Get Rich!

Work from home… make big bucks working only a few minutes a day!

Get started making money online in five minutes!

These are but a few of the ads you see on the Internet touting untold riches to make your dreams come true. You may be wondering, like most of us who work for a living, if it’s possible to make money on the internet while working from home.

The answer, most definitely is YES!

BUT!!!! It’s not so easy as they would have you believe.

Like most of us who have lived past the ripe old age of thirty, have a family and a few possessions—a home, a nice car or two, the big screen TV—have learned a thing or two about life. By working to get some of the things that improve our quality of life, we've—most of us, anyway—learned that there really is no free lunch. If you want it, you have to work for it, it’s as simple as that.

And those folks who are making money on the Internet… Well, they’ve worked hard too, I assure you—even the crooks out there.

The Internet is not unlike the old west at this point in time. An 1870’s old west to be a little more accurate, where people are no longer just running amok in a lawless frontier. Law and order have been established… pretty much. But it’s still very much a new frontier, with its share of carpet-baggers, scallawags and scam artists just waiting for the right sucker to come along—ripe for the pickin’s.

Many of us have no qualms about buying things on the Internet, but there are some who still refuse, either from their own, or someone else’s bad experience. Or, they just don’t trust it yet, based on their own life experience. But that still leaves millions of us who buy things, daily, on the Internet. My wife and I do it several times a month. So, there’s money to be made out there.

Approaching sixty and being unable to get work in my field, after leaving LA and moving to Phoenix, I have decided to try and make enough money to live on by using the Internet. I have done much research on this and have concluded a few things so far. I would like to share those conclusions with those of you who are interested. Why? Because the nature of the beast tells me to, it seems. Because honesty is still the best policy to live by. But mostly… they’re getting away, dammit!

First of all, anyone who tells you it’s easy is lying. If they are lying about this, then what else are they lying about? I suppose if they said it was hard then nobody would buy what they’re selling… but it’s still a lie.

It often goes like this. "I’m making thousands of dollars a week on the Internet… you can too. Why am I telling you this? Because I want to share my secret to success with the world." Poppycock.

Ask yourself; now what would you do if you discovered the secret to success? Answer: Why, you’d either keep it all for yourself and be envied by all who survey you, OR, you’d be really cool and share it with your friends and family. What you definitely would not do is, share it with strangers and let them clog up the market as your competition. And you certainly wouldn’t sell the secret for a lousy forty to fifty bucks; not if you’re raking in thousands reaping the rewards of that secret. Ever see one of those old movies where somebody finds gold and chaos ensues? It’s pretty much like that.

So, logic tells us that those folks who are selling their secret to untold wealth are full of shit. Most of us probably come to that conclusion, but wonder if perhaps this might be that opportunity fellow a knockin’… and what did you say you’d do if that ever happened to you? You said you’d open that ol’ door right on up and let him in. Then, cold hard reality sets in and you realize it’s just another douche-bag come for your hard-earned money in return for some magic beans.

It’s not a scam, not really, as scams go. They provide you with mountains of quasi-useful information, forums to talk to people, customer support and even website templates to get started. Trouble is, how many of us know what to do with a website template. Of course, they explain it all to you—in spades—making it even more daunting. All this for around forty-seven bucks… such a deal.

They got this guy—we’ll call him Scott—has a website devoted solely to make you savvy to all the scams out there. He does this to gain your confidence and then he tells you about his experiences with online marketing. He’s worked really hard he tells you, but now he’s raking in the dough. Now he wants to spare people he doesn’t know, the heartaches and pain of all the hard work he’s put in; and for absolutely no charge at all, he directs you to the best site he knows that is honest and really works. Again… poppycock.

Now, ask yourself, why would he do that!?! The only reason I can think of is that the site he directs you to is also his site and he can get you to send him money now that you trust him… because he directed you there out of the kindness of his heart.

The Internet can be a very surreal place at times. Instead of actual people, we see pictures of actual people. And when we talk to people on the Internet, they could be anyone—unless, of course, you’re instant messaging with your sister in Poughkeepsie… who would fake that? It’s the old ‘Bait and Switch’ made easy by the visual anonymity of the Internet… like takin’ candy from a baby it is.

And there are still some people out there who won’t buy things on the Internet! Gee… I wonder why.
