When I click at sites, once in a while there´s a guru talking to us from his villa at the beach (swaying palms and the like), or showing his new car and magnificent house.
At the end of the page they tell you that, just for today, you can get the "how to do it" book for half the price. Would you pay for that knowledge? What I really mean to say is: do you think they have a way to make us rich? If you were rich enough, would you care to share your secrets for $5 or $10? Share your thought, friends. I myself think that they are scammers.

Having been one of the stupid people who buy stupid things like ways to get rich from so-called gurus, I can say, don't believe it! I guarantee something in the formula for their success has been omitted, if they haven't out and out lied. I've read several that were books on making money online, and they weren't get rich quick schemes or scams, but they definitely were more work than I could afford or more money investment than I have available. There just doesn't seem to be short cuts to wealth, just hard work and a long endeavor without much return. One of my friends from overseas is the only person I've known online who I think told me the truth about what he made online and $600 a month wasn't supporting him or his family. The most money these so called wealthy online business people are making is from selling the book about how they wrote a book and sold it to people who were stupid enough to buy it to learn writing the book was the secret!! No scam, just a way to take advantage of people. Just my opinion!! May not be a scam, but does make me feel plum stupid!!

It is a scam in the sense that they offer you a way to get righ quickly and with little work. That cannot be done ever. I make $100 a month and I work a lot and exchange links of sites with friends(more work) to get a couple of active referrals. They rest I don´t belive in.

I know that for a fact, the money I have spent trying online business has not been returned yet. I still have more money in it, than I have income. One business I was in was a great idea, and well intentioned, but the owner of it got too big an idea for his ability to produce what he was aiming at. Greed! Eyes bigger than his stomach! He reeled in a lot of money before he dumped the idea and everyone in the business, leaving the ones who helped him get the money without an income equal to the investment. My investment was under $50 and I got that feeling in the pit of my stomach that we were being mislead, but I watched lots of people really loose a lot of money and friends over that business. I rarely see anyone in an online business who doesn't spend more money than they make, and some go bankrupt before they give up the idea of becoming a millionaire on the internet. I'm sure there are a few, but cluing the rest of us in to how to do it, not happening. And I know the ones who offer to coach you to success, are probably the biggest offenders around. Just my opinion, but I'd rather write a fictional story and sell it outright on the internet than work for someone else.

I have learned the hard way not to trust an investment that I don´t understand. I want to know beforehand what it is about and, if possible, be the boss.

I have purchased several of those books
and they might work. The thing is everyone else
is using them too. It might be better if one had a
lot of friends and they all bought it and worked
together. It takes work no matter what.
The best thing is to come up with a unique ebook
idea of your own and publish it. Still, it has
to be info that people would want.

What do you mean by saying they might work? 
Is it possible to get rich by using them. Are you rich? I cannot imagine how you could end up rich by working with sites that pay cents.

The model works this way. He sell that book at full price, not half. All curious people would buy the book, and he will be rich.
Those who buy the book gain nothing, but they got this idea. So some of them will do it the same way. Everyone who are doing it are all scammers, and second level scammers. If I have a way to be rich, do you think I'll tell you?

That´s what I think. If I had found a way to get rich easily with no work I would not tell anyone. The economy would be destroyed if we could all be rich

really you are absolutely right, i believe that if any website claims to make you rich and demands some investment then they turn out to be a scammer. almost every website that demands money is a scam site so beware of such sites and use other sites to make money......

There´s no way that anyone can make you rich by buying something for a few dollars. The only way would be to buy a lottery number and hit the jackpot, but the odds aren´t many

NO! NO! NO! You should always say NO to those money gurus, I believe 9 out of 10 of them are scammers. There not really have secret with them on how to make money, intead, they will tell you to do the same like what they did to tell other they know the secret of making money, and pretend to be a money making gurus. So, people will start to pay you money to learn the same money making trick. And the cycle keep going. I wonder how many people have actually fell into such a trick.

I think 10 out of 10 are scammers. No way that people will get rich with a $5 book. It is not possible. If I had found out a gold mine, I would not be telling everyone.

Most informations you can get online. But if someone tells you that he´´ll give you the winning numbers of a lottery, it cannot be true. Riches are not easy to come by.

I think there are many people who would like to earn some extra money. All of us hope that the sites will be legit. And gurus tell a soriy of riches we want to believe.

oh yes for sure, all these are scam. but still they continue doing such things. I guess there must be some people who are getting being fooled by them. One should never invest any money in such sits. Trying for free is OK, not costing you money , but yes your time.
