What have we got to loose for trying something that is free? Besides, it looks like fun … and after all, that is part of what this is all about too … right?

OK … the email said that I had money coming to me! MONEY … I didn’t do anything special to be getting money, especially the unexpected kind. The Traffic Exchange is Froggy Hits and I have exchanged several emails with Louise Deavin, the owner. She is friendly, her Traffic Exchange is fun to use, and you may get $20 into your account like I did … maybe more/maybe less. In any case you should consider an addition to your traffic management.

There are some other really cool additions to my traffic management that I will address later but this one made some money, and isn’t that what Making Money Online is all about

1. It takes TRAFFIC to build a list of your own
2. You need a WEBSITE to build your own list
3. It takes a LONG TIME to build a list!

All of these reasons, and more, are why MOST people don’t have a list now.  Well here’s the good news!  YOU DO NOT NEED A LIST OF YOUR OWN TO SUCCEED ONLINE!

Why?  BECAUSE YOU CAN RENT A LIST TO USE RIGHT NOW!

Even better – we’re talking about a HIGHLY targeted list that is PROVEN responsive.  BEST OF ALL – you can rent this list for LESS than 1/10th of a penny per name! Imagine – YOUR ad going to 20,000 or 50,000 or even 500,000 INTERESTED people!

Think THAT would create sales? It WILL!  And you can advertise ANYTHING you want to sell.

• Ebooks
• Information products
• Health products
• eBay products
• Clothing
• Jewelry
• Memberships
• Business opportunities
• Resale rights products

You name it and you can sell it using this proven method.  This is SUPER effective for affiliates and business opportunity marketers! Here’s MORE good news… There’s a site that has OVER 1000 of the highest quality lists you can choose from right now!

• They did the research
• They negotiated the best prices
• They made finding lists easy

In fact, they have been helping people just like you succeed with this method for OVER 10 years!  Interested? You can learn more right now by Clicking Here …  Now, I want you to know that this is EASY to do.  Thousands of people from every corner of the planet are doing this successfully.
And now it’s YOUR turn!

If you can write an email you can do this.  And it is PROVEN effective.  All the top online marketers do this, and now YOU can do it too! Charlie Page, the owner of the site, will even teach you how!

Take a look right now and discover why Charlie’s site was listed in Robert Allen’s New York Times bestseller “Multiple Streams of Internet Income”!

This method works … and Charlie will personally help you make it work!  He even personally advises any member of his by telephone to help them succeed!

I use this site and it works for me.  Now it’s YOUR turn!

Now, since you’ve read this far, to make it even easier combine Charlie Page’s website with the 48 Hour Cash Machine and you have a step by step method of Making Money Online.  All of this without a website or list of your own. After all of the slippery bull stuff of  ‘you can make tons of cash with no money or work crap” you will absolutely love this combination.

… Dave Carlson

PS … The 48 Hour Cash Machine is a very informative collection of videos showing you exactly how to do this. (eg, Do this, then this, … well, you get the idea)

Next I checked their website whois information out and this is what I found.

As you can see these people have been blacklisted on at least one list and they are just getting started. There are better places to get information on how to make money online than here. This is all just my opinion, but I at least want you to have all the facts before you part with your money.

They are not asking for a LOT OF MONEY but you and your significant other could go out to dinner and get a much better deal than you will get from these people. My personal recommendation for honest online information is Honest Riches by Holly Mann At least you will get honest step by step HONEST information about Making Money Online. Not the usual easy thousands of dollars working just a couple of hours a day (what crap!) Just a little apology about my language here but this stuff really burns me

If you have any further information on this topic or any other topic please fill out the contact information or leave a comment here. I personally look at all comments.

I am ALWAYS skeptical when someone uses the Google name in their product to make money. (You can review one of my posts about one of the worst here) … http://dave-carlson.com/google-home-biz-kits/

Google Snatch in its many forms is produced by Mo Latif. He has made a lot of money using the techniques in his “product”. The big question is “Can you make the same money?”, and is ‘Google Snatch’ worth the “price of the product”.

I found an ‘honest’ review by a young woman named Corey with an accounting and finance degree (I put the word honest in quotes only because you can also buy Google Snatch from her post. She states in her post that:

The thing that irks me about these types of programs are when affiliate marketers and gurus are hawking their products state how much money that they are making. Sure, they are making money and they can prove it too! BUT, are you making money? Many people read and see the earnings of these Clickbank affiliates and see how much money they are making and think to themselves, “Wow, I can make that much money too!” In reality, the only person that is getting rich is the person that is selling the product (NOT YOU).

You really don’t see any people review the product state how much they’ve earned from using free traffic. Well this is my painfully honest review.

So is Google Snatch 3 a scam? No, but it’s just another eBook and video tutorial on how to make money online. However, it does a good job of gathering resources from the net and combining it in one format (I wouldn’t say it’s easy to follow). Beginners might have a hard time swallowing all of this information too.

You can find her complete post on this subject here:
http://hubpages.com/hub/The-Truth-About-the-Google-Snatch-3-Ultimatum-Is-it-a-Scam

The following is the disclaimer that was at the bottom of the email that I received for Google Snatch. It just reinforces what I have said in a previous post about reading the FINE PRINT when you purchase products to make money online.

Any claim made or implied by either party or parties privy to
this and all related emails concerning any and all discussions,
whether in print or verbal, regarding any future earnings or
results obtained as a direct result of the implementation of any
and all services and/or product(s) of Google Snatch and/ or
any of this Company’s affiliate(s) or partner(s) should be
perceived as complete speculation or opinion and rendered for
comparison purposes only and should be viewed as a “reasonable
estimate” and should not be used for evaluation purposes. Under
no circumstances should any representation to any current or
future earnings be deemed as a promise, guarantee or warranty
from this Company and that any decision from you to participate
or purchase any service, course or product should be made after
due diligence on the part of the party enrolling in the same. In
no uncertain terms do we suggest you enter into any arrangement
without proper research and understanding, and that any decision
to participate should never be based upon or be the result of any
promise or guarantee made towards any and all future earnings. We
absolutely make no representation to any future earnings and we
officially acknowledge that any and all results from training,
mentoring, purchase of software and/or their implementation are
direct results of an individual’s effort, understanding,
implementation and personal desire to partake in such activity
and all current economic conditions and, as with any educational
platform, results will vary and are never guaranteed. Should
there be any doubt or confusion about this Company’s position on
this subject, we ask that you pause action and email us about it.
From time to time, we promote certain products that I believe may
be worthy of your time and attention.

Now, since you can find all of the information contained in Google Snatch in all of its different forms online FOR FREE, you can be the judge whether this product is worth the price or not. I am not selling or advertising anything here … just giving you a heads up about how to save some money in your quest for Making Money Online.

Your Internet Marketing Friend … Dave

I thought I would share something I discovered while revisiting Holly Mann’s sale page for Honest Riches (something I highly recommend), and is the main topic of a post on this website. If you are discouraged by what others are saying, or about how fast your business is growing … or are just discouraged about how your life is going. First keep in mind who won the turtle vs the hare race. Then remember the following quotes by a few famous people, and also what was said about the people in the video. Just keep in mind the personalities of those quoted and the era in which they were given.

“Try not to become a man of success, but rather, to become a man of value.”
- Albert Einstein

 

“We can have anything we want in life if we’re willing to help enough other people get what they want.”
- Zig Ziglar

 

“The secret to success is to find out where people are going … and get there first”
– Mark Twain

When you have some difficulties [if you haven't already ] … remember what was said to these individuals, as you watch the video, … and that someone, somewhere, said “Keep On Trucking” … towards YOUR goals whatever they may be.

Your Internet Marketing Friend … Dave

There are other types of programs that provide links to your website. I have tried some requiring writing articles, but frankly they are more trouble and time consuming than they were worth for me. They required a lot of time for me to reword articles posted by authors from other countries.  I don’t use that one anymore either.

These programs are all well and good if you have the money to spend, or the time that is required for them, and for me that is the same thing.

One program that is the best, for the amount of time that you will spend for the benefit earned, is Monopolinks.Com.  You link to other websites in their database and other websites link back to you. There is no mutual linking,  just one way links. This is great and it’s FREE! You have the option of choosing which website to put on your links page. You can check out the Links page on this website. There are mutual website links there (ones where we link to each other), but there is an increasing number of one way links from other websites on my page. This is the best link program that I have found and surprisingly there are even higher Google page ranks there too.  You may even get one of these higher pages linking to you.  I have.  The deal is, you link to others and others will link to you.

These are just some of the ways to get links.  If you don’t have a link exchange program for your website get this one. If you already have a program for exchanging links this is still a great addition. I am not getting anything in return for this referral.  This is just information that will improve your online business.

Besides building links everyone also needs traffic and a good website for that is Link Referral. I won’t go into them here but you can click the link here or from the sidebar to check them out.

Building links to your website can be frustrating but I hope you use this information to make this a fun task rather than a tedious job. … Dave

1. Social network marketing is here to stay.

2. The numbers of people on social network sites are in the 100′s of MILLIONS and that was in 2007!

3. It is a really important tool that I needed to add with my internet marketing.

Here’s the great part.   Now YOU can make MONEY with YOUR Twitter posts and promote your business!

Just one word of caution about that last statement. If you list your business opportunity with every post to Twitter, Sokule, or whatever service you use, you will probably get kicked off.  That is the same as spamming and no one likes spam.
How??

Sokule is an entirely NEW FREE Social Networking community that posts your tweets on Sokule, Twitter  and 40 other top sites instantly — while putting MONEY in YOUR pocket!

It’s just like Twitter, only 10 times better. We call our community SOKULE — as in “So KULE for Business!“   Why is SOKULE the next BIG step in the social networking revolution?

For starters, SOKULE is Twitter MONETIZED.

That means instead of just posting to Twitter and gaining followers, you EARN CASH when your followers upgrade — and when you see ALL that SOKULE has to offer, upgrading is not a problem!

SOKULE’s innovative Affiliate Program means EVERY time anyone in your audience switches from a FREE account to one of several enticing paid accounts, you earn fat 20% to 50% commissions.

Now just imagine your thousands of followers – we call them “Trackers” – reading your messages – called “squeeks” – and upgrading by the droves. That’s some real cash!

OK, here in a nutshell, is why SOKULE is SOOO-COOL!

* Your squeeks are posted on Sokule, Twitter, and 40 other TOP Social Networking sites INSTANTLY! Your friends and followers will never miss a word you have to say.

* Paid members are NOT limited to short tweets, your squeeks can be up to a whopping 500 characters long, enough space to really say something important!

* You can include LIVE clickable LINKS on your profile page!

* Share up to 5 of your photos in your profile!

* Schedule posts to go out at specific future times. That means you can be on vacation and still look like you’re a SOKULE posting pro!

* PLUS, Sokule lets you instantly invite all your Twitter followers to join you on SOKULE!

Have I sparked your interest in SOKULE?

I hope so.

SOKULE will be the most exciting technological innovation to hit social networking this year.  Make sure YOU are part of the excitement that is building web wide.

I am an Excited Sokule Squeeker, and I hope to see you there too!

Having fun and making money online … Dave

P.S. Track right over to…

I don’t recommend individual programs unless they have a proven track record of success.  This is one of those programs.  I have researched this one thoroughly and have even joined this one myself.  My personal sponsor has made over $7000 in just a few months.  Another one of our Team Leaders made at least $100/day within his first 2 weeks.  In fact our TRAINING TEAM is commited to the best training and support system. This support system is lead by high income leaders that provide live online training 5 days a week. If you are into Network Marketing even a little … You are going to love this!

You owe it to yourself to at least look at this honest program to see if it fits your personal style.  I am so confident that you will make money I will personally pay your way into the first level, a $47 value.  So, what have you got to loose?

It’s Time For You To Earn Money Now! It Pays Daily, and Pays Well if you work the program.

You should at least give it a good once over. Start by watching the video below by clicking the link. Give yourself a break by checking this one out … Dave

In this post I have included just a small fraction of what I found regarding the Google Home Business Kit. I hope you read this before you sign up.

Recently there has been a wave of work at home programs all claiming that they can show you how to make money from Google. They all sell a Google Biz Kit for a low shipping and handling fee from $1.99 – $3.88. They change names often but as of now the most popular name is Google Money Master.

These programs consist of a CD, and a membership website that hosts the courses. The lessons teach you how to use Google AdWords to place advertisements for programs that you are an affiliate for.

They also advocate setting up fake blogs and websites to advertise the same Google Kit that you just bought. You may have seen ads like these on Facebook and MySpace. Don’t be fooled by these and other sites claiming that you can make money from these programs; any income they’re receiving is simply from referring more people to join these sites.

I have searched the internet regarding this “business opportunity” and here are just some of the responses that other people have made about the “Google Home Business Kit”. ( I did have a sentence here about fairness and finding one person that said he was making thousands. Then I thought – who’s being fair in all this anyway, so now you have this instead. )

DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER DOING THIS!! this company COMPLETELY screwed me over. They charge 5 bucks for shipping and then every month, CHARGE 50 DOLLARS!!!!!!! they are low lifes trying to screw the american public out of 600 dollars a year! I hate these liars. I am currently trying to cancel my account, but these pathetic people wont return my calls. I am going to have to contact my credit card company and have them deal with it because I am at a dead end. DO NOT, I REPEAT, EVEN CONSIDER DOING THIS OFFER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAVE YOURSELF

DON”T mess with them. Some of these companies say only $1.99 s&h and end up taking $89.99 out and they keep it in “pending” until the 7th day trial is up and bingo…they have their money before you can cancel on the 7th day.

Do NOT touch this so-called “Opportunity” or anything that resembles it!! They are after your Credit Card info….They will slam you with a monthly fee probably in excess of $60.00 a month, on a recurring basis….That’s the SCAM!!!

It’s almost impossible to contact them….You have to become a detective!! This also creates problems with your Credit / Debit card company in trying to get refunds as well!! I REPEAT….DO NOT GET INVOLVED!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!

Now for the boring “Terms and Conditions” that seem to go on forever. Here is why you should take the time to read them. I know … I hate them too, and have to admit that I just click through. This is exactly what these “people” are counting on.

This comes straight from their terms and Conditions …..

Terms and Conditions
By submitting this form I authorize SEO Supervisor (DRI*SEO Supervisor) to immediately charge my credit card $0.00 USD for the setup of the SEO Supervisor Home Business Kit. I hereby request that SEO Supervisor (DRI*SEO Supervisor) activate my account and authorize them to advance funds as indicated. Monthly Service fees will commence seven days from the date of this purchase, and will be billed monthly thereafter. After the seven day trial you will be billed Sixty nine dollars and ninety cents USD monthly for the continued access to the Google Money Making System. No refunds will be given for failure to use the requested and provided services. We reserve the right to transfer your billing to a third party Merchant of Record. This authority will remain in effect until revoked by me. You may cancel at anytime by writing to SEO Supervisor, 4240 West Flamingo Rd. Suite #201, Las Vegas, NV 89103 or calling 1-800-497-4988 (International customers please call 1-866-321-2728). I agree that SEO Supervisor (DRI*SEO Supervisor) shall be fully protected in honoring any electronic transfer or collection. SEO Supervisor shall not be responsible for refunding any Account Set-Up fees. By submitting this information I am agreeing to the terms stated herein. SEO Supervisor (DRI*SEO Supervisor) will not send notification, postal or electronic, when a billing occurs.

If you Read it, it not so clearly says they will Charge you 69.90 per month after the seven days and it says that they don’t have to notify you that they are doing this…ALWAYS READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS!!!!!!

If you have already bought into this so-called “opportunity” good luck getting your money back or at least to stop them from continually charging your credit card.

Hope this finds your Home Business in good health, and free from those that want to steel your money.

Global Cashflow Networks makes several marketing products, the main one being the certified media placement specialist plan. The average cost is between $2,000 and $5,000 including the advertising package. They use two unknown “trust” web sites with no Google pagerank to establish credibility. This is because at the Better Business Bureau they have an F rating with over 46 complaints. They also paid Ed Magedson at ripoffreport.com his fee and all their complaints were turned into praise and endorsements. After reading the rest of this post come back and click HERE to see the complete article. When you get there make sure you read the comments below the article. Unbelievable!

I really don’t like negatives so I am going to make this short. As the title above suggests, this ‘online opportunity’ isn’t bad, it’s ugly … so you need to stay away from this one if only for the protection of your money. If you only want to learn how to place media (send emails, printed advertisements, post cards, etc. – I did all of that) fine, … then only spend the $250 they charge to learn how to do that. But DO NOT spend the extra thousands that the ‘media coaches’ say that you need to spend in order to make really big money. I spent a total of $3,000 with Mary Gersten only to make a whopping $100. Mary Gersten’s ‘media coaches‘ are only there to talk you out of your money, in order to pay for a brand new building full of ‘media coaches’.  In short – set your money on fire. At least you will get warm by the fire.

It may be a little disappointing to get two posts in a row that are on the negative side of the coin, but I believe my job here, is to save as many people from loosing as much of their money as possible. I have made that a priority on my blogs. If you have got some experience with products or services let me know. I would even let you post a comment with a link back to your website if it is worth wile to someone’s pocketbook. What I don’t want to do is to check out products that you are just trying to sell (I will personally check it out the story anyway before it is posted). I am doing this because I am sick and tired of people that hide behind a website, lie to people because they are only out to steal as much money that they can get their hands on. I’ve made a little money and I’ve lost money, I just want to level the playing field a little. I’m sorry for getting on such a high soapbox, but I feel that it’s time the little guy deserves a break

There will be more information to come … not all bad I promise. Hopefully though this post and the previous one saved you some money.

Sincerely, Dave Carlson
