    Thanks Jim, great discussion.

    These economic times are tuff for many families. I have been fortunate in that my J.O.B. has been secure and will not be effected by the global turmoil.

    I have been observing the economic envirnonment and while I can see that people are truly struggling all over the world, some people and companies are finding ways to turn a lemon into lemonade, it really quite interesting. I read a post by Scott Burns, a financial advisor. In it he discussed how a home owner can take the blow that many home owners have in their home equity and turn it into another home and a nice chunk of cash to recharge the savings(RRSP) account. Take a loss of 50+Grand and turn it into a gain of upwards of $100+grand. A great article and an example of what your video says to me.

    I think the lesson that can be learned from folks such as yourself, and financial gurus, like Scott Burns, and all those folks out there that have figured out how to not only get by, in this economic crisis, but are prospering, is to be positive, creative and know that there is always "a way".

    A great lesson, and very true. There are plenty of ways that the Internet can be used to make an income, even in these economic times. There is an ever growing list of snake oil scams online so it is really easy to get burned and lose money. But there are also some very real and valuable resources available to teach folks different ways to work the web. I think one of the first things a person should do that is researching entering the world of Internet Business and marketing, is to find a few respected leaders in the industry and look to them for guidance on what works and what doesn't.

    Thanks for making this video Jim!

    I do not know much about making money on the internet. I am desperate at this point to learn. Although I am on a lot of mind altering drugs due to a terminal illness. I am taking my family down with me. This is killing me. I have been unable to work for three years. I finally get disability only to be able to pay for my Bc/bs with it! Just ready to give up. Every plan I have come across there is a monthly charge involved. My medicines alone are a thounsand dollars a month. I can not afford anymore bills as I have 50K in credit card debt that I owe at the moment and I just mortgaged my home to make those payments. I would do anything to get the help to understand how to make money on this computer….I just do not understand. Thanks for your interest and if you could help I would be so grateful! Sincerely, Shelly

    Yes, I'd be interested in any classes that are specific in the most basic, fundamental, ways to do affiliat marketing.

    Awesome Idea, teleseminars would be a fantastic way to do it. The basics on how to get started and to make sense of it all would be of great value to alot of us.

    BOY would I be interested! Yes Yes Yes. I've been fumbling around with trying out this and that and haven't succeeded at any of it yet. Since my mother passed away I've been supporting my elderly father, and the job lay off I suffered last October hasn't helped things at all. My disabled husband can only contribute so much to helping around the house. And at this point I may get him to packing up boxes as we are about to lose our home to foreclosure and have NO idea where to go. So YES I need to know! I'll be happy to pay for your services, but if we could arrange to do that after I start making money it would help alot in breaking the cycle. Thanks Jim.
