Hello all and Happy Friday to ya!
I received my training material on Tuesday via UPS. I was really surprised. I didn't expect it until Wednesday or Thursday. I dug right in, so excited that it came 'early'. Remember, I'd ordered it Friday and it was a holiday weekend.
The training material is great. Mostly videos but also a lot of html text. I immediately signed into the website with my new password and have since watched and read a lot of them there. Its really handy to have that up and watch the videos , follow the steps in them and be able to launch additional web browser windows. This is often difficult to do from the CD unless you enable some settings in your browser to allow content to launch from a CD. I haven't tried copying it to my hard drive because its just more convenient to go to the website.
I've followed along in level 1 and will be going through it a second time. I want to make sure that I grasp everything completely before I head to level 2. I have a busy day today so I can't stay long. I'm getting some studying in before I run some errands and then I'm heading out for the weekend.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I'll be blogging with you soon!
Take care,
Tim

Do your homework...
Hello all.
**I need to preface this by saying that I do not have my training material yet (although I did receive several order confirmation and informational e-mails - not spam) and that I'm completely open to different online business ideas or models. Once I have the training material I will be focusing the content of this blog on that training and how it works for me (again, without giving away "secrets"). I'm still in the curiosity, research and discovery stage, at this point. So, if I happen to mention something that strikes a nerve with someone on the contents of the training material, its purely coincidental.
My initial post was rather long winded but I just wanted to let you know that I'm just a regular guy that is looking at an alternative, or secondary, means of income. I also wanted to stress that I hope to get this business started while I'm looking for employment, not in lieu of regular employment. I realize that this business could take months or maybe even years to really get going and be lucrative. And, it might not even be my sole Internet based business venture. I'll do my best to separate any additional ventures in appropriate blogs.
If you haven't already, I would suggest going to youtube.com and doing searches for eCurrency Arbitrage, AdSense Arbitrage or even Affiliate Marketing. There are some great videos out there that really help explain online businesses as a whole and might give you a better idea of how much can be involved in some online businesses. One in particular is by "SeanKells" and shows screenshots of just how much information that is in each level of the eCurrency Arbitrage training. Its called "Is eCurrency Arbitrage a scan? Nope!".
I also suggest searching for Lisa3876. I just stumbled across her videos and have watched quite a few. She has some fantastic, down to earth, videos out there that may answer questions you hadn't thought to ask yet or, better yet, generate even more questions. I think she said she created her first website about about 11 years ago and will be the first to tell you, and tell you, and tell you (hehe) that there are NO get-rich-quick legitimate businesses to start. They just don't exist.
There are also great forums out there that might help answer questions for you. If you google arbitrage you will be inundated with information but if you sift through some you might find quite a few useful websites. One website that I found that seemed to spell out Arbitrage and specifically AdSense Arbitrage is http://www.wolf-howl.com/sem/adsense-arbitrage-tips-tricks-secrets/ . I noticed that the comments were a bit dated (three years ago) but, he has a lot of great information and also links to dig deeper into AdSense Arbitrage.
Again, I don't have the training material yet so I'm just posting my research as I have found it thus far. I hope some of this has helped and please feel free to post comments and I'll try to answer them as best I can and we can learn and profit from each others insight.
Best of luck in your ad-ventures and blog with you soon.
PS. I have requested permission to post the address of another blogger that has already worked with eCurrency Arbitrage for several months and has a wonderful blog about her experiences. I hope to share that address with you on my next post. :-)

The wait.... Meanwhile, a little bit about me.
I have been working on computers for quite a long time and had even tried a couple of home based businesses. None of them seemed to work for me, and I probably wouldn't be writing this blog if they did. Not so much for lack of effort but rather experience, knowledge and circumstance.
I really enjoy helping people, teaching them new things and also working on computers. So, I decided to go back to school and get a degree in Computer Network Systems. I landed a good part-time job while I was still in school, was hired on full-time after graduating but after years of dedication to this company, I (like so many others) was also part of the first wave of layoffs.
After a few months of job searching and considering a relocation, I decided to stay here and get a computer certification. It did open a few doors but then my father's cancer came back (after nearly 6 years in remission) and I cared for him until he passed away recently.
I had looked into telecommuting or starting a home based business so I could care for my father and still make an income. I am so sceptical of some of these 'business opportunities' as being scams that I just hadn't found anything that seemed to be legitimate. I'm sure some of you are reading this wondering the same thing.
After a lot of research and viewing other great blogs and forums, I decided to order the eCurrency Arbitrage training program yesterday. With today being a holiday I really don't expect it until the middle of next week. One thing I was hoping for was instant online access to get started immediately. I guess I'll have to wait a bit to start my new business. Notice that I do say business. I have no disillusions that this is going to be any sort of 'get-rich-quick' scheme but rather an investment that will require a lot of time studying, hard work and 'sweat equity'. If it didn't require those things then I would wonder if it was a scam.
My intent here is to be as honest and forthcoming as I can be about my experiences with this product (and the business as a whole), without crossing any lines and exposing any 'secrets'. And also to try to answer any questions and hear about your experiences, both good and bad.
I want to wish all of you the very best of luck in your endeavors and I hope this little blog will help you in some way. If nothing else, I hope it helps you make an educated decision on your potential investment.
PS. I do not tolerate cursing, flaming or bashing of any sort. So, if you decide to act juvenile I'll simply remove your post(s).
