			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I just opened my email and got another email from another internet marketing guru telling his rags to riches story and how they started with a beat-up computer and 50 bucks <span id="more-8"></span>and then dropping a huge pricetag for some course that will supposedly make you a lot of money.   Im not questioning the fact that the knowledge that he is offering is valuable, or even worth what he selling it for. But</p>
<p>it really ticks me off when people try to make money on the newbies. Ive been in the internet marketing game for a while, and Ive made some money. I don&#8217;t begrudge anyone their success. But it is just not right to hit someone new to Internet Marketing with a pricetag that most people cannot afford, especially in a down economy.</p>
<p>If you really want to help someone who is new to internet marketing then put the knowledge on the lower shelf.  Stop fleecing the newbies. Most of them have no clue what internet marketing is and how it works.</p>
<p>If you want to help someone, then help them. Offer your product at a price that they can afford. Or offer a payment plan.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time the gurus develop some integrity.  I&#8217;m not saying that all IMers are like this, just a few primma donas who have forgotten where they started.</p>
<p>This is for the newbie&#8230;.</p>
<p>Internet Marketing works, but don&#8217;t get caught up in the hype.   You can start your business for about about 40 bucks.</p>
<p>$10 &#8211; Domain</p>
<p>$10 &#8211; Hosting</p>
<p>$20 &#8211; Autorepsonder</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all you really need.  If you want to find training that is second to none and wont cost you a dime, check out   <a title="Thirty Day Challenge" href="http://thirtydaychallenge.com " target="_blank">http://thirtydaychallenge.com.</a> The whole intent of the program is to teach you how to make your first dollar online.</p>
