I put together this 33 Days to Online Profits Review a few days ago as I was surfing around the web looking at things. Yes, part of being an internet marketer is surfing around and looking at lots of "shiny" things. LOL. Granted I can't do that all the time or I would never make any money, but anyways I found 33 Days to Online Profits and I found some very interesting things I would like to take a look at in this review.
Ok, so I went to the sales page and took a look at it, and started picking:
1. 33 days- I must point this out right now. Numbers are aesthetically pleasing. Marketing "gurus" will throw them at you because it's paints an image in your head. It also creates a false expectation. So this site says that if I give them 33 days, I'll be making real money online.
2. Words like massive and powerful-Once again aesthetically pleasing.
3. I can make start making sales the same day-As a matter of fact, it says that in 7 minutes I can be driving targeted traffic to my site. It also says that I will do it with Adwords. I don't have time to go into adwords right now, because it's a complicated, tricky little beast. You can make money with it, but you have to know what you are doing.
4. Now for a biggie!-This is one of the main reasons I decided to do this 33 Days to Profit Online Review. It says on the top header that the system is new and updated for 2005. This is 2010. For those of you who are new to learning internet marketing and trying to find a legitimate online business opportunity, I want to let you in on a secret: Internet Marketing is a constantly evolving business. The material may have many points that are still valid today, but chances are it's out of date 5 years later.
Next, I did a little surfing around to see what the general population of internet marketers and such had to say about 33 Days to Online Profits. Most of the reviews I did find were good, which given what I've seen, could mean that many marketers who are promoting are just making it sound good (just my opinion). The general consensus is that it helps to enhance the knowledge already known by internet marketers. so If you are a beginner I would start a little lower on the scale. I would start with something that gives you the tools to learn, not tools to expand on what you already know. If you are looking to learn internet marketing, I suggest taking a look at Wealthy Affiliate or One Week Marketing.
Next, I headed over to the Better Business Bureau Online to see what I could find. When I type in the url address with the better business bureau, I find that it does not recognize that URL. I also try the company name and there are no results for that either. Keep in mind, if sites are registered with the BBB, the company name will appear. Sometimes they have not been assigned a grade yet, but this is because the BBB is researching the company. In this case I tried several different avenues and no search results returned.
So what is my overall opinion in my 33 Days to Online Profits Review?
1. In my opinion, very shady. Like I said a site that throws a lot of numbers about what I can do or make in X amount of time I generally have a leery feeling about.
2. The product seems to be outdated. A lot has happened with computers and internet marketing in the last 5 years.
3. Product is not for beginners. If you are new, and looking for a legitimate online business opportunity, this is not the one.
4. Company nor site is registered with BBB.
Just a few of my findings on 33 Days to Online Profits. Have any ideas of your own? Leave me a comment.
BTW, did you hear that the price of Wealthy Affiliate is going up June 7th? Click Here to read my post about that and get more information.

An Online Internet Business Opportunity-Wealthy Affiliate is Going Up? WTF?
I have mainly discussed the online internet business opportunity, Wealthy Affiliate, in my writing thus far. It's not that I don't use other programs, but as I have stated before, Wealthy Affiliate is my home base. Soon enough I am going to venture out and start doing a weekly affiliate training program review. I plan to start that within the next two weeks, so watch out for James' hot affiliate training program reviews...LOL. Oh wait! Sorry, almost got on a soapbox, back to Wealthy Affiliate.
Wealthy Affiliate has taught me many things about affiliate marketing, and the program is expanding. It is my understanding that when the program started five years ago, it was nothing more than a 5 keyword lists a month for developing an online internet business opportunity and it was $29.99 a month. A couple of years ago the price increased to $39 per month and $359 per year.
Like I said Wealthy Affiliate has grown significantly and can show anyone who is will how to develop a legitimate online business opportunity through the affiliate marketing education program. Basically, the program takes you from knowing nothing (if you are totally new), all the way to building and maintaining your own websites and blogs by using a 12 week action plan. There are also tons of tutorials on many different topics. For those of you that have been around affiliate marketing for awhile, you will be able to fine tune your skills.
The forum is also a great place to network with other affiliate marketers and share ideas. Additionally, the forum is private, so we don't have to worry about spam postings or any ole' average Joe walking in (or surfing in) off the street! By visiting the Wealthy Affiliate home page, you will find a ton of information about the program, as well as be able to sign up for a free internet marketing guide.
Ok, back to the price increase for this online internet business opportunity. I am not a liberty to say how much the program is going up, but I will tell you this much: IT IS GOING TO BE A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE!

Affiliate Marketing Education: 3 Must Know Tips for Choosing Affiliate Marketing Education
Affiliate marketing education is vital if you are going to do well working as an internet marketer. I have found that out that anything I do is going to require some sort of education. If I was going to drive somewhere I have never been before, I would need a map. This post is going to concentrate on what to look for not just when seeking affiliate marketing education, but any type of information on the net. I would like to look at 3 points which I consider key to doing research on companies.
1. Use the most accessible tool you have available to do research: THE INTERNET! Sorry if I seem like I am shouting, but many people forget this is a great tool for locating information on affiliate marketing education programs. Here are a few things to look for before signing up for a company's programs:
2. Another important thing you should do is be aware of the company's terms and policies before you commit to anything. Some companies have hidden fees or minimal months you must be signed up when you initially try them out. This is one case where reading the small print is definitely to your advantage with affiliate marketing education.
3. What does the company offer you? Does it seem to be good quality training and support? Read all information regarding affiliate marketing education you are presented on the pages, as well as sign up for an free newsletters, etc. Ask any doctor and lawyer when they chose a school, if they didn't do a lot of research before making a decision. You should do the same for affiliate marketing.
Once again, and I can't stress this enough: READ CAREFULLY! Ask yourself this question as your reading: Does this company seem to care about what you can do for them, or what they can do for you? If the company wants to teach you, wants you to succeed, and makes everything about you, chances are it's a good company to associate with.
Wealthy Affiliate is my "home base" when it comes to affiliate marketing education. There are other different programs I use for different areas of marketing, but Wealthy Affiliate offers training and support on affiliate marketing from A-Z. Regardless of which direction you head in, or what companies you decide to sign up for it is imperative that you follow the suggestions that I have given you in this article.
Wealthy Affiliate offers a risk free guide to affiliate marketing education. If you decided to go over to Wealthy Affiliate and check it out, I suggest you sign up for the guide, and take your time and look through all of the information in each of the tabs to decide if affiliate marketing is something that you want to do.

Sorry if I seem like I am shouting, but many people forget this is a great tool for locating information on affiliate marketing education programs. Here are a few things to look for before signing up for a company's programs:
- First, if you see a company that says anything about making a million your first week, or there are pictures of houses, cars, boats, stacks of money, etc. on the main page: Run!
- If the company you are looking at passes that little acid test, then go to your favorite search engine and type in keywords like: "company name scam", "company name review", "is company a scam". You get the idea. Furthermore, read what people have to say about the company.
- Visit blogs and forums and search to see what people are saying about affiliate marketing education. A lot of times, you will see people have asked the same questions, and have gotten numerous answers.
- Post questions yourself! This is a great way to get answers to exactly what you are looking for. Doing these things will develop a pattern of general consensus of the site.

Why an Internet Business Guide is Important-A Great Internet Business Guide for Beginners
An internet business guide is essential to anyone who is wanting to use the internet to make money online and be successful. Now in my mind success is not measured just by how much money I have in the bank, but I also measure it by how many new things I am able to learn and apply.
Let's take a look at this example. You are about to embark upon the vacation of your dreams. You have decided you want to take a cross country trip and you want to be able to hit all of the sites and scenes along the way. You have your luggage packed, reservations made, and all your business in order. But there is one thing that you don't have: a map! (or a GPS in this day and age) How are you going to be able to enjoy all of the things you have planned for your trip if you don't have this one simple tool?
It is very much the same for any kind of online venture that I want to take. An internet business guide is my map for making money online. I have decided what direction I have wanted to pursue and I have done all of my pre-planning but I have no idea what I am doing once I get ready to start. An internet business guide puts all this into focus for me. (click the link above for my latest Ezine on 5 must know tips for choosing a guide!)
Now, I must say reading a map is a little easier than understanding these money making guides at time. Another Ezine I have published on tips for using an internet business guide (<--click this link!). This article outlines the ways to get comfortable with using an internet business guide. People don't take the time to get comfortable and quickly label information as scams. I got some news for you: in order for you to make a legitimate online business opportunity, you have to put in some work and practice. That Ezine article looks at the system I use.
So, that's my spill on online business guides in a nutshell. It's very basic, as I've found the easiest way to make money online is do things simply. In future posts, I will look at some different types of guides, and give you some reviews. Until then, keep an open mind and take some action!
My favorite guide is One Week Marketing. It was the first one I used and showed me how to use all free methods to make money online. For a FREE 18 page sneak peak: click here
