| I didn’t know exactly where to begin. | | | | Again, it had to be the right thing. |
| I had several criteria in mind. I wanted more than | | | | 1. Low cost |
| just a few extra bucks. | | | | 2. A great product |
| I wanted to do something which would earn an | | | | 3. Good profit |
| online income. Here are the criteria that I came up | | | | I joined several during the next few months, but I |

| really just wanted to earna decent income. | | | | I checked out the website. It seemed too good |
| Just the right thing. | | | | to be true. |
| But what was the right thing for me? | | | | I was leary of anything that offered so much for |
