      If they did work, most everyone that is trying to make money on the internet would already be rich.

      You need to take most of the hype with a grain of salt. There are some good offers out there. But the ones that promise instant riches bear looking at through a telescope.

      BTW, most of these offers do have a money back guarantee. If they sell through clickbank, the guarantee is pretty safe, paypal, you might have some recourse.

      Just be carefull what you decide to jump into. I noted that you said you were ready to work 10 hours a day if you could be guaranteed the profits. I would guess that if you actually applied yourself to the basics 10 hours a day, you would in fact reach your goal.

    They dont work but on the other hand making money online is real and possible. Most gurus and people who sells these schemes makes money from selling the schemes rather than from practising them.

    No one can guarantee anyones success except yourself. If you put in more work the right way and focus with no distractions you can do well on the other hand if you keep following shiny staffs well you wont do that well.

    Make your first $100 then $1000 etc before you even think of making $100 000, making your fisrt $1000 is harder than moving from making $10 000 to $25 000.

    Hope you take action to guarantee your own success and dont rely on other people to determine your success or failure.

    Good luck.

      They might work for about 1-2 percent.

      Does the same diet work for everyone who tries it?

      If you and I were sat down and told to make a website in 10 hours or what ever, what do you think would happen?

      Our skill sets are surely very different. Our added knowledge of some minor details of the site is also different. The niches we might choose are likely going to be different - and the best way to monetize each of those will be different. Materials we would need to find to make the sites may be easy for me or hard.

      So, I do think these things can work but unfortunately there are other factors with each individual that get in the way.

      Another issue that arises is that while going through a course, we start to analyze parts or pieces and wind up straying away from the simple tasks we were supposed to initially follow. I am certainly guilty of that.

      My easiest money was found when I didn't know what the hell I was doing, lol. I followed to a T a plan and didn't know better.

      Over time I have bamboozled myself into complicating matters and over thinking some things.

      Took me some time to realize I was doing this.

      Now I'm at a point where I try to see the plan for what it is, but from experience I can identify possible pitfalls quickly and ask the creator of a product if that is something I should be weary of.

      How long a website takes to make is one thing. How long it takes to create an entire business funnel is another. And how long it takes to wait for conversions which can then be modified for better conversions - well there are too many factors.

      Have I personally spent just a few hours to make several thousand? Yes. So I know it can be done.

      Should you spend only a few hours to make several thousand and will you have the same results?

      Again, it will happen but the wind needs to be blowing the right way and you need to not be afraid to jump in the cold water if you really want to find out if it will work for you.

        Do placebos such as sugar pills work? According to a percentage given them in double blind studies where neither the researcher nor the subject knows whether they're getting something that may be beneficial, versus the worthless sugar pill, they do (and in numbers greater than 1-2%).

        The upshot of the Placebo is you don't have to spend 10 hours of work and X hundreds of dollars to discover its nothing but a sugar pill. You pay nothing or they pay you to be the guinea pig.

        Though given the fact that most diet pills are also total bunk, that analogy is just as fitting.

        The person who can make 1k/month with 10 hours work doesn't need a WSO to do it. Those who do aren't going to achieve it in 10 hours.

        Spend your money on lotto tickets. Its cheaper and your odds of winning are better.

    The catch is that those ten hours have to be invested over the course of three months...

    guarantee me, i will make $365k by July 4th, 2012...
    ...and that's why this guarantee can't be made.

    It's not that people aren't willing to put in the ten hours. It's that they don't want to put in the three months. Faire de la bonne cuisine demande un certain temps. The package says ten minutes at 300 degrees, and five at 600 is not going to get you the same result.

    I tell people over and over again "pick something, and do that for ninety days." You might want to work hard NOW, but you won't want to work hard when you're three weeks in and haven't made a dime. You'll look back over that 200 hours of effort and say "it's all just a big waste of time." Even if you don't, chances are your family and friends will.

    And for the first several efforts, you'll be doing it wrong, so any plan to come out of the gate building 90 sites basically guarantees that you're going to build 90 crap sites that suck because you don't know what you're doing.

    It's one thing to walk away from one site that you wasted 20 days on because you did stuff wrong, but another thing entirely to walk away from almost a hundred of them.

    That's why people tell you to start slow, make small investments, and spend your time learning instead of trying to make it happen NOW.

    There's another camp saying "TAKE MASSIVE ACTION," and I used to be one of them, but we have some pretty big ups and downs. The success rate on massive action is low, so you have to walk away from a lot of work far too often for my taste.

    In general, that group is quick to say "I made almost $10k this month" like I did in January, but they're not so quick to say "I made less than $500 this month" like I did in April. You get a flawed impression of how they're doing because they only open their mouths when things are going well.

    If I never told people when I had a rough month, I'd pop up every few months and wave $8k around, and you'd think I was making six figures a year. Some people still do, even when I tell them outright that my average monthly income is between $2k and $3k, and most of that is because of how the big months spread out across the year.

    Most ignorance is willful. You can lead a man to reason, but you can't make him think.

    Ninety days. Pick something, anything, and do it for ninety days.

        2. Get affiliates to promote for you
        3. Put the buyers on a list
        4. Rinse and repeat

        without a note written at the bottom : Results may vary....
        Oh, okay.

        1. Do nothing

        You will gradually lose all your money and become destitute.

        This is the only thing that always works exactly the same way.

        Everything varies. I'm putting up a niche blog today based on some methods taught by Shawn Anderson; here's his WSO:

        http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...00-bill-7.html

        One of the components of this system is to write articles.

        Well, I used to charge $50 for a 500 word article as a freelancer. Do you think someone from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia who took a four-month class in English will write the same kind of articles?

        Hell, no.

        Do you think maybe that will affect how much money we make?

        Hell, yes.

        Do I expect to have the same income from my blog that Shawn gets from his? Of course not. Do I have some sort of problem with that? Of course not. Am I going to do nothing because Shawn can't guarantee me what will happen?

        Of course not.

        The best thing you can do is the right thing. The second-best thing you can do is the wrong thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.

        Every single person here started out overwhelmed and confused by all the conflicting reports of what you could do to make money online. And the ones who actually made some money just picked one.

        It took me a year and a half to get to a reasonable income online, and I could have done it faster if... and this is a big if... if I could have known what I know now when I first started. And that's the four steps I gave you up top. It took me about six months to catch onto each of them.

        But what works for me might not work for you. And as you can tell from my niche blog activities, just because one thing is working doesn't mean I'm not going to use others.

      This is extremely true! In my opinion, this is the one thing that distinguishes people that crack it in IM and people that don't.
      The guys that hang in there and commit to it for a decent length of time are the ones that actually eventually make a living out of it.

      It's an old story but we all know Edison failed with his first 1,000 light bulbs before inventing a successful one. Imagine he had quit? Try to remember that next time you're feeling despondent about IM

    Actually ... nothing works. Sig links don't work, as you've already noted, WSOs don't work, as you suspect. Affiliate marketing is dead. The Internet is dead. Email marketing ... gone ... dead.

    People work and some work brilliantly and successfully. Only you have the power to build a website that will put you on easy street. Many courses can lead you in the right direction, but if you want a hand holding step by step blueprint .... they're dead.

      If you've been around since the earliest days of the Internet, there is actually some truth to this statement. There are so many websites trying to push the same products (both physical and intangible) that unless you have a truly unique item or a magic SEO touch, you are probably doomed.

      I also have a suspicion that the age of a website is going to become a major factor as time goes by, so noobs will have a harder time ranking. I've noticed that younger, better executed websites can't topple my 12 year old money site , nor can they get anywhere near the front page. I don't take any special credit--a lot of it was luck in the timing.

      BTW, you can add to the above list:
      • Niche Marketing - How many niche's do you think are really undiscovered at this point in the game? Yes, new products by major manufacturers, but the long tail keywords are exploited pretty quickly. My hat is off to those of you with lightning reflexes!
      • Backlinks - Believe it or not, Google has recognize the abuse in this longtime White Hat technique and is moving away from it as a major ranking factor. Do the research.
      • Kindle ebooks - These are next, as Amazon already acknowledged the problem.
      • Article Marketing and Spinning - (Not worth commenting)
      • Auto Blogs - (ditto)
      Google is getting the upper hand on spamming the net, link wheels, link farms, content farms, scraping, Black Hat in general. You can probably come up with a new techniques, but if you've been around long enough it is obvious that the life cycle of new approaches is getting shorter and shorter.

      Ultimately, it's going to come down to selling something that has real value (probably not an eBook, sorry to say) along with a quality website and social network. If the product is really good, it will have a self-generating social following after the initial campaign.

      I've made a lot of money selling digital products (non IM), but I believe that they are past their prime. The reason is similar to why magazines and newspapers are suffering--there is just so much high quality information on the internet and it's all free. You can still make money with digital products, but not large amounts.

    Why spend 10 hours on a website when you can do it all automated lol ...

    I'll spend 1 hour on a website and depending on the niche it can make 1-5k per month.

    Aside from CDarklock's kind of freaky picture and username, I found his posts EXTREMELY on-point and was physically nodding my head while reading them.

    We started off as a side-project to help bring in extra income as we'd just lost a few contracts with our outsourcing company. We made less than $60, I think, the first month and my business partner, Joe, was shaking his head at me. We made just under $200 the next month, just under $500 in February...all the way to June where we made right around $7,500 on the project.

    If we would have quit at the end of December like so many others, we would have never realized some success and would have just dumped it.

    We give our entire process away for free on our website. (Don't knock it because it's free...we could have wrapped it up in a WSO, for sure, but would rather bank on the long-term value of making connections instead of customers) You can act or not...your choice...but, again, stick with it for 90 days....

    I've done it, so my 'scheme' obviously works ($1k a month website built in 10 hours). No one can guarantee that YOU will be able to do it though. Even if you use someone else's exact method there are alot of variables involved - the product you choose, your keywords, how you write your presell, where you get your traffic etc.

    When you buy a WSO and follow it you may well be successful (you might even do better than the WSO writer). Then again, it might not work for you at all - one tiny piece of the puzzle missing could be enough to throw you off track.

    I would never make a guarantee like that, because you don't know how much the buyers are going to work on it.

    Then again, 99% of buyers will buy it, say "that's AWESOME", then go buy another.

    I know I'm guilty of it sometimes, and so are hundreds or even thousands of other Warriors.

    NO... These programs don't work like they say they do, but yes they can work but no they won't work. Why? They are made to propel excitement in you and you'll quickly find out that when everything boils down these wso's are nothing more than pretty affiliate products and the people behind them aren't making the type of money they claim you can make. $365k... Listen I've made over $100k already this year and I can give you step by step on how to do it but NO ONE can guarantee that you will be successful, not even me. It's about the energy you put into it, the methods and the tools. You've heard it before, don't believe the HYPE!!! Hype gives us expectations and if we don't meet those expectations we are let down. First let go of your expectations and review the wso realistically instead of their fraudulent ads... It's all a mindset. Let go of nonsense and things that don't work and you know are scams... and grab a handful of MOTIVATION.

    Boy I wish it were so... So far I haven't found that magic pill. I suppose there may be instances where you can latch on a very popular subject with minimal competition. But that is the exception rather than the rule. At the same time you can make money if you stick with it and continue to apply tried and true methods. Very important - don't get distracted by "the next big thing". You will only waste time and lose momentum. Consistency and hard work are key. Not very exciting but this is a business just like anything else.

    Oh and on the whole 2012 thing don't worry about it. Be positive convergence is coming. You are germane to your own created reality. It'll all come to you. Be positive.

    Its spectacular claims like that which has led me to finding the WSO forum to be a waste of time. I have no doubt that there are some truly legit above board offers there, but there is also a definite willingness on the part of a few to use it to sell nothing but hype.

    I just see already, in other forums and by other means, no shortage of things that I know will deliver what's offered and the value for the price being asked, to spend that money on WSOs. Or waste time mining for gold among the muck. Especially gold I have to buy before I can know for certain I'll even regain what I paid for out, and excluding what I do already, to make at least that much back in a reasonable period of time.

    No offence to those who put together WSOs of value and don't hype them to impossible levels. In fact, if there was a lot less of the other kind then yours would stand out and I'd start visiting the WSO forum again. Meantime I'm not holding my breathe, and there's already no shortage of people willing to throw their money at these while hoping some of it eventually sticks.

      There should be a filter system for these things... I'm tired of people getting scammed over and over... 95% of them are useless. Wake up people. I'm not going to down everyone of them but Show me one... just 1 that gives you killer results... It should be a featured wso if it's that effective. Let go of things that don't work. Gather your tools and build a foundation of things that DO work...

    I don't check out the WSO's very often, but I think some filtering options there would be quite helpful, actually. Consider these?:

    1. Sort by number purchased. I have no idea how they would implement, but this works for Flippa (sorting by number of bids) and helps separate those that are getting bids/interest from those that aren't...helping to eliminate some of the crap offers.

    2. Anonymous rating system from actual buyers. Only allowing those that have actually purchased to rate would keep some of the anonymous haters from sabotaging your offer...again, probably difficult to implement, but would allow you to sort pretty nicely.

    Anyway, I'm sure the board owner(s) here have thought about this much harder and longer than I have and WOULD add if it were possible. Still, though...I think those would be interesting features...

    I think I know which WSO you were talking about. I was looking forward into buying that but the people who testifies that they earned such amount that was promised is just two.

    Now if we want to really make money, make our own system, focus, and if it works, repeat!

    No they work....

    What they actually mean is that it takes 10 hours
    to set up the site....then it's several months of maintenance...

    So it took you 10 hours to build the site (pages, SEO...)
    then 3-6 months to make 1k+ per website...

    They are not lying, they just do not say all the truth!
