Sick of the Gurus

Are you sick of the gurus?Are sick of the scammers?Are you sick of the people that the only single thing they want from you is just your money and
nothing else?Then, you have reached the right place.You see i was just like you.

The story i am about to describe is a true story.Not a story that just came to my mind and try to present it as a real one.I am not trying to sell
anything to you.

But let me first introduce my self.My name is Dimitris Skiadas and i am NOT a guru.I am 28 years old and i live in Athens,Greece.No i am NOT in the online
world for 10 years now as an Internet Marketing specialist,although more than 15 years now i am an Internet user and PC technology savvy.I have discovered
i could make money online 2 years ago.And how did i make this discovery?Cause my dear friends, i had a job that was leading to nowhere,I used to work
more than 10 hours per day for the lousy monthly paycheck of the 900$.No, i didn’t have any financial problems,as many gurus they will say to you, to try
to convince you that they were totally broke.

I was NOT totally broke.I was NOT rich either.I just wanted to make my life better.I was trying to find a way to fulfill some of my dreams and make them
come true.All i ever wanted is to be financially FREE as many of you want at the time.I wanted to be able to do a job that i trully LOVED.
I didn’t want to have a BOSS on the top of my head telling me what to do.I wanted to be able to work anytime i wanted,from wherever i wanted to.And i won’t
lie to you.I haven’t managed yet to achieve this dream.I am pretty close though.

All i ever wanted is to have a work that had to do with web design or solving hardware/software PC problems.I love computers!And anything that has to do with them
I still remember when i was 7 years old, and a friend of mine, who lived in the same building as i was,had his first Amstrad PC.I was so jealous!I remember crying
every day to my parents to buy me a computer.They didn’t have the money at the time.Something that came true a few years later and i couldn’t be more
excited!

But when i turned 18 and finished school, my parents had other plans for their precious son!You see my parents are both of them accountants!The most BORING job in
the whole world!Trust me!And wanna know how i know this?Because i became one!

So when i finished school,although i wanted to study something around computers and web design,i didn’t reach the grade required to go into a computer
school and my parents didn’t have the ability to send me and pay for me tuition to a private computer faculty.I had a grade that i could study in a public college
as an accountant.And i made that choice.There has not been a SINGLE day the last 10 years of my life not regretting that choice.

Anyway,long story,short,i finished the accounting school 5 years later and started working as an assistant accountant.I could pretty easily find a job
in my sector because every company,even the smallest ones,have accounting departments.

Working as an accountant though is really,REALLY BORING!Too many numbers,too many responsibilities,not at all CREATIVE!And you can easily make a mistake.
I am still working as one.But my way to freedom is near and that’s due to Internet Marketing.

I was trying to find a way to make more money.I have never heard that people made money online.Weird hah?I thought that making money online was just people
trying to scam you with MLM products etc.That they would take advantage of your situation trying to make some money and that they could make anyone believe that
they were the gurus to show them which is the secret of making money online.

You wanna know what is the BIG secret to make money online?Be prepared to hear it because it is a great SHOCK!

There is NO secret at all!

All it takes to make money online is 3 single things

1.Believe in your self and your powers

2.Having the right resources to study

3.Taking ACTION!

That is all!Trust me!There isn’t such a big secret in making money online.

I have seen people aged from 13 to 85 making money online!Yes, you ve read that right!From the age of 13(or maybe less) to the age of 85!

All it takes is that 3 thing i ve mentioned before.
All the gurus they will try to make you belive that they are the only ones on Earth that they know this big secret on making money online.The only thing you
trully need is some WILL that could actually make it,the right GUIDANCE and TAKING ACTION.

I know most of you would think at the moment that taking action is the obvious thing to do,right?Trsut me,99% of people trying to make money on the web,FAIL because they
NEVER TAKE ACTION!And you wanna know how i know this?Because i used to belong in this 99%!

I bought every single method around the Internet on how to succeed in the online world, i read it, i got EXCITED,i kept thinking and told my self…

“I am going to do this and that and i am going to make millions and travel the world etc etc etc”

Dreaming is one of the nicest things to do.But to make your dreams come true,you must do the above things!

1.Believe in your self and your powers

2.Having the right resources to study

3.Taking ACTION!

There’s a Secret number 4 to the list above.And because i suppose you are good guys and girls,trying to succeed in the online world,i will reveal it you.So, here
it comes…

4. Read all the above AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN!

No, i am not trying to fool you or make fun of you.I am trying to make you believe in your selves that you could actually SUCCEED and find your way in the online
world.

So,to recap.I am Dimitris and i am NOT a guru!I am a regular guy just like you,living a regular life,just like you.The only that makes me stand out of the crowd is
the fact that i want to live a BETTER LIFE and MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE.

From this website, i would teach you for FREE,my experience in making money online,the knowledge every Internet marketer should have to succeed in the online world.

I won’t lie to you.It does require some money to make money.Nothing is totally for FREE.But if you want to be financially independent,the money required to achieve this
is very little to get you started.You can start with no money at all though.
If you tried to open a business of your own and selling shoes for example,you would need great money.Renting the place,employees,book keeping,buying stock,banks,furniture and
tons of other things.This could be an investment starting from 10.000$ and could reach up to 250-300k.

Internet Marketing is the only “job” i am aware of that you could do from anywhere in the globe,any time you want and make as much money as you want.You could work as many hours
as you like and be the boss of your self.You could start your online business right NOW,spending from 0$ to 100$.This is an investment you will never regret if you decide to
go with Internet Marketing.

The only thing that could make you fail is YOU!If you keep PROCRASTINATING,if you DO NOT TAKE ACTION in what you learn,if you DO NOT SPEND THE AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED to
support your Internet business,it won’t be any other’s fault for NOT succeeding.It will be YOUR fault!

You can’t blame anyone for not succeeding.I made my first 4$ in the online world, 5 months after i have discovered i could make money online.And it was totally my mistake,
because i was aware of at least 10 methods i could make money online but NEVER at the time,have put in ACTION of what i ve learned so far.

To sum up, you may subscribe at my newsletter which is totally FREE,to have sent in your e-mail things that i believe that could get you started and make you some money.
PS Always love to hearing from people i ve helped.Please shoot me an e-mail at garage667@yahoo.gr if you have any questions,suggestions and i will try to get back at you as soon
as possible.

Sick of the Gurus

As discussed before,the only expenses you will have to make in the online world are 3.

1.Buying domain names

2.Having these sites hosted somewhere

3.Building an e-mail list of people interested in what you have to say.

And we are talking of a cost that is NOT necessary at the beginning but eventually you ll have to spend some time in the future as you will keep
on learning.If at the time, you think that there is no need in spending money or you do not have any to spend to learn Intenet Marketing, that is
totally fine.

When i first started with Internet Marketing,i was afraid of being scammed and lose my money.I was afraid filling in a credit card in the Internet because
i thought that scammers were everywhere.They were and still they are everywhere.People get scammed every day because they put their trust and money into
people that promise them the sky and deliver nothing.

I ve been scammed too but this is an issue that we will discuss later.

Anyway,you may get started at Internet Marketing with no money at all.But because this is a business too,sometime if you see IM as a serious opportunity
to change your life and become financially FREE,you ll have to spend some little money(below 100$).You may see this money as an investment to your future.
But if you don’t see your self succeeding,if you are afraid of losing money or you don’t have any money to spend at the time, i repeat that this is PERFECTLY fine.
In other posts, i describe how you can get started in IM with no money at all.

If you wanna look serious and have a serious presence online,you must own a website.You must tell inform people who you are and why should they trust you.To create a
website and maintain it,it’s not as difficult as you might think.Just to remind you that although i was a PC savvy before i get started with Internet Marketing, i had
NO idea on how to buy a domain,buy hosting for this site,how to set the nameservers and mainly, how to BUILD IT! So, don’t get scared, i will show how easy is to build a
website without knowing a single line of HTML(language used to build websites,for those who are not aware of it).

So, you need a website.You need a nice domain name.Your job is to think of the name.One of my sites is http://www.SickOfTheGurus.com This is my domain name.There are many registrars
where you could buy a nice domain name.The one i use the past 2 years and has an easy and great interface is NAMECHEAP.COM Also very good is GODADDY!Domains have various extensions like .com .net .org etc
The most proffessional is having a .com domain name, which stands for commersial. People tend to trust more this websites because they look more proffessional.

Which site would you click more easiy?

http://www.mysite.com

OR

http://www.mysite.ws

I believe that most of you would chose the .com extension for the reasons mentioned above. The .net and .org extension will also do the job.

Buying a domain name is almost free..For most of them you have to spend less than 10$ for a whole year!This is like having 2 cups of coffee at Starbucks!

So, go there and search for a domain name you like and also looks proffessional.Remember to always aim for the .com extension.
When you choose the domain name,you have to find a reliable company to host your website.Hosting in simple words,means that you are renting some space in some servers
to host your website files over the Internet.Is like your Hard Disk Drive in your own personal computer.The cost for this starts from 3$/per month meaning 36$ per year.With this
kind of money you could host your website into a reliable company that guarantees 99,9% that your website will be online.The company i use and have no complaints is HOSTGATOR!If you do
a little research for your self, you will find that is a huge company based in the USA,that hosts literally millions of websites.They also have a great support team 24/7.

TIP:

At first you will need to host just one site, so you may go with the smallest plan they have.But you will see that when you get involved in this business,you can’t have just one website.
Your main website will be definitely one.But when you keep learning,you will have hosted and created more than 5 sites or more.Me, at the time i own more than 15 websites.I know Internet
marketers that have more than 100-200 websites hosted!I repeat,you will only have ONE professional website but you will need to build other websites,that are selling services,other products,
micro niche websites earning money from Google Adsense,Clickbank etc We will discuss this on a later post

I suggest going with their BABY PLAN where you can host UNLIMITED websites for as cheap as 8$ per month.Keep in mind that Hostgator always has good deals for new customers and if you do
a little research at Google, you will find tons of coupons(20-50% cheaper).

Hostgator has a very friendly interface(cpanel) and support many scripts for building blogs,forums,e-shops etc

After you have these two things done,we will use the very known platform for building blogs and sites that is called WordPress!This so easy as 1,2,3. You don’t have to have any programming
skills or web design knowledge to build a website.I still know very basic stuff around building sites and i have build more than 20 so far.If you have used Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel
before,this will be like a toy to you.Trust me it is very easy to get you started.If still you want a nice video course on how to build a blog within minutes, i suggest grabbing XXXXXXXXXXXX course
which has done a teriffic job explaining how WordPress works and how you may do more complex stuff.

When building a blog with WP,you can have whatever you like hosted there!Videos,text,images,music,PDF’s!Anything!You are not limited from anyone!WP has tons of FREE and PAID themes that you could use
and still not having to write or know a single line of HTML code or other programming languages.What we are looking here is NOT fancy and TERRIFIC design.We are going to build tons of sites for Internet
Marketing purposes, promoting stuff that will make us money.More on that on othe post(WAYS TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE——-AFFILIATE MARKETING,E-MAIL MARKETING,CPA,GOOGLE ADSENSE,ARTICLE MARKETING)

The third expense you will have to do for your Internet business,is having an e-mail service like AWEBER!What an e-mail service is and why do we have to pay for it?I ll explain right away.

Imagine this.You are visiting a nice website of something you are interested in.Let’s say it is a nice blog about golf.Usually in the left of right side,there is a web form,that asks for your name
and e-mail to join this blog’s newsletter.If you are really interested in golf and find this site’s content interesting,you would definitely would like to join their newsletter.They usually send
you an e-mail every once and a while with some golfing tips,tricks,news or anything concerning this game.Imagine if this site has 5000 visitors subscribed to their newletter, they could easily after a
while promote to their list they ve built, a nice affiliate product for golfers, that presents them some greater tips on how to play golf,what butts should they use etc etc

*An affiliate is someone who does not own a product but promotes other people’s products and when a sale is made, they get a commission.

If the blog owner is promoting a product that costs 50$ and he gets a 50% commission when a sale is made,he could make a lot of money simply by suggesting this product to his 5000 members list.
If 10 people buy this e-book out of the 5000 which is a lousy conversion, this guy will make

10 people * 25$ commission = 250$ from a single e-mail!And we are talking for a lousy conversion.Usuall, when you promoting something to your list,1 person out of 100, buys the product you are suggesting.
So a normal conversion of 1% means that if you promote a product to 5000 people and the 1% buys this product,you will have

50 people * 25$ commission = 1250$ just from an e-mail!Can you see the potential here?

In order to build a nice list,you must have a nice e-mail service,that takes care of everything.You could set this list and send the e-mails you want, whenever you like,at the time you like,saying
whatever you like.

Hope that you have understand so far a couple of things of how the things work.Talk to you soon

To your success

Dimitris
