>> How much does that come out to on a dollars per hour basis, including
>> all the time you've talked to Alex? More than $1 an hour? Just wondering.Well my friend..your point may be right.. but that's an employee perspective point. You know what, for now it may be even less than a $1 dollar an hour..but what do you suggest.. that I quit ? is that what you tell your people if they don't make money right away in your what you do for a living?
The thing is everyone has to start somewhere, whatever your business is, and there will obviously be a learning curve ;)
>> I can assure you that the technique of picking up soda cans from the
>> side of the road and cashing them in at the supermarket works indeed, and
>> I learned that for free, too. I see people using this income-producing
>> technique every day, as further proof of its viability.Even though the same principle applies, it's a different context my friend, Do I have any doubts that picking up soda cans from the side road and cashing them in will work? Obviously no..maybe because our main source of revenue is tangible..Is there anyone out there claiming they make millions out of picking up soda cans on the side? never heard but I bet there are...BUT when it comes to internet..the game s different...source of income are often not tangible, a lot of so often guru claim to have the secret of how to make money.but won't reveal any unless your take out your wallet..
For a change I see a free method..is it worth it ? is it screaming scam? the only way to know is to probably go beyond the myspace page and and look at the FREE course, which he gave away as an incentive to his ulterior goal.
>> Doesn't mean it's an efficient way to make a buck, or that there
>> aren't vastly superior techniques for most folks. But for the people using
>> that specific technique, it must be the best they can do or else they'd be
>> doing something different.Everything is related to your lifestyle, while you can afford to spend $1000 buck or whatever the price is on a course, not everyone can or feel comfortable of doing so..and if a cheaper alternative is available to us..there is good chances we will jump on it.
>> I have very little need to learn how to make money from a 21-year old
>> music and film enthusiast who has nothing but a hype-filled site for
>> proof. Even if he does speak six languages. But your mileage may vary, as
>> they say. Carry on.Hey I don't blame you, ways of making money have changed during the past decade..and while having proof might have been sound reflection in your time..this way of thinking is no longer valid..as millionaires are born everyday
with nothing to show...(facebook, youtube..etc) thanks to internet..the "new" age!>> Oh, there you stepped in it with an ad hominem attack. I don't bash on
>> Alex because I'm jealous, or picking up soda cans by the side of the road
>> and need something better. The regulars know a bit about me, and
>> "cant make it" and "lazy" aren't on the table. You
>> would be astonished what I do for a day job. But I can't share it here.
>> Sorry.Agree, my ad hominem attack was obviously not justified as I do not know you and have no idea whatsoever what you do for a living, and I have been wrong to probably judge you based on a previous post...BUT the very same could be said about you...judging Alex by his myspace page, age and "hype filled site" without ever looking at the content...
Have a good day !

FIB - Scams 101 is maintained by Lesley Fountain with WebBBS 5.12.
| 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.

You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board. 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!!). |
