Question Affiliate Site Review Please!!!

I''m new to this and have signed up for an affiliate site. My site is www.ezinfobrokers.com. I'm just getting into this and am trying different marketing methods, but I'm confused. Any suggestions? Thanks!

OK here we go (again)
Sorry buyt you REALLY aren't going to like what I have to say.
HOWEVER if you listen I can save you lots of time and heartache!

Your site looks good. However you are making the #1 biggest mistake most newbies make! You are a NEWBIE trying to sell stuff to other NEWBIES.
Trying to sell info marketing and Internet marketing and make moeny from home products is ONE OF THE HARDEST PLACES TO START!

How can a newbie expect to compete in this over-saturated market?
In Google there are 4,800,000 competing pages for Earn Income From Home!
How will anyone find your site and why should they buy from you?

Plus if you are a newbie, can you really say the following quote off your site is true???

"With so many work at home opportunities how do you know which ones are legit? We have literally tested hundreds of the top rated work at home programs. After doing a 6 month test on over 100 programs we came to the conclusion that the three products listed above offer the best overall value to you "the user"."

And what about this at the very top of your site??? "The key to making money online is knowing how and where to start. Without the right starting point you will waste precious time and a ton of money. The following products guarantee your online success."

NO they don't guarantee success and IF they are so great how come you aren't rich yet??????????????? If you are a newbie how do you even know these programs are any good????????

Get real - speak the truth and think about your visitors. Would you want some newbie selling you stuff based on untrue info they didn't even know anything about? No!

So take a step back. Start over. Read the newbie forum. Read some of the reviews in this section where we tell other affiliates how to start. You need to find a smaller less competitive niche. Read the niche forum and then deicde where to start.

If you stay on the path you are on you will wind up like most newbie affiliates. You'll quit and say affiliate marketing does not work. Like any new business unless you have tons of money, you need to start small, learn the ropes and build up from there.

Default Thanks!

Linda,

Thanks for being so frank! I will follow your advice and start small. You are right about the site, but alas, I was ****ed in by the "experts"...Time to start building for myself instead of looking for a quick fix...

William

Hi William,

Thanks for taking my frank comments, which verged on ranting so well.
I did not mean to sound like I was criticising you. Like I said your site looked fine. And really what you did, is SO easy to do and looks like a great way to start because "they" lead you in that direction.

It's the gurus and people that try to take newbies for a ride that I get frustrated with.

I am not trying to be bias or something but, Linda has point...

On the lighter side, your site looks pretty well..
