All Work From Home Opportunities are Scams

You must be honest with yourself. If something promises you riches WITHOUT YOUR INVOLVEMENT, Use common sense. Why would they even need you?

All Work From Home Opportunities are Scams. I’ve heard this over and over again.

Is it true? Most of the time, the answer is:

NO. Most work from home opportunities are simply NOT SCAMS.

Usually those are people who tried at something for 1 or 2 days and didn’t make $1,000,000 dollars and say it was a scam. And they are right. It was a scam to them. They CHOSE NOT TO BELIEVE that it just might have been their effort,  knowledge (or lack of knowledge), and persistence to learn a new form may be to blame.

On the other hand, the person that they paid money to, thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Perspective determines whether an opportunity is a scam or not.

One AD Millionaire

If they want your credit card number or bank information or other information that is NOT needed for joining, run away as fast as you can! That’s probably a serious scam.

If they ask you to pay in cash, be leery, but it is not necessarily a scam. Many payment processors refuse to fund/pay things involving multiple levels or advertising or other things. The system may still be legitimate. Do your due diligence before sending cash.

I DO send and receive CASH! One big advantage to cash over credit cards is, you know what you are spending upfront. And there are no “processing fees”

They won’t have your credit card info for mysterious charges to show up next week, next month, or next year.

The Plan

The Plan

You must have a plan, an idea, a direction which you want to go, in order to be able to accomplish anything. In business, this is extremely important and necessary. Whether that business is “Brick & Mortar” or an online home based business.

It doesn’t have to be a formal business plan, as you are not going to need a bank loan to start online. Businesses online cost pennies compared to the expenses of a physical biz.

But YOU DO NEED A PLAN.

Are you ready to start your own business? Are you really? Do you have what it takes? Do you even know what it takes? Do you really want to build a business? or just earn an income online? They are vastly different.

A Plan can help answer those questions.

One AD Millionaire

You can earn an income just by referring people to other people’s businesses, (like LAD15.com/sabo) and take the commissions and run. You needn’t have a business at all to do this, yet you could still earn income. You also may choose to do a combination of things (as many online do).

Or you can actually start your own business. Starting your own business can be a very exciting time. It can also be a very scary time.

It is filled with uncertainty, and doubt, and dreams, and hope, and fear, and celebration, all rolled up into one.

You can mitigate these items by sorting some things out before you start.

This is called the planning stage.

What do you WANT to do? What will you enjoy doing?

How much will it really cost you, in both time and money? Not just the upfront cost, but ongoing costs, in both time and money.

You see, at the beginning, there are only questions. And that’s a good thing. They will help you adjust your business to you, specifically.

There is no one-size-fits-all. That’s a lie propagated by all the fools out there claiming to have the best answer for you. They Don’t. I don’t. You are the only one who can determine if you really want to sell vitamins or potions to heal the sick, when they may or may not. You have to be the one to decide if you want to put in the time and expense necessary to learn and practice building websites or blogs. Or is it something else you want to do? Play music, cure cancer. You can even turn mistakes into a profitable business, teaching or coaching others on what NOT TO DO!

For any business to be successful, it must make money. Make more than you spend. It’s that simple and difficult, at the same time. If you are going to call it a business, the primary goal must be to make more than you spend. Otherwise, you really want to start a government or a charity, which do not use the same rules as business.

For some, this is the only goal. That’s OK. For most (around 90%) of the companies out there, this is their primary focus. For the remainder, it is to further “their cause“. But if they want to keep getting their message out, they need to have a way to pay the bills for generating that message, so they too, must make more than they spend, or beg (charity) or forcibly take it (government).

Currently, it is estimated that 98% of people who try to start a business online FAIL within their 1st year (only 60% offline).

The reason is quite obvious. FAILING TO PLAN.

Failure to Plan is, in fact, PLANNING FAILURE

By understanding and implementing this one fact, you can quadruple (4x) your chance for success. Knowing this in advance; Why would anyone NOT do it?

In a traditional business, if you don’t have enough of your own money, or choose not to use it, you apply for a business loan. Most reputable lenders will require that you provide them with a business plan of some type. They want to see how much is going to go out, and how much will come in, the time frame for these actions: operational costs, cash flow, customer acquisition, management, etc. They need this info down on paper to review, to make a decision, on whether your business will be viable enough for them to get their money back (the loan) plus interest (profit). Banks sell MONEY! For a profit. That’s their business. And they don’t even use their money to do it. They use customer’s money (savings, 401K, CDs, etc.).

(Side-note: Many banks have proven recently, that they really don’t do it too well…….Failure to Plan?)

You should do the same thing, but not for a bank or investor, do it for yourself.

Plan for setbacks. They will happen. Plan for change. It will happen. Plan an auxiliary fund. You may need it. Plan steps to measure success. Plan celebrations for accomplishing those tasks. Once your plan seems workable, Get started. Then adjust your plan to accomplish more or less depending on how things are going.

Don’t try to write “the perfect plan”. It DOES NOT EXIST!


Keep this in mind when you run into Analysis Paralysis.

Analysis Paralysis is when you keep analyzing and analyzing to the point where you never take ACTION, or are paralyzed with the fear of the unknown, or the fear of failure. All of life in the future is UNKNOWN. So you will NEVER know what’s going to go on in the future. Take the Now as a gift. It is, after after all, called the PRESENT.

One AD Millionaire

Learn from the past. Plan for the future, but act now to make it happen.

People only undertake the fear of starting something new when they are MORE AFRAID of staying the same.

Most of us would be afraid to run, at full throttle, blindly, through the woods or jungle. One might break a leg, or get a stick in the eye. It is “safer” to walk slowly and cautiously. That all changes if you are being chased by a bear or a tiger, who thinks you may be lunch. You are currently being chased by bill collectors and expenses–RUN!

Even WalMart (the world’s largest retailer) has customers come into their store and leave without ever buying a thing. Or worse than that, they only buy the loss-leader, and nothing else. (Note: a “loss-leader” is an item that a retailer sells for less than their actual cost, just to get customers into the store to buy more profitable items while they are there.)

It is a science that stocks bread, eggs, & milk at the back of the store). So don’t sweat the fact that people will come to your site or blog or store and NOT BUY what you are selling. This time.

Maybe they will next time, or with followup

(see autoresponder section). Full Book SABO Starting a Business Online is HERE

An easy (and cheap) way to see if you really are ready, is to have some business cards printed up.

If you are going to be in business, even an online business, get business cards!

Real, physical, “I can hand them out” business cards.

This will accomplish 2 things right up front.

1. Make you feel like you are really in Business

2. Let others know you are serious about your Business

The card can just have your website and email printed on it;

or you can go the traditional route of Business name, your name, contact phone, email etc. You decide.

You can get free software to print them up yourself (you will still have to pay for ink and card stock) on your computer, or get them done for you, better and cheaper, at VistaPrint.com (around $10). If you don’t want to “waste” $10, don’t go into business. ViralPrint is also a good source.

The actual process of thinking up what you are going to say on a little 2 x 3 1/2 inch card might be the first serious step many will take in the planning stage. Since many will “not bother”, that will already put you in “front of the pack”.

NOTE: If you do 10 or 15 little things that improve your chance for success by a mere 2% each, you will have improved your chance for success by 20%-30%. Many start-ups don’t think that way.

The PLANNING stage will help you sort through the millions of ways to earn a decent living from home.

Do you need a website? Should it be a blog? Do I want to sell? What about training? (Both getting and giving?) Should you sell vitamins? Do you want to take pictures? Are you good at writing computer code? Graphics? Writing sales copy? Outsource? Sell training or affiliate products? Will my product do better as an audio? Video? Membership drip-feed? Physical products? or as a combination of these things or more? Who is my Target Market ?

Will They Buy? Do they already BUY similar items?

A good honest plan will help you figure all of that out.

Along with costs of BOTH time and money.

(Your 1st “mini-plan” should be when to be finished with your plan,)

Many people just plan to “get rich. My guess is that would be right around the 98% mark. (see the correlation between this and the failure rate?)

One AD Millionaire

Instead, take the approach to have all of your initial investment back within 90 days or 120 days, or whatever works with your plan.

Then try to improve that by 25% each month. And soon you will be making it real.

Online business start up costs a fraction of what a brick and mortar business would cost. Pennies on the dollar!

If you spend $300 to start your business, your plan should have it so that you can realistically recoup that $300 within 90 days (or $100/month). Break it down even further: to recouping $25/week. Same thing, but in bite-size pieces.

Once you have recouped your initial investment, and there will ALWAYS BE AN INITIAL INVESTMENT, simply grow that by 25% each month.

In the example above, to grow by 25%, the first month (after 90 days) you would need to grow to $125/month. Then to $156/month, and so on.

Your plan might want that to be weekly. That’s OK, too. It is YOUR PLAN.

There are numerous ways to accomplish this steady growth.

Here are a few ways.

One AD Millionaire

Improve what you are doing (sales copy, price, etc) to get 25% more paying customers.

If you had 10, you now want 13.

If you can’t or don’t want to do it, or don’t know how, you could outsource it (any task you want) to places like elance.com or odesk.com. If you are good at anything, list your services for hire at elance or odesk.

(2018 Editor’s note:- both have now been combined as UPWORK)

If you do a search for either of those, you will find many people running businesses teaching how to use these services. Before you buy anything, know that the sites themselves have training available to you for free.

Reduce your failure rate by 25%. Use an autoresponder to further educate the visitors you are already getting. Reach out (advertising, affiliates etc.) to 25% more people, or a percentage based on your success rate. If you are currently converting 1 in 5, improve that to 1 in 4, and get 8 to see the offer, or 8 more.

Just so you know: Improving a conversion rate from 1 in 5 to 1 in 4 is a

20 % IMPROVEMENT!

Start with an Idea: What do you want to do?

What would be YOUR DREAM JOB? Regardless of education, background, etc.

How will you accomplish it? (online, offline, website, blog, affiliate, etc)

What tools will I need? (computer, software, domain, hosting, autoresponder, advertising, 800 number, etc)

What will be my initial costs?

What kind of profit margin do I have?

How many sales to break even?

How many sales to replace my current income?

What time frame can I realistically expect?

How much time can I devote to this? (including learning, building, training, marketing, fulfillment, customer service, etc.)

And any other questions you may want to add or delete. It is your plan.

Please keep in mind that “sales and commissions” are from what you personally can control. DO NOT add in things like “my downline will get this much for me”. They will never treat it like you do. Some may do better, many will do worse. DO NOT PLAN FOR OTHERS, only for you.

That’s where some of the lies come in (see LIES chapter). Matrix “trickle down”, and “MLM growth” are a sales ploy and NOT TO BE USED IN YOUR PLAN.

Please finish reading this entire book (maybe twice or more) BEFORE actually writing your plan. You can certainly make notes, but wait to get all the info before making your plan.

Once you have your plan, and feel pretty good, not perfect, just pretty good about it, then get started. A plan is a guide. It is NOT CAST IN STONE.

You write it. You can change it. That’s the beauty of Starting A Business Online, or off.

One AD Millionaire

Plan for “down the road” NOT to have all of your eggs in one basket. As you begin FOCUS on just one thing at a time. Use shared hosting (the kind for $5/month), and free tools, when available (and there are a lot available), when starting out. As you grow, put some of the profit BACK INTO YOUR BUSINESS.

Grow your own security with other people’s (your customers) money, just like the banks.

This is a planning thing that many online and offline fail to do: Diversify your hosting, your mailing lists, your products and services. When you plan this way life presents fewer stumbles. If one business/source/supplier goes out of business, your income is not completely shot.

And it all started with a good realistic workable PLAN.

As Colonel Hannibal Hayes (The A-Team) used to say


I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER!!!!

I love it when a Plan comes together

And so will you. But only IF YOU HAVE A PLAN.

Automatic Income Working From Home

Working From Home Is WORK

Many forget the fact that WORKING FROM HOME is WORK! Just like a job, you must show up (although the schedule is up to you) and do the WORK every day, especially for the first few months. Then, if the program or product is good, and your work is productive it starts to get less and less work intensive, and profitable. NO ONE should start any opportunity if they are not willing and able to WORK to get it all started. My suggestion is that if you can’t afford to WORK (and whatever payments are involved) for 90 days (3 months), don’t even start. Stay stuck in a job. But if you are willing to actually do the work it could produce an “effortless” income….eventually.

Picks & Shovels
Mark Twain: When Everyone is Mining for Gold, Sell them Picks and Shovels.

One AD Millionaire

No one wants it more than you. Your success or failure is all on YOU!

No one will give you their “secrets”.

And if they offer you their “SECRETS” for a price, it is NOT A SECRET, It’s a PRODUCT!

SEE LIES Post

If they could actually get 1,000 more “likes” for you on FaceBook, why wouldn’t they just do that for themselves and become rich?

My own personal observation on Facebook Groups for Home Business Opportunities

are just a bunch of amateurs posting their links, thinking that’s how they will get rich.

And then everyone (well, almost everyone) just responds with their own links.

It is totally idiotic.

Is Gifting Legal

Is Gifting Legal? Is Cash Gifting Legal?

Is CASH GIFTING LEGAL?

“Is cash gifting legal?” is a question many have asked. The simple answer is:
If you are allowed to get or give a gift in your country, state, province, or territory,
and you are not in fear of being thrown in jail or fined for doing so, then YES.

Cash Gifting Happens All The time
Cash Gifting Happens All The time

If you have ever received (or given) a gift for a wedding, a Bar Mitzvah, a birthday, Christmas, or for no reason at all, and you just were happy to give (or receive),
Then you can answer the question of “IS CASH GIFTING LEGAL?” yourself.
The answer is YES!

If you are afraid to give (or receive) a gift, then you probably should not do so. Cash or otherwise.

The biggest problem with a cash gifting program, is people’s perception. Many people FEEL that a gifting program is shaky, flaky, or illegal. Although this is NOT TRUE, a product-based program will do much better for these folks, when run properly and honestly, even when cash is used.

LAD15.com/Freedom offers an excellent alternative to the cash gifting model, using advertising as the product, and an excellent compensation structure and enables every purchaser to make money from the ad system itself.

The gift card industry sold more than $12,000,000,000 (12 BILLION Dollars) worth of gift cards in 2012.
And “participants” are some of the biggest names in business. It is a huge profit center.

Gift Card 3

So, for the vast majority of the world, cash gifting IS LEGAL.
That number is anticipated to reach more than $15,000,000,000.00 (15 BILLION Dollars) by 2015. (It has by far eclipsed that now in 2019)

And that’s gift cards alone. Not even counting “gift registries”, cash gifting, and all the other “giving” holidays.

Face the facts, gifting is what we do. It makes the giver feel good for helping or rewarding someone,  and it makes the person who receives the gift, appreciative of the thought and generosity from others, affording them the opportunity to more fully enjoy life.
It also fuels the economy.

Cash Gifting is no different than product or card gifting. It’s a gift. The recipient can use the cash for any purpose they see fit. It really is THE ULTIMATE GIFT!

Many countries have established limits on the value of gifts (cash or property) to be exempt from tax liabilities.
In the United States, for example, that limit (exclusion) is currently (2018) $14,000 per individual (donee) per calendar year.  That regulation can be found at IRS.GOV

There is no expectation of something in return (or at least there should not be).
Is cash gifting legal?
The structure of a cash gifting activity is what differentiates when a cash gifting activity may cross the line.
Is cash gifting legal?
When such an activity is based on getting more and more to receive a “gift”, (as in get 5, and they get 5, and you get a “gift”) then it is probably based on a pyramid or ponzi type structure that will collapse on itself.
That structure might be prosecuted as illegal, but not the act of gifting itself.
Is cash gifting legal?
Gifting activities cannot be referred to as “a business” or “business opportunity”. There is no “investment”, no “profit” or “loss”. No Income. Only gifts.
There are NO PRODUCTS to buy or sell! It’s a GIFT, pure and simple.
Is cash gifting legal?
It can only be a straight up GIFT.

In my opinion, cash gifting is totally legal and even MORE honest than many of the so-called “opportunities” out there.

With all that being said, it is still presumed by many to be a shaky model.

**************************************************************

We have created an advertising program that has no PHYSICAL PRODUCT. Just Ads.

It is designed to use LEVERAGE to gain more exposure to your ad, PLUS others selling ad space for you simply by selling their own.

It is affordable and even cheap. Only $600 for an ENTIRE YEAR.

**************************************************************

After thoroughly investigating many different types of gifting activities, the only one that stood out in my mind as totally honest was the 1-up. In this type, you give someone a cash gift (you choose the level of gift). You then would also give that person your 1st signup (1-up) at that level. After that, all your future invitees will gift that level straight to you. But now they would also have to do just 2 things: Give a gift, and pass their 1st person up (1-up) to you. There are no matrices, no multi-level, no fancy stuff, just giving of gifts between 2 people. And never exceeding the amount allowed by law (USA & Canada).

But Beware: Some have Monthly Maintenance or ADMIN FEES. That can be crazy.

So, Yes, cash gifting IS LEGAL, when done properly, and within the legal limits established by law.

I, personally, chose not to join one, not because I believe it is a fraud, but moreover because it was too difficult to convince the people I might invite. So instead of a gifting program, I chose to use advertising, something everyone uses, as my vehicle.

Also, please understand that I am not a lawyer or an accountant. Use your own due diligence BEFORE you get involved with a gifting activity, as the gift you decide to give is a gift. Expect nothing in return, except gratitude.

Instead of Cash GiftingThankful

I decided that since EVERY online business, including CASH GIFTERS, needs advertising because it is really an activity to be proud to share, to help others, to give the gift of hope and prosperity, that is real and lasting. Help and be helped. Sow and reap. It works because people do enjoy helping others. That is where my thrill and pleasure comes from. What could be better?

One AD Millionaire

Is cash gifting legal? Absolutely. But an Advertising Opportunity is something EVERYONE, including cash gifters, can use.

Lies About Making Money From Home

Chapter 4 -The LIES

(Excerpted with permission from SABO – Starting A Business Online,  an eBook) To Get the COMPLETE eBook go to http://ripoldlife.com/sabo/

 

The LIES

SABO Copyright © 2014 J.M. Darcey

Many programs say that “no selling is involved”. But then, they want your money . That’s selling (or stealing or begging). And if they then ask that you do the same thing, you will be selling (or stealing or begging). Making money involves selling. That does not have to mean direct selling, but it is still selling when goods and/or services and money changes hands.

   {redacted}.

The buyer is always the one in control (for legitimate goods and services), not the seller. But for someone to buy, someone else has to sell.

 Sometimes it involves tricks, like “get it free Just enter your name and email”.

Ever heard this before?

 Free” Is the most powerful marketing (sales) word on the planet. There is “Fat Free”, and “Risk Free” and “Buy One – Get One Free” and thousands more.

The word “FREE”  SELLS!   But it brings in NO INCOME UNTIL A SALE IS MADE. So Free Sites that invite Free People suck as an “Income Opportunity”.

 Email lists are a marketable commodity.

So entering that info is not free. Although there is not a dollar amount attached to the transaction, it is a sale. I’ll give you this if you give me that.

You now have a free thing that, hopefully, will do what it promised, and they have another fish in their pond. Sometimes that’s a great thing for both of you, and sometimes it is not.

Each person will have to determine if the value received was worth the cost. No different than buying a computer or a TV, or a loaf of bread. Or selling a computer or TV, or a loaf of bread .

 loaf of breadAll money making ventures, opportunities, etc. involve selling something, somewhere in the chain. Sometimes that’s exactly what the whole chain was designed for.

Get this free for your name and email

Then Buy this for $37

Then Buy This for $97

Get My Super Duper thing For only $699.95

If you really want those other things to work perfectly well

join my coaching club for only $197 month

Since you are so special You are invited

To Join The Elite Coaching Club

only $997/month

and it won’t stop there.

 There are countless programs that teach this exact principle. That’s why they say that you need a “traffic funnel”. And that you need a list. “Build the list and gold will come.”

 While that is true ONLY IF you want to run a business like theirs.

 I don’t. Not that there is anything wrong with it, it just ain’t my style. But the money says that this method DOES WORK!

 The numbers bear it out, that if you have a list (a targeted list), you can expect to make about $1 per month per member of your list.

To start a list simply, with everything already included, and make some money building your list, go to Groove-Guy.com and be ready when when the next BIG THING hits.

 Keep in mind that means that if you have a targeted interested list, and you send out an offer for a $50 profit product, enough will respond favorably to get you a $1 return for every one on your list. In this example 1 out of 50 would buy.

49 out of every 50 did not want the offer. That’s why all of our inbox’s are so full of junk, even when “we requested it”. That is ONLY IF you cultivate your list properly, and give them valuable information and tips, to keep them on your list.  Too much work for me.

 As explained earlier (in another chapter), there is a hidden lie with regards to “cookies” (those little pieces of code injected into your browser).

 Tracking cookies, as in affiliate sales and tracking, are set by the website owner. Some owners have them set to “lifetime”. Which means once that you have referred someone to that site, through your affiliate link, anytime that they come back to purchase (as long as it’s with that same computer and the cookie has not been cleared), your affiliate ID will get credit (and the commission) for the sale.

 Although this may sound great on the surface, there are some distinct drawbacks for the beginning marketer.

There are usually different affiliate levels. Big Guys, and the rest of us.

Upon a product “LAUNCH” or “PRE-LAUNCH” many guru type people flood their lists with their affiliate links. Many times this occurs BEFORE the product is even available, as they are in a “JV” or Joint Venture arrangement with the publisher. If their mail is good, or their subscribers really trust them, many will click through just to see the new plan or program or software or free video.

BINGO, a lifetime (or whatever the duration) cookie has just been planted on that person’s computer, whether they actually buy or not, on that 1st visit. Most will not, as explained earlier. It really doesn’t matter to the list owner. They accomplished their mission of locking up the potential commission.

 Now, you come along and refer your good friend Joe, to this site. Joe Buys, and you get no commission. That commission is OWED to the original person (MS Guru X) who referred them originally, even if it was through a mass mailing months, or even years, ago!

 This is a little secret that they fail to tell you about when they say “the money is in the list“.

Who’s List?

 Have you received the email touting the GREAT BONUSES you can receive for buying this or that “from my link”. And then they proceed to explain or show you how to remove the cookie BEFORE ordering, in order to receive the BONUSES? ($10,000 worth of Bonuses if you buy this $67 product” yeah, right. I believe you.)

I personally love these mails, as it is usually one guru trying to outdo the other guru that may have sent the mail first. I like to call it

“The OREO WAR”. A battle of the cookies.

oreo

 Some merchants have cookie override capabilities. HostGator for example, has a feature in their affiliate area where you can set up a “code” for referrals to enter into the “Coupon” or “Code” box. If a customer enters your code, the code will override any existing cookie and use your affiliate ID as the seller. (Note: If you want great hosting at an affordable price with superb customer service use coupon code “JobSiteDiscount“. Yes, that is my cookie override from Hostgator)

Lifetime cookies are only great if you are going to be the FIRST person to introduce customers to the site. For everyone else they simply waste advertising dollars and effort. Because even if you get the sale, you may not get the commission.

Lad15 uses NO cookies. Because of the WEalthShare principle, we don’t mind if others benefit from our efforts. If you do as you are supposed to, and only personally refer prospects, they should be able to make up their minds NOW.

One AD Millionaire

If not, then the next person to invite them should be the one to be paid. Very fair. Very simple. It’s a simple AD Program. Not rocket science.

Once someone actually signs up, the commission ($100) is paid directly to that seller.

And they will now promote both your ad and your adspot (#2) for you FOR FREE!

Some sites also have it set so a visitor must remain on the site for XX minutes to have the cookie implanted, eliminating the “put it on a Traffic Exchange or Safelist” people. That’s why so many refer you to the VIDEO page. The video usually lasts long enough to implant the cookie.

“Monthly plans are the best because you get monthly commissions”

 Huge LIE!

Most monthly “autoship” type programs that have an MLM payout plan, only will drain your wallet on a monthly basis. First off, many only pay a fraction of the “sales totals of the lesser leg“.

Translation: You may make a few pennies on less than 1/2 of your sales, and that of your people.

This is one of the surest ways to go broke online.

Only get involved in a monthly program IF you can have your cost eliminated with 3 signups (3 is what the average person online will ever sign up to any program-actually it’s 2.77 people) AND you enjoy/use the product(s)..

The vast majority only buy the product to make money, not to actually use the product itself.

While the concept of a monthly consumable product for repeat sales is fantastic. The reality is most will NEVER see even a fraction of their monthly payment, on a commission check. For some that might be 30-60-90-120 days down the road. And then they quit, and you have to start all over again. And that cycle repeats over and over again.

To further show you how easy it is, they advise you to use traffic exchanges and safelists. Of course they have a system in place to get you to sign up under them, thereby getting free credits, so that they don’t actually have to click and read, and click and read all day.

Traffic Exchanges and safelists are actually viewed by people with no clue and no money for advertising. They are only viewing or clicking so that you will see their opportunity.

 It’s like trying to sell milk, at retail, to a dairy farmer.

People who are NOT YET involved (target market for prospects) in an opportunity DO NOT USE TRAFFIC EXCHANGES or SAFELISTS. They haven’t even heard of them before some “mentor” suggested them as a free advertising source.

The best thing to advertise on a traffic exchange or safelist is free or cheap advertising. That is exactly what those people (newbies) are looking for.

QWIKAD is FREE-And has no problem with BizOp ads

Keep in mind that 98% of the ad owners DO NOT ACTUALLY SURF. They buy the space (as a “pro upgrade”), or refer others for their credits. So the only people seeing your ads are new, poor people, most of the time. That’s not a very good target market for anything.

The best way to make money (and sometimes a great deal of money) with a traffic exchange, is to own one. That way everybody who subscribes to YOUR exchange is on YOUR LIST! And all of your ads are free, and effortless. And you are marketing to the most inexperienced, who may fall for the hype. And to the experienced, who will purchase your upgrade. Many use this method just to sell and expand their original opportunity. It can become a free advertising source, and even a revenue generator, larger than the original opportunity.

You can get into text ad exchanges for as little as $8/month. Own one for $30. Or buy a script and hosting for a full blown exchange for a few hundred bucks. Or even get your own FREE AD Site for $24 upfront and just $14/month HERE

That is exactly why we designed LAD15 (Leveraged Ads) to be something that everyone needs, and can produce 2 sources of income (ad results plus ad spot sales). And it’s only $600 for An Entire YEAR-No Monthly Bill!One AD MillionaireTerms of Service

Many affiliate programs state in their terms of service (that’s the little box you checked as you first signed up), that you may NOT contact their customers for other opportunities  (even if you are the one who signed them up)!

 Depending on the program and the terms, many can avoid this violation

 by making them YOUR CUSTOMER, FIRST!

2 Important points I want to make here:

            1. ALWAYS READ the Terms of Service (TOS)

 I know it’s boring with all that legal mumbo-jumbo…. Protect Yourself

           2. Make them YOUR Customer First

 I hope that you have not fallen victim to this, but:

 I once read the T.O.S. for a $9.99 product that I was thinking of purchasing. In the TOS (not on the sales page) it was explained that they would also sign you up (using the same credit card) for a 35 day trial of Product XX, which after the free trial would cost $60/month! And, to add insult to injury, further on down, it was also signing you up for a 52 day trial of Product Y, which, after the trial, would cost $29.99/month! There was no “opt out”.

The reasons for the time delay and the price differences was evident to me. 3 DIFFERENT COMPANIES would now be hitting up your credit card, for varying amounts, at varying times, until someone realized it and canceled. They probably stole millions of dollars. This company was shut down, but the practice of cheating and lying and stealing (which is exactly what this was) is alive and well. The company stated that “all customers read and understood the terms and conditions”.

Protect yourself and avoid the headaches. READ THE TOS!

 If you don’t know who you are dealing with, then use a prepaid credit card, not your regular credit card, and NEVER a bank account. If you only have $50 on a prepaid card, and buy something for $39.99, they can’t get more than $50, even through fraud. In this example you could only lose $10. And you can dispute that loss, if one occurred. Or just use Cash.

 This does NOT apply to established payment processors like PayPal, {redacted}, ClickBank, and others. They have double and triple security layers to lessen these types of abuses. They are also very swift in dealing with reported cases, sometimes within seconds.

When filling out personal info and/or banking info online, make sure there is a little lock (down in the right hand corner) or that the address bar (upper left) says https://www.lad15.com/. The https is for “secure“, as in encrypted.

Each company or website has their own TOS. They are necessary, and in many cases REQUIRED by law. If you want to play in their yard, you must play by their rules. If you don’t want to abide by their rules, don’t use their service/site/company. If you want different rules, you must start your own, and you can write the rules. That’s part of the beauty of running your own business. You can write the rules.

Proof of Income

ClickBankProof-2013-a

Please do not buy at face value all of the “Proof of Income” items on sales pages. They may or may not be real. And even for the FEW real ones, many have spent years, and thousands of dollars learning their craft. They WILL NOT give you, a total stranger, the “keys to the kingdom of easy wealth” for $37, $67, $997 or whatever is the going “7” rate is today.

No one in their right mind would publicly share what they have actually made, online, as the taxing authorities (IRS, etc) also have access to the internet. I have yet to see a tax document “proving” these incomes.

Also left out of these claims, is HOW MUCH WAS SPENT to get these figures. If someone spends $9,000 on an adwords campaign, and makes $10,000, they are being honest (albeit a little deceiving) when they show “proof of their $10,000 income“.

Heck, they might have even spent $15,000, and can still show you

 “Proof of $10,000 made in 1 week”

When the truth is that they actually LOST $5,000. They will make up for it when a few fools rush over to buy their shiny new program or secret that “Makes $10,000/week!” for $1,997.00 .

(They only need 5-LOL)

Note: It ain’t a secret if anyone with money can buy it. It’s a product!

At LAD15.com they sell ad space for $600. If we (the affiliates) sell 1,000 this month, they could honestly??? show you proof of $600,000 going into their account for the month.  The NON-LIE is that the members benefit much more than the company does, because that’s the design of that specific business model, But they could show you proof of $600,000 made in a month! They won’t.

One AD Millionaire

 Please Note:

 ClickBank is a top notch, legitimate, affiliate system with more than 40,000 digital products, and more than 1 million affiliates (less than 10% who actively participate)

That said, there are a lot of sales pages that now include Clickbank results on their sales pages (screen-shots and/or video). Are those results from what they are purporting to sell to you?

Or their own efforts? Or the efforts of affiliates? Or the results of their very connected mailing list “friends”?   (sometimes in excess of several million-total)

What did it cost those affiliates to get those sales and commissions? How much of that was paid to affiliates, JV partners, etc.? How much was given back as refunds? When they show “this account” and “that account”, they are showing you the results of the upsell(s) also?

“Proof of income” is just another graphic to me. No different than a picture of a frog on a balloon. Might be real, Might not. And IT IS NOT WHAT YOU WILL MAKE (until you have put in the time effort and expense to create your own-if ever!).

Anyone who is dumb enough to let the authorities know what they made before they do their taxes, and post it in public, is not someone I would do business with anyway.

The latest and greatest LIE is the “100% commission” model

First off, it is NOT 100% if you also have to pay a monthly affiliate fee.

It is NOT 100% if you “pass up” sales.

And it is definitely NOT 100% if they charge a 6% or 7% processing fee

 (the norm is around 3%).

And some even “hold” 10% for 6 months or longer!

The TRUE percentage varies from program to program, but

NO ONE PAYS 100% They would go out of business if they did.

The closest to a real 100% Program is 25 Dollar 1 UP. There are NO MONTHLY FEES! There is, however, a 1-time $10 hosting/setup fee that is NON-commission-able. And you will pass up your 2nd customer. Other than that, it really is 100% MEMBER-TO-MEMBER DIRECT & INSTANT Pay system.

Is Outsourcing Good or Bad?

How Much of Your Life Do You REALLY Outsource?
It actually will astound many to find out they already outsource most of their daily life.

Most outsource the news (TV, Radio, Newspapers, etc)
The vast majority outsource their food (farmers, grocers, etc)
95% outsource food preparation (wives/husbands, restaurants, etc)

We outsource our power (electric companies), our water (public utilities), our communications: phones, cell phones, social media
along with the materials to use them.
Even our transportation is outsourced (autos, buses, trains, taxis, airlines)
Even when we drive ourselves, we have usually outsourced the fuel, the manufacture, the design, the production, the delivery, or some or most of these things.

The same goes for almost everything we use everyday. From toilet paper to housing.

Then we pay even more to outsource the risk (insurance companies, stocks, bonds).
Most of our entertainment is outsourced (movies, TV, music, internet, sports, theme parks, concerts)
Some even outsource their children’s care: daycare, nannies, schools, etc.

There is less and less “SELF RELIANCE”.

With that, comes the devastating risk of losing the one thing that keeps it all running.
INCOME!
We have outsourced that too. Usually,  to ONE person or company.
Making for a concentrated risk of losing everything, fast!
The proof was in the “financial collapse“.
Too much power in the hands of too few.

To spread out your income risk, or just to start a side hustle,

Don’t Give Up-Follow UP

Are you struggling? Are You Advertising Your Link? Are you following up?

There are so many scams, that it has made people “gun-shy”/”email averse”. Be yourself, and FOLLOW UP.

Here’s the data the National Sales Executive Assn compiled:

2% of sales are made on the first contact <<–This is where many quit marketing!

3% of sales are made on the 2nd contact

5% of sales are made on the 3rd contact

10% of sales are made on the 4th contact

80% of sales are made on the 5th-12th contact !

The difference between who is making THAT 5th-12th Contact (80% of SALES!), is YOUR followup (or someone else’s).
Did YOU sign up the very 1st time you heard about something?
Why would you expect others to?
Use Aweber TO DO THIS automatically. USE IT.

As you can see from the chart above, IT IS A NECESSARY TOOL for marketers.

Time is our most valuable asset.

Time is our most valuable asset.

Many people don’t want to learn what it takes to generate an Auto Income.

Notice that I DID NOT say INSTANT INCOME

If you currently have or are looking for “a job”, you will be spending your time (and sometimes money: resumes, travel, suits, parking, licenses, etc) just to work for a set price per hour, per mile, per week or per year, or whatever the rate.

If you invest that exact same amount of time in a business, or an opportunity, then work hard at learning what it takes to do it well (just like a job), in 3 – 6 – 9 months -or even a year, the income will continue to flow with or without your actual working (unlike a job).

One AD Millionaire

There are many thousands of opportunities for income that do not involve “a job”. But, If you want it to produce an INCOME, treat it like a job, not a hobby.

Look over many to find one that suits you, and your interests. Then (although many people do this first) look over and understand the compensation plan. Make sure that it will be worth your time and trouble to build upon that particular model.

Weight loss opportunities are a great example, and are very attractive and lucrative for many. But not long term for most. If the product is GOOD people will only need it for a few months. If the product is bad, you will spend all of your time trying to recruit more and more suckers.

The things that I like to promote are the tools that help any business become more successful. The weight loss people can use it. Realtors can use it. MCA people can use it. Empower Networks folks are using it. Online and offline businesses can benefit from good solid simple marketing tools, like a FREE page/funnel builder, hosting, and the holy grail: ADVERTISING!

The long term advantage, is people will use these to grow their current business, but even if they move on to another business, these tools will still be of great value, so the long term usability is a must in my book.

Lower turnover. Less recruitment. Built in training and tools.

Mark Twain once wrote:

When everyone is mining for gold, sell them picks and shovels”

Use your time wisely. We each have only a finite amount of it to use.

Making Money From Home!

LEVCash.com  Welcome. I hope you get some useful information here.

Making money from home can seem both easy and hard. It can also be fast or slow. It can generate huge sums, or cost you a fortune. With all of these contradictions,

How can the average person make some decent money working from home?

Sponsored by:One AD Millionaire

The absolute key is focus and determination. Not money or intellect.

You do need to have some money, and some intellect, though.

I do have a FREE TRAINING available where You can Learn To Earn, starting with Zero Dollars.  A lot is contained in this blog,  not just this post. (Free Page Builder & FREE Training Groove-Guy.com)

The average online marketer has absolutely no idea on how, what, where, and why to start their new endeavor.

We become pulled and bullsh***’d from all directions.

The one thing I can tell you for sure is there is no simplebuy this and get rich”  plan. YOUR EFFORT will ALWAYS be required!

That being said there are some ways that are quicker than others. And some that cost less, or more, than others. But that should not be the determining factor for YOU!

What do you want and/or need?

What will make you happy (or at least NOT MISERABLE)?

That is where you need to focus.

I can give you ideas and suggestions, but it is ultimately YOU who should judge if anything is right for you (both personally and financially).

Many are looking for an Automatic Income.
Since we all have automatic bills coming in all the time in the form of rent or mortgages, cell phone bills, telephone bills, internet, cable, clothing, food, electricity, transportation, insurance (many kinds), water, gas, taxes, and the list goes on,

so too should we have a way to generate money to pay for these things, AUTOMATICALLY, WITHOUT trading time for dollars. As in a job, where you get paid based on how long you work.

Not on how hard or how successfully you work, but strictly based on how long you are willing to do whatever they want done for the price they are willing to give you, and under the conditions that they set (time, vacation, benefits, etc).

That is in fact VOLUNTARY SLAVERY, or worse, prostitution. You are selling your life for Money. Hour by hour, week by week, month by month, or, year by year.
And many are doing it for far less than the average prostitute makes, but more than slaves made. Or do they? Many slave owners provided housing, clothing, and food, to protect their “investment”.

I do realize that it is hard to find a legitimate way out of the rat race, but many are doing it everyday.

Sales! Salespeople are paid on performance, not just for showing up and clocking in.
But not everybody is cut out to sell. That’s where the beauty of the internet comes in.

Sites do the selling. You do the inviting.
You just need to guide the right customers there, so the site can sell on your behalf. Sites take the rejections, and the payments.
And they can make you rich. Quickly!

LEVCash.com

Getting Rich Slowly is what you have been taught and it is WRONG.              How long have you been working? Are you getting closer?
When you need money to fix your car, or patch a roof, or to start a business, or go to the doctor, you need it now. They want their money now. QUICK.
So why would so many be afraid to get rich quick.  Many rich people get poor quick. Usually through bad decisions on their (or someone else’s) part.
That exact same scenario plays out when it comes to changing your mindset to actually DO SOMETHING to GET RICH QUICK. Make good decisions.
This site makes me money. I don’t sell you a darn thing, personally. I simply make it available and if you like or want it, you may actually join, or click, or purchase, and I will then make a little each time. Since 2012!!!!!!
If I then multiply that by a lot, means….. a lot!

Many opportunities are designed to have you get poor slowly, so that you don’t realize that they are bleeding you dry. “Join This for only $37“. “Get this upgrade for only $197 more“. Have you seen this? (See “LIES” post)


If you have been online for more than a week, you have. If you have a twitter account, you have. If you have Facebook account, you have. If you have email, you have seen this.
Why is it so pervasive. Because it works! That’s why. The sheep fall into the trap and then the hunters gather around for the kill.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just pay a fee, upfront, ONE-TIME, and be done with all of those other “upgrades”, and expenses. You don’t need another monthly bill, do You?

What if you had the potential of becoming a Millionaire in 6 months?              Just the potential. It may not happen. But then again, what if it DID HAPPEN? Would that interest you enough to at least see what it is all about? And if it were something that you might be able to do without interfering with your budget or your life.? What if your free report, that is only a few pages, and takes less than 10 minutes to read, could set you on a dramatically different path than you are currently on? Do You have 10 minutes?

If you really want to find out how to have an Automatic Income (this site by the way is AutoInco.me -That’s (dot) .menot dot com) then get the free report, and use up 10 minutes. It may just be the best 10 minutes you spend of your life.
