Let me jump in and play moderator here a little bit.
Jenn, Thank you so much for being willing to share your experiences and infectious enthusiasm. I know many families are looking for ways to boost their finances in this tough economy. Discussions like this help everyone to think creatively about things they could do with the skills they have, even if it’s something totally different from what you’re doing.
Thanks also to others who have jumped in and shared their experiences and cautions. There’s a lot we can all learn from each other, especially from those who’ve been down some of these roads before.
Being successful in any business venture usually comes down to understanding your audience and market, creativity, personal skills, timing, and drive. It’s entirely possible for one person to fail in a particular arena while someone else profits greatly in the same space.
For example, Bookworm shared from experience how difficult it is to do well selling books. It’s entirely possible that Jenn has some unique skills or understanding that will allow her to thrive rather than struggle. On the other hand, Jenn said she is just getting started so she’s speaking from her enthusiasm and learning that hasn’t been fully put to the test yet. Only time and experience will tell the full story.
I do want to offer some insight into why some of the responses may have seemed a little spirited. Jenn, the link you posted to the free e-book may or may not have been good information. Unfortunately, it is being offered by someone who is following some get rich on the internet program. He purchased the template with the picture of the money flying around. He filled in the sensational headline. He’s following the formula to capture your e-mail address in order to get the free e-book. You’ll most likely get a series of automated follow-up e-mails (I’d guess 7 of them). It will eventually lead to a pitch for you to buy a course or join an exclusive club with a monthly fee to keep getting his great information. The sell page will most likely be a with a super long letter with a compelling story, lots of testimonials, fake yellow highlighting, important red text, and a series of bonuses if you buy in time. 
I’ve seen hundreds of these before and they all reek of a get-rich-quick scheme. I think that’s why some of the cautions have been strong.
But here’s the important part. I encourage everyone not to read more into the responses than what is there, and please don’t be easily offended. It’s harder when these discussion can’t take place face to face. Take a deep breath, relax, and use a few smilies in your posts.
There is much value in kicking a discussion around in the arena of ideas and learning from it.
Jenn (and others), I wish you the best in your endeavors. Please do keep sharing your experiences and let us all know how this goes for you.
Oh, and here are a few more smilies for all of you.
