I admit, those infomercials are extremely entertaining and even addictive. Those hosts are insane sales people that know how to capture the attention of the audience. However, I have always had the mind-set: “if you can make thousands with 1 hour of work; why share the secret?”.
Long-story short, fortunately, I have never actually purchased one of those crap programs.

I don’t mind people who make money helping others do it, BA; after all, if I ever start making real money online I’ll probably share how I did it as well. That is, after I build up my own wallet first. lol What I mind are the obvious lies and the deception while promoting how one did it. The “making millions is simple and easy” part; just doesn’t happen.

Great writeup Mitch as usual… you won’t believe how many times I heard about these false claims of making thousands and thousands of $$$ on daily basis. I found at the end that the Internet is exactly like real life. If you put hard work into it, you’ll get money. If you don’t, you won’t get anything. One funny thing I keep reminding myself of is that if these guys in the commercials are making all this money, what are they doing here exactly? I thought they’d be in Bahamas or something enjoying their “no-work” days with loads and loads of money

For sure, Jan. Just today I was flipping the channels and came across this commercial just as this guy was saying he made $4,000 within 72 hours of receiving this package. Please!

I hate these programs. I’ve spend a lot of time going through all thes quick-rich schemes and it was just a waste of time.

Hi Peter,

Well, I don’t know that I’d like to do it all for free, but I think I’ve covered a lot of stuff on this blog and on my SEO website, where I also have articles and links to a lot of information. Overall, I think there’s a lot of information out there, and people need to decide how they need that information. Truth is that many people want to be hand fed, and if that’s the case then it’s going to cost a lot of money. It also does take time putting all this stuff together. I don’t mind anyone making a lot of money; I just hate it when they drive up false hope for those who really can’t afford to learn expensive lessons.

Sorry to hear you’ve lost money on this, Steve. Yeah, these guys can make it seem like the world is yours, which it is, but it’s not as easy nor as inexpensive as they make it out to be.

Spot on Mitch.

Its funny how these clever marketing people are able to dress things up so well to prey on peoples hopes when we all know that any business takes a huge amount of planning and effort – its also a shame the TV companies don’t vet their claims more thoroughly.

I’d like to see what the FTC would have to say about a business opportunity that claims you can make millions just by spending $50, also to vet the references.

I hazard a guess that you or I and many other Internet Marketers would be more than willing to teach someone the basic information they teach for free on the internet……

This is the same strategy used by all the get rich quick scam artists. I’m embarrassed to say I’ve lost money to several of these. What they sell is good basic information at sky high prices. Most of the information is free on the internet if you look hard enough. They don’t tell you about the money you need to spend to make the system work and the huge amount of time and effort it will take. But if they were honest and upfront about it they would go broke. Too bad for us.

They certainly do, Klaus, and people will pay for it all in the long run.

However, truth be told, often we’re not sure what we’re getting on the internet unless we research it first.
