I still collect emails about products but I put them aside in a special folder and resist the temptation.

I spent a large portion of my first year online as a "product collector" lol...it sucks! You just gotta do it and also realize you can't use EVERYTHING at the same time. It's almost like a diet, you need a little bit of self control lol. I agree man! I spent a large portion of my first year online as a “product collector” lol…it sucks!

I have been 'guilty' of most of the mistakes you mention, but as others have said in their comments, if you can glean just a few bits of information from the different things you buy or subscribe to, it may be worth it. I have certainly used bits of information from each of the things I have bought and the whole lot has added up to a wealth of knowledge that is completely different from any one else's in the world! it is sometimes quite surprising that I'm working on a project and come across a problem. Then a little 'ping' goes off in my brain and a suggestion from something quite unrelated shows a way to solve the problem. So, you see, all the so called 'wasted money' may not have such a waste after all. What I'm trying to say is that you must take something of value from everything you see.

But I think as long as you have just 1 of those product you bought in good use RIGHT NOW then there is no harm in putting some projects on the back burner - so long as you pick them up later and put to good use. There is a LOT of good information out there and chances are, if you've placed it on the shelf, it'll be there when you get to it. I have several projects on the go right now, and even though I may be spreading myself a little thin right now, as I dissect the products I do have slowly but surely, I get loads of value and I'm learning TONS. So don't worry if you haven't gotten to it yet, just make the commitment to yourself to get to when you can - and DO NOT buy to many more in the meantime unless you KNOW it's a good one (like Mark Ling's Affiloblueprint product - this is gold - I'm not an affiliate but I should be...hmmm (...time elapse... I just went and got an affiliate link, I don't mind but if you're feeling kind and this product speaks to you, you can purchase through my link http://www.affilorama.com/?aff=dogbus) cheers guys and gals - thanks for readin'!

Thanks for that, I really enjoyed reading. Anyway, I for one have had enough experience in buying "make money online" products to know a thing or two about how to figure out if the product is any good. All points above are definitely ones to consider but I'll also add a couple more... If it doesn't have a FULL money back guarantee, forget about it! I have bought a couple $1997 products only to return them for various reasons. Not because they weren't who they said they were but because the products weren't doing what they promised to do - so many holes in the information they give. You usually get your money back without a hassle (though I have had one hassle that turned out fine in the end) Also, when you are watching a product launch and watching the videos they email you about their new product, just observe the 'guru' - how they act, how they talk, are they pushy, are they natural, are they nice, do they smile? Become a people observer and see if there personality clicks with you because if you buy their product, you're gonna have to hear a lot more from them in the future. Also, before you buy, get on their email subscribe list and read their emails, you'll soon learn what kind of a marketer and person they are.. Just a couple of tips from my own experience - hope it's useful :) Excellent topic! Thanks for that, I really enjoyed reading.

I first saw them a few years ago and I wasn't about to get cheated. Since I have done a lot of research on the subject and now I am selling them. But the key to getting people to trust you is to explain how they can download their ebooks. Alot of baby boomers are afraid to download anything unless you help them.

You mentioned Frank Kern and in Mass Contrl he mentions something interesting. He says that the mere act of buying information marketing products gives us that "hit" or that feeling of "making it" and that's why people buy the latest and greatest thing over and over gain. It's just a bad habit I think we were/are all product collectors at one stage. You mentioned Frank Kern and in Mass Contrl he mentions something interesting.

This Is simply not true. All the methods I have read have already been done, and the market Is flooding. The only way to make money online is by working hard and thinking outside of the box. Great stuff David. I hope other that are new to online marketing take heed. Most people like I did, though that by reading ebooks they would soon stumble across their millions online.

One of the best things to do is a couple of times a year, instead of buying more products, go through your hard drive and read and use the stuff you already bought. It it's any good, use it. It not, delete it. And just because something is on sale doesn't mean you have to buy it. You may be better off paying full price for the stuff you will actually use, when you're ready to really use it. “Collecting” IM products is a habit I have.
