Scams

I know what DOESN’T WORK, at least not for me. I’ve tried several online opportunities this year that didn’t make me a dime. One was Data Money Online. This was a site where you filled in their forms and got a Clickbank URL for a specific company that was selling an information product. Then you created an ad for the product with the help of another form and supposedly had that ad submitted to over a thousand classified sites. I partnered with over 100 companies and created unique ads for each of them and you know how many sales I made in over a month? One (A natural cure for moles) and I was the person who bought it! The other company was Maverick Money Makers. They had big promises also if you followed their step-by-step instructions. I did and once again wasted my time and over $150 on marketing. Fortunately they offered a money back guarantee and at least lived up to that promise.

One thing I didn’t do with Maverick Money Makers was check to see if it was a scam. After checking my Clickbank account and seeing no money there I googled Maverick Money Makers to find several articles on them as a scam including a seven minute YouTube video! Boy did I feel stupid! Whenever you feel like getting involved in a new business adventure, do yourself a favor. Go to Google and type in the name of the business with the word “scam” and see what comes up. If they’ve ripped people off or it doesn’t live up to the hype, people will write about it on Google!
