I believe that 80% of business opportunities are scam because they never tell you the true story behind what they offer. Even those that are genuine business never tell you everything.

I agree Vince, I firmly believe that an online business is like anything else, it takes time and effort!

Obviously people do believe in them, or you wouldn't see them promoted everywhere. I believe sustainable wealth needs to be worked at, usually over a long period of time.

Hi Jules hey slow and steady is a way for you to select and build a credible profile online in your particular niche...leading to residual income from your building list of subscribers and your advertisements to that list...The other residual income source of course is to find a program that each member you enlist pays a recurring monthly fee. However that is a long term goal so advertising any affiliate links you hold on a site such as this....then go for gold for quick money.

Thanks Trev, it is interesting to see what others think. I am now a firm believer in the 'slow and steady 'model of online business, residual income being a priority for me now.

Lots of great comments here, and as a lot would say before you join any program do the research first...as for "get rich quick" Yes it can happen but only with the right education in marketing in the different arenas, and your dedication of how you set up your business model (by day, by week, by month.etc)

The Get Rich Quick Scams do work, but only for the creators and owners. STAY AWAY! Every successful business needs Money and/or Time. If You wanna build Your online business fast, invest Money! If You don't have Money, you need lots of Time to gain experience and knowledge. Even here, at Apsense I see, that Most of people are promoting products without any, or really low value.

I have never found any one that works in an ongoing fashion.

Kathy M is right. Do your research before joining.
Somehow people always go for them again and again. As Bettina says: "I believe that you have to work to earn money". Most people are too lazy to WORK!

I believe that you have to work to earn money. Despite I also ran into some "get rich quick" schema, but at the end of the day, I knew that this was a mistake.

Well said Kathy M. I agree with you. I research any program or offer that I have decided to take advantage of. There may be some huge missed opportunities if it is always assumed that if it sounds too good to be true, it isn't. Moving around the online world of marketing without exploring new ops will not get anyone very far.

Assuming that I was looking for a way to make money, I don't know how I would determine an advertisement to be a "get rich quick" scam just by looking at a headline in my e-mail box unless it was spam. I would have to look at the ad and do my due diligence regarding their claims. The old adage "if it sounds too good to be true, it isn't" is not necessarily so when it comes to online opportunities. No matter the opportunity though, it is vital to validate the information by your own research ef

Some of them obviously work, and many people buy them, so it does make money for the people advertising them. The trouble is which ones will work, and just like everything else if you take massive action anything is possible!!

Yes, there are many who buy into the quick rich ideaism because if they didn't, there would not be anyone else advertising them.
