Hi Roy,
I agree with Jim, there is no totally auto-pilot business out there. They all require some work. Jim mentions marketing eBay as an affiliate, but even that is not autopilot. I got involved with a program back on December 1, 2006 that I feel has a lot of potential, but it does require my promoting my sites. I have placed the link at the bottom of the page for the the program - it is called Build a Niche Store. I am an affiliate, but I have not actively tried promoting the site as an affiliate. What I am more interested in, is how easy the software makes it to build a site promoting ebay products and supports adsense links.
I have two sites currently up and running since December, and one has started making a little money for me. If you want to look at that site the URl is: http://www.nanstoyniche.com I have not spent any money promoting it, just posting ads at free sites such as craigslist and very little time so far. I do plan on starting to add other content(articles, free stuff, etc.) to the site to make it more attractive for return visitors as these sites can be customized by the user. My other site is www.handbagsandthingsweb.com
Good luck in your search for an online business.

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
