So you are poor, have 9 kids, one of them needs a new leg, your mom has cancer and needs money or she will die.
I know because I receive emails from people like this everyday. They want to learn this new “gold rush” called Internet marketing.
They want to live the “dot com lifestyle”? After all it seems pretty awesome huh? I mean all this stuff seems so cool:
The stone cold truth is most people who turn to making money online are already in a bad financial situation.
- You get to choose what hours you work.
- You get to choose where you work.
- Have the freedom to take as much time off as you want.
- Make money while you sleep.
But, what people don’t tell you is most affiliate/blogger/Internet marketers fell into it... or they come from a lot of family money already.
People create products knowing that there is a very small chance that they will succeed.They search the Internet for “Making Money From Home Without Any Work Or Money,” after they just got an advance on their pay check at 80% interest, took it to the bingo parlor, then saved just enough to buy a couple pack of smokes and a 10 pack of lottery tickets.
The system is designed to profit off of these people. But don’t hate the player...
Unlike Internet marketing products, there are a TON of business models that are designed from the beginning to prey on the poor with a MUCH smaller chance of success. Much smaller.
- The Lottery - don’t get me started. This is fucked...
- Cigarettes - This would have been outlawed a long time ago if politicians didn’t make so much money from lobbyists.
- Religion - The richest businesses in the world are non-profit religious orgs.
- Pay Day Loans - what wealthy person gets a payday loan?
- The Tax Structure - This cracks me up how politicians promise the poor lower taxes, it works every time. But, the more money I make the less I pay in taxes. I think last year I paid less than 20% income tax. I love politicians.
