I had the opportunity to attend a webinar for Secret Traffic Solutions on Monday the 19th of Sept (2011). I don’t usually have time to watch these things but something in the email I received caught my eye. I knew this was a complete scam about twenty minutes into the ~50 minute presentation but sat [...]

Government Grants and Giveaways I have not ran into one of these things that aren’t at least semi-shady. For one thing, if you really want a government grant the information is all over the Internet and is free!!! Get off your lazy butt and type "government grant" into Google and see what you find (ignoring [...]

Membership sites As with the free-to-join programs, membership sites are a mixed bag of very few legitimate sites along with a ton of sites that are designed to do nothing but collect your money each and every month. The worst ones are nearly impossible to cancel sometimes taking 3-4 months before they finally stop charging [...]

Free To Join (or any free e-book type offerings) I’m a little hesitant to mention these here because there are some very legitimate free-to-join programs and some free e-books that have true value. I even promote some of these myself. But there are also enough scams out there using these methods that I have to [...]

HYIP (high yield investment programs) They are also sometimes called auto-surf programs just to get away from the bad name HYIP is starting to generate. These things are HIGHLY illegal!!! Don’t even consider putting ANY money into these!!! If you really have that kind of money to waste please just send me an email telling [...]

Traffic Generation/Advertising Sites Now I’m not talking about traffic exchanges and such here. I love traffic exchanges and safe-lists! I know there are many out there that would argue about the effectiveness of these things but I’ve had excellent results with them. You just have to approach them from a different angle than normal advertizing [...]

Doublers, Triplers, etc. The vast majority of these are illegal! But there are always exceptions to the rule. Some will offer a product or service to get around the legal loopholes but this still doesn’t make them a solid business opportunity. The problem is that these things, even if they are borderline legal, are impossible [...]

Retail Sales There are tons of real products you can find to sell on the Internet. Books, meat, perfumes, health aids, weight loss products, and practically anything else you can think of. These are ALL legitimate products. But unless you are a savvy salesman with lots of experience selling products over the Internet you are [...]

Get A Site Just Like This One If you’ve been looking into marketing online I’m sure you’ve seen lots of variations on these. Some have affiliate products for sale (with your affiliate links embedded in the page), others are just for Adsense revenue (which Google has already cracked down on!), and still others have a [...]

$100,000 in Four Months or Pay Nothing This is another one of those "to good to be true" opportunities. That should tell you right off the bat if it’s to good to be true, it usually is! The deal here is they promote your program and if you don’t make $100,000 in four months they [...]
