SpaceWebs

For those who have come to this site, thinking that they’re going to find information about affiliate marketing and related topics, I’m sorry to disappoint you. The previous owner of the site let this domain lapse, for whatever reason. I thought it was an interesting website, and a week after discovering it, found that the domain registar had the domain in limbo - it was pending deletion. So I thought it was a cool domain, and figured I’d give it a go, if the owner decided he didn’t want to continue the site.

Anyway, to address the point as to whether I’ll support affiliate marketing articles here or not, I probably won’t - or at least not too many of them. I’m quite skeptical as to how much money someone can make from such business models, if they’re just getting into the business. Those who have large mailing lists built, and have built up a “relationship” with their newletter readers over the past 2-3 years may do okay. Nonetheless, I wonder just how many different schemes can be hatched every month, and every year? I’m amazed at all the different names they come up with, the different techniques, the different software available, the whole 9 nine yards - its like they sit up nights thinking up this stuff, and it probably is basically all the same type of scheme as done months ago, but with a different twist.

I wonder if there are any customers who just collect their eBooks. They pay out the $49.95 or $97.00 every single time, just so they don’t miss out on a single, exciting opportunity their chosen Marketing Guru decides to send their way. The credit cards have to be nearly maxed out on this stuff… I’m sure many are buying the stuff on credit with hopes to pay off the credit card - something is going to hit or finally make them rich, like it did with Don, or Fred, or Susie in the testimonials. Its like going back to the slot machine, over and over again, until they finally find something TRULY easy and profitable that they can do. In the meantime, they have 200 eBooks that averaged them about $97 each, doing nothing but waiting to be deleted from the hard drive in the next crash. I think its an addiction, and that’s precisely why many eBook authors or affiliates with large lists, can make a comfortable living every year. If they did a report on their sales, I bet their is a number of people that buy, every single time - religiously!

Anyway, the marketing effort must not have worked well with the previous rendition of this web site, or I don’t think it would have been allowed to be slipped into cancellation status. Its a hard field to get into, and I don’t recommend it to anyone I know. You have to pretty much have a miracle moment to make any money at it, because the competition is too fierce. I recommend getting a job doing something, outside of the Internet. My wife is selling black raspberries this summer - $2 per pint. I estimate she’s probably going to make $40 this summer off that deal. I’m writing small little programs on the side for a web page designer. It helps bring in an extra $300-$600 per month - I can’t complain. It helps pay for my online college bill.

I hope you enjoyed reading this. Here’s a video that supports this view:
