This really does sound too good to be true, but I can't find a catch, so I'm going to try it out. If you feel like it, have a go yourself.The idea is that people download the Free programs (of value in themselves), and then want to go further and purchase the products anyway. The good news is that you earn a commission on the free downloads anyway. The bad news... I can't find any bad news.

Yesterday I received an email from a scam "artist", letting me know that he had a large chunk or the late Kerry Packer's assets in holding, and that he wished my assistance to 'launder' the assets through a US bank. Why a criminal would need a 'good Christian' person to undertake criminal activity I don't know. But hey.I replied to the email, and having imparted a fair bit of information on Mr

It sounds to good to be true... $10 per pay-per-click and up to $100 to read emails!! It really, really does sound too good to be true! And that's because it probably is one of the worst scams I've ever come across on the net.Please, please, never-ever-ever join this site, but if you do feel the need to test it out, don't waste your money on the $20 upgrade.A minimum amount of $75 000 must be

The Twitter Traffic Machine looks like a really good system, and seems to be working really well for a lot of people. Not least of all for its creator, Bill Crosby (possibly a pseudonym). The Twitter Traffic Machine (TTM from this point) is based on the idea that the more followers you have, the higher the number of clicks to any link you post. Fair enough. Good theory. Does it work? Kind of.

Anyone who has ever run a google search or "make money fast" or "make $xxx in xx days/hours" or any similar search, will have come across "Cash Professor", "Underdog Wealth Systems" or any number of online gambling services, ebooks, communities and gurus who promise that you can make up to $1000 an hour if you use their system.It ain't true.Each system I've looked at (and my eyes are all dry and

Well its been a few days since I last let you all know how its going... I've been insanely busy with various ventures and the blog kind of slipped slowly towards the 'low priority' side of things. But to make up for it, I do have a whole heap of information for you all... various products I've looked at, and systems that are available.In the real world, given the weather here (winter, wet, cold,

I spent today pounding the pavement, resume in hand, asking every single business if there were any openings or who I needed to talk to to find out about possible openings. I distributed fifty copies of my resume to various businesses (that's all I had with me) and filled out I don't know how many application forms. And when I got home and checked my email... Thirty-Nine rejection notices. It

It is now day two of trying really hard to stay solvent and Google hasn't indexed my blog yet, so I'm wondering how long that will take. I see indexing being pretty vital for traffic, as I want fresh traffic all the time, as well as recurring traffic. Fresh traffic is important because people who visit my site all the time are going to ignore the ads by habit, where new visitors are more likely

Ok, so I went out and found loads of information on logging for money. Loads and loads and loads. And most of it is pretty useless. Blogging for money comes down to TWO elements 1. Ad revenue 2. Affiliate linksNow lets take a closer look at them individually. 1. Ad Revenue This is pretty simple - you put ads on your blog or web page (or you get someone else to, Adsense, for example), and each

I'll begin by stating clearly: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING.This is pure, by-the-seat-of-my-pants, newbie, desperado stuff. I know there are other people out there like me, right now, trying to get by, make a little extra, or even find something that lets them be the lazy person they know that they are inside. And I know there will be people just like me again... and again... and again. This is
