I Am NOT A Guru!!

I'm sure most people reading this blog can understand why I am doing this, but I wanted to clarify my mission for those who aren't familiar with my numerous posts on webmaster forums all over the internet.

I HATE SCAMMERS!! I am extremely anti-guru and I loathe people who take advantage of newbies and rip people off online. You will NEVER, ever, see me making unreasonable claims of riches anywhere on the net. I am NOT a guru!!!

A "guru" will try to lure you in with a fancy looking landing page full of pictures of hot cars and expensive houses and then tell you it can all be yours, if you just pay him $XX amount of money for this "valuable" information. My site, on the other hand, is plain looking on purpose because I'm not trying to blind you with false promises. The info I present to you is FREE. I don't want your money. I want you to succeed!

To that end, I write posts about the actual methods I've tried when earning money online and I provide payment proof to show you when something is legit and pays on time. Sometimes I only make a few dollars and other times I make 100's. Sometimes I do well at a method and others I fail miserably.

I'm human. I'm not perfect and much of learning how to make money online involves constant trial and error. I try to show the mistakes I've made to prevent you from making the same ones and I also explain clearly (I hope!) what DOES work, so you don't waste time on what doesn't.

I don't make exaggerated claims of making $1000 overnight or $40,000 a month "passive income" (you DO know there's no such thing, right?? Everything involves at least some effort to sustain). I show REAL, achievable goals that ANYONE can attain, with patience, persistence and motivation.

My average monthly income online is around $2500, which is $30,000 a year. I'm not rich, but I'm not poor either. It's a comfortable amount that pays the bills while still working for myself at home, and to me that is important, since I cannot work a "normal" 9-5 job.

A few years ago I developed an intestinal condition which prevented me from continuing at my job in an office, so I started to look for alternative income possibilities. I didn't want to go on a government disability program, as I wanted to maintain my independence and "pay my own way", as they say. Earning online was the answer!

As a newbie, I made plenty of mistakes when I started, but I learned from them and kept going. This is my own journey of discovery, but I'm hoping that my story will inspire others to understand that it CAN be done.

You CAN be your own boss working from home, but only IF you stop listening to gurus and following their hyped up programs that never work. Instead, try setting a REALISTIC goal that can be met with effort and patience and you'll be amazed at the results! Don't let the poor economy force you out of a job...work for YOURSELF and leave the stress behind!! I believe in you!!! :)
