Stupid question, but I gotta ask it

I get at least one e-mail a day promoting some program to make tons of money with little time invested all from some sort of automated something or other. Many of them sound incredibly convincing, but I just can't bring myself to believe I can make a few thousand dollars (or even a couple hundred dollars) a week without a lot of honest hard work.

Are any of these automated programs any good?
Is there actually a decent legit program that I can use to make a couple hundred bucks or more a week at that will take only a couple/few hours of time to invest?

My normal job eats up a lot of time and with the recent economy does not pay good at all. Trying desperately to get a better job, but just looking to the internet to make a little extra money in the meantime to stay up on bills.

So do any of these such programs that tons of folks promote actually deliver what they promise?

    Funny, I see above "Top 3 Most Popular Ways to Make $500+ per Day Online". Clicked on it and am seeing more of these "make all this money with just a few clicks...". So even Warrior Forum advertises stuff like this. Makes me think there must be something to some of it, but still skeptical...

    Go over to the Product Reviews section and browse the threads there for reviews. We don't discuss or review individual products in this section.

    You don't really need to spend a bunch of money on a "program" -- there's a ton of free information here in the forum.

    Follow the general rule that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

    I would stop kidding yourself that a magic bullet exists and lining the pockets of the people that peddle this stuff.

    You can make good money online, but like you said mate it takes hard work, time and dedication.

    I'm not saying there aren't people that have made money from hyped up programs - they are just things I tend to ignore when I get emailed.

    If you want to make a couple hundred dollars extra week then why not do Google places listings for local businesses?

      I'm really skeptical about any program that promises lots of money with almost no work. The Internet provides lots of opportunities to make good money, but not miracles.

      My rule of thumb is that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

    Some automated programs can be helpful, but many are not worth the money and are ineffective or soon become ineffective because of abuse. The best approach is to be willing to commit "x" amount of time each week to grow your online business and stick with that. carefully investigate which automated programs may work best for YOU and your online goals and use it to help facilitate the work you MUST do...not to replace you 100%. That's the best advice I can give. Hope it helps.

      There's very few (if any) 'automated' programs that will help you start earning money from scratch. You're better off reading as much as you can here on the forum, choosing a business model and then taking serious action.

      Once you are earning some money there are some softwares that can help you take your income to the next level (by saving you time).

      I love it!! LOL Kind of scary for everyone who would be buying "the secret" from someone who never achieved what he claims to have "the secret" for achieving! But often, that is exactly what happens. Buyer Beware!

    In general, these aren't true.

    If you're not making four figures, stay away from training courses that cost four figures.

    Always be able to pay for your IM investments with money you've made from IM.

    That makes you a lot more detailed in how you check out courses to verify they work, believe me.

    With automated programs,you'll make a buck to five bucks per day.To make more,you have to apply it using several websites or blogs at different niche(s).You must work to drive traffics/prospects to the various sites.
    If you are too desperate to make the bucks,you just have to try some; if not all the attractive offers that come your way until you'll be patient enough to develop your own money making system.Its all part of the learning process.It takes some time to get to that level and no other way.

    you can find tools that can help you in you internet marketing business for sure, but it is not that tool that makes the money, you will still have to put the work in, have a system in place, and take it seriously.
    Sorry to say, but there are no magic tools like they want you to believe, I've fallen for it in the past but now I've learned my lesson, so no more believing in those hypes, just work and get it done.
    Good luck

      There are always going to be "Get Rich Quick" schemes offered both on- and offline. The key elements of these offers usually involve astounding results with little or no effort. While we all want a "secret system" to be true, we instinctively know that just isn't the way things work.

      Now I'm not saying there aren't great tools and income-producing programs that people have packages to help others (while making some cash themselves). There are! But before you spend a dime, why not check out the ideas and methods available for free in the forums/threads? I'm a new member but have read the WF for over a year and have come away with some great ideas I've tested and adopted.

      So in order to make some extra cash:
      1. Find an IM idea that suits your personality and skills
      2. Develop (or buy) a repeatable system to help you implement that idea
      3. Work at it consistently.

      Good luck and I can't wait to hear how it turns out!
