When we first start to look for ways to make money online, we are enticed by promises of 'Easy Money' and hype that states "Make money without doing anything at all - we promote for you".
Thinking that marketing online must be a 'piece of cake', we eagerly jump on board with both feet! Then we keep checking those statistics that we were promised would grow with no effort on our part. After two or three months of this, (or sooner if we are smart...) we realize that something just is not right!
One of two things probably happened...
- We failed to read the fine print that said they would not promote for us unless we were upgraded members of the opportunity (I Call That A Gotcha!).
- We failed to read the part where they would promote only after we had taken some form of action that either cost us money, or took time and effort that negated the promise of "no work" on our part (another Gotcha!).
BIG SURPRISE! - They lied...
Fact #1: There are NO free rides in internet marketing!
Anyone expecting something for nothing is either extremely naive, or is living on another planet! We all need to understand something very basic here...no one is online to be charitable when it comes to marketing opportunities. Everyone wants to make money. They either make the money when you join, or, after you join for free, by sharing in commissions you make on your sales of products or membership upgrades.
Can you make money in a Free-To-Join opportunity?
Yes, and No...it depends on the opportunity, and how you look at it. I have joined lots (hundreds actually) of opportunities, and have upgraded in a few that actually work, and can make money. Marketing online has a learning curve to it, and everyone must learn certain things in order to be successful. That is why I have started this blog. I want beginning marketers to have a place to come for tips and reviews of opportunities so they don't waste time and money looking where their chances at financial success are slim to none.
