Make Money Online? Not!

Want to know what freaks me out? The sheer number of websites that sell "infoproducts" that promise to tell you how to make money online. It's almost like these folks have all drank from the same tainted well. I start reading their pitches, and mental alarms go off as the hairs rise on the back of my neck. Inevitably, my eyes glaze over with disbelief.

Make money online?

Yeah, sure, right, whatever (as my daughter loves to say).

There's no end to this phenomena. The make money online crowd is everywhere. Take a look at the typical online cash website and you'll see the same thing, over and over ...

You've seen it oh-so-many times: the "long sales letter" peppered with an over use of bold text, combined with line after line of red type and yellow highlighting, the photo(un)realistic 3D book renderings, the smattering of testimonials from satisfied customers and industry cronies. And lets not forget the ubiquitous signature at the end of the letter, along with a requisite photograph of the happy author with their expensive European sports car. "Buy now, because the price goes up tomorrow," they crow. "We'll throw in all these amazing extras."

It's formula, folks.

Of course, the usual suspects will tell you that their long sales letters drag in the cash online, day after day. There must be no end to the unwitting.

But there's another class of web surfer. The folks that abhor those techniques ... folks that bail from those pages as fast as they can type a new URL into their browser.

The few, the proud, the not-so-easily duped.

Now don't get me started on the bad Flash money making movies ...
