OK, it has been a little over a week now since my last post. Let me update you on my progress. Unfortunately, I have not yet made any money. I ran my CarbonCopyPro ads for one day through Google Adwords and I got some leads. But no one bought the product! But I am undaunted. I have been drowning myself in information and learning how to promote my site for free (since I've already spent too much money and can't afford to spend any more).
On a positive note, I am learning ALOT. I never knew how much was involved with Internet Marketing until I started on this journey. So, I'm kinda looking at the money I invested (over $3K) as my tuition for this crash course in Internet Marketing. And even though $3K seems like a lot of money, it's really not bad at all to start a real business. I mean, you need about $1 Million to open a McDonalds and that's just one store. Also my previous experiences with home businesses have shown me that you cannot start a business for $30-$50 dollars, like are advertised all over the web, and make money. I've spent even up to $600 on a work at home program before and it's always the same thing. You get an instant download or even a package that comes to your house telling you what to do. The only thing is, they never tell you HOW to do it. And you don't have any real guidance when you get lost. No personal mentor, no e-mail support...nothing! I mean, not to toot my own horn but I'm pretty smart being an MBA and all but if you tell me to build a house for example, I'm going to fail miserably unless you show me how to do it. At the very least there is person guidance with CarbonCopy Pro.
However, I am starting to hate the little arrogant douche bags that run this company. They are just so frigging obnoxious. I'm talking about Jay Kubassek and Aaron Parkinson. Click here to see them http://100millionairesplusyou.com/ Put in your e-mail address and listen to some of the training calls they conduct. These guys are really interesting. Even my personal mentor, Michael Force, is an arrogant cuss. BUT, these guys have made millions of dollars so I'm still very willing to listen to them and learn from them. And to the company's credit, my mentor is available to talk to me daily if I need it. Honestly, their attitudes make me more determined to prove that I belong up there with them. I'm going to work my butt off and when I meet these guys at conferences, I'm going to tell them exactly how they motivated me.
OK, I'm out until the next update. Keep pursuing your dreams. I KNOW I WILL!!! Just a footnote guys...If you decide to also become a CarbonCopyPro entrepreneur, I ask that you please do it through my own personal website http://100millionairesplusyou.com/ That way, I will become your personal mentor. So everything I learn, I will share with you!!! And since I'm not rich enough to be arrogant yet, the experience should be quite pleasant!

Just a little background
Hello to all of my fellow entrepreneurs! I decided to start this blog because I am sure that there are many people out there just like me who want to run a home business that makes real money. Honestly, I haven't found one yet but I am convinced that there must be something real out there so I haven't given up. It started when I was about 24 years old that I got the work at home bug. I have always hated routine and I have a general disdane for authority. Therefore, pretty much every job I had, I quit within a year because I was just tired of the same old thing and always being told what to do. Ironically, I have only been fired once and that was because I had a rocky pregnancy and couldn't go to work. So, I am a very good worker and since I had to pay bills like everyone else, I'd soon get another job and start the process all over again. I have never counted all the jobs that I've had because I probably can't remember them all but I am now 33 with what most people would consider a "good" job. I'm located in eastern North Carolina and I make about 48K per year in a corporate job. For this area, that's pretty good BUT I'm still looking for an out.
Anyway, I've also tried a lot of work at home jobs. I've assembled things, sent chain letters, stuffed envelopes, trained to be a medical transcriptionist, sold insurance, taken surveys, mystery shopped, sold herbal supplements, blogged, written ad copy, and even pyramid schemed. Needless to say I've spent thousands of dollars over the years and although I did make some money, none of these made me enough money to live on.
But I am undaunted. I know that there are people making money from home every day and I am determined to be one of them. My latest venture is Carbon Copy Pro. I've been doing this for about 2 weeks now and I must say it seems like a sound business. They have already given me my own website. Check it out at http://100Millionairesplusyou.com/ The training is also really good. I've run into programs before that tell you what to do but don't tell you HOW to do it. This one is not like that. They have a call center you can call if you need help and you are assigned a personal mentor that you can also call or e-mail. From what I know already this is definitely not a get rich quick scheme. It does take work and I've done quite a bit so far. But with all of my previous tries and failures, most of the work is familiar. Also, it seems that if you are willing to work hard, you will be handsomely rewarded for your efforts. For me this one is different too because I actually invested quite a bit of money in this business. That's what it is...a business. And with any business "It takes money to make money!" I have financed it so far with my "good" corporate job and my credit (I only needed about $2500). But I'm going to work hard and keep you guys updated on my progress. So far, I am feeling very positive about my decision. If you are looking for a home business too, click on my website http://100Millionairesplusyou.com
Who knows, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for and it never hurts to look.
