WebCruncherMonsterIncomeMaker

We all want to think people have only the best motives and intentions. Sadly, all too often, they don’t, they are only doing what they are doing for their personal gain, increasing their bank accounts and they could care less whether you succeed or not. And on the subject of Internet marketing, they only want you to buy their latest e-Book or software.

But you see, they have the PERFECT market, people that want more money, that want their own business, or so they think, what they really want is the money. Most people have no idea how to run any kind of business, online or offline and even if they do, they don’t have the time to do it.

This perfect market exist because of predictable human nature, people continue to believe, they want to believe, that they can spend $97 for the latest e-Book and become wealthy. No one would ever admit or even think of themselves as naïve or gullible, but to believe that anyone will become wealthy by simply buying a $97 e-Book is, well, just not realistic… I’ll leave it at that.

Yet, time after time, people continue to buy the latest e-Book or software download and if it has the word SECRET in the title, they can’t wait to have it. After all they are the Gurus, the experts; they must know what they are talking about.

Are you making any money online? And if you are, what do you REALLY make? After all your expenses; buying domain names, domain hosting, buying e-mail lists, autoresponders, etc, etc…. and the hours and hours you spend at your computer, how much do you REALLY make a month?

It isn’t because they don’t want to, it is simple, there is so much confusing, conflicting and misleading information and there is only so much time, especially if you are working full-time at a full-time job.

You get so many e-mails you can’t read them all, each of them promising a home business "opportunity", MLM or Affiliate program that sounds so good, then once you lay down your credit card and sign-up for "the greatest thing since sliced bread" you discover that either the "opportunity" wasn't what it said it was at all or after doing everything your were supposed to, you made not one nickel.

OR how about the “replicated” business, it is already set-up for you, you just pay a monthly membership fee. Does it occur to you that there are thousands of other sites that look exactly like yours, that’s called competition and unless you have thousands of dollars to spend on marketing, you will fail.

The unfortunate part about the Internet is that there is so much misleading information, yet people can’t wait to buy the latest “SECRET”, or “WebCruncherMonsterIncomeMaker” software, even if they have no idea what it really does, or if they buy it, how to use it. It will be added to all the other e-Books and software that clutters their hard drive, which they never read or used.

But people continue to search for the dream, the hope of becoming wealthy.

That is how these guys sell their products, GREAT COPYWRITING; it is a classic example of selling the “Sizzle”, not the steak. People “buy” not the actual product, they buy what they are lead into believing what it will do for them, make them wealthy.

The Internet is full of these "Master Marketers", no; that sounds too much like a compliment, they are “Masters of Deceit” They want your money and that is all they care about. And they come back to you, time and time again, with some new lame named product or e-Book or better yet "Secret".

The World Wide Web is littered with abandoned sites, just out there and woefully out of date. These “Ghost” sites were created by someone for some reason; more times than not it was a money-making site of one kind or another and was the key to their fortunes. These sites remain frozen in time.

One study of 3,634 blogs found that two-thirds had not been updated for at least two months and a quarter not since Day One.

Like many others who enthusiastically start Web sites and Web journals known as Blogs, people lost interest. The Internet's novelty wore off and they never made any money. "I've also got a full-time job and a part-time job and I like to sleep." … or “I'm have been to too busy, but I'll get back to it,' but never do"

Sound familiar?
