Something I've come across

    Hey all

    I've been off reading plenty on the subject how to make money online. Anyone who's read my earlier recent posts will understand why this has suddenly become more important to me.
    However, I think there are fewer more controversial subjects online than this one...or ones that offer such differing views from people. Reminds of the crappy work-from-home scams that land through the letterbox occasionally.
    I've trawled so many sites, read a lot of crap, some decent tips and some outright barefaced lies.
    I've been in sales before, and written sales copy so I understand the carrot and stick approach...giving potential victims, ahem, customers enough info so they bite and pay for your particular ebook/software program.
    Everyone has a product to sell you, a blueprint that will give you a step by step to internet riches. The age old adage still stands; if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
    But ever the optimist, I continue reading and now some sort of a plan is beginning to form...the machine may not yet be in working order, but some of the larger cogs are certainly falling into place. But I posess both caution and scepticism in large quantities and I think I am a difficult person to fool with scams...not infallible but I have a knack for spotting red herrings.
    I have been leaning towards internet marketing and that leads me to my first question.
    Are all the people selling systems and blueprints to riches now cashing in on the fact that making money like that has died a death and the best way to capitalise on that dying market is to sell people the ideas that made them money knowing the business model collapses once a critical mass of people replicating it online occurred? After all a fool and his money will always be easily parted.
    I will happily state that I know very little about the online business scape...so far, and although I am looking at ways to make money on the internet I am not starving so will do nothing out of desperation. I'm just looking for the views from people that have been doing this longer than i have and have more experience. Are you one of the people that threw large amounts of money at such programs? Did it pay off? Or do you now rue the day the net chewed you up and spit you out?

    Secondly, the reason this information has become more pertinent for me is because I think I've stumbled onto one such slickly written offer. I've read it and re-read it and although the sceptic in me is still wary it sounds more worthwhile than a lot of other stuff I've read. Now, before anyone asks, for my own reasons I will not divulge any details of the offer. I dont want to advertise what may be a scam. I just want to know more, from people who have been doing this longer than I have, before I decide to part with a monthly subscription just shy of $40.

    So fellow DP'ers, help a newb out and chuck in your two cents worth. Any and all comments welcome!!

    I don't think $40/month is a big amount.
    You can try for 1 month,if its really generate money,then continue subscription.
    But i do urge you to do some research before deposit money to the program.
