The Truth About Making Money Online

Even if you are new to the Internet Marketing scene,you've probably already seen ads, sales pages andemails promoting ways to become filthy rich in notime, with no work and no brains.
If that were true, nobody would be working anymore.We'd all be spending money online, buying from eachother. For some of us, the spending part is too true! The problem is that these same folks aren't making anymoney at all. Aside from the various money scams, "phishing" tricks to steal your identity and "spoof" emails from paymentprocessors, there's a group of opportunists that wantyour money for nothing - nothing actionable, that is.

They're the ones that tell you what you want to hear,and may even tell you what to do to make big bucksfast and easy. The problem is, they don't tell you HOWto do this.
The system, method, technique or software that you'reencouraged to buy is missing a key element -implementation, or how to make it work.

In some cases, the idea actually worked well, for awhile. Now that it's outdated, diluted or evenillegal, these sharks sell it to the unsuspecting "newkid on the block".
By the time the poor kid figures out that this bright,shiny thing is useless, the desire to get a refund haswithered away. That's what these predators count on -lack of follow through on the part of the buyer.

Since most people are not cut out to be self-employedgo-getters, a promise of easy riches with no effort orsacrifice gets these "underachievers" to pay forproducts and services that won't work.

The risk is minimal. A simple disclaimer about incomepromises, work involved and ability are glossed overby the greedy and protect the scammer from being shutdown for overpromising.
The problem for the sincere, hardworking types who arelooking for (and offering) genuine help and usefulproducts and services is that many of the good onescan appear to be the same as the bad ones.

In fact, most, if not all, of the tactics andstrategies used by the crooks are used by the goodguys. The difference is accountability.

Practically every good idea, product and service isbacked up by customer service, "no hassle" mone.y backguarantees and genuine positive feedback from buyerswho are reachable.

"Investigate before you invest" is sound advice whenyou're thinking about putting your money in aninvestment product. It's the same when you're decidingabout knowledge products, software and help buildingyour business.

The first rule of thumb for spending money on a giventool is, "When in doubt, don't!" Until you'vedeveloped your intuition and some knowledge about goodbusiness practices, ask around. Go to discussionforums, interest groups and the like and postquestions about what you're investigating.

Make sure you follow the rules of the group or forum.You can get booted out, razzed or worse if a simplesearch could have gotten your answer for you.

Research and caution are the two things you'll need toprotect yourself from excess credit card debt andnothing to show for it.

Also, keep in mind those clever manipulators scam evenseasoned business owners. Being experienced inprotecting themselves, they get their refund or"chargeback" their credit card account.

Then they spread the word to their colleagues that "Soand So" is a so-and-so. By keeping your own eyes openand finding the places where the serious-mindedbusinesspeople meet and chat, you'll be able to sharein the same warnings that the pros give to each other.

I have seen many "opportunities" online but nothing can be compared with this one. This is a BUSINESS you can get right now and base your online future to.
