"Frustrated and Discouraged Mom Needs Help"
by Dana
(South Carolina,US)
My story starts a couple of years ago when I was wanting to start a home business so I could stay at home with the kids and still have some type of income.
I had been using the internet to try and get deals on different things we need for home at a discount. Would find something every now and then that would save but what I noticed most on the internet was all the people talking about how much money they were making.
So I started trying to find something I thought I could do because I`m not that great with a computer. Ebay looked like it would be easy enough, just list and item to sell and wait for people to buy. Well it was more difficult than that and I really didn`t understand it that much.
Even though I bought a ebook telling me how. Understand yea maybe if I were one of those computer geeks. It didn`t tell me anything that wasn`t already explained on ebay.
If it wasn`t frustrating and discouraging enough to fail I keep thinking of the money I lost.
Not a quitter I continued to look for something when a friend told me her husband worked on the internet with real estate and he might could help me. He told me to decide what kind of website I wanted and what I wanted to sell and he`d help me set it up.
I did some more searching and saw that affiliates don`t have anything they sell of their own. They sell other people`s products. I like to read so I decided to do a book affiliate website because I enjoy reading and millions of other people are just like me.
We set up my website and I had books from amazon, barnes and noble and a lot of ebooks. He help me with html which I didn`t understand then and still don`t but he said you needed certain things in certain places to get the search engines to look at your website. This was suppose to get visitors.
Well it didn`t so there was another failure with a lot more money spent for nothing.
I`m pretty frustrated, discouraged and mad that you can`t find that much honesty on the internet. I guess I shouldn`t say that I`m sure that there are honest ones out there.
I came upon this website and I`m hoping it`s as honest and truthful as it says it is. I guess i`ll see soon enough.
I`m not a quitter and I will find something but I do need help to get started.
