If I could have a nickel for every self-proclaimed Internet Guru out there proclaiming their “secret to Internet millions” system, well, I would be a millionaire myself. There are always new “experts” coming on the scene, claiming to have the best system for making millions on the Internet. Most of them are rehashed garbage, created in a weekend and slickly marketed.

With the economy in shambles, more are showing up every day. Why? Because people are looking for an alternative to the 9-5 grind and financial struggles. The problem those of us who aren’t Internet experts have is, who do we trust?

There is no question that the Internet offers unprecedented opportunities to make money. By working from home and building an online business, individuals can create exceptional incomes while having more flexibility and independence in their lives.

If you are like me, finding an Internet expert that you feel you can trust enough to give them your money is a daunting task. So many self-proclaimed Internet Guru’s are no better than snake oil salesmen of old. Many just rehash old ideas, repackage it and promote it as the next best thing. They take pictures in front of expensive cars and huge mansions, claiming they are making as much as six-figures (or more) every month.

If you struggle to trust these people, you are not alone. I always question why they are selling their systems if they make so much money. And if it really works, why aren’t thousands of people doing it? Well, the answer is usually the same…it doesn’t work. Buying their ebooks and training systems is like throwing your money away.

However, not all Guru’s are sharks. There are a few out there who are honest, trustworthy, provide quality information for building an online business, and they do it with integrity. These few really do make money online, not just selling their systems to Internet newbies. They actually practice what they preach.

James Martell is at the top of the list. Not only does he work the business the same way he teaches you to do it, but he has been doing it for 10 years. James is no flash in the pan Guru.

Not only has James been an innovative marketer for 10 years, but he has been teaching others to do the same thing for eight years. His 2002 ebook titled “Affiliate Marketers Handbook” changed the face of affiliate marketing and placed him as a true expert. This ebook, for years considered the most complete affiliate marketing training guide, has helped people of all walks of life build successful affiliate marketing careers.

The huge success of his book led to many other training programs, including the first and longest running industry podcast, the “Affiliate Buzz”, as well as James’ “Coffee Talk” where he talks with other Internet marketing experts. He also occasionally holds online BootCamp seminars for a more hands-on training program that have become hugely very popular.

Isn’t it frustrating to read the long sales letters from the most recent “hot” guru only to realize that when you get to the end you still don’t even know what the “system” really is? You have to actually give them money before you can even hear what you will actually be doing.

James doesn’t work that way. Not only is he straight forward about what you will be doing – building affiliate sites – you can actually check out some of his personal websites that he has built and that he actually makes money from.

James works out of his home in British Columbia, Canada with his wife Arlene. They started their Internet careers like many of us are trying to do. They wanted to create a business that would provide great income while working together from home. They were lucky to have a friend show them how in 1999. Over the next 10 years they continued to learn the ins-and-outs of affiliate marketing, building on their knowledge and helping others to do the same.

Recently, James was considering updating the Affiliate Marketers Handbook, creating a new fourth addition to include all the new information he had compiled on podcasting, list building, chat forums and other Web 2.0 strategies. However, after wrapping up his most recent 10-week online BootCamp, he asked his attendees what their preference would be – an updated Affiliate Marketers Handbook, or an expanded BootCamp that would cover all the latest techniques for building an affiliate marketing business.

The answer was overwhelmingly in favor of a new BootCamp. As a result, James developed the new SUPER BootCamp training program. Created over 8 months using live recorded online seminars with other attendees, this new program includes 26 information-packed 90-minute lessons. With over 40 hours of video, 60 hours of audio and 1200 pages of written material, this is quite possibly the most comprehensive affiliate marketing training program ever created.
