Do You Actually Ever Get Anything From This

I just received another one in my inbox today. The link in the email when clicked takes you to a site with a picture of some guy standing in front of a nice house with a great car and you hear this audio of him saying how much money you will make with his program and why this works and the others don't. He told me why MLM doesn't work, Why gifting doesn't work, and why these very high ticket items don't work. In the end he says he has a program for everybodys budget, one that is $1,000, the other is $297 and the final one is just $14.95. Everybody has a point where they will part with some of there money in the hopes that they are going to make so much more.

Is there actually a product here or is everybody just throwing money into the wind in the hopes that their money will be returned to them in a greater number? Is it true, "There is one born every minute"? These people are going to spend this money anyways whether it be on a vacation, a concert, of drugs and alcohol but with whats going around these days is that there is hope that you will get more money back than you invested..

Lets look at all these programs and opportunities one at a time. With MLM, these products can be bought at the local Wal-Mart. You can by any vitamin at a local GNC but with the MLM you get this stuff automatically shipped to you every month. If you are one of the 'distributors' then you have to commit to getting like $100 of this product every month and most of it will just build up in supply in the back of a closet or a part of your garage. There are other products besides health products with MLM. A friend of mine is involved in this one company that sells healthy organic pet foods. These are the same products that can be obtained from Petsmart. I can see where this would be great for pet owners that don't live near a Petsmart but what about everybody else?

Now lets look at these companies that sell this opportunity that allows everybody to have a site where they can sell products from Wal-Mart, JCPenny, and Cub Foods and earn a commission on everything that is sold throughout their site. You pay only $1000 to get this site built for you with all these products. Basically what you are paying for is the opportunity to be able to sell products from major retailers and earn a whole 3% commission. In reality if I am going to sell their products then they should pay me for this privilege.

Now remember the old chain letter schemes. These days they are not much different except the internet is used and instead of it only costing you maybe $20 you are now looking at what is called gifting and the amount is $1000 plus. I remember these old chain letters sending $5 to 4 people asking to be added to their mailing list. Now everything is gifting. You start with a gift of $1,000 and you invite people to these calls where they hear about all these people making $10,000 plus. The excitement on the call is what gets newbies to want to get in on this. Several opportunities like this were GasUp USA, another one called MyCashBiz and so on.

What it all boils down to with all these programs is that its all a numbers game. In the old days your target were just people in your own home town but now because of the Net you can recruit people from all over the world. These days there is a lot of these Nigerian Scams out in the world and the numbers are growing. They figure that if they don't get your money then somebody else will eventually so why not let it be them. We are all suckers looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

They say that the United States is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. How much of that wealth was obtained legitimately? Are we the county of all the worlds best con men? I, myself, have a hard time doing anything that will disturb my being able to sleep peacefully at night. I am bothered that I may end up living a life of poverty because I don't want to get ahead by ripping of others.

I do believe that there are honest ways to make money with the net like providing a service or a product that fills a need without taking advantage of the lack of intelligence of other people. Like maybe selling Audiobooks via the net. Some people in rural outlying areas may not have the convenience of being able to go to their local Barnes and Noble to pick one of these up. Their only option at the time is mail order. By giving them access through the web and the ability to download what they just purchased is a service that they don't have available to them right now.
