You know it’s funny. I’m making so much money online that I can’t believe it’s true. These internet gurus out there who sell all those money making programs are right. I’m about to quit my job because of them and spend most of my time at the gym and on the beach this summer. I might even cruise down to some of the islands—maybe even take a stroll through Hawaii. My Paypal account is about ready to explode. What a great life! Now really. If you believe the last paragraph, I have some good swamp land that I want to sell you. And I can give it to you for a tad less than three thousand per acre. Come on folks! Take it from me. I spent about six months or more researching just about everything out there on building home-based businesses, internet marketing, website publishing—you name it. I’ve written three eBooks, two of which are educational and one of which is self-help. I belong to several so called “hot” affiliate programs. I’ve tried CPC advertising, website advertising, article writing, web hits purchases...let me see, what else? Hmmm. I have to think for a minute, there’s so much I’ve done. Yet all told, I’ve probably made less than ten dollars so far. And if you count my expenses, I’m in the red a few hundred. I don’t think I can stop working just yet. Now either I’m very dumb or very naive or both. I would be happy if I could just make some money, considering that I’ve written what I consider some helpful ebooks. For this reason, I feel it would be nice if I could garner some of the fruits of all my hard labor and be able to defray some of my ordinary living expenses by making some money from my website and my writings. Yet very little seems to trickle in. The sad part is that I would love to help educate some really poor children in underdeveloped countries by donating portions of my ebook sales but alas no revenue is coming in. How sad. So those of you who are reading this beware before you start plopping down your money to buy that next hot internet marketing program. Remember. The ones who are quitting their jobs are the ones who are sucker-ing enough of us into buying their worthless programs. Caveat emptor.
