Hi David! I didn't even get half way through your post before I started mentally shouting, "Amen!" One of the biggest scammers I had the pleasure of exposing had a very clean, well written site. Very professional looking. So good in fact, that he was successful in ripping off at least 30 people of more than $60,000 in one year. (Each of these 30 people, have contacted me, and every story was exactly the same.) His name is Dave Turner, aka Clinton Walker, aka Dean Phillips, Inside Reporter, and Marketing Basics. The last to are blog psuedonyms. There is no such thing as get rich quick, unless you're a scammer. Solid income comes from honesty, commitment, effort and determination, not from some flashy program, which is promising the moon for peanuts. Research every income opportunity, and run away from anything which promises high returns on your money for doing nothing. And yes, I consider surfing for traffic doing nothing. IMHO it is a waste of time even listing your site with an auto surf program, where the only people that are surfing are people selling, not buying, knowing full well that no one is probably even seeing your page, because like you, they aren't paying attention. Wasting time is just as profitable as doing nothing. Anywho... Awesome article David! Take care, Trina

Hi Trina, Thanks for an excellent post and some very good points. --------------------------------------------------------------- There is no such thing as get rich quick, unless you're a scammer.

There are no shortcuts. --------------------------------------------------------------- Wasting time is just as profitable as doing nothing. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I think you may just have created a soon-to-be famous quote! Bogdan should list it in his daily quotes. A lot of people should paste this at the top of their computer monitor! God bless, Dave

As always Dave, thank you so much for an excellent post. All the best! Julie

Dave, Very good! I wish I could say it as well as you did! One of the things you alluded to pertaining to start ups and pre-launch using the "Hype Smoke and Mirrors" is how they will always use the "Carrot Removal" to intice people into their company. We continually see these terms "Get In At The Top", or "Bottom". You and I and all professional marketers know that any time you begin a business, we are at the top of that business, and we are responsible for building that business. Today the term "Spillover" is used quite often, there is a reality to this that many people con't realize. This is a takeoff of the old "Downline Building Clubs" Crunch the numbers and you will see why it just isn't feasable.
