Hey, That’s Not the Wallet Inspector: A Be Careful Warning of Make Money Online Scams

I’m not big on PSA’s since they don’t generate me any money but since you want to make money online, I’d thought I’d warn you to be careful of a pack of very bad, big bad wolfs. These are the make money online so called gurus and what’s funny about their guruship is 95% of their money is made through selling you shit.  They don’t actually make money themselves.

Oh sure, everything will sound like a sunset on a Hawaiian beach with you and your athletic significant other sipping down fruity pina coladas in your perfectly bronzed skin with somehow no sand on you – but believe me, it’s not.

The make money on the internet industry is filled with a pack of ravenous wolves happily adorned in full nerd gear.  They don’t care if they look stupid, they just want you to hand over $37, $57, $97, or whatever the favorite number of the month club says to charge.  Supposedly 7 is the best number to end with.

You know I actually tried to sell a product 1 time.  I put my heart and soul into that damn ebook.  I made videos, bought a great looking website design, spent about literally 50 hours writing the book and you know how much I sold – 0!  Maybe I was too honest.  Maybe I didn’t charge enough.  No matter how I sliced it, I just ditched it.

The thing about my sales pitch was I didn’t sell a dream.  Rather, I sold my tried-and-true method to making blogs that works for me.  It wasn’t a get rich overnight type of thing.  It was a money will start trickling in in 2 months type of thing.  Not too sexy for people looking for $20 bills to explode all over their face – from out of their laptop screen.

Especially as a beginner to making money online, you need to be leery of anything that sells you on making money online because you don’t need anything yet.  The foundational stuff is free as a bird and before you even go looking for more info or software, you need to know that.

Let me emphasize this: You Don’t Need to Spend Any Money to Make Money Online.  You really don’t.  Now I would buy a domain name and web hosting so I could set up a blog.  Actually, I’d buy 5 domain names so I could set up 5 blogs but that’s all you need. This is different though.  A domain name and web hosting is nuts and bolts type of stuff whereas the scams are the overpriced guide books you see on the shelves.  Let’s go into a convoluted illustration for a second.

Imagine you go into Home Depot to build a bird house.  You get a bird house kit complete with materials and instructions (domain name and web hosting).  When you get to the checkout lane you see a fancy schmancy bird house book on how to paint and build the super-duper best bird house in the world with all the Thanksgiving trimmings you could ever ask for (the scams).

To build a bird house, you really do need to buy the materials but you don’t need the magazine to tell you how to use the materials.  That already comes free.

So I don’t know if that helped you but at least I got to talk about bird houses.  Anyways…

You can always try this with a free blogspot.com blog but I don’t recommend this because you don’t technically own the blog and if they don’t like what you’re doing, they’ll just delete it.  They being Big G.  PS Big G = Google.

So in conclusion, don’t fall for any of the BS.  You don’t need it.  Just start by building some blogs over products.  I make mine over a lot of things, but furniture has been lucrative for me.  If you need help, you can email me – for free.
