    It took about 10 minutes for me to make this up. See if you can catch the mistake I made. I used some cheap image editing software.

    Looks pretty real to me. What's the point?

    your balance on the top should be 7345.80 instead of 7000?

    Well, if I make a few of those images I can be a CJ expert too... You know what I mean?

    Yes, sir! I just hope that half of the poster who post their *high* earnings are not bogus either.

    Wow, that's alot of money. To be honest I really didn't think that kind of money could be made, but that's pretty amazing. Care to share some secrets or tips? If you come out with an e-book i'll buy it, my mspaint skills aren't exactly up to par these days ya know.

    Took me a sec to realize what was wrong. I know a lot of people use fake screen shots so they should always be taken with a grain of salt

    I made the whole thing up. Those earnings only exist on the image. Although, I do make some on CJ but not that much.

    Now come on, don't lie! You do earn that much really! You're just afraid we'll all figure out your niche and steal your SEO voodoo and push you off the top spot for Plastic Garden Chairs. D'oh! There, I let it slip.

    I'm also really working at getting a nice round figure like $7000. I earned $6997.85 last month, and boy, you can imagine how annoyed I was!

    Actually the comma is where it's supposed to be. There are two mistakes there. One the total at the top should be $7,345.80 and the numbers in the Pending Commissions should be aligned to the right not to the left.

    I simply posted this to show how easy it is to make up an image with bogus numbers. I could make as many of them as I wanted to, to show off as an expert.

    I guess, watch out for anyone who post images with high numbers. Ask yourself, why is this person doing this? What is behind it? What are his/her motives?

    For a simple fact that stating false numbers is not going to fly on this forum. Like I said I can post false images here too and be everyone's hero. But I think it is low.

    It is also for the purpose of educating the public that there are weird people out there who get a cheap satisfaction from bragging about how cool they are. If you make tons of dough - great. Please, keep it to yourself. Humility is a path to success, you know...

    Actually with that kind of attitude whats the point of even reading forums then? I mean DP is a great place to learn and interact with people in the industry. Some making huge amounts some not. The point is those kind of posts can be very inspiring and motiving to people (be it real or not). Frankly I would've probably never bothered with CJ if not for seeing such posts and becoming motivated to do well. Which I've been able to attain success with CJ although I haven't made threads posting screenshots, those that feel others can benefit from it should continue to do it.

    Anyways the only time I find things such as that suspect or possibly damaging is when people attempt to sell you a service or "secret" or what not based on a screen shot of their earnings. We all know if someone is earning X,XXX a month of a method selling that method to couple of people on DP will only end up hurting that method in the long run with saturation.

    But anyways I hope people keep posting things like this all over DP and keep the motivation alive for those just getting started with any particular Aff Network.
