I am so tired of people trying to scam others online. It's ridiculous and quite frankly disgusting. Are some of these headlines familiar to you?

I'm not saying people aren't making money online, but the truth of the matter is, it is not easy and sometimes it isn't ethical: atleast for this guy.

We've all clicked that link. This beautiful link that promises wealth and treasure beyond all expectations. As you start reading the site, the overall look and feel of it seems very familiar doesn't it? Something doesn't seem right. Perhaps it's the 20 pages worth of sales pitch concentrated into one web page? Maybe it's the 30 photoshopped pictures of some person's earnings on Clickbank or some other affiliate program. Or maybe it's the picture of the site owner standing in front of his two sports cars, his mansion and his insanely hot blonde wife in the background. What's odd is that you saw that exact same picture with some a different prepubescent Indian guy last week. So the question I have to ask is: "Muhinder. Are you trying to scam me or is your wife a complete whore?".

There are tons of tell tale signs that someone is trying to scam you. A cheap website with crummy graphics and pictures that look photoshopped kind of lead me to believe that whoever is trying to sell you something is a cheap crummy bastard as well. Do you want some more signs? Sure. How about any site that tries to sell you something without giving you any details about how it works. All they can tell you is how much money they've supposedly made. I mean come on. If this guy wasn't getting real money online, how would he be able to pay for his wife's boob job? The best thing is, these guys want to sell you information or e-books that will in turn teach you how to make lots of money just like they did. That's funny isn't it? If I had access to a cash making machine, I wouldn't waste my time writing a crappy e-book about it. I would keep the secrets for me. Which explains how exactly these people make a living. Their business is to try to sell suckers a way of making money by selling e-books and information to other suckers looking for ways to make money. Tada! The circle of life is complete.

There is no magic system to easily make money online folks. If you want to work at it a develop a serious business then there are chances that in the long run, you can make a nice amount of money actually helping others instead of trying to just help yourselves. The information that these scammers sell to their customers is generic and fluffed up promotional materials that you can find anywhere else online for free. There is so much fluff in those books that the average user is lost, not knowing what to do next.

How do I build a website?
How do I drive traffic to it?
What is SEO?

There's a lot more to online business than just signing up for affiliate programs and registering yourself on blogger.com. If it was that easy to make thousands of dollars a month, everyone would be doing it. The fact of the matter is, there are already too many people trying to pull that scam off. Try to Google "Making Money Online" and see how many of those scammy sites show up.

If you want to make money online, be original and innovative. Take your time and help your customers. You are not going to pay that outstanding car payment overnight by registering to clickbank.com or any other affiliate. Don't resort to scamming people and don't resort to being scammed yourself.

There are programs out there that do work. If you have a high traffic website with good content, you can actually make some money selling good products and services to your customers. If you don't have a site but still want to make money online, you could freelance and write articles. There are tons of different ways, but for the love of all things Holy, the "Get Rich Quick with E-Books" crap has to stop here.
