There are more frustrations than success in finding money online?

Stories abound about bundles of money that could be made from the Internet. But those stories usually come from so-called gurus who peddled ebooks and other materials, which they offer for free, but with a catch: You have to buy something first. Apparently, a lot of surfers looking for that money online fall into this trap, spending hard-earned money. After doing research, however, there seems to be more promise than the expected money online. One blogger even calculates that for every one million individuals looking for that bundles of cash from the Internet, only a few succeed. But not without hard work, which is contrary to what most gurus peddle. How about you, what is your experience?

Yes, Pal!! Too many scams are carry out by con man and woman from internet, nowadays internet had became a convenient and effective tool for these organized crime make up by individual and syndicate to prey on online users, if it seem too good to be true, like making hundred of thousand in a matter of week or month, then chances is it is a scam at work whether it is guru or not. I will personal keep away from it.

Did you also know its mainly just a handful who is in this honored club of so called gurus? They keep coming up with new programs (usually the same, maybe with a new twist) and people keep eating it up. Granted there are some trusted programs out there that require investment. It is just very important to do your research. I don't get burned as I NEVER invest my own money in anything that hasn't paid me first. I make a decent income. But, it has taken years of hard work and dedication. If someone told me I could make a bundle of cash in a short time....I would run very fast in the opposite direction lol.

that's right, workingmom. recycling ebooks, ideas, etc. etc. is the norm this gurus use with a lot of good packaging and seemingly heaven-sent sales pitches. it's good that you are prudent in your dealings when it comes to money... your hard-earned money...
