		<description>Kelly, I agree with you on creating your own product and I did, but I made it too broad and I just love writing articles.  The pure volume gets to you after awhile though, so when I begin to make money, I will look into outsourcing the writing.

		<description>Kelly,

I haven't come to your blog before, but decided to check out this post about articles after receiving your email yesterday.

I thought I should let you know that there is a big blue box ("Recent Readers") that pops up right over the text and makes it unreadable on my Firefox browser. Hope you can get this fixed soon.

		<description>I totally agree that this is a personal thing.  I'm hoping that I made it clear that if you are looking for 'more' than what article marketing can give you then you should be thinking about taking it up a step.

The most important thing if you do decide to create your own product is this .... make sure that it works!

I actually had a member ask me to promote their 'new marketing ebook' and when I asked for proof that it worked ... they replied that they hadn't actually tried it.

Don't automatically think that you need to be creating products around the internet marketing arena either.  Going for a niche is much easier to monetize.

		<description>Hi Kelly:
I agree, but you can always put your articles (that you love to write) into a product, thus getting the best of both worlds.
You can get articles done inexpensively at elance.com or you can get a product, either software or written product also.
I agree with Bruce that it is an individual thing, so the beginner is advised not to sweat it.

I love your blogs.</description>

		<description>Hi Kelly,
For the first time ever I have to somewhat disagree with you.  You are right that you leave money on the table by not having your own product, however, time equals money and that is a personal decision we all make.  For me, the time it takes to create, added to the time spent for customer service isn't worth the extra money. The time freedom is as important as the money freedom. As you alluded to in your email today.  Somethings are worth paying for.  I use Ankur (thanks to your recommendation Kelly) for my Squidoo lens, I also have another  gentleman that handles my Adwords at an extremely reasonably one-time cost just like Ankur does.  My Job??  I make friends with my affiliate customers and a good portion call me and I back-end them into my free Networking Co. Sometimes I do some advertising on my own, sometimes I don't. The bottom line is that I make a very good income and I have all the time to enjoy it.  What you recommend is right for a lot of people, for me, what it costs in time is not worth the additional income.
Keep up the good work Kelly, 99.9% of the time you are right on!</description>
