    Is TwoDollars.biz a scam? Has anyone made money from this?

    looks like hes the only person making that generated $2.39 but its a little price to pay, it is always possible it might be a scam, im sure someone will tell us soon.

    Spending two dollars for a site, I would expect to get something that is worth just that. Can you really be successful with a site that is worth $2?

    I dont think its exactly a scam.
    He is selling you some kind of affiliate and maybe its all true.
    The problem is that i dont think is really possible for you to sell this.
    BUT i think if you do it, maybe its true and you get the $2

    But, again, its not maybe a scam but a naive promise for naive dreamers.

    Just try it out, its only $2.39 after all.

    And it's quite clear it's just another marketing site aimed at convincing people that they cannot live without the product(s) listed, and that's exactly what you will get in return.

    People who say you cannot earn money from a $2 website are in fact wrong ... you can easily earn money from sites like this providing you spend a little time in promoting it - drive some traffic there cheaply (webtrafficwholesale.com) and give it some PR juice either from link excahnges or directory submissions ;)

    to me it doesn't look worth the time.

    Takes me 2 minutes to reg a domain name, 3 minutes to add a hosting plan on my server, 10 minutes adding some backlinks to the new domain on about 5 of my other websites and 30 minutes adding the site to some directories.

    By doing this, I have made about $1100 in 2 years from around 50 sites just like this - all on autopilot.

    If you DID spend more time in promotion then obviously that figure would be more respectable, but it's not bad considering - I give sites like this about an hour of my time for initial setup, then I never return again.

    The funny thing is...He's selling you the exact same thing that the website itself is. He probably bought that website from someone else's website that said, "Want to make $2.00 over and over again..?" Just look at the website. That's what you're buying.

    Already pointed that out - "it's quite clear it's just another marketing site aimed at convincing people that they cannot live without the product(s) listed, and that's exactly what you will get in return"

    Why are people trying to put this guy off? No you will NOT make endless streams of cash, No your paypal account will not overload with excitement as millions of dollars come flooding your way, but yes you will make a profit over and over again - how much depends on how much time you give the site in promotion etc...

    This site for example, www.backlinksgenerator.net, has NEVER been promoted yet I still earn $7 per month from it, and it cost me $3 and about 20 minutes of my time to setup - now I leave it running and forget all about it for the rest of eternity - it really is that simple - yet if I spent an hour per day promoting the product it would generate much more income.

    I haven't got the faintest idea but if it sounds too good to be true I always say that it's a scam kind of a deal. If you want to be successful you gotta work hard, period.

    What is basically is a website that is selling ebooks, then when you sign up with your payment for $2.39 you own all rights to the ebook.

    the site automatically provides you an affiliate link which you can promote and sell the ebooks. All payments made to the website through your affiliate link go to you.

    all its is is reselling a couple of ebooks with an automated website - but obviously the real reason why people join is to make money.

    i don't know why it's so hard for people to understand this. I really don't.
