So You Wanna Get Rich With Your Internet Home Business

by Michel Richer
Everyday people ask me if they will make money with the internet. Of course
i said. But it takes times and determination. You cannot expect to make a
six figure income in just 30 days. But you can make a six figure income in 2
to 3 years working part time. Do you think your job at the factory gonna
give you more for your money and time than this ?

It takes an average of one year to start seeing the result of your effort in
the internet. Thats a pretty small price to pay for this huge market.It
takes time to develop a business plan. It takes time to know wich products
sells best and wich advertising give you the highest return on your
investment (ROI).

It took me one month just to know how to use Google Adwords effectively. I
had to take the time. But know it pays out a lot with a CTR and conversion
rate of 70%. Anything worthwhile takes sustained effort. If you're not
thinking long term, you've set yourself up for failure. REPEAT: If you're
not thinking long term, you've set yourself up for failure. I can't
emphasize this enough!!!!

But let's look at some real examples and see if we can put some perspective
on this. I'll start with myself. My success as a home business entrepreneur
is well known. Having earned over $8 million, I'm sure there are some who'd
vote me in to the Home-Business Hall of Fame if there were such a thing. Yet
what most of those same people don't know is that I LOST money my first two
years. I only broke even in my third year. And it was only when I got to my
fourth year did I see my first profit. Was it worth it? Are you kidding?!!
Today I live a dream life, work from my dream home, drive my dream car-I'm
blessed beyond my wildest expectations.

In other words, even the most dynamic, highest-earning entrepreneurs in the
industry took MONTHS to begin seeing an income of any real significance. And
the real wealth, the $100,000+ income we all strive for, took an average of
almost THREE YEARS to achieve!

Do you think ANY of these gentlemen don't think the ends justified the
means? Do you think for an instant that the months and years invested hasn't
been rewarded a thousand times at least? You don't even have to think about
it, do you?

If I told you that after two to three years of following our system, you'd
be making more in a month than you now make in a year, could you handle
that? If you were sitting across from me right now, I could look you in the
eye and tell you that this is a genuine and realistic goal. But when you say
to me you want to quit your job in six or nine months and live off the
income from your new business, I'll tell you that probably is not reality.

Not what you wanted to hear, right? But is what I'm suggesting so tough to
swallow? Of course not. Can you think of any other endeavor where you could
invest just five to 10 hours a week for a couple years and at the end of
that time have turned it into a $3,000 to $10,000 residual monthly income
stream? Money that keeps coming in month after month, year after year. Money
that keeps coming in whether you work 10 hours a day or two. A commission
check waiting for you in your mailbox when you return from yet another
vacation. Money that when you've left this planet continues to provide for
your spouse, children, or grandchildren.

Sounds extremely nice, doesn't it? But again, these are not things you're
going to see in your first year. It just ain't gonna happen, folks! Some of
you, the go-getters, you WILL see it happen in your second year. For most of
you, however, you need to be thinking two to five years. And you know what?
When you get there, I guarantee you, you'll say it was nothing!

We reap what we sow, but the harvest is never in the same season as the
planting! Today you are planting...and will be at least for the next several
months. Your harvest will come in time. Be persistent. Be patient. Think
long term. Take action every day, (no matter how small) to build your
business and you cannot fail. Great success will be yours if you follow this
simple formula.

So You Wanna Get Rich With Your Internet Home Business

The Dirty Dozen
The FTC has identified its "Dirty Dozen". These are the twelve scams most likely to arrive via bulk e-mail or in newsgroups. Here are the "dirty dozen" and a brief explanation of why each is a scam:

Business Opportunities Scams:
These offers make it sound like it is very easy to start a business that will earn piles of money without much work, selling or cash. Many of these "opportunities" are actually illegal pyramid schemes or frauds that are masquerading as legitimate opportunities to earn money.

Make Money by Sending Bulk E-mail:
These solicitations offer to sell you bulk e mail lists (consisting of millions of e mail addresses), spam software (usually very poor in quality), or services to send spam on your behalf. Don't do this.

Chain Letters:
No list of scams would be complete without this old "favorite" - e mail style. Here you're asked to send a small amount of money (or some item) to each of four or five names at the top of the list, and then forward the message including your name at the bottom, via bulk e mail. Many of these letters claim they are legal - they are not. Further, nearly everyone who participates in these chain letters loses money. Even if there is a "product" such as a report on how to make money, it does not make these schemes legal.

Work-At-Home-Schemes:
The most common work-at-home scam promises that you'll earn money for stuffing envelopes. For example, you're promised you'll earn $2.00 for every envelope you stuff. In fact, there never is any real envelope stuffing employment available. Instead, you pay to register and then you're instructed to send the same envelope-stuffing ad via bulk e mail to others. The only money you can earn would come from others who fall for the scam and pay to register. Finally, if you did actually do work for one of these outfits (for example, some promise to pay you for craft work), they'd refuse to pay you and say your work didn't measure up to their "quality standards."

Health And Diet Scams:
These are similar to the miracle cures offered off-line: ways to lose weight without eating less or exercising, "scientific breakthroughs," "secret formulas" which provide cures for hair loss, and herbal formulas that liquefy fat cells so that they are absorbed by your body. These scams often include testimonials from "famous" medical experts you haven't heard of. Of course, these gimmicks don't work.

Effortless Income:
The newest version offers get-rich-quick schemes to make unlimited profits exchanging money on the world currency markets. There are lots of variants, but they all promise vast riches with no work. Beware of these scams.

Free Goods:
These offers promise expensive items such as computers... for free. They ask you to pay a fee to join, and then you have to bring in a certain number of other members. Many of these scams are just disguised pyramid schemes.

Investment Opportunities:
These scams promise outrageously high returns...and of course, there is "no risk." Many of these scams are illegal Ponzi schemes, in which early investors are paid with the money from later investors. This gives the early investors the illusion that the system works and they are then encouraged to invest more money (which they eventually lose). The sales pitches for these offers include claims of high-level financial connections, that the promoters are privy to inside information, or promises that they'll guarantee the investment. The promoters are long gone if you try to take advantage of their "guarantees."

Cable De-Scrambler Kits:
These scams offer kits or information on how to receive cable transmissions without paying any subscription fees. There are two problems with these offers: 1) the kits and information don't work; and 2) even if they did work, it is illegal to steal service from cable television companies. Further, many cable companies have aggressively been prosecuting cable service theft.

Guaranteed Loans or Credit, or Easy Terms Scams:
There are lots of variants of this scam: home equity loans that don't require any equity in your home, loans regardless of your credit history, offshore bank loans, credit cards regardless of your credit history, etc. Sometimes these offers are combined with pyramid schemes that offer to pay you for attracting other participants to the scheme. However, they are scams - the loans don't come through, you are turned down unless you meet stringent requirements, or the credit cards simply don't arrive.

Credit Repair Scams:
These scams promise to erase accurate negative information from your credit file so that you can now qualify for loans, mortgages, or credit cards. The promoters of these scams cannot deliver. Further, if you follow their advice and lie on a loan or credit application, misrepresent your Social Security number, or get an Employer Identification number from the Internal Revenue Service under false pretenses, you will be committing fraud and violating federal laws. Don't fall for this scam.

Vacation Prize Promotions:
Last, but not least, is a scam in which you receive electronic verification congratulating you because you've "won" a fabulous vacation, or you've been "specially selected" for this opportunity. The "deluxe cruise ship" may well be more like a tugboat, upgrades can be very expensive, and hotel accommodations are likely to be very shabby.

The punch line... which you've heard from us many times before... If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Further, don't buy anything via bulk e-mail (spam). Your chances of being scammed are astronomical.
