Systems work...if you WORK THEM> A lot of them are very good, but total hands off? Not unless you are paying money (sometimes BIG money). Making money online does take work, I had a LOT of emails from Tim and others on CB Pirates-that was work. They did work earlier to develop their lists. Outsourcing can help-but that takes money too. I don't think there is really a free lunch. It is actually one of my pet peeves about online business.

True true. Systems ARE GREAT....if you USE them and USE them PROPERLY! But too many people buy stuff for it to sit on the shelf unused! You have to USE them!

Hi Tim.

Systems are a dime a dozen. When people fail they always blame the system not realizing the problem wasn't the system it's usually the people using the system.

Self-branding and list building will always be the best way to create a long-term Internet business.

I have to comment on this one.

'If you use any system, just remember it’s a tool for... Your Business.'

I totally agree Tim, I will also say, it ranks as one of your best advise... :)

One of the best advice you have written, so far!

When I started my Internet adventures 4 years ago,
the first thing I did was to get a premium hosting
account and several domains.

But there has been a lot of miss-adventures along the
way taking short cuts by building my Internet presence
on other people's virtual real estate properties to
save time, money and effort.

The truth is any Internet tool or operation that does
not bring people back to your main camp of operations,
is futile.

But these "do-it-for-you" setup are hard to resist.

Hi Tim,

You couldn't be more right. Like the saying goes don't put all your eggs in one basket, and DO NOT build someones business build your own.

Take care,
Chris

Good advice, as always. Any ideas on article marketing in your funnel?

Great tips Tim. Yea I do hope people start realizing that there is no magical system out there.

CB pirate might be the closest I've seen to it, but no matter it's all about building your list for long term success.

There's lots of stuff that can help you on your way though, like cb pirate and AF. :)

Hi Tim...

I am a member of your TE and also Affiliate Funnel, etc. I understand about not putting all of your eggs in one basket and I do agree. My problem is that there is just so much to read and understand, when will there be any time to "work" your business? Can't someone just spell it out in steps, do this first, then this, then that? I know it sure would make my life a lot easier. Seems all I do is read and read and find myself working less and less. Any suggestions about this would be awesome. Thanks Tim... Judy
