What I’ve learned about Internet Marketing
Hi and thank you for reading this report.
It’s not a long report, but it just might save you hundreds of dollars that you would have spent if you had not read this first. I am just like you. I wanted to make money on line and have tons of residual income to sustain me through my retirement years. So I answered an ad in the local paper for working from home online and I was to earn between $ 500 and $ 4,500 per month. It sounded like just what the doctor ordered so I called and spoke with a delightful young lady that informed me that the job wasn’t actually a job but an opportunity to run my own business retailing health and nutritional products.
I have been in business with my husband for years and this sounded like something I could do. If it involved selling on the internet I was all for it. I signed up, got my “free” website only to discover that if I wanted a functional website it would cost xxx # of dollars a month. This sounded reasonable so I signed up.
Next my sponsor said I needed a second website for recruiting. That one cost $125.00 per year, so I signed up. Getting the picture?
Now I have two lovely websites that no one in the world knows about except my sponsor and me. So, being new to the internet, I started poking around for ways to promote my sites. My first stop was to a site called “TafficSwarm”. This sounds promising. It’s free! So I sign up.
Now, actually TafficSwarm turned out to be really good as far as “click for credits” go. (If you don’t know what “click for credits” are, then you are really new). These are programs where you can place your ads for your site. Then you click through other peoples ads for their sites to earn credits. As long as you have credits in your account then your ad is displayed so others can click on it too. The trouble with clicking for credits is two fold,
• You spend your time clicking
• As you click, you see other sites that promise the sun, moon and stars.
Now each of these sites say “signup for free”. So, you sign up. Hey, this guy is a “internet guru”, just ask him. He makes millions of dollars a year and for free (because he is a nice guy) he wants to share his knowledge with you.
So starts your path to wealth. All you have to do is join 6 different affiliate programs and now you have 6 sources of income. This “guru” then gives you the websites to join. Sounds good, even sounds like it could work if you work hard “promoting” “your” new 6 websites, because as you join in each one of these affiliate programs they give you a site. WOW, now you have a total of 8 sites. These are all free and all going to pay you a commission. Boy, just wait for all that money to start rolling in!
Click, click. Look at this one! It’s even better than the first. Well, you’ve gone this far why not try this one out too. So, you sign up. This one has 20 streams of income all you have to do is join, promote and rake in the cash. Now, you have 28 websites.
Now here is the rub. None of these “free” affiliate programs will actually send you any commissions. If they did, were would their money come from? So for just a few extra dollars you can become a full fledged affiliate and really rake in the dollars. So, like the good little puppy that you are you pay, jump through all the hoops they ask you to because next month you will get you big fat commission cheque, right?
As you are joining all these programs, you are frantically trying to promote your own website and now you have 26 more. Some of them are autoresponder programs. These are programs you pay for each month . They send out prewritten scripts designed to promote the programs you have joined, not your own site, the one you started with but the affiliate sites, thus you are in fact paying for someone else’s advertising and you are doing all the work. What a concept. You pay for leads one way or another and put them in the autoresponder. Then you send them out to the new prospects.
To top it all off, in order to get leads you join all these traffic programs that promise you that you will get 500,000 or more visits to your website and they give you a free website. (I’ve lost count now) This sounds real good and promising. The fact of the matter is you end up 500 or 600 e-mails a day from others that are doing the same thing that you are. Who can read that many e-mails. So you pick and choose. As luck may have it you hit another site that sounds real good and your off again.
I might add here that I have made a grand total $12.95 in commissions that I can’t get unless I spend $49.95 to purchase a debit card.
I guess if you can avoid finding better sites after you chose one and really pour your heart and soul into it you might make a few bucks but which one is best?
Unless you can come up with something on your own to sell or promote I don’t think I would quit my day job.
I must say that I have had fun reading all the propaganda, listening to all the recordings. I think the funniest of all is the one that they have people on line talking to you 24/7. Boy oh boy these guys have got guts. They insult, ceruse and push people into paying hundreds of dollars for just another get rich scheme, for them, not you.
If I have not taught you anything in this report, I am sorry, but I have told you the reality of starting off trying to make a go of it. If you don’t believe me now, just wait. What else can I tell you, oh yes, just because they say they will pay you it all depends of course on the number of people you can get to join the program. So the cycle starts all over again. There is another way to make money on the internet, this a little more of a sure thing in that you don’t have to sell anything. No, with this one you just forward money to the person that owns the site. Then you get a site and if someone lands on it and decides to join they send you money. If enough people do this you might even make a buck.
Discouraged? You bet! Yes, I believe there are people out there making money but it’s not you and me. It’s the guy that dreams up all these internet adventures that newbie’s buy into. (That would be you and me).
Am I ready to give up? No way! I will figure this out. I will make it on the web. I just have join this......... D. Reiber
