Making Money In A Recession: Is It Possible?

In a recession everyone is scrambling to make money. What better way to attempt to make money, but online. No more rat race! No more going to work for a boss that hates you as much as he hates his own job?

Well, if you are like me you have also bought tons of products written by "experts". These so called experts all seem to rehash the same tired information! It is usually one of the following... Affiliate commissions (usually using Amazon, ClickBank, or Commission Junction), list building and then selling that list, attempting to write your own e-book to sell through ClickBank.

Not everyone is market savvy as these folks, and they know it. They know that they can sell you this information, and then you'll never use it. I have heard of people wasting a lot of money on PLR articles to attempt to build their own keyword niche site.

But now, I will tell you that these programs don't work. Have you ever watched a weight loss commercial? Have you paid attention to the small print when the woman in the size 2 dress tells you how she went from a size 18 to a size 2 in just 3 months? The small print usually says something along the lines of "results not typical".

So, you say what about the ones who have reviews? Well, as the results are not typical. There is also a line at the bottom of some commercials that reads "some actors are paid for their participation". Many reviews are either written by the sellers, or they have paid the buyers a fee to say something nice about it.

Is it dishonest? Yes. Is it unethical? Sure it is. Is it legal? Yes, there's no law about it online. There is truth in advertising for the media... But so far the internet is fair game. You have to weed out the good from the bad. The thing is... Sometimes it is very hard to do.

I'm not going to teach you how to avoid scams, but instead I'm going to tell you how to make money online.
