Thoughts? You want thoughts, you got em.

My perspective is; 40 years means you have TONS of stored value in your experience, it is an evergreen huge market with continuous parade of life...yet, you seem to have found several things totally unrelated. Why? Now this is the important part, if you choose to answer and share...I'll give you some insights.

Who was the first course? When? And how did you learn about it, where did you find out about it? Then, what was the second and same questions.

Then, why 3 more? I have anecdotal proof that first GURU contact will determine whether one has rapid success or languishes...most languish.

In using search engines, I see that almost all of these have scores of REVIEW sites, and it is SOP in IM to tell affiliates to build review sites to tout your affiliate programs.

Do a search, see maybe 48 out of the first 50 all tell how great JT's AMBASSADOR program, and all with links to buy. See? The only real review gave it a C, at stoppingscams dot com, it wasn't called a scam, but a C grade isn't where I would start.

It would appear the secret to success with that one is set up a review site and tell everyone how great the course is.

Cash Catalyst is also highly recommended by its affiliates. Again, most review sites sing high praise. Although some on Reddit had some disparaging comments, and what on Reddit doesn't?

Of the five I am familiar with Warrior Kevin Fahey and also the KDP program. It appears you have bought your way to the state of confusion. Aside from these affiliate ideas, what else have you explored?

See, what most of these type of courses leave out is the EXPENSE of customer acquisition, which a mortgage guy would be aware of. Most of the ones you selected need some PAID ads to generate traffic, and that, as thousands of other affiliates compete for the newbies, so you have to be able to create ADS that work, and that learning curve has a pretty high cost to it.

What they all share is the FAST/EASY anyone, even a beginner, CAN do it approach...all sold as a quick solution to get you started making money quickly with your IM. ALL of these programs rely on heavy handed copywriting, selling the hope/dream.

The reason I ask for information as to WHERE and WHEN you came across these, gives insight into how they market, YOU were in the target group, you, a fish in their pond and it seems some hooked you in. This info alone, will give you insight into what YOU would be doing to sell their products.

Now there are other options, and maybe of all of the courses you mentioned, a deeper look at KDP, and information products. Sure there are a million and one reports and books and courses about the mortgage industry, but you have valuable experience if you learn how to mine it.

Selling what you already have is, in my opinion, better than selling what somebody else has.

With affiliates, there is a time/money ratio, if you have the money you can expedite success by buying ads, without money, it will take TIME to build your audience.

You are seeking something else.

But it looks like you went on a how to make money online search as your first step, correct me if I'm wrong, only going off of the courses you listed here. I like self assessment as a first step, which may lead to discovery of valuable assets, like your 40 years of knowledge, for example.

Along with the mortgage industry, what hobbies or interest do you have? Where do you live (often hidden value)? What do you want, other than just making money online? I gather you are not the young person...so your age plays a part in your selection.

Thanks for sharing with us, what you've been doing, I believe you will find some useful information here as you get to know the WF better (archives especially) and we get to know you.

Let us DEconfuse you if we can. Keep it simple.

You need SOMETHING TO SELL.
Someone who wants to buy and the money and means to do so.
An INTERSECTION of those two things. Everything else is all related to those.

I can imagine that it's difficult when your industry collapses
and you have less income, you are probably desperate, and
that is why you bought into these programs.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to learn but you have
to bear in mind that most of those people are out to make
money, they won't be of much use or assistance because
they don't care and the things they supposedly teach are
probably useless as well.

The first thing you should do is educate yourself about the
fundamentals of online business such as having websites,
using social media, and the various methods that would
interest you and things you know how to do.

I would suggest promoting mortgage, insurance, and other
financial affiliate products. You can search online for those
as I cannot post links to those here.

I also recommend reading about passive income. You will
probably need to do active work right now, but you always
want to have passive things in the background even if they
only generate a couple hundred dollars a month.

Passive income can be attained through publishing various
content, selling digital downloads, having print on demand
shops, affiliate marketing, and anything that doesn't require
much effort after you have set them all up.

There are several marketplaces and platforms that get good
traffic where you can sell things or push affiliate offers, you
can research and decide what is best for you.

And I highly recommend that you utilize all the various A.I.
systems that are available now. They can educate, assist,
develop, and produce things that will generate income.
