Is Get Rich Quick real or is it just False Hope?

I'm finding ways to get rich quick but most of what i see online are scams. They seem to be deceiving and impossible. Some people just hype us so that we will give them money as payment for the capital. But the reality is I must recruit other people to also earn money. It seems I am also giving false hope to people I recruit. I also tried article writing and it gives me small earnings because I was just new in article writing. What do you suggest? Do I do network marketing business or just continue writing online articles? The target market of my online articles is the Whole World, but in network marketing I'm trapped to sell products and recruit people to sell products too.

get rich quick, i'm afraid nowadays it's just false hope. you will get rich, but not now, maybe after a few years of hardwork then you can become rich. everybody wants to be rich through the internet, because of the many success stories available now, I myself was once a believer but now, nothing beats hardwork. have a pleasant day francismalz cheers

Anyone can get rich if ever they want too,i just a state of mind why people are not getting rich or wealthy.If you believe in yourself that you get rich you can.Life is a gamble everything is not sure even you apply for a job,you don't know if you get hired but you risk in applying for that job.Waking up early and going to the place you want to be employ and you see lot of applicant with the same wish that we can be hire,in fairness of network marketing which is out right.They are good and you can really earn from them and about recruit,that is all crap excuses to all you don't believe in the system before hardwork is the key to earn money just like your parents but the world change so we need to adopt to the changes.Smart working is now the key to success "leverage" duplicating yourself so that you won't work hard just to each your first million.if you can earn only get one dollar to every friend that you have you sure gonna get near to your million same thing in network marketing.That is leveraging your income.Believe first that you can and you'll surely see the fruit of you labor, and the word would become flesh.Hope you get the drift.

If you think you can earn a dollar from each friend then, lucky for you, as easy as that. But life is not as easy as you think that you can become rich just like that. If that is how you feel noypi, then you go on ahead and do what you think is the best way for you to reach it. I based my statement from personal experience and my way of reaching to a million is different from yours, it all depends on each personal interest. Even if I live in the past, it works for me, and that's the way I to do it. Then if you become rich, comeback to me and I will acknowledge that you were right

I really don't subscribe to the Get Rich Quick idea. Unless you are the lucky one who won the lottery or won a contest which has a low probability to occur. I do believe that hard work and efforts should be put to earn and get rich. Plus, getting rich without the struggle and without putting much effort is not as sweet as having to pass all the difficult times before getting rich. At least, that is my idea of getting rich. There are no shortcuts to life, same as no shortcuts to getting rich. Just stick to the method that you enjoy doing and that you are comfortable with. Focus more on those things and never let yourself be scammed. Just my two cents in here!

Thanks. It's really hard to win the lottery. Yes there are no shortcuts in life. we need to study first in college, then work and earn commissions.

Yes, that is right. There are really no shortcuts in life. But I don't agree that to get rich we need to get a college degree and work and earn commissions. It is just one way of getting rich. There are no shortcuts to getting rich, but there are a lot of other ways to do so. But they are not shortcuts either. They are other paths to riches. It just depends on our discussion which path of getting rich or getting through life will we choose and which path we will put the effort to take into. Some get rich through studying and working, others just by being an entrepreneur and doing businesses, while other go over investing. Others get rich from the hobbies and interests or sports they excel. We have our choices on which path to life we will be going into.

For most people it is false hope. It is very hard to get people to sign up under you, because there are so many scams out there people don't trust any of those get rich quick schemes. Even if the program itelf is not a scam, promoting get rich quick is, becasue it takes a lot of time and effort to build up you internet marketing to the point where it starts bringing in a lot of money.

Unfortunately, anything that claims great earnings too quickly, has less than one percent of a chance of working. There are just a lot of people out there who are promoting things, and there is only going to be the people who are promoting them that are really making any kind of money. Those below them, are just their tools to make money. It is really a shame but there is just a lot of scams and schemes that are polluting the Internet. Granted it is not just the Internet. There are a lot of scams and schemes that are polluting life in general. There are many people out there who are going to say they earn big, but they are going to be exaggerating a great deal of the time. There is some money to be earned but you really do have to work harder than perhaps is sane to do so.

Lol. Getting rich quick is a myth with an exception of a lottery. Do not waste your time looking for them. however, you can become rich if you can take a lot of risk. You need to invest, be it realestate, stocks or forex. The amount of risk(investment) is directly proportionate with your returns. All the best though!!!

For me, I would go a long way to reach there instead of following one's advice which does no guarantee you to materialize. I have tried marketing but I'm afraid to say I have received nothing from them. The fact is, most of the people who promise you heavens are also struggling to sell on their end, and they lure you into their snare to sell on their behave, and mostly you end up doing a free job for them. Article writing is good, although you receive less from it, at least you are sure of what you are doing and sure you will be paid. It takes time for one to realize its fruits.

Getting rich quick is possible, this could be done by making a billion of friends and ask them one by one to donate you 1 peso or .09 dollar. You can make friends by personal meeting or through internet as well. The time period depends how fast you are in making new friends. This is my opinion of getting rich quickly it sounds a mere joke but it could turn to reality, but I never tried it all. Basically, if you push your luck in any internet work online maybe its a very long process to become rich unless you won a lottery.

I am kind of person who wants to get rich quickly. I saw some get rich quick site is what people attached to. I want every thing super quick but I was doubted that when I was into it, I didn't have even a courage to decide what website are deserved to be working at, moreover, they asked us to invest some money in order to get the amount in which for is not equal to get. They seemed to be promising a lot and that was making me in hesitate and that got me asking continuously whether they are real or not. I have tried to join some pay site that pay huge amount of money but I have successfully even read the term. They look uncertain for me so I didn't join to even small investment.

In fact there is no SHORT CUT FOR BECOMING RICH. You need to do some basic things -- Calculated Risk, Sincere Efforts, Straightforwardness (if some good money is made in negative way- THERE WON'T BE PEACE OF MIND), and many other small small intelligent things.

Just remember that there's no such way to get rich quick. Just see the world, you'll see it as fact. Well, maybe there's a way, but it's via lottery or so. And it have no relation with efforts, it just a fortune..

Okay my friend the internet is a POWERFUL tool to earn money online. But you can't get rich fast! Yes you can make a living here but it requires very much a lot of effort! If you want to make a living here i recommend you affiliate marketing, thats when you sell other peoples product online and you get part of the commission for it. There are other ways to earn and yes you can earn writing too but that requires a lot of effort. How come you don't try a site like triond? they pay you when someone views your article. (:

There are so many promises in internet that get rich quickly if you buy there products. It is SCAM. You can use internet by promoting products, and you can earn if someone buy your products. There are so many opportunity in internet to earn money but not so quickly get rich, maybe some.

Hi francismalz, There are certain get rich quick incidents but these are purely based on luck and serendipity. These occasions are like winning the lottery. If you really want to become rich, you really have to start from hard work. In reality, no one quickly gets rich. If he did get rich quickly, he will be such a big spender and all his money will be spent in an instant leaving him with no money again. Usually, those people who win money out of luck and serendipity don't know how to keep and invest their money. Since they were poor before and believed that they are rich because of winning the money, they feel they could afford anything and buy all the things they wanted when they were still poor. Thus, all of these money will automatically be spent, leaving them in the same state they were before. I believe if one wants to become rich and earn a lot, it really must start from work and determination. A lot of billionaires in the world right now actually started from rags. Since money for them is a process that was achieved through hard work and time, they will not simply waste their money because of wants. Instead, they will invest and increase their revenue. They will know how to save and know the real value of money. This is my opinion. Happy mylotting, friend!

The best way to get rich quick is to get married to someone who is rich and then hope they die quickly.

No one can rich quick you should do the work hard and search the other earning site. Mylot is also good to earn money but I think with online income no one can may be rich.
