Nah, I don’t mind sharing. With the arbitrage I’ve not really gone for big ticket items (such as $800 cameras). Instead I’ve concentrated on accessories for iPods and iPhones. The profits aren’t as high, but they’re steady.

As for being a newbie — in a way I envy you. You have an opportunity to structure an online business from the ground up and, if the Shoemoney System is as good as Jeremy says it is, you’ll be doing things the right way from the beginning. Someone like myself, on the other hand, has generally had their fair share of failures, dead ends and wasted money.

Not that I feel that much of my money has been wasted, because I learned things along the way — often what NOT to do. Other people would surely see it as wasted though.

There’s also nothing wrong with failing every now and then — but if you can do things the right way from the start then you can save a heck of a lot of time!

It sounds weird, but don’t worry about creating websites just yet. Learn the core stuff first. That’s important. The websites will come later.

There’s a ton of money to be made out there — I mean I make money almost by default, and I’d make a heck of a lot more if I didn’t have sites which catered to tiny markets! However, those are the sites I like working on because that’s what I’m interested in, hobby wise. Plus for the first 8 or 9 years I was building sites ALL they ever did was COST me money, so I’m glad I found a way to reverse that trend in 2005.

So keep plugging away at the Shoemoney System and you’ll be fine, I’m sure. Also keep in mind that Jeremy has almost as many haters as he has admirers, so take everything everyone has to say about the Shoemoney System with a grain of salt. After all it seems everyone has an agenda — whether it’s trolling, praising or commenting on forums or blogs to get you to click on their affiliate links!

Good luck!
