There is a saying here abbreviated as SOS. That represents Shining Object Syndrome. Beware of getting caught by this.
I had hardly been here a week when the first e-mails started coming into my inbox. (BTW, it made me wonder whether there are spies here for these Gurus?) Gurus are the people trying to sell you these packages.
They were headed by slogans such as “How to make $500-00 a day easily”, “Let us show you how to be the next Internet millionaire”, “Just 3 or 5 or 7 clicks can earn you a fortune”, etc.
They then proceed to show you screenshots of accounts as “proof” of what they are earning, followed by a “demonstration” of how their program works and how easy it is to operate. They tell you that you don’t need any experience; you just need to know how to click with your computer’s mouse.
They go into lengthy brag sessions of the millions they are making off the internet.
If you do not swallow the bait immediately, they offer you “hand-held-training” that is basically about the same topics available on WA but nowhere near as comprehensive. Normally, very superficially presented.
Well, this got me thinking! If I had a system that made me millions, would I just go around handing it out to everyone with, 37, 79, 97 or 997 dollars? (Yes, these are the amounts they charge for their “wisdom”.)
Why would I create a lot of opposition to my very successful business if it is bringing in millions of dollars?
Then they tell you that there is still more. You also need such and such to make your life even easier. You can have all this for only another couple of hundred dollars.
I have read comments by people who actually bought these “Miracle Products” and they all report the same result. No magical earnings achieved and no response from the sellers when approached about this.
There are no shortcuts to building an Internet Marketing Business! You have to understand the basic workings and do the initiating work yourself. Otherwise you will not see any results.
WAU already offers you all this needed information. All you need to do is learn it, apply it and keep on trying. Yes, there are some speed bumps along the way, but nothing life threatening. If you are determined and steadfast, you will see results.
Here’s to your success, and be careful out there!
