How can someone be so dull with only one head.
I first looked into earning a living online about 5 years ago. Like most people, I just typed "making money online" into google, and an avalanche of opportunities sat before me. I filtered through a few and was spoil't for choice as to which system I was going to use to help me retire by the end of the following week. Must be possible, google sent them to me. Getting excited now.
Within a few hours my spam folder was more compact than Father Christmases belt, overflowing with messages from all these wonderful people from all over the world wanting to make me rich.
After a few days of treating my bank account like it was my worst enemy, I knuckled down to making my first million by tea time, and rocking the number one spot on google. Day 50, was beginning to get the feeling, things was not quite right, DERRR. Wishing I had some one to advise me, as they say two heads are better than one.
I needed help badly. I found someone to coach me. Bought his product was a bit more convincing this time, told me to check him out on google, his name came up on the number 1 spot. great I thought, I've got this internet marketing sough ted. I had some traffic to my site and some clicks from adsense, "AND" my site was number 1 on google, what a result.
I checked out a few reviews, and came across this guy's name, OUCH, I was not a happy man.
It's the number one spot on google is the point I am making, as there was a message yesterday from a fellow WA member who was so pleased of reaching number 1 on google after only about a week. I guessed what he had done, but before I could advise him, I had deleted the message by mistake. He had done exactly what I did, I made a site with lots of cute and colorful ads and banners, and content that didn't really mean anything, as advised by my so called !@?<>!*&*^$£"%!"£$£"!<>:@?>?>:*^&%$ mentor ( I'm not bitter, honest) and a domain name that was too unique, and this was the number one trick. If you have a domain name like "oochy-cawa-reel-with a- secondhand-gudgeon -pin.com" you will get a number one spot, and possibly the only site on the page.
I so hope this fellow WA member gets to read this post, and doesn't get too disheartened and looks at it as a learning curve as I did.
And 5 years on my bank account still has not forgiven me, but thanks to WA I'm not as naive as I was then.

Great post. Have to admit that at first I was leery about reading it but after kind of skimming it (whitch is what I do with a lot of blogs) I started enjoying it. You have a great since of humor. Again, great post
Great post, and I know that many have been there. For me, WA was a place that I could learn how to build my own quality websites on WP, but it has become so much more.
That is some serious cussin'! However painful this was for you, you have made me laugh because of the entertaining way you related it. Sorry for your loss but thanks for the laugh, I needed it!!
Making lite of a bad situation, when you look back, laughing is always the best way. not all bad came out of it, I did gain a lot of experience and knowledge in many areas by it all, I just need to put it all into the right place. Thanks for your comment, take care, Allen.
I have read a lot of story like yours. I think I was extremely lucky, when I started looking, WA was the first one I found, so never been scammed. I always tell people to read at least 10 different reviews on any product they want to purchase.....
Sorry you had such a bad time in the past. I have fallen for a lot of scams, but not on line. I have not gotten rich on everything from, helping people reduce their house payments to vitamins and phone and electric service. So folks can be made to believe anything if they only believe that money is the answer. WA wants you to help people and give them what they are looking for. Only when you help others do you receive . Helping heals the soul. Big difference in mind set. I hope you reach your goals. Good blog.
Allen, the most impotant thing is you
learned a valuable lesson.
Unfortunately like many at a great cost.
However, you are here now!
Great post, thanks for the info and I hope you reach your goals with WA. All the best,
David

At least you kept your sense of humour :). Some of us do have to learn things the hard way before we see the error of our ways. All I can say is, thank God for WA.
Too right
