Rich, I haven't heard of either of those websites, sorry. That doesn't mean they are good or bad though. I didn't hear about WA until 2.5 months ago. I would judge them by their sales page. If they claim that you will "make tons of money in your sleep with no work at all" or something like that I wouldn't trust them. But if they claim that they will explain and show you HOW to make money, then it might be legit. You can posts links here and somebody can look at them if you want more advice.
Also...yeah, I have a dumb username. I just picked a random name when I joined the forum because I didn't plan on staying. But I decided this is a great forum so I decided to stick around...and now I'm stuck with that name, lol.

Well the reason I asked about them is the first one....yourbizwebsite.com is the site I got routed to for my "turnkey" website from Duvet Dollars. The other one, Myproductcenter.com is the site I got routed to after (dare I admit it....) fell for something that I think is probably the exact same type of scam for a turnkey website that will have me making money in no time at all, after buying into "underground cash secret". What can i say...after my first embarrassing scam, I was ripe for the "real deal" and fell for it hook line and sinker....so as far as the sales pages of these "work at home" money making programs, they are quite good (convincing...) but now that I know there is no site, or legitimate opportunity that can make me money the way they claimed, I know what to look for now. I realize I don't need an opportunity...I need an education so feel that I will be eventually signing on with WA.
Is Keyword Elite software offered as part of the membership with WA?

Hey Rich,
Unfortunately, as you found out, the main "opportunity" you find with many "get rich quick" programs is that they only real "opportunity" they give you is to waste your money. WA in contrast, DOES give you an education - if there was a course at a college or university about how to make money online, it would include everything that is offered to you at WA.
To answer your question, Keyword Elite is not offered with your WA membership, but at this state of the game, you really don't need anything like Keyword Elite - what is more important is learning the proper fundamentals of what it takes to make money online. Having said that, WA does come with a pretty cool keyword tool that you can use to find keywords for the campaigns you put together online to make a profit from.

Rich, you are right again that you need an education and not an "opportunity"...whatever that means anyway, lol. I would never trust something that promises to make you a lot of money instantly. It takes hard work and knowledge to be able to succeed. Surprisingly it doesn't take all that long to learn either.
I compare this to a college curriculum. But instead of taking 15 credit hours you can work at your own pace. Instead of taking half a year to learn the basics, WA gives you the material and lets you work at your own pace. Within the first two months I felt pretty confident about what I was doing.....However, there is ALWAYS more to learn. I participate in several forums to try to learn something new everyday. WA was definitely the starting grounds for me, and I still think it is the best resource available.
One thing I will say though....some of the tools on WA aren't the newest. For example, the keyword tools. There are a few keywords tools available on WA to help with research. It shows various keyword variations and the approximate amount of competition. A nice tool...BUT I recommend something else for keyword research. Google Adwords recently added a new feature to their keyword tool (free to access, by the way) that gives exact numbers for monthly searches and PPC competition for different keywords. It doesn't show "quoted" keyword competition, but I still think this free tool is great. Keyword Elite or similar programs don't come with WA, and I don't know if they actually work...but if they do that would be an awesome tool and I might consider them some day!

LOL, I forgot the real reason I meant to post here. I have some good news. This thread did start as my success story and I want to keep it updated occasionally.
Anyway I have some good news to share. I got my first Clickbank check in the mail today!  I've earned money with them already, but didn't qualify for my first pay period because of the Paypal limitation. So the next pay period I made more sales and luckily got some of the right type of cards. Apparently it takes 2.5 weeks after a pay period ends before you get your check...but it came today! Yipeee! I've now made a few hundred dollars online with Clickbank and made over a hundred dollars with various other affiliate programs.
Also...not quite as exciting, but I got a mug from EzineArticles! LOL, I know...not a sale or anything, but it felt nice to get something from them. I've written a decent number of articles now and it was nice for them to acknowledge me for it, lol. Anyway, I'm still pretty new to IM, but I feel like I'm moving along fairly nicely. However, school starts next week (I'm a senior in college) and I'm not sure how much time I'll be able to spend on IM since I'll be busy with homework. Oh well...I'll keep working on IM whenever I get the chance. Wish me luck, and good luck to everyone else too!
