Once upon a time (well, only about 5 years ago really) I was a green being that wanted to make some money on the internet. At the time I was playing around on MyLot and read about this great opportunity, that would make me rich in absolutely no time at all, if only I would join. It was all going to be so easy, set up a ClickBank Account, join a couple of traffic exchanges and hey presto, within days I would be rich. So I learnt about hoplinks, and I learnt to surf and joined several surf sites and nothing happened.
But, luckily, whilst I was surfing I saw this very nice young man, who had apparently been living on rice and beans for years and years, though he did look good on it. Now though, he had made an absolute fortune and he was willing to teach me for FREE how to do the same. So I joined. And I joined. And I joined. I joined everything he told me to join and spent an absolute fortune improving his financial situation. I had an auto-responder, leads, my own website and various other things I had no idea how to use, and instead of earning money, I was spending it. I did get three sign ups for this program, and made $3.00 on the website site, without ever being able to get it out. I joined several other must have companies, all of which led to further and further expense as you had to absolutely join this Marketer Networking site that only cost $25.00 per month etc etc. I will not calculate how much I spent on all this, not because I can´t, but because I think it would reduce me to tears to think how much money I wasted on all these wonderful opportunities that never produced anything. Nada, zilch, zip.
Then I got a bit wiser, and managed to team up with someone from Australia, and actually made $5,000 for the first time in my life. But it took a while (mainly because I had lost interest and forgotten I had ever joined in the first place) and it is not a cheap opportunity to join, so getting sign ups is difficult.
However, I have learnt from my experiences though and found that I look at advertising in a new way. Put away your credit card your first month is free, means that the owner of that program has decided to use as their main business that you have to subscribe to, a program that was free for one month in the first place, but you will pay for it after one month when you are firmly hooked. Free report give-away mean you are a lead that has now been captured (I intensely dislike that expression, it sounds so degrading) and you will now be spammed senseless for the rest of your life. Serious man saying Flashy over-hyped sites do not work, but ours does we really want to help you, means zilch, zip, nada.
So, this disillusioned marketer has broken all the rules and joined a Flashy Over-hyped Site that pays 100% commissions directly into your payment processor of choice and guess what? She got her first payment within 2 days of joining, that means the original money is now back in account as though it had never left. It should not work, this flashy over-hyped impossible opportunity, It Should Not Work, but you know, I just think it will. So you may keep eating rice and beans, and having a Real Business fattening someone else`s downline and receiving their spam, and good luck to you. This girl will take her chance on the Flash and the Hype and the real money into PayPal account.
