Are you looking for a way to make money online but don’t know where to start? I understand. I wasted a lot of time and money buying courses that promised the world. But did not deliver on results.

Have you heard of Easy Paycheck Formula by Sara Young? This easy to follow course has 12 videos and an ebook that is simple to follow. Created by stay-at-home Mom Sara Young, it shows you in short 10 minute videos how to setup your first money making “campaign” using resources that are readily available for free! This is the system that Sara has herself been using for the last few years to make a full-time income for herself and her family. You probably understand that a Mom of 6 probably does not have a lot of time. That is why Easy Paycheck Formula is so great, because you only need to spend an hour a day to start making money.

She doesn’t pretend to be a “guru.” She is just a regular housewife that found a way to make a living online with affiliate marketing.

Some of the things you may be looking for in a course are:

Real results.

Easy to use.

No need for technical knowledge.

Using FREE resources.

No get-rich-quick promises.

60 money back guarantee.

Low investment.

Course creator that is contactable.

Then look no further, because Easy Paycheck Formula by Sara Young has all that as well as content that works!

Another internet marketer that has done well for herself as an affiliate marketer is PotPieGirl, and she endorses this course. Check out the sales page and you will see her testimonial.

Still not sure. Why not try out the course and see for yourself?

Think only large companies with big websites (and bigger budgets) can afford to do usability testing? Think again. You may not be able to afford eyetracking software, but putting together a usability study that will point out areas that need improvement isn’t as hard as you might think.

According to Patrick Neeman (http://blog.onlinemarketingconnect.com/frame/index.php?url=http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UsabilityCounts/~3/UZME24sLw9E/), there are four distinct steps to great usability testing on the cheap: writing the test, finding participants, running the tests, and analyzing the results. Each of these can be further broken down by the things you need to keep in mind as you go through them. So let’s take them one at a time.

The first step is to write up the tasks you’re going to test. Neeman recommends coming up with five tasks that you’ll want site users to perform. Don’t make it too easy or too hard; each task should take around six to nine clicks. While you won’t be testing every task with every one of your participants, it helps to have a variety of scenarios.

Notice I used the word “scenario” here. You’re not going to tell your user exactly what to do, since the point is to see if they can figure it out on their own. Say your website provides virtual stores for artists to sell their goods. You might tell your tester that she is a new artist specializing in glassware, and needs to sign on and build a new shop. Or perhaps she just completed several projects, and needs to upload images and post descriptions and prices. Maybe she just completed a commissioned work, and needs to post the images to your site in such a way that only the buyer can see them. I’m sure you get the idea.

By the way, as you’re writing these scenarios, keep in mind that you’re testing the clarity of the website’s language, in addition to the ease or difficulty with which site users perform various tasks. So use terms like “sign in” if your site says “log in” and “search your hard drive” if your site uses “browse.” In other words, use generic terms, not ones that are specific to your site.

After you’ve finished your creative writing, consider the parts of the site you’re testing, and think about coming up with related questions. After all, your users will be interacting with the screens trying to get things done; since you have them there, why not see if they have some specific, helpful ideas? Use leading questions that can’t be answered simply with a “yes” or “no.” I’ll mention the importance of asking questions again later, when I discuss the actual testing.
