If that old adage is true than it's especially true when it comes to Internet scams.
Get rich quick schemes that only a fool or and idiot would believe make thousands per day and millions per year from suckers like you and me.
Yes, I said it, you and me! I have personally been making money from internet marketing since 1999.
I started out selling a how to become a financial consultant book that had modest success by standards in those days for a newbie.
Instead of sticking to the basic fundamentals that got me that modest success and improving on them, I started looking for ways to cut corners and yes you guessed it, Get Rich Quick Methods.
The very first Get Rich Quick Method that I tried was to order a bulk emailer for a couple of hundred dollars, along with a million opportunity seeker emails.
I was sure that within a few days the money would start to fill my bank account and happy days would be here again right.
Wrong, not only did I not make a dime from this stupid endeavor, but I got a bunch of recipient returns, lost my hosting and web site and had to pay a fine for causing a server to crash! You would think that I would have learned my lesson by then, but greed can be a powerful mistress! After the bulk emailer fiasco didn't work out for me, I started trying to figure out how I cold reach those same opportunity seeker's that I desperately needed to make my pile of Gold.
The next Sucker Trap that I fell into was the send email to 2.
5 million recipients for $ 39.
95.
Reach millions of opportunity seekers with one easy click.
No spam, no hassles, no problems.
Just send us you hard earned money and we'll take care of the rest.
Just sit back and watch you money tree Grow.
Needless to say, you know how that one turned out.
Ouch, you got me again! Next I tried the FFA, Free For All Sites, hoping that I might get Lucky.
