    Ps. Jackson I just looked at your Hub, good stuff but you might want to fix the typos.

    Self help books like Robbins recycled hype have nothing to do with working online!

    In New Zealand there is a Saying...
    Those that talk about it are just not getting it..
    So in other words the more you read and see the less chance of it being the real deal.

    A get rich qick scheme was what 1st caught my eye on the internet. However i didn't rush to buy, especially when i read somewhere that you can earn online without spending money if you are willing to take the long way around it.
    That was cool by me. But somewhere along the line i parted with about $30 for an ebook. My greatest investment i must say. A great step by step book that somehow landed me first on Squidoo and then on Hubpages.
    Haven't looked back since.

    i think that to every genuine offer there will be 100 scam elsewhere, People want to belive that there is some magical solution to money problems and depending on how well the pitch page is determine's a sale or not.
    If you want to make money online then set up a blog, Publish plenty of content, Spend time driving traffick to your site, have quality and relevent content as to what your viewers want to read. Once you have a following then you could make money via affiliate marketing, Sell your ad space, This all takes time but in the end is will be all worth it, Passive income cannot be beaten

    I agree. There are no magical solutions although being a part of 5 or so good solutions can add up to over $250 a week of passive income, which is generally what people want.

    ---You bet they do! People are making a lot of money just by pushing all that scams in affiliate marketing, MLMs and what not. And some naive shmucks (me included)pay their last pennies for a hope to make something without a slightest idea of what they are doing. You can read about my experiences in MLM in my hub "Chasing MLM company... I do not want to promote it here, just if you are indeed interested, you can find it, I did not write that many hubs yet.

    There are sooo many popping up because people are looking to make money fast but almost all of the online money-makers aren't a "get rich quick" variety.

    Everyone can make money with affiliate marketing, buying/selling on craigslist/ebay/yard sales and blogging.  But all 3 take time and research.

    All the other ones are just plain hokie and want you to buy their product which won't help you make money.

    Like anything it's 'Buyer Beware'. My rule of thumb is 'If it sounds to good to be true then it probably is' - there's a whole lot of decent ways to make money on the web (I like many wrote a hub on it) - but like anything else in life, it's not easy - it requires a lot of work and dedication!

    Now, I must dash and go and collect the four international lottery wins I've received this week, as well as contact that Nigerian Politician who wants me to help him out!

    lol I luv those emails from the "nigerian politician"

    I was talking about this today with someone, so does that mean you would be less reluctant to give your bank account details to someone offering you $50 rather than $20million?

    You absolutely can make money on the internet.

    get rich quick is a fraud.

    many know me here as being absolutely honest with my opinions.  I work my butt off and do quite well with affiliate marketing.

    It is all about what you are willing to put into your business.  i dont absolutely mean financial either but rather time and effort.

    I make money on a daily basis staying away from the so called gurus techniques.

    It really is all about what you are willing to do.  You start at the bottom with everything you do and that includes earning online.

    So if you are looking to make thousands over the weekend in your pjs then keep looking.  If you are looking to make thousands over time with a lot of hard work and effort then you can do just that.

    The Internet is no different to anywhere else as far as doing business is concerned. There are honest people and there are crooks. It is easier for crooks to succeed because you can't see them eye to eye. It goes without saying the need for extra care when tempted to get involved online!
    No doubt about it, there are loads of junks out there but there are also good genuine information available to help anyone to succeed.
    Most people cannot succeed, I am one of them, is not because they are let down by not getting good instructions. I have tons of courses that tell me what to do, whether to create a Blog website, finding the best and hot selling affiliate products. I paid loads of $'s for them too. I created many websites and wrote a few articles, but I am not making money consistently. Do I blame these Gurus that I bought the products from? No, because I am honest to myself and I know I am not doing what is necessary to make money. Having said that there are one or two so called Gurus out there that I would really like to give a kick up the what's it! The only thing is they are going from strength to strength and raking it in. People are just taken in too easily!

    The Internet is loaded with get-rich-quick schemes, scams and opportunity programs that simply do nothing compared to their claims.

    It reminds me of my actual businesses that operate in the U.S., without regards for those they claim to help.

    It is what it is. Greedy, deceitful people praying on those who don't know any better.

    YES.  Also, porn.

    The primary get-rich-quick scheme, in case you hadn't guessed, is to offer to teach people your get-rich-quick scheme in exchange for a large amount of money.

    Nope, not a single get rich scheme ever. Only the truth on how to make money. You might not understand the truth, but to everyone who does you will understand the message, to everyone else buy one of the guides and you will quickly find out what i'm talking about.
