just her and her boss and she was leaving to go back to the mainland (I live on an Island). I had actually in previous times worked there when she had had a holiday (only for a couple of weeks). Well! Luckily I managed to get the job – I am still there now! It is a wonderful job especially if you like surfing the net and trying to make it online, as there is very little ‘Real Work’ to do just manning the phones and the occasional letter/ report.
At the beginning of my Internet entrepreneurring I just about bought everything, joined free lists, done adsense, done ebay, tried everything. Finally after all this time (two years)I had my first proper sale! Made a little on ebay and a bit with adsense. So this has given me impetus to actually do more and it’s all thanks to these products. All the wonderful information - a lot of it free, I thank you for the ideas I have gleaned from you all. In fact I have had so many ideas from you that I am positively reeling with enthusiasm to put them all into practice. It does take time though.
So even in the depths of despair – having access to and researching online - is a real possibility to earn yourself income until finally the light goes on and you know it is more than a possibility more a sure thing!
Thanks Sue Gale

Life Changing Steps - My Path to a Successful Business
By Tammy Ames
Sometimes life trips you up and you stumble just one time to many (or maybe it just feels that way) but you do get up, brush yourself off and keep going. That is me. After 20 years of being a nurse, I had to choose between my two younger boys and my job. It's a funny thing when you have a child and you think you have all the time in the world to help them learn and be happy. Instead, when I learned it wasn't going to be so easy for them to grow up like other kids, I made the choice to be home with them. Get them off to therapies and work with them at home. My career path changed. I went from taking care of veterans to being a mom at home. I still had goals and dreams but they got switched around on me. I changed paths. I started working from home online.
My path toward a successful online business has been full of obstacles and pot holes but determination and vision has kept me motivated to succeed. You see, I'm not a "sales" person. I'm a nurse. Twenty years of taking care of people, teaching them and supporting them became part of my unique online presence but it hasn't made it easy for me to earn the income I wanted. I have a website with strong traffic that helps alot of people build their businesses online. I'm more of a "resource" than a super affiliate but I wouldn't trade these two years of building it or being here with my boys.
I have learned a great deal over the last two years. I fumbled and stumbled through many different types of online business from direct sales and ecommerce without much outward success but I never considered any of these attempts as "failure." Instead, I learned. I learned something everyday and put it into action. Even in the middle of a silent tantrum, I knew I had learned something valuable when things went wildly off kilter.
A couple of months ago, I realized the time had come.
It was time for me step outside my comfort zone and create my own product. I still had those voices inside telling me that I still had so much to learn about internet marketing. I told myself that I wasn't ready to step out of the role of an affiliate to become a business owner. I thought I could stall for more time because... Yes - I do still have things to learn. But the voices have fallen silent. It happened when I when I entered into the members area of UNCUT! Internet Marketing before Jason James officially launched.
Sitting here at my desk, viewing several of the videos - I realized that I truly had no excuses anymore for NOT taking the leap. So many simply dive right in fearless and see what happens. Some are successful, others do not. Instead, I have helped others launch their products but not taken the time to focus on what I can build. I used "lack of tools and knowledge" as my reason for staying stuck. Funny how things change when you find something that will teach you what you need to know. My path is suddenly clear. No more excuses.
Because of Jason's new internet marketing video site, I feel I can find everything I will need to create my own product, launch a business around my ebook. Granted, it's just the first step of many BUT it's a very big step on my path to my success. My success as only I can define it. Raising the boys and running a business that helps others make money too ~ That is my definition of Success.
PS I wrote this THEN read the directions in your email - I'm posting it to the blog :-)
Hello Jason,
Thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself.
This is Tasha in Illinois!
(Pronounced like Cash -a with a t instead of a c)
First off I would like to say, Bravo my friend! :)
How Brilliant you are to launch Uncut Marketing!
Get the Internet Marketers with HUGE LISTS and awesome Marketing skills and interview them, Have them help promote (send email to those aforementioned lists)
and pay them 60%
You are my hero at the moment!
Now Onto My Motivational story!
I Have been thinking about this since I got the email from you about winning $500.00.
$500.00 would make a big difference in my monetary life, and an even bigger one in my spiritual one!
When I was a little girl,
I do not remember many happy times, although there were a few!
My mom was 15 when I was born, my dad 19, both to young to be parents, but parenting none the less.
They didn’t have the skills it took to raise themselves, let alone a child….long, long not so good story short.
(I don’t know if there is a wording limit)
NEEDLESS TO SAY~
Honor thy Father and thy mother was a hard pill to swallow, after MANY YEARS of bitterness, resentment and pure hatred towards my parents….
God’s Grace brought me through it!
This commandment does not have a disclaimer about being perfect!
It says Honor thy father and thy mother….
NOT----Honor thy father and thy mother ~IF~ they are perfect!
Your parents are not perfect, WE are not perfect-accept it for what it is and lay the rest at the father’s feet!
Fast Forward -I have been married for 12 and a half years, and have five children of my own now! (& I'm Only 32)
Up until two years ago, my husband and I lived in a different state, had a home of our own out in the country, two cars, an acre and a half of land, and many things most people would like to own!
However, I had all this STUFF but was EXTREAMELY UNHAPPY!
When the bugs came out of that situation, it was mostly about the fact that I was living almost 1000 miles away from my Entire family and wanted to be closer to them.
So We moved 1000 miles to Illinois, left our home that wasn’t sold (BAD CHOICE),
Left behind my husband’s job
(that was not very great anyway—the company folded soon after we left—for other reasons inside the company)
DID NOT PREPARE FOR NOT HAVING A JOB!
Couldn’t find a J-O-B right away…
So we started looking in on the internet, we have NO experience with that at all.
AND WHAT ALWAYS FOLLOWS THAT IS A HUGE LOSS OF MONEY!
We went to a FREE seminar for Govt. Grants, we spent a VERY LARGE amount of money, and then learned the lesson of once they get you to the second and third seminar, you are practically broke…..and we were not employed,
Credit cards are very powerful.
I am ashamed at the thought of how these people swindled us, 3X OVER!
My husband is working odds and ends jobs right now. We hit the point of buying in to this & that For our website to the tune of around
(I DON’T WANT TO TYPE THIS)
15 grand :(
We started our own business,
We started selling on eBay, and we have a website:
We paid a lot of money for the graphics on the site, and have yet to have one sale! (a year and a half later)
IT NEEDS SOME work right now, some of our drop shippers changed their programs or did away with them, and I have been trying to F I N D the answer to what EVERYONE wants to know!
WHAT TO SELL ON ONLINE OR ON EBAY?
Back in April, one late night while surfing on eBay….
by some weird chance
(I say that because I didn’t even know what an e-book was, let alone know how to buy or download one or relist it)
I happened into John Thornhill(S) eBay store and I bought my first e-book!
I figured out how to save it to my computer, and then I had NO IDEA where it was or how to find it!
Eventually, like a week or so later I was able to find it, again on an off chance.
The e-book was the 90 Day Power seller challenge.
I read through it, thought it was a little too good to be true.
DID NOTHING WITH IT!
Meanwhile I am searching and searching online for ways to make money….
that book kept ringing in my head.
What if this could work?
Then something bizarre happened.
I saw an auction on how to get $20.00 FREE deposited into your paypal account,
bought it and immediately got signed up, and made sure to get my money FREE.
In that process I saw the potential to make $500.00 from the company for getting
50 people to sign up under you and get their FREE $20.00.
I thought to myself!
WOW~WOW~WOW~
Who doesn’t want FREE Money this should be a piece of cake!
~ANYONE INTERESTED IN GETTING YOUR MONEY NOW~SEE MY BLOGGING PROFILE FOR THE LINK!
I could not Imagine what would unfold~
People bought this item for .99 cents!
The bottom line of the information that I learned was this:
OVER 300 people looked at or bought my item, only 33-signed up and to date, only 15 of those 33 have gotten their FREE MONEY!
??????WHY????
YOU CAN LEAD A HORSE TO WATER BUT YOU CANNOT MAKE THEM DRINK!
So many people say they want to DO, BUT DON'T Do when given the opportunity!
So then the reality of that e-book hit me and I started checking more into this John Thornhill character, amazing that I could have done that MUCH sooner had I been paying attention!
I am paying attention now!
I have been following him, watching what he does, checking in on his web site, eBay store.
You name it with John, I am trying to be right there watching, learning, propelling myself forward! Trying to stand quietly by someone VERY SUCCESSFUL and Duplicate what they are doing!
Even made One affiliate sale not to long ago, and was REALLY excited about earning that $23.50!
I instantly starting getting more and more e-books, and reading them, and now I have quite a number, and I am selling quite a bit too!
I for the first time am making enough money to cover my eBay fees!
I am trying to add a new book to my store everyday! I have a lot more to list but there are only so many hours in the day!
~THANKS JOHN!!!!!
Finally, MY MOTIVATION~
The rent is past due by 15 days, all the bills are behind & I just got my first summons last week because I am being sued! We lost our home in the other state, We lost everything, and have NO ONE TO BLAME BUT OURSLEVES!
(WHAT A CROCK~ I CAN RELATE)
The look in my children’s eyes when they are feeling secure in this life.
When I sit at the computer for hours (searching for the right place), and my 4 year old comes up, wraps his arms around my neck and smiles as he says I love you MOMMY!
We are down, we made some REALLY BAD decisions, and we are in a very bad place because of it, however, FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!
Failure only comes to those who QUIT!
When I see the footprints in the sand I know they are not mine….I have always known!
Even when I was a little girl, and my parents did not teach me about God, But God made sure I knew!
The steps I take towards success come Everyday.
You have to be willing to scrap your idea of what it is you think you know at any given moment~because the game might change!
We have never put to much energy into worrying about money, if you don’t have it, you don’t!
We are so poor right now, we cannot even afford to file bankruptcy!
Jesus came to earth, became poor, and sat on his last day with the men who would deny him and washed their feet!
He washed the feet of the man who ultimately would betray him first.
Jesus is my motivation!
I want to be like him, and be humbled in everything I see, do, hear, and touch!
He has always provided a way for us, and even now, as I write this I certainly hope his will would be that I would receive this money~We need it~ But his will and my will is not always aligned, and I am grown enough to accept that!
If it be the will of the Father, then it shall be so. If it is not his will, then it shall be so!
In the words of Casting Crowns, Still at #1 on the Christian charts:
(MY MOTIVATION)
I will praise you in this storm, and I will lift my hands. That you are who you are and I am who I am. Every tear I cry, you hold in your hands. Although my heart is torn, I will praise you in this storm!
(MY MOTIVATION)
One more thing before I go:
More than meets the eye!
Faith means being sure of things we hope for and knowing that something is real even if we do not see it!
Hebrews 11:1
Faith is trusting what the eye can’t see.
Eyes see the prowling lion.
Faith sees Daniels angel.
Eyes see storms.
Faith sees Noah’s rainbow.
Eyes see giants.
Faith sees Canaan.
Your eyes see your faults.
Your Faith sees your savior.
Your Eyes see your guilt. Your Faith sees his blood.
Your eyes look into the mirror and see a sinner, a failure, a promise breaker.
But By Faith you look in the mirror and see a robed prodigal bearing the ring of GRACE on your finger and the kiss of your Father on your face!
*****A NOTE TO ALL READERS****
IF you are of the opinion that you do not agree with anything that I have written in this blog…..
That is ok—that is perfectly fine, You are entitled to your opinion, as am I!
THIS IS ABOUT MY MOTIVATION!
THIS is my ABSOLUTE TRUTH~
I am not saying that you have to believe it for yourself in any way!
I am not trying to offend or deny anyone of anything, and Jason If this is too much talk about Jesus for your Blog~ I am sorry ~~ BUT
I AM HONEST AND THIS IS MY MOTIVATION!
….a few steps I have taken in the right direction to get our business moving in the right direction!
I am now working on 8 different websites that I am building myself…through self teaching trial and error! (and some of that e-book education too)
I am learning some HTML, but only through the programs that generate the codes for you! :)
All of the E-books I am selling have a different looking sales page than the ones that just come with the program that most of the other sellers are using!
I found a niche selling customized XanGo products (SHIRTS, STICKERS ETC.) to the XanGo Distributors on eBay (and taught myself how to do the designs) and that is one of the sites that I am currently working on!
I have a REALLY GREAT idea for an E-book and I KNOW IT WILL SELL (when i get the chance to write it) but I Do not have the time to devote to that project at the moment because time is MONEY!
I am a Internet Marketer on my way to EXPERT STATUS—Through self teaching, and trial and error!
Thanks So much for the opportunity Jason!
Have a Blessed Day!
Tasha In Illinois :)
YOU CAN LEAD A HORSE TO WATER BUT YOU CANNOT MAKE THEM DRINK!
So many people say they want to DO, BUT DON'T Do when given the opportunity!
24 posts to this blog last I looked…My point is, ONLY 24 People want the chance to write out a few short messages about themselves for the possibility of winning $500.00…..count me in!
What would I do with an Extra $500.00?
Buy my Membership to UNCUT MARKETING~Through John Thornhills link of course!
~GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF THE OTHERS WHO CHOSE TO TAKE THE TIME TO SHARE THEIR STORY!~
Wow, there's a lot of interesting experiences from some very determined people here! I'm too late for the contest but I think sharing what we've been through to encourage others is a great idea, so here's my success story:
Several months ago my husband passed away. Since our only income had been from his employment his death left me with major financial problems. I had to make radical budget changes and I knew I'd have to do something to earn a living too, I still had kids to raise. I hadn't had a job in years so with no recent work experience I knew it would be next to impossible for me to find any kind of decent employment. Things didn't look good - but I did have a computer :)
I decided to create a website to sell some motivational screensavers I'd designed, everyone who saw them loved them so I thought it was worth a try. First I redesigned the screensavers, added more quotes and made them even better, I wanted them to be as inspiring and as beautiful as possible.
As I was working with each of the screens I kept feeling better and better about things, I knew that somehow I was going to make it and everything would work out ok. Being exposed to all those positive, motivating quotes every day really made a difference in my outlook - and it helped keep me focused on what I wanted to do.
The website is up now and doing fairly well so far but I believe it will do much better as I learn more about marketing. My goal right now is for the income from my website to match the income my husband was bringing home before he died so I'm also working on ways to expand the site and add more products.
Things haven't been easy but whenever I start feeling overwhelmed or down, I always remember one of my favorite quotes from the screensavers, "When I hear somebody say, "Life is hard," I am always tempted to ask, "Compared to what?" -Sydney J. Harris. The first time I read that one I laughed, I'd never thought of it that way before but he's right :)
I believe I can succeed because I believe anyone can succeed. Problems are really only challenges that we have to figure out, "You measure the size of the accomplishment by the obstacle you had to overcome." I don't know who said that but I believe it's true and it keeps me going.
I'd like for the quotes on my screensavers to inspire people and be a part of helping them to achieve whatever goals they have for their lives; everyone deserves to achieve their goals - that's what we're here for.
