Hi - My name is Mark McGinnis. My wife Kim and I work together (honest!) each and everyday from our home in Erie Colorado. We have been entrepreneurs for many years now - but have been obsessed with having a totally passive income lifestyle for the last 3 years. So we proceeded to make every possible mistake possible and spent way more money than I wish to admit - chasing this elusive dream. We checked out everyone's "formula" for success and, I'm sorry to say, the were all bogus. There were no get rich quick schemes that worked and it became evident that you can't get something for nothing in this world.
But our story did not end there. We actually have a happy ending - or beginning I guess is a better way to phrase it. Kim and I became quite proficient at building websites - mainly business sites, that could not only get high amounts of traffic - they also made money. People are now coming to us that are anywhere from 20 to 70 years old, rich and poor, smart and - well you get the idea....
If you are looking to start a business that will allow you to still have a life and free time, with money to pay all your bills - please know that the steps we suggest you take are VERY specific. We are not experts on anything else but building online success specifically e-commerce stores. We also are quite good at building income from affiliates and AdSense - anything else we are probably clueless about.
Our latest site is http://www.manifest-passive-income.com. This site is only 2.5 months old and already has an Alexa ranking of around 650K - we typically improve by a million or so each week. That translates to a lot of traffic that we can then send onto our largest e-commerce store http://www.aZenGift.com.
That's about it - if you are looking for a real "tried and true" methodology to making money online (for life) and you don't expect it to be easy or free - please talk to us - we love to help other business people on our same path.
Mark
