This article was written to address the rip-offs and outright fraudulent activity of a good majority of affiliate marketing programs and supposed get-rich-quick systems out on the web. My intent is to separate those that don’t work and those that are definitely worth a look. At the conclusion of this article I will give you a few sites that I have found do generate income and are worth checking out.
The first thing we should get out of the way should be the most obvious, there is no such thing as getting rich overnight on the internet…or 30-days…or 1-year. Sorry to break the news to those out there holding out for hope. Don’t get me wrong; there are some very viable and lucrative programs out there that deliver what’s promised. I know because beyond my life as a business consultant, I make a pretty good subsidy with a few that we will discuss later. But “rich” is relative and “quick” by no means is subjective. However, I don’t want to get ahead of myself here. I want everything to be as clear and concise as possible. Before I give credence to those systems that I have tried and have proven to be worth their weight in promises, I first want to address the scams.
The most valuable gift we have is common sense. Yes, we can argue that it is given to some of us in varying quantity. But most of us can smell manure when we catch a whiff, or better yet know it when we “see” it. The same is true about a lot of these online “get rich quick” schemes. Some promise they can provide you the simplest work-from-home system that will have you living like a mini-Donald Trump in no time; others assure you that they can provide you with the titanium key to becoming the next eBay guru. Still others assure you that you can be your own boss and live better than your current boss. The truth is most of these “systems” are only e-books written by some ghostwriter that another online affiliate has paid them to write. The information they provide is basically either at your fingertips in the form of requiring a little research, or it is inherent. For example, one system that I reviewed promised that it would provide the key to becoming a Titanium Powerseller on eBay. I thought wow, since I was already at the beginning powerseller level (silver) maybe it can give me the all-elusive information on how to get to the final step, without having to take all those “next steps”. The writer instead provided every detail that can be found right within the eBay site. The truth is no one can provide you the “secret” to success on eBay. Its basic, you find a product/service that a market of people wants and sell/auction it for a competitive price. This requires research on your part and the obtainment of some good sources of the chosen product you wish to sell. The rest is trial and error and learning the ins-and-outs of the system.
But what about the “work-from-home” systems that promise thousands of dollars a day? Not exactly little grasshopper. This is a hit-or-miss dynamic for which we’re speaking that usually results in a miss. The majority of these programs are about as real as stuffing envelopes as a home business. Let me begin to address the red flags that exist and denote a scam waiting to happen.
Okay, the bottom-line is that anyone that promises you riches by filling your head with dreams of large homes, luxurious cars, and more time with your family are only creating a smoke screen of delusion. If they are not focusing on the degree of work that will be required of you and providing realistic expectations of how much income can be generated, they are only selling pipe dreams.
Remember anyone offering to sell you a “secret” is only selling you the secret of how they will become rich.
So, why am I writing this information? Because I am beyond nauseous from all the spam mail and immoral individuals out there that are only after a quick buck by fraudulent means. I made it my quest to search through the rhetoric and basic BS to find what really works and what doesn’t. I wasted too much of my family’s money and my time to want anyone else to go through this process without at least being armed with a little more than what I knew starting out. So, below you will find those income and affiliate systems that I have subscribed to and actually delivered what is promised. Check’em out…beyond all I wish you success and happiness.
