It is true - you can make a lot of money online. Unfortunately it is also true that you can lose even more money trying to make money online.
This is what unfortunately happens to a lot of people at the beginning of their online ventures. Once you start searching the internet for opportunities to make money and subscribe to some email lists (very often in exchange for a free ebook), your inbox will overflow with unique offers daily.
And most people will be tempted to try out some of those offers. After all: they always sound to good to be true. I am afraid, though - most of them will not earn you a dime.
Therefore I have one VERY IMPORTANT advice for you: before you spend money again on any business opportunity online - check whether it is a scam.
To do that, all you have to do is a Google search. Type in the name of the program and "scam" or "experience". This is the easy part. What is more difficult is to decide whether the search results are sales pages or real reviews.
A sure indicator that a site is nothing but a sales page is, when the name of the program can be found in the URL. The most reliable results come from people who review many different programs.
Just give it a try and you will see for yourself. With a little bit of effort you will surely start to recognize the scam reviews on first sight after some practice.
You will see: If you make it a routine to check all the programs first before you buy into them, it will spare you a lot of money. :)

This is ridiculous ...
I bought a share in TrafficWave's Advertising Co-op for June. Of course, TrafficWave cannot guarantee any sales, but I thought, my chances would be good with only 150 shares sold to get a few signups. TrafficWave claims: "We have no way of telling you how many sales you will actually realize.
Our own tests have shown that our Google Keyword ads convert at a very
high rate. Our Co-ops bring in thousands of new signups and we just keep
getting better at it!"
Doesn't that sound as if that was quite chance - and for only $ 39,95.
When the first few days of the month were over, I contacted TrafficWave. I knew that nobody could guarantee signups, but at least I had counted on a lot of traffic. After all they said that they would run a professional campaign.
I contacted them because after 4 days my page in the rotator had 3 (!!!) exposures. I contacted them, because I could not believe this. I thought that there must be some technical issue, because even I am able to drive more traffic to a site than that. But TrafficWave said that everything was fine and they could not guarantee any sales ...
Well, I was not talking about sales there, but about views - and 3 views in 4 days is just ridiculous. I calculated that by the end of the month I would have had about 23 exposures - at a price of $ 1,74 per visitor.
But then, things changed. I got a signup which is not the same as a sale, by the way, as people sign up for a free 30 days trial of TrafficWave in this campaign. And you know what happened? Since then, my rotator page is "paused".
I know the month is not over yet, but the numbers are so far below all expectations that the rest of the month just cannot make up for it. As of today, I have one free signup (no money earned yet) and a total of 4 exposures for $ 39,95.
Weren't they talking about "thousands of new signups"? Who get's all those signups?
In the sales letter for the co-op TrafficWave states: "Shares are filled on a "round-robin" system. As any given share receives a sale, it is "paused" and moved to the back of the rotation. This helps ensure a balanced distribution of all new sales."
So if I got 1 signup and my share is still paused, that means that instead of thousands, they did not even get in 150 signups during this co-op so far.
Buying this co-op share was nothing but a waste of money!
I love TrafficWave as my autoresponder - because it is real good value. You get all that you need to work professionally online at a very reasonable price that does not go up as the number of your subscribers increases. I also love their compensation plan, because if you bring in only three referrals, your monthly autoresponder fee is covered.
Their advertising co-op, though, is not what they promise! Do not buy shares!
