When I first heard about people making money online with Google adwords I was pretty skeptical. Actually, my parents told me about it and I couldn't believe they were interested in it because I thought it sounded like a scam or some stupid thing that never works.

However later that year I got interested, and signed up with Site Build It to learn about internet marketing and affiliate marketing. I spent about a year with Site Build It, but I never really got anywhere. I did learn the basics of marketing, but SBI takes a very indirect approach. There are definitely some more laser-targetted ways to earn money online, and there are a few programs that can expedite your learning process.

One program that I can definitely recommend is Profit Lance. Written by Michael Andrews, Profit Lance is a nuts and bolts education into the world of internet marketing, especially affiliate marketing in niches.

I recently wrote a Profit Lance review in which I discuss all the aspects of the program in detail. However, I'd like to point out that there are so many "make money online" programs out there that it can get very overwhelming. Many people never get anywhere because they're always buying another ebook that supposedly holds the secret to riches and fame.

Let me tell you: there's no "secret" formula. The "secret formula" that will have you earning money online is this: ACTION. That's right. Most people don't earn money online because they never pick a plan of action and go through with it.

The strength of Profit Lance is that it helps you take action by giving you detailed blueprints. The program also provides you with ready-made website pages so you can "sandbox" around and get your feet wet and see how this stuff works. Once you're ready to set up your own domain the program gives you some CSS templates to work with. Really, the strength of Profit Lance and the goal of Michael Andrews is to get you taking action.
