Differences of opinion.


By Stuart Reid


Some net `gurus` will tell you one thing only to be shouted down

by the next. Who do you listen to?


Yourself!


You'll only ever truly understand something if you try it

yourself. If it doesn't work - then fair enough but at least you

had a go. If you listned to everything that came your way then

you'd never get anything done. Don't wait until you know

everything to start. Because you never will.


The truth is always at some point between two opinions. Some

people will tell you that free traffic is useless, for example.

Some swear by it. The truth is it CAN work, but it takes a lot

of it. Be aware of hidden agendas! Is the person promoting this

Free Traffic an affiliate of it? Don't throw it away if he is,

because he could be genuinely happy with the service and WANT to

promote it. But take what he says with a pinch of salt until you

try it.


Is it worth your time spending hours optimising your pages for

search engines? Again, some will swear by this. Other don't. The

truth? Well, in my opinion it is worth it BUT not to the expense

of other avenues of promotion. With pay-per-click engines

becoming the norm engine-friendly pages are not as important as

they used to be.


What about certain programs? I'll take one of the ones I promote.

Club Midas. I believe in this because the business model is

sound and it offers a lot for the money. I am of course also

promoting it for my own ends. So do you believe me? I don't know,

but I'd at least want you to try it out. Then you can make your

own mind up. By the way, the link for Club Midas is at my site

:-).


All this is a skill you'll develop. That of seeking out

promising new tools and programs and experimenting by yourself.

The main tool of your trade is the humble e-mail. Subscribe to

some newsletters and you'll soon have offers coming your way.

Read these e-mails, don't delete them or send them to a junk

account and you too can seek out the gold amongst the dross!
