Beware the “Free Money” Business Opportunity
June 17th, 2010
There's a program doing the rounds at the moment called Viral Cash Blast which promises a free $50 when you sign up.
Stay away.
Here's buy Female Sexual Oil online why.
You don't receive $50. Instead $50 is paid into your internal commission account where the threshold for payment is $100.
I haven't taken the time to review the intricacies of the program -. I have more important things to do -like run my own business – but the basic bait and switch structure is the same as Free and Powerful which really is a variation on Tissa's people search.
Any program which promises a free $50 up front and then lets you know that you have to qualify to earn it is fundamentally dishonest. A program that is free to join and then says upgrade and we'll pay you a set commission without reserve is much more transparent. An affiliate program that pays you a commission for every real product you sell is better again.
Where I get really order cialis annoyed is that these programs pray on people with very little experience looking to make money on the Internet and offering them "free training" to promote their affiliate link. They are enrolling electronic slaves.
You never see Frank Kern, Mike Filsaime, Alex Goad, Mark Dulisse or Graham Hamer associated with such unethical smoke and mirrors campaigns. There's a good reason why.
Online business education does not happen overnight.
You need to master some sound basic tools – website and autoresponder and to master some basic skills. It's all about promoting you – not some mythical free money pigs might fly mythical forced matrix designed to make teh program owner rich.
Wise up – don't get involved.
Learn to promote yourself and your business.

It amazes me how 'common sense' is so missing in most people who look to start an online business. The seem to actually believe that you will make money doing nothing and paying nothing. I mean I was born in the dark, but not last night. I am fortunate (or just stubborn) and have made is more than 2 years in this crazy business and it seems the scams are getting more blatant. I have had many 'learning experiences' (some would call them failures) that have given me wisdom on a lot of different areas. One of them hasn't been losing money to a scam though. I have signed up for some things to see what the REAL deal was. I now use the 'trust, but verify' philosophy in about everything. If I promote a scam – it would be very hard to gain trust back.
I enjoy reading your articles. Keep up the good work!
Leonard you’ve hit the nail on the head.
If you recommend trash you’re branding yourself as being of the same ilk.
we all make mistakes, and we all have had some bad experiences.
Things tend to go in cycles – right now there are a lot of pariahs and scumbags trying to leverage off of people’s fear.
The strange thing is that now is teh time that real honest reputable people have the opportunity to establish themselves in the marketplace.
It isn’t easy and sometimes we all fee like doing something simple like working for a wage, but if you stand true, stick to what you believe in and form strong relationships with others of a similar mindset. things will work out.
Thanks for the kind words.
Awesome post Mark, you are spot on, this type of program is the worst kind of deception. Fortunately I have never fallen for this type of deceptive offer. You are so right that branding yourself and having a tangible product to offer is far better than these things to make a good living online.

Thanks for the feedback Jon. Glad o hear you haven’t been caught, many good people have been.
Great post Mark. I wish I could say I have not fallen for some of these things, but I still have a dormant account over at Free and Powerful, and at Tissa'a program. Many times I join to check things out, but when I figure out what is going on, I just let it go. Like you said, there are no shortcuts. We have to put in our dues and learn the underlying principles of building an honest business.
Hey Victor – good to hear from you.
Don’t feel bad about being drawn into these programs it happens to everybody (or most of us).
