As I begin my review of

Honest Riches: Your Complete Internet Marketing Guide, the first thing I have to tell you is: What I have learned in this book is giving me the confidence and know-how to really believe I can create a legitimate work at home opportunity. When this really began clicking for me was when I realized the chapter I was reading at that moment was truly addressing and answering some questions that had been leaving me feeling fuzzy and muddled about what IM (Internet Marketing) was and how I could make money from it. You see, that is why Honest Riches is a book I can truly recommend, because it has value. It has know-how. It has substance that you can read, understand and apply to create income streams online.

You don't have to be a computer guru or even have prior experience with Internet Marketing. In fact, you don't even have to know what Internet Marketing is!

Holly Mann's Honest Riches will teach you all you need to know to get started. If you are new to Internet Marketing, maybe you are wondering if Honest Richeswill be too technical or complicated for you to benefit from. Well, let me tell a tale on myself about how un-savvy I was before reading Holly Mann's book. Now, I'm not saying I was a newbie to computers, e-mail or searching online. Sure, I even shopped online and had been involved with seeing a website being designed and built for a prior business. But, that's about it. When I first saw the letters "IM" I thought it meant "Instant Messaging". Ah, but times have changed, and there's a new term in town: Internet Marketing. IM wasn't the only term I had no idea of the meaning. In fact, here is a partial list of terms that were foreign to me:

• Important Note: These terms were foreign to me (past tense), but not anymore!

Affiliate Network, Link Cloaking, Key Words, Niches, Search Engines, Forums, Social Networks, Blogs, Web 2.0, Squidoo, HubPages, Auto Responder, Opt-Ins,Monetization, CMS (Content Management Systems), HTML, PHP, Website Design Lingo, SEO (Search Engine Optimization), RSS Feeds, Back link

Now, not only do I have an understanding of what these terms represent and mean, but by applying what Holly Mann teaches in Honest Riches, I have created my own Web presence through HubPages, created blogs through Blogger.com, have begun writing product reviews and building my affiliate sales business. In the near future I excitedly look forward to applying all that I am learning towards developing my ultimate niche product site, which will allow me to achieve the goal of promoting something that is very important to me. Without the benefit of learning Internet Marketing through Honest Riches, I am not sure that I would ever have known how to achieve this goal. All this from a person who in June 2008 had never believed she would ever understand how to make an income from the Internet.

Another reason I can honestly recommend Holly Mann's Honest Riches is that you get so much more than just the e-book. (Oh, and if there are updates to the book, they will be free! Yes, a lifetime of free updates! Just keep your receipt for proof of purchase.) Also, you have an active forum where you can post questions, get answers, read about what other people are doing, learn and be encouraged. The forum has come in handy for me with the few times that Holly's book didn't give me as much detail as I needed to fully understand something. Your experience continues with access to Holly's own personal blog. (Yes, it's really written by her!) It's amazing- Knowledge, Community and Ongoing Communicationwith Holly Mann. I am so glad that I purchased Holly's book. With all the programs, products and promises out there on the Internet, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I made the right decision when I decided on Honest Riches.

It's funny, but each night I stay up later and later, each morning I'm a bit more tired, but it's not because I'm working myself to the bone...it's because I am really enjoying experimenting with everything I've learned and it's difficult when to say, enough for tonight! (Hmmm....I seem to have the same problem with chocolates!)

If you are curious about the author Holly Mann, or even if you just want to learn more about her book, you can find the official Honest Riches site here. 

 I really think you will find the mystery of internet marketing and finding honest ways to make money online become clear, understandable and before you know it, FUN!

If you still want to think things over, maybe do a little more research, that is completely understandable.  (Remember that you get a lifetime of free updates, after purchase and Holly gives you a money back guarantee!)

After I completed my study of Honest Riches and began putting into action some of what I had learned, I came across some incredible free e-books. Just as i did before, I was able to download the books directly to my computer then print them out, for ease of use when studying.

The topics of the e-books are more specific to one area of study and are much more detailed. When I first read of the title, "Masters Affiliates Course" I wondered if it meant that you already had to be a highly experienced affiliate, but soon realized the course means that once you complete it, you will have "mastered" the subject!

In addition to the e-books, like The Affiliates Masters Course, Make Your Words Sell, Make Your Site Sell, and more, the company has an incredible website building program. The step by step outline not only helps you build the site by teaching you how to pick your niche, write key-word rich content and target your market, but continues on to guide you in gaining top placement with the search engines. This link to SBI!'s site will give you information on their website building program on the top half of the page, and all of the free e-books you can choose from to download on the bottom half of the page.

You know how it's easy to be a student but more difficult to put into action all that you learn? Well, I have found that combining what I've learned with Honest Riches with all that I have learned through SBI! or more formally Site Build It!, that the transition from "learning" to "doing" has been a lot smoother.

There are many different things you can do to make honest income online.  No matter which one, or two or three (and so on) you choose, it will take time, dedication and work.  So, my advice is to choose something you enjoy and stick with it until you make that break through.
