Free money or the ATM syndrome

I did some searching with Google and Yahoo the other day for methods promising people that they can earn money for Free – no money out of their pocket…

I can't believe how many 'systems' there are!

These programs exist, and yes you can make money – but the money you have the ability to make is just peanuts. Seriously!

If this is what you are looking for – you won't find it here!

The thing about making money is that there is such thing as a free lunch! This really is true… and unless you are prepared to think about earning money as a business, you are doomed to fail – and it will really hurt! How do I know? I've watched dozens of people do it…

Here's the thing – in order to make money anywhere you will need to several things, and if someone is offering you a free lunch, then chances are that they are the ones who will profit and not you!

Think of it this way…

Most of these programs are captive – meaning that the creator of the product and marketing system owns everything. The only thing that they offer to you is a small commission for every sale that you generate. Usually you need to find people to send to their web site and they forbid you from setting up your own sites to market their products. They own the list(s), the product, and the whole system…

Say you send 100 people to this site who sign up to receive more information. You cannot market other products or services to these people because you do not have control of the list!

Actually you will put a lot of work into these programs and if you are successful and you do generate some income, great – you will have to keep active and keep producing to continue to receive an income from that program. Now what happens when you decide to do something else – you can't take any of those people with you – they are owned by the program producers.

As an example – the NM companies I worked for got the benefit of my labor when I left – They got to keep those thousands of people who I recruted, and the sales they are generating are now paying those who were above me!

Now if that were my own company – my list – I could market to them anything that I wanted and continue to make money from their purchases for as long as they stayed in my downline or on my customer list.

I would encourage you to think about this whole thing and maybe adjust your paradym – so many people are set up to fail because they want everything for nothing. They beleive that if they buy a $97course to show them how to make money, all that they have to do is buy the program – and the money will come spitting out like an ATM!

The only way to create real wealth is to have a business plan – it doesn't matter what you are going to sell or do, you need to have a plan.

I will tell you more as we go forward…

To your continued success,
