When I watch many internet marketers at work I wonder what the real point of their business is. So many seem to be geared strictly toward buying and reviewing internet marketing products so that they can tell their list to buy and market that product so that… you get the idea.

Is there really a point to all that?

You may have noticed that I don’t review a lot of products. For that matter, I don’t buy that many. That’s because I know that all too often I will forget to use said products, so why waste the money?

This leaves me in a great condition to watch what other marketers do without falling into that cycle.

The launch of this product or that is always a big deal. There’s the hype, the talk of the great new secrets, and of course, anyone who doesn’t buy is going to be way, way behind on the curve, lose their business, go bankrupt… well, maybe I’m exaggerating just a little.

Now I don’t mind seeing a good variety of products out there. People want to learn how to earn money from home. I don’t blame them. It sure beats working for someone else.

It’s the hype that annoys.

However, I can certainly agree that you can tremendously shorten your learning curve by buying the right products, even though much of the necessary information can be found for free on forums. The trouble with forums is that a lot of false information is posted as well. Makes it really tough to know what to do in order to succeed.

Then again, the resources that will best help you will depend on what exactly you want to do in your home business. Pay per click, creating your own websites, informational versus product sales, blogging, etc. each require somewhat different tactics.

My own recommendation is to figure out where you would like to start and find a reasonably priced, well recommended ebook to get yourself started. Master it. Then if you want to expand, repeat the process with the skill you would like to add.

Oh yes, one more thing. Don’t just focus on marketing to your fellow marketers. There’s much more out there that you will probably find more interesting and much easier.
