There's no mystery about it. \its not magic. That's the 1st thing we need to discuss---the internet is not magic! Why do so many people struggle and fail at making money at internet? One reason is that they think the internet can do things that are impossible. They've been told again and again that they need to do is join this program or sign for that program--- and send in some money---and they will make tons of money while they sleep. they are told that they will make money as a result of spillover they get from their upline...

People become victims because they believe whatever they see on the internet, without checking it out. Before you join any site, and particularly if it asks you to pay money, it is necessary to search forums and read blogs to see if something is a scam or if people are actually earning from it. If many blogs are promoting a site, it usually means that the only way to make money from that site is to get referrals. If you join it, you will be competing with every other member of that site for new referrals! Making money online requires carefulthought and good judgement. Those who jump onto any offer they see will always be a victim.

Hello, Mash99. People create some kind of illusion about what Internet really is. They think that Internet can get them rich in a blink of eyes. But, if Internet could really get you rich, then everybody would be working at home. Internet will only make rich those who are intelligent/wise enough to learn how to. You do not have a teacher, you do not have anybody to tell you what to do. You must have your own way of getting where you want. And people should watch out and keep away from those programs that say they can get rich while sleeping, or while traveling. "Make millions a day". If somebody made a million in a day, then the person would not need to share any program nor request any fee for you to learn. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

one of the bad things about the internet is that it gives the con artists like the people who sell those "business opportunities" online pretty much free reign. All they have to do is get on there and do a mass email campaign offering their "opportunity". They know there will be plenty of people who are gullible enough to fall for it. Unfortunately, by the time the victims realize they have been had...the people who sent that crap to them are long gone. They move on to their next victims, and leave the people they scammed to clean up the mess... These people who fall victim to these scams bring it on themselves just as I did, though. I learned the hard way never to do business with someone you can't meet face to face. I have also learned the hard way to NEVER pay someone to get into their "business opportunity" the way most of those network marketing things require. The reason they require payment up front like that is because once they get your check, they have already made their money off you. They don't care if you make one dime from their program, because they already have their profit from you, and they have moved on to recruiting the next "you". As long as they have people who are willing to send them money, they will have a job...making money off hard working people looking for a better way of life...

Well my dear alot of person think that you by a split of a second you can make millions. I think that it is because of Second Life. In everything one does in life you have to work hard. The bible says by the breathe of your brow one shall in bread. We have to work to achieve and in order to achieve at the highest level it takes dedication and compromising.

Yes its true that most of the program isn't some kind of magic where you can easily get money without doing anything. If it true I'm sure all the people in the net is already a millionaire right now. The thing is people get easily drawn into such program and willing to send a few cash in hands in order to get hundred more without doing nothing. In this real wold there is nothing gain without doing nothing. At least you post or write some in order to earn some extra cash like those legit site. I do happened to have my aunt investing in this so called get rick quick scheme and ended losing thousand of dollars. I guess I learned from mistakes that is a foolish thing to do nothing and earn a lot.
