I’m not sure how it started, but these last few days I’ve been going from one "make money online" site to another, subscribing to newsletters and downloading a few dozen free ebooks. I’ve got so many now that I don’t know where to start reading them!
I’ve also found quite a few offers for courses or software to make money online with affiliate marketing and niche stores, and they look so good! But with my recent experiences (that’s not the only one, but I’m hoping the other will still work out before I post about it), I’m hesitating to enroll. It’s also difficult to find honest reviews on the internet – everyone is promoting the products because they want their cut of affiliate sales!
The thing is, the 2 offers I’m most interested in are both on sales that are going to be ending soon (like in a few hours or less), and while I know many people say that and then don’t actually put the prices up, these 2 seem to have a solid reputation, and so will probably keep their word.
I’ve decided to wait until my parents come home and talk it over with them; after all, if I do decide to go for it, it will be their money I’ll be spending! 
And if the offers aren’t available anymore by the time they get home, then it just wasn’t meant to be.
Either way, I think it’s a good idea to learn more about affiliate marketing and niche stores, and I’ve downloaded a lot of ebooks on these subjects now. If I find any good ones, I’ll let you all know!
