<p><strong>Business Opportunity</strong>: Quick Click Commissions</p>
<p><strong>Price:</strong> $46</p>
<p><strong>Type of Business</strong>: Affiliate Advertising on Facebook</p>

<h2>Finding Honest Reviews of Quick Click Commissions</h2>
<p>Wow, trying to find a honest review of the new Quick Click Commissions was quite difficult! It&#8217;s got all of the internet marketing &#8220;gurus&#8221; promoting it, as well as all of their followers.</p>
<p>I have to admit, they do a heck of a job in selling this idea. They have a very attractive actress, telling you everything you would want to hear, and tapping into a lot of people&#8217;s frustrations to finding an &#8220;easy way to make big money.&#8221; Don&#8217;t get sucked into the hype&#8230;</p>
<p>I did a search for &#8220;quick click commissions reviews,&#8221; and I found page after page of search results of nothing but rave reviews&#8230;not what I consider to be &#8220;real&#8221; reviews though. Just simple promotional pages trying to get you to buy it from <em>their affiliate link</em>.</p>
<p>The only &#8220;real reviews&#8221; of Quick Click Commissions I found were <a title="real quick click profits reviews" href="http://www.warriorforum.com/internet-marketing-product-reviews-ratings/527634-quick-click-commissions.html" target="_blank">here</a> on the Warrior Forum, where real people, who work from home on the internet, hang out.</p>
<h2>What Reviews of Quick Click Commissions Told Me&#8230;</h2>
<p>Yes, <strong>you could probably make some money</strong> by using the Quick Click Commissions plan&#8230;<strong>but</strong>, if I were to do it, <strong>I would hit it fast and hard</strong>.</p>
<p>Why? Because I feel that this will be a <strong>very short-term</strong> way to make money. Facebook will no-doubt find out about people basically spamming their website, and will shut it down fairly quickly.</p>
<p><strong>My Rating:</strong></p>
<p>***~~ (3/5)</p>
<p>I actually like the concept, but think you would probably be doing good to make your money back before it gets shut down.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Product:</strong> Marketing with Anik Coaching Program</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Website:</strong> <a title="Marketing with Anik Reviws" href="http://www.home-business-ratings.com/go/marketingwithanik" target="_blank">marketingwithanik.com</a></p>
<p><strong>Price:</strong> $37</p>
<h2>Finding Reviews for Marketing with Anik</h2>
<p>I&#8217;ve just spent the last 2 hours looking for honest <strong>reviews for the Marketing with Anik</strong> personal coaching course. I looked through the first 130 google results for &#8220;marketing with anik review,&#8221; and I honestly could not find even one real review&#8230; everything was just rehashes of the sales page .rying to get you to buy from <em>their</em> link.</p>
<p><strong>This didn&#8217;t surprise me though..</strong>.</p>
<p>Based on what I&#8217;ve seen from the author in the past, he pretty much makes his living off of pimping other expensive &#8220;guru&#8221; products. Sign up for one of his mailing lists, and you&#8217;ll get emails from him touting products from all his &#8220;friends.&#8221; It&#8217;s sickening really, talking people who look to him for help into spending huge amounts of money into buying lackluster make money products.</p>
<p>No, I have not purchased Marketing with Anik. I&#8217;ve bought his stuff in the past, and have been less than impressed. Sure, he has thousands of followers who have spent lots of money on his products, but in my opinion, if his stuff was so good, you wouldn&#8217;t need to buy more and more of his products in order to start making money.</p>
<p><strong>All that being said, Marketing with Anik actually shows some promise from the point of view of someone brand new to internet marketing</strong>. The 15 week training course seems to be a good step by step overview of how internet marketing works. It would be a good introduction into learning keyword research, small website creation, and internet advertising.</p>
<h2>My Recommendation About Marketing with Anik:</h2>
<p>I would recommend the 15 week training course, but <strong>use it from the perspective of building Adsense websites based around things you are interested in, and possibly add affiliate links for related products</strong>.</p>
<p>I would <strong>not</strong> use it as a basis for pimping other &#8220;guru&#8221; making money products. That market is too competitive, and it kinda gives me a guilty conscience for recommending things to people that they don&#8217;t need. Just my opinion.</p>
<p><strong>I would not recommend any of the &#8220;upgrades.&#8221;</strong> Just go through the videos, and learn the basics. He also gives a huge amount of information as bonuses, and in my opinion, they would do nothing but confuse the newbie marketer.</p>
<p>In short, the 15 week training course (only) would be a good deal for someone brand new to internet marketing.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the link if you want to check it out: <a href="http://www.home-business-ratings.com/go/marketingwithanik" target="_blank">MarketingWithAnik</a></p>
<p>Hint: Close the original window, and you&#8217;ll get another page where you can get it for $27</p>

<p><strong>Product:</strong> Commission Autopilot</p>
<p><strong>Offered by:</strong> Paul Ponna</p>
<p><strong>Website:</strong> <a title="Commission Autopilot Review" href="http://www.home-business-ratings.com/go/commissionautopilot" target="_blank">CommissionAutopilot.com</a></p>
<p><strong>Price:</strong> $47</p>
<p>If you are on the mailing list of just about any internet marketer, you&#8217;ve no doubt received emails (probably a bunch of them) promoting <strong>Commission Autopilot</strong>.</p>
<p>Commission Autopilot is a software package that promises you good money for very little work. You simply plug an affiliate link into the software which will generate articles that will rank well in Google, and you make commissions off the sales.</p>
<h2>Honest Reviews of Commission Autopilot</h2>
<p>Kinda hard to find, aren&#8217;t they?</p>
<p>I spent <strong>over an hour</strong> trying to find just <strong>one</strong> honest review&#8230;</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t figured it out already, there are a LOT of internet marketers promoting Commission Autopilot. Where can you find an <em>honest</em> review of this product?</p>
<ul>
<li>NOT at CommissionAutopilotReview.com, or .net, or .org</li>
<li>NOT at HonestCommissionAutopilot.com, .net, or .org</li>
<li>NOT at any other website with Commission Autopilot or Bonus in the domain name</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Those sites are made by professional internet marketers just trying to get you to buy that product from their link so they make a commission.</strong></p>
<p>The only real, honest review of Commission Autopilot I saw was at ReviewsGuide.net.</p>
<p>Here are excerpts from that review:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Pros:</strong></p>
<p>The software is designed to help you build tons of backlinks from the high authority document sharing sites. This is usually a neglected area in backlink building. So if you have been using all other tools for backlinks, you now have the power to use the doc sharing sites for additional backlinks. With a cost of $47 the software is definitely worth the price.</p>
<p><strong>Cons:</strong></p>
<p>If you buy the software purely by the hype of earning money without even having your site then you will be disappointed. This software should be used as an additional source of valuable backlinks &amp; not the only source. Additionally do not expect to earn money by just using the software to generate rehashed content from PLR articles. Remember if the content shared on document sites is not good, it will just be good to get another backlink &amp; not go viral as the author suggested.</p>
<h3 id="toc-commission-autopilot-review">Commission Autopilot Review</h3>
<p>Finally if you are a newbie looking to make quick &amp; fast money without doing any work, this software is NOT for you but if you are looking for automated link building from authority sites, this software should definitely add value. Do keep in mind that early bird gets the worm. Once every other affiliate marketeer starts using the software &amp; starts spamming the doc sites with garbage content, the links won’t carry any value. So get your act together &amp; buy commission autopilot now!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<hr />
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2> My Take on Commission Autopilot:</h2>
<p>I look at potential business opportunities a bit differently than those on other websites&#8230;</p>
<p>I try to look at things from the perspective of someone with <strong>absolutely no experience, or prior knowledge about the business being considered</strong>.</p>
<p>With that in mind&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>I would NOT recommend Commission Autopilot to those new to internet marketing</strong>. This seems like a great backlink-building piece of software, and a great piece to a puzzle of building a huge, authority-type website.</p>
<p>In my opinion, your money would be much better spent on the <a title="One Week Marketing Review" href="http://www.home-business-ratings.com/one-week-marketing-review.html">One Week Marketing</a> program, where you would get much better training in identifying keywords, doing some minor site creation, etc.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span style="color: #cc0000;">What exactly, is a <strong>niche market?</strong></span></h2>
<p>If you are looking to make money from home in <strong>affiliate marketing</strong>, (selling other people&#8217;s products,) then you no doubt want to find a <strong>niche market</strong> to sell your products to.</p>
<p>Perhaps the biggest mistake beginning internet marketers make is not properly defining the <strong>specific</strong> market of people that they are trying to sell to. Let&#8217;s face it, there are probably <strong>thousands</strong> of sites related to your product that are more established on the internet that you must compete against to try to get your share of the customer&#8217;s money. There&#8217;s a lot of competition, and <strong>you must be able to set yourself apart</strong> from the others in order to get people to see your offer, and then, hopefully, buy from you.</p>
<p>Successful affiliate marketers make their livings marketing to small, but very profitable <strong>niches, or groups of people</strong>.</p>
<p>These marketers <strong>identify specific problems that groups of people are having, and offer them information, and a solution to their problem</strong>.</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">Niche Marketing Examples</span></strong></h2>
<p>Here are some examples, both good and bad, of internet marketing niches:</p>
<h3>&#8220;Bad&#8221; Examples of Niche Marketing:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Dog Training</li>
<li>Golf better</li>
<li>Weight loss</li>
</ul>
<h3>&#8220;Good&#8221; Examples of Niche Marketing:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Train puppy to stop biting</li>
<li>How to cure a golf slice</li>
<li>How to lose weight for diabetics</li>
</ul>
<p>If you concentrate your marketing efforts on the second group above, your chances of success are greatly increased as you&#8217;ll be able to use low and no-cost internet marketing techniques without having to create a massive website in order to compete.</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">How to Find a Niche</span></strong></h2>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span style="color: #cc0000;"><strong>Thinking About Making a Free Website?</strong></span></h2>
<p>It&#8217;s very tempting, when you are just beginning, to want to <strong>make a website for free</strong>. Hey, no one wants to waste money, in fact, I started out using free websites myself, they are a great way to get your feet wet, and learn some of the ins and outs of website creation. I was also under the (mistaken) impression that a &#8220;real&#8221; website was expensive and difficult to create.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #cc0000;"><strong>Where to Make a Free Website</strong></span></h3>
<p>Here are some of the better places to make a free website:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://blogger.com" target="_blank">Blogger.com</a> is a great place to start a free blog. It&#8217;s super-easy to get a blog started in just a matter of minutes. It&#8217;s run by Google, so it&#8217;s easy to add Google Adsense to your free blog to help make some money.</li>
<li><a href="http://squidoo.com" target="_blank">Squidoo.com</a> has a page creator that&#8217;s simple to use, and can create a nice free webpage. You can&#8217;t really make a free website here, but you can make a series of pages, and link them together.</li>
<li><a href="http://weebly.com" target="_blank">Weebly.com</a> lets you make a free website with their site creator that more closely resembles a real website. They also don&#8217;t have advertising embedded in your free website, like many of the other free website hosts.</li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="color: #cc0000;"><strong>Disadvantages of Making a Free Website:</strong></span></h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>No Control</strong> &#8211; free website hosts are kind of famous for changing their terms of service. They may, at some point, decide not to host websites with particular content. I&#8217;ve had sites removed because the free website host changed their minds on what they wanted their site to be about.</li>
<li><strong>Limited Advertising</strong> &#8211; many free website hosts limit what kind of advertising you use on your website, and some allow advertising supplied only by them (where they get a cut of your money.)</li>
<li><strong>Your Free Website Could Just &#8220;Disappear&#8221;</strong> &#8211; many free web hosts just &#8220;lose&#8221; your website when they do updates, etc. It stinks, but it happens all the time.</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">Making a Website for Free Makes Sense if&#8230;</span></strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>you are making a website <strong>just for fun</strong>, or experience</li>
<li>you <strong>don&#8217;t</strong> plan on <strong>making money</strong> with your website</li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="color: #cc0000;"><strong>How to Make Your Own Website for CHEAP</strong></span></h3>
<p><strong>It really doesn&#8217;t cost much to own a website that YOU have absolute control of.</strong> No need to worry about changing terms from the free website hosts limiting what content you have on your website, or how you choose to make money with your website.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">You can make your own website for under $20&#8230; yup twenty bucks!</span></strong></p>
<p>That $20 includes your:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Domain name</strong> &#8211; you can get a .com name for $<strong>8.95 a year</strong> at <strong><a title="Get Domain Name" href="https://www.go-mama-hosting.com/" target="_blank">Go-Mama</a></strong>, just plug in your desired domain name in where it says &#8220;Check Domain Availability.&#8221; If the name you want is not available, it will give you other possible domain names that are available.</li>
<li><strong>First Month of Hosting</strong> &#8211; I use <a title="Great WebSite Hosting" href="http://www.home-business-ratings.com/go/hostgator" target="_blank"><strong>HostGator</strong></a>. It&#8217;s <strong>$9.95 a month</strong> (less if you prepay) and comes with <strong>unlimited domain names on just one hosting account</strong>. No need to buy a new hosting account for each website you make! No matter how many websites you choose to make, they&#8217;ll all get hosted for this one low monthly price!</li>
<li><strong>To Make a Website</strong>, I use <strong>WordPress</strong>. It&#8217;s a blog-style website where your visitors can interact with you. It&#8217;s very flexible, and your website will be picked up quickly by the search engines.</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">Need Help Setting Up a WordPress Website?</span></strong></h3>
<p>If you&#8217;ll get your hosting through my <a title="Host Gator" href="http://www.home-business-ratings.com/go/hostgator" target="_blank"><strong>Host Gator</strong></a> link, I&#8217;ll install and configure a WordPress website for you <strong>FREE</strong>. (I get paid by the Gator)</p>
<p><strong>To Get Your Website:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Buy a domain name</strong>. I don&#8217;t care where you get it, but you can use the go-mama link above to get a .com for $8.95.</li>
<li><strong>Buy Your Hosting Through the HostGator link above</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Then, <a href="mailto:webmaster@home-business-ratings.com?subject=Set Up WordPress Site">Send me an email</a> with a copy of your hosting payment. We&#8217;ll then set up a time to talk on the phone, or web chat, then we&#8217;ll get you rolling. I&#8217;ll even do a little <strong>keyword research</strong> for you, point you to some nice <strong>free tutorials</strong> giving you the ins and outs of internet marketing, and <strong>answer further questions for you through email for 30 days</strong>. If you need help choosing a domain name, email me at the link above.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re ready to own your own website, this is a great way to get started!</p>

<p><strong>Review of ProjectQuickCash by Alok Jain:</strong></p>
<p>ProjectQuickCash gives you 5 money-making ideas by using internet marketing.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Cashing the Spike Part 1</strong> tells you how to research hot trends and find keywords that people are searching for at the time. He shows how search trends can change even hourly, and how you can &#8220;cash in&#8221; on them. You then find a product to promote, and create a Google Adwords campaign to run ads to try to take advantage of the trend, and send people directly to the merchant&#8217;s website. <strong>Good info for experienced internet marketers, but not near enough help for a new marketer.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Cashing the Spike Part 2</strong> shows how to create a &#8220;funny news&#8221; catch-all free blog to take advantage of the same trends spotted in part 1, then use social bookmarking sites to promote that blog to try to get Google Adsense clicks. Again, <strong>ok for experienced marketers, but there are too many nuances involved for new marketers</strong>, in my opinion.</li>
<li><strong>Underground Niche Profits</strong> is probably the best section for inexperienced marketers, but I personally, don&#8217;t like this style of marketing. It involves participating in forums to sell products through a forum signature link. Please.</li>
<li><strong>Super Placement Targeting</strong> involves targeting potential customers with Google Adwords by advertising strictly on sites that used Google Adsense. WAY above what a new marketers should be even contemplating using as a home business.</li>
<li><strong>Leeching on a Launch</strong> involves trying to muscle in with the big boys by promoting new affiliate marketing books when they are released. <strong>Newbies should stay away from messing with this niche, it&#8217;s WAY too competitive!</strong></li>
</ol>
<p><strong>In Summary:</strong> <strong>ProjectQuickCash</strong> is <strong>way above the heads of internet marketers that are just starting out</strong>. It has some decent information for highly experienced marketers. I did find interesting the section on spotting search trends, but that was information that&#8217;s easily available online at no cost.</p>
<p><strong>My Rating:</strong> From a newbie&#8217;s perspective&#8230; I give it a 2 out of 5</p>
<p>**~~~ (2/5)</p>
<p>PS: This product is no longer available. The author says he is protecting his customers by not flooding the market further. Good.<br />

<h2><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">Review of Honest Riches by Holly Mann</span></strong></h2>
<p>I&#8217;ve been subscribing to email lists from the so-called internet marketing &#8220;gurus&#8221; for years, and I&#8217;ve been slammed by emails from these gurus pushing every book and internet marketing course you can dream of&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Every</strong> new release of <strong>anything</strong> from <strong>any</strong> of the gurus gets me <strong>at least</strong> a dozen emails&#8230; ugh.</p>
<p><strong>Holly Mann&#8217;s Honest Riches has never been promoted to me</strong> (still to this day!) by those gurus, I just kinda stumbled onto it after clicking link after link trying to find some <em>real</em> help with my internet marketing questions.</p>
<p><strong>And I figured out why it&#8217;s never been promoted to me&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>It was all I needed</strong> to get started in business for myself! I guess the gurus figured out that if I bought <a title="Honest Riches" href="http://www.home-business-ratings.com/go/honestriches" target="_blank"><strong>Honest Riches</strong></a>, I wouldn&#8217;t need anything else they &#8220;offered&#8221; to me.</p>
<p>She shows you step-by-step, everything you need to know on how to:</p>
<ul>
<li>do <strong>keyword research</strong></li>
<li>make money <strong>without a website</strong></li>
<li><strong>set up</strong> free and paid-for <strong>websites</strong></li>
<li><strong>advertise</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>It&#8217;s set up into 10 sections, each giving you step-by-step, easy-to-follow  instructions for the topic covered.</p>
<p><strong>My Opinion</strong> in a nutshell:</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re struggling to get started in affiliate marketing, and are looking for a path to follow, definitely try Honest Riches. I think you&#8217;ll be amazed at how different it is from most of the other home business ebooks.</p>
<p>My Rating:</p>
<p>This is a great book to help you identify different avenues for making money on the internet. It will not, though, give you the detailed step-by-step instructions to fully develop an income, but if you&#8217;re trying to find your niche on the internet, this is a great place to start.</p>
<p>****~ (4/5)</p>
