A Dirty Secret Marketers Don't Want You to Know by James Allen

Seems everyday there's a new info-product or software launch in the Internet Marketing world. The high-pitch hard-sell salesletters practically screaming at you not to miss out on the latest and greatest program or marketing secret.

This can be hell - I know - I used to max out my credit cards on a regular basis, making purchase after purchase because I didn't want to get left behind.

Of course, when it came time to pay my bills, I had to face the painful facts. Not only had I spent more money than I had made, but I had also wasted so much time buying and downloading, I never really got around to reading and applying the information I had blown my credit on.

Well, I wasn't raised to be in debt, so I smartened up real fast and stopped cold turkey making these sorts of impulse purchases. I gave the credit card to the wife and just asked her to make sure the internet service was paid for every month.

Meanwhile though, the offers from the top marketers kept pouring into my inbox, all kinds of great new programs just waiting to let their secrets be known, if only I'd "Buy Now".

I wasn't going to take it lying down though - so I started to do some researching, some real deep digging in fact. And it wasn't long before I struck gold.

You see, I discovered the REAL secret most internet marketers don't want you to know. And I'm going to tell it to you right now:

"Almost every software program being marketed for ridiculous prices has a FREE equivalent available. In fact, often the programs being marketed are based directly on readily available 'free-to-download-and-use' open source programs that work just as well - and sometimes better than the version being sold. You just have to know where to look."

Read that one more time.

I'm not talking about simple programs either. Let's just say if you think the only way you're going to get your hands on the latest automatic website generating software, or the newest program to set up and manage a large network of blogs fast is by shelling-out $100, $200, or more - you're 'shopping' in the wrong place. You can find absolutely free versions of these programs online if you are prepared to research a bit. And that's just for starters...

I am a total tightwad now. In fact I almost never make internet marketing purchases anymore. Yet I am still able to satisfy my lust for the latest internet marketing secret techniques and the software created to exploit them. Best part is, now that I've stopped burning out my credit card, I can actually show a profit at the end of the month for my efforts. I hope you will too!
