Moving on past my "paid surveys experiment" I, once again, started poring over emails. About 75 a day were showing up in my inbox and spam folders. Some days I would spend three or four hours just reading email. Naturally, all of them were from websites making money. Where were these "internet marketers" getting my email address? Took me a while to learn that information.
I would say at least 95% of my email was pure scam and spam. The 95%'ers were promising me thousands of dollars a month in passive income but, I had to sign up quick. These so called websites making money were very colorful, flashy, and sometimes a bit to loud. They're all jumping on the video bandwagon and some people should not be seen or heard. I'm an old middle-aged reprobate who prefers to read. I retain the written word much better than the spoken.
The websites promising the largest income were almost always free until, you clicked the sign up link. Then the real BS would start. Upgrade to this or that, triple your income by doing so, or at least that's what the sales pages promised.
After about a week of this nonsense, I started receiving a different kind of email. The ones listing sites that were pure scams. Checking out a few of these eliminated most of the sites that were bombarding me daily with income producing offers. Especially the data processing scam that is still ongoing. I never bothered with those anyway. Our best data processors at my former place of work made about $12 to $15 an hour. I hope no one reading this fell for that $3500 a week stuff by data processing. Ain't gonna happen.
Getting back to the websites devoted to listing scams. A lot of those are scams. I really got into those sites because I had to learn what to stay away from. Being new to internet sales marketing, I had no idea what was genuine and what was fake. So now, I was spending a lot of time reading reviews about various websites making money and whether they were legit or not. But, the fact of the matter is, most of these websites are nothing more than shills for a particular webmaster paying for a great review. I found this out by emailing one of the so called scam reporters concerning a great review he had given a site that was getting blasted as a scam by most everyone else. He thanked me for the email, promised he would investigate further and get right back to me. Five months later I'm still waiting.
My internet sales marketing education continues. I will develop my own websites making money. People are getting it done everyday. The learning curve is huge but, devoting hours everyday,(did I mention I'm unemployed?)and a regular work schedule, I'm s-l-o-w-l-y but surely getting there.
To your success
