    Or does it - can someone who has a "superb offer" actually to prove me wrong? There are so many people selling crap it is beyond belief. I challenge anyone to put forward an offer that works and I will pay you double your asking price when I see actual proof in my bank!

    My Story
    I am sure many people can relate to this?

    I have spent a fair bit of money through this forum and others, I have to say nothing has made me any money. Yeah the ideas sound good in theory for some but putting into practice ... doesn't appear as easy to do.

    There are so many theories people are selling here however the thing I am learning is that if the offers really worked why would you sell your secret? I know I would sit on it myself and milk it for what it is worth.

    If you are making $12k per month why would you waste your time coaching someone for $400 when your time would be better served marketing your own sites or affiliate links. If you are coaching, show proof, show campaigns that work don't just verbally say this is working, do this and you'll make big $$$. Offer to sort out the keywords list, troubleshoot why somethings not generating sales.

    Guarantees - these are worthless if you pay with Paypal - they drag it out and then side with the seller as it is an intangible item. So please bear that in mind when paying for anything!

    Challenge
    If you have a product you reckon is an earner, I will review it and if successful pay you double what you are selling it for! Prove to me that something in this forums actually works.

    So following on from me & a few others being scammed through this thread http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1212477 I did get $150 of the $400 paid out. Not what I wanted which was a full refund but better than nothing, I have had contact from 3 other members of this forums saying they were ripped off by Bad Sphinx.

    The seller of the said coaching twists it around to make out you are the one at fault, very good at mind games. The training lacked structure, direction, substance and coaching. All in all very wishy washy, never available for the 6-7 hours per week quoted in the post. As the refund requests were starting to come in he closed the thread.

    So please do not fall victim like 4 of us have done so already. Paypal will side with the seller of intangible items so beware of this!

    Friend, first of all, just use your own logic. There's no easy way to make money on the net. I have been here for around 5 years and experimented on various websites and projects and at the end, I realised that its not that easy.

    So finally in Dec 2008, I choose my niche and I am now working on it only. I am now promoting my domain business and trying to further develop it.

    As regards to what you have been a victim, its common stuff on the internet you will find. I always stay away from those single marketing or sale pages which itself start with testimonials. Who knows they are real. So for now you have learned a good lesson, stay away from all this.

    Instead, try to develop your skills on a niche and use it as your tool to promote it. I hope you get my point.

    For making money online, there is no get rich quick scheme. If there is then the top affiliates will keep it tight lipped, I mean why would they wanna ruin the empire that they have built for some mere pocket change?!

    I think the best thing to do is just get motivated and take the big step - I think people usually do this when they have lost everything, have hit rock bottom or have finally refused to fall again.

    Buy some Tony Robbins books and then just go head on at your most passionate hobby/interest. Just remember that the clock is ticking and you only have soo much time left to unlock your talent. Good luck.
