SCAMMER!!!! - Thank you Scam Artist. You saved the financial part of my life.

Ok, the title might be a little misleading at first so keep on reading
it won't be a long post. I promise. In case it will be, I apologize.

I met someone today who is also an IMer. We went to a bar and
started talking about everything that is related to Internet Marketing.
Then we started talking about how we started and I told him that
if it wasn't for all the scam artits, I wouldn't be where I am today.
I wouldn't live in a nice house, I wouldn't have a nice car........

He then asked me:

So Toni, what do you mean by "SCAMMER!!!! - Thank you Scam
Artist. You saved the financial part of my life."

Has a scammer saved your financial life or what? YES.

What?!?! Scammers lie to you Toni. They promise you the world,
to get rich quick, to earn millions overnight but in the end you
just end up spending so much money for CRAP that doesn't even
work. And you are saying that one of those guys saved you?

YES. I said. And of course I had to explain this and the reason
why I am posting my explanation here on the forum is because
I think that a lot of us alsowouldn't be where they are if it wasn't
for these get rich quick sites we all hate so much.

Why? Ok let me start.

Like most people here I heard about affiliate marketing, adsense...
on the internet. I saw a youtube video, read an article, saw a
PPC ad........I had no idea what this whole thing is about.

But then I did it. I clicked on the link in the description box,
resource box, PPC ad... and there it was. BOOM!!!!!!!

Pictures of big houses, fast cars, money everywhere. I was
blown away just by seein all those pics. Then I started to read
that long sales letter and damn I was even more blown away. A
23 year old guy has all these things?!?! WOW, I thought.

Then the sales letter started talking about gurus that don't want
that the secrets that are about to be exposed get to the public.
And again I just thought "WOW". I imagined those gurus, thought
about old guys who sit in dark rooms with their computers, the
green light on their face and how they were trying to keep those
secrets secret.

And it all sounded so easy and so doable. But in reality I didn't
know nothing at all.

Heck, I didn't even know how to buy a domain and that you need
a host in order to create a website. Basically, I had zero idea about
the technical part of the internet. And I also didn't know that these
guys who are considered gurus are peole like Frank Kern or Jeff
Walker Guys who were accessile at webinars etc.

Ok, so did I bu that product at that time. No. Why? Because I
was too young. I had no bank account, no credit card, nothing.

But I started researching heavily. I am talking about coming home
after working 12 hours at a restaurant and doing research for 5 or
6 hours looking for that magic bullet.

I never found that bullet, because after weeks of research I started
to realise that it is harder then I thought it would be but I still had
all those images in my head. You know the houses, cars, parties...
And I wanted to live that lifestyle.

But the more I researched, the more complicated it got. I started
to hear about things like SEO, backlinks, quality score, google slap,
blackhat, whitehat, greyhat, on page and off page optimization,
cpa, calling cpa networks and so much other stuff. I was disappointed
and gave up.

But after a few weeks, these images of the scammy get rich
quick site appeard in my head again and they wouldn't go out.
Thisdream of a lifestlye like the one describes on that site it just
got me.

SO I started all over again and found forums and all of that stuff.

Now I am here. Thanking that Scam Artist. Because without of
his or her site I would never even bother to start with IM. This
was back in 2008.
If the first thing I would have discovered about IM was a serious,
instructional site I would have never started.

And I think that a lot of people experienced more or less the
same. No? We see all these great things on a get rich quick
sales letter and we just think: That's it and we start doing
research.

Or maybe I am the only one Well, I will find out on this thread
I guess.

By the way, I decided to buy the product last year. I was already
making money and it was just out of curiosity. And let me tell you:

IT WAS PURE BUL*****

But is was just such a great feeling to look at that side and think
about what I have achieved and how my perspectives and views
totally changed.

Sorry guys. It got a little long. But here I am screaming:

THANKS SCAMMER !!!
