I wander around the internet on a daily basis, not only do I find it entertaining but also a great learning tool. I recently came across a forum from a few years back, seems to be floating dormant in cyberspace now, but made for some interesting reading. I now finally have some words defining some moneymaking levels of achievement.
In this industry there are moneymakers, ok we play to earn, otherwise why are we here. It's a simple basic concept, as explained before, one spends money into a program (one which would seem to have a good chance of redeeming funds plus a profit from personal spend) This throws a different light on the whole situation when comparing with what popular monitor sites do with just putting anything up and promoting, some even "review" (hilarious word)but they give it a dressing down and say well the admin thinks he can pull it off blah blah blah, but we know he can't, and then mockingly, still join and show link to join, so they will get paid the referral commission. They must do this knowing that some people just join anything they put up!! Do they have no scruples at all??
Ok, back to moneymakers. We have all won and lost in this industry. Experienced is another way of putting it. To really appreciate the value of a win is to have at least at one time or another had a loss. The plan is to win more often and to enhance the chance of winning is to pick better options. We know that there are real people who make money on the internet, however we need to also be aware of those that aren't real. Fakes. Yes read the websites around showing how they earned blah blah, and yet they are selling their tricks and deals in an ebook. Common, blind Freddy knows that the guy at the top is the only one who really makes any money. You have to purchase the right to resell, then you have to work your butt off to on-sell. They call this passive earning, wow nothing passive about that. But everyone has their niche. I cannot talk people into buying anything, as I myself are skeptical at purchasing something anyway. So I have never been tempted to go down that path. Then you have a Flake. This is the term given to a fake who makes money at the expense of others. hmm I have seen plenty of them over the years lol even blatantly rub it in your face. Big liners and teambuilders come to mind, but other forum hoppers fit the category. But as long as one is aware these people exist, the better decisions will be made. But worse still,there are some who are a combination of a Fake and a Flake, and they present with a rather inflated Ego. These guys are deadly, and easy to spot with their axe to grind and regardless of what is said by non-conforming members to their way is the right way and the rest is wrong. One that on a par with a Fake/FlakeEgo but probably the same thing is the wannabe who somehow manipulates themselves, probably by deceit, to a position of power over a group of people. However most people are pretty smart and see exactly what goes on, but of course no one except those involved have the real info of the wheelings and dealings.
I know most would know all this goes on in the industry, but it's good to refresh some memories occasionally. Then again there may be some newbie's who aren't aware how treacherous this world is. It's not as easy to take people at face value in this world, many have different faces depending where you go.
So just food for thought.
Okay as you can see I have been doing some work around here :) I had a week off work (mandatory, yet they called it "forced leave" lol) I ventured up north for a few days and enjoyed the warmer weather in the tropics. Nothing flash, but it was a break. I actually started then and with doing my usual reading and catching up on sleep, well time got away with me. As it always does. Maybe I need to concentrate on one thing at a time. Hmm, now that's food for thought :) So holiday over, back to work for me and have some interesting stuff to share over the next few days.
