The Internet Gold Rush
When I first came online, like most online marketers, I began by blindly signing up for programs, believing promises, and hoping it would all work out.

I started with a complete "business in a box" package that included a beautiful web site, a full online catalog, along with full shopping cart and corporate offices to handle all the products for me - all I had to do was advertise it and the money would start rolling in. I thought it was a steal for only $30 per month...sound familiar?

The Problem
Now, what I needed was a site that would tell me all about advertising online and where to find the best and most cost-effective marketing sites, tools and services. But, in my search for internet advertising, I found myself signing up for program after program that also needed to be promoted in order to work for me.

So many of these did not work for me that I had to stop and take stock of my situation. I talked to other Internet marketers and discovered that most were in the same position. I also learned that some had spent hundreds, even thousands, of dollars in the hope of making money online, only to fail and become bitterly disappointed. This made me angry, especially because these people were just like me, working double time to make a better life for themselves and their families, but getting nowhere.

The ONE STOP Solution
Being on a very tight budget I finally decided to drop the business opportunity and concentrate on all of the free marketing programs I had joined.

I tried literally hundreds of marketing sites, tips and tools, focusing on what I could get for free. I used the information I gained through this experience to compile my own marketing resource site.

I continued to add resources, and now I offer a list of marketing recommendations that is unmatched by another other single site. I have ideas, tips, techniques, and resources on my site that you just don't find anywhere else.

Who is Cathy Wagner?
I have published several articles and written two e-books. I also make myself widely available for questions and advice through several contact points.

I enjoy helping others down the path of Internet marketing by hosting free, live chat discussions monthly for both beginner and more advanced marketers. These chats are very interactive and allow you to hear from a wide range of other active internet marketers.

I have seen "experts" offer to tell you what they know for hundreds dollars. When I started, I couldn't afford that. I've created a resource for every internet marketer, no matter what your budget.

I used every free and low cost resource I could find to build my business. You can save time by using nothing but the best.

Most of the resources I recommend are totally free and ONE STOP has steadily grown in popularity because the only fee I ask is a small subscription rate compared to the what it would cost to hire a full time business expert.

Advice to Newcomers
My advice to newcomers to Internet Business is this: Please, don't spend your savings before you have learned how to write effective advertising. Learn and do as much as you can for free before you make any large investment.
