Why Most Money Making Opportunities Fail Most People
I know you have seen a lot of "secrets" advertised that promise overnight riches. I saw one ad that said something like "Earn $10,000 a month. Start earning in 15 minutes".
On the surface, this advertisement is a fraud and implies that you should start making 10,000 a month starting in 15 minutes. Of course, this never happens and is not even a possibility. The average person, and even those well above average, would be far better off to invest the $97 in the lottery.
At least with the lottery there is a chance you can get rich overnight. With the guru products you don't stand any chance at all and here is why.
In order for the Guru types to sell you anything, they must first detatch you from your rational thought. They do this by turning your attention to how much money they make, and how much you will make after you buy their product.
They fill you full of dreams and hopes, and promise you the world for a single click of your mouse. They scare you into believeing the secret will disappear tomorrow so you will buy their garbage now. They know that if you think rationally about the purchase, you will not buy their product.
They are able to convince a lot of people to buy their garbage products and systems that contain no more information than is available for free if you look for it.
Any program that uses these techniques for making the sale are doomed to failure. They set false expectations that can never be met, so they cannot produce anything but failure.
If a product sales page sets unreasonable expectations for success, you should click away from the page as soon as your little finger can click that button. A general, catchal money making system will do nothing but waste your time.
If a book offers you something specific, such as tips and tricks for search engine optimization, check out the ranking of the site. If the ranking is off the world and you can't find the site, you can bet the book is practically worthless and contains nothing but the same old stuff you see for free everywhere else.
Do yourself a favor and get set up for success by getting yourself a 100 page website built and operational. Once you have done the prerequisite work to succeed, you can find specialty products that can help you better develop the specific parts of your money making venture.
Maybe an SEO book if your rankings aren't that good. Or a book on Adsense if you need to improve your CTR or the amount you get per click. Many of the tips you find in these books will help an existing business improve on its performance.
Stop wasting time by trying to find the "secret" to making money online. The secret is doing the work and the money will not come until after the work is done. And the work that has to be done does not include buying a guru product that sets you up for failure.
I know that money can be made online, working from home, without the assistance of anyone else. That is what you really want to accomplish. And all i takes from you is the WORK to apply the information available everywhere for free.
