If you’re subscribed to any of the multitudinous e-mail/newsletter lists by the ubiquitous Internet marketers and so-called get-rich-quick gurus out there, you’ve no doubt received many an enticing e-mail with a subject line similar to my title for this posting.
The only ones making any money, however, are these e-mail scammers, and I’m not sure how they sleep at night. Some of them have really big and prestigious names in the industry, who will–of course–reveal their secrets to you only if you join their members-only sites for $49, $149, $249, etc., a month.
Even a thousand fools (easy enough to find) at $49 a month will yield big bucks.
This practice is what Internet marketers call "selling shovels," using an analogy from the California Gold Rush, when the only ones making money were those selling shovels to the hordes of prospectors, 99.999999999999 percent of whom would remain forever penniless.
More likely, these marketers are selling you piles of bull shit created by their Web-based shovels.
Case in point: The FTC recently busted brothers Eric and Calvin Louie of California for their shoveling-the-shit sites, fastcashathome,com and realcashprograms.com. Their shovels earned Eric a 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo and Calvin a 2005 Ferrari F430.
The FTC now owns the automobiles and has put the Louies out of business.
The duo was nabbed under the FTC’s Project Fal$e Hope$ program. The FTC–and the Council of the Better Business Bureau–have their phone lines open for tips on other such shovelers of shit.
Dial away–you’ll be saving lots of fools lots of money.
