Making Millionaires Online

Oh God, please, please don't waste your money on this worthless e-book. The Making Millionaires Online site promotes an e-book containing a system that has made people up to $94,000 a month! Some copy from the site that sums up the generalized nature of the product pitch well:

"I have found a proven money making system anyone can use. You don't need any special computer knowledge. You don't have to know how to build a website, and you don't have to be a marketing guru. So what do you need? All you need to do is follow a few simple steps and you are on your way to making a small fortune online. This system is a set it and forget it system, which will virtually run on 100% autopilot."

Later:

"With my system you will be able to create multiple streams of income in a matter of a few hours. I provide you with everything you need to start making money online."

This product's only redeeming feature is the relatively low price for an e-book containing make money online or work from home programs, $29.99. The content on the site doesn't give very many clues to what the book contains, but you can tell it might have something to do with e-bay.

The actual e-book contains a series of sales pitches and promotion methods -- of course they are all to promote the Making Millionaires Online system as an affiliate. Unfortunately, the methods described are hopelessly outdated, not to mention exceedingly well known. Author suggests using e-bay classifieds and Google AdWords to promote the product, which you will sell through ClickBank. A section on search engine optimization is included in case you decide to put up your own site to sell this product. The SEO tips are rather outdated as well and include link buying and submitting to paid directories, neither of which are good SEO methods.

Bottom line -- there is absolutely no information contained in this e-book that you cannot obtain for free by searching, including the sales pitch he offers to promote the Making Millionaires Online program, which you can read here. That said, I did enjoy reading that Mr. Sebaa considers himself a "freaking genius" for mastering the art of link buying. Don't spend money on this program. If you want to become an affiliate, google it and steal the sales copy from the other affiliates already using it, or better yet, come up with your own.

globalmailing.net aka National Data Management aka Independent Marketing Exchange

Over at globalmailing.net you will find information on making $1,200 a week addressing envelopes. This is not an envelope stuffing scam! You will get paid $2 per addressed envelope. Copy from the site indicates:

National Data is a list management company that processes hundreds of thousands of names and addresses on a continuous basis. From our headquarters in New Jersey, we help companies around the country market a variety of self improvement and business opportunity programs.

So companies around the country need the addresses that you provide. It is more profitable than using worn out mailing lists or cold calling. Unfortunately, you cannot copy addresses from the phone book. You can register for the program for only $32.00.

The Better Business Bureau gives National Data Management (the company listed with globalmailing.net) a Satisfactory rating. However, National Data Management used to be a company called Independent Marketing Exchange. The Better Business Bureau indicates Independent Marketing Exchange is out of business. Independent Marketing Exchange is out of business for fraud. The state of Washington issued a cease and desist order against this company. So, they changed their name and started up again with more of the same.

This is an envelope stuffing program, in spite of what that site would have you believe, and a scam at that. Please don't get involved with this fraudulent company in any way.

VIPdesk

Here's a legitimate work from home company - VIPdesk. Featured in ABC News' "Help! How Do I Work From Home?" the company offers concierge and virtual customer service positions. These home based positions are often used by large companies to give their employees a break from running errands and create a better work-life balance.

The work performed by the concierge is travel booking, making restaurant reservations and recommendations, entertainment booking (e.g. purchasing tickets for concerts or other shows), occassional party planning, and the odd request here and there. The virtual customer service rep answers calls and e-mails, takes catalog orders, and may do product research and recommendations. Both of these positions require a training course, broadband internet access, and a business phone line.

VIPdesk is based in Alexandria, Virginia. The President and CEO of the company is Ms. Mary Naylor. The Better Business Bureau gives VIPdesk a satisfactory rating and has received no complaints in the past 36 months.

Bearing in mind that this is a legitimate work from home opportunity and that you will have to submit a resume and probably submit to a battery of other tests which may include drug tests, credit checks, and background checks, I still very much recommend this great work from home opportunity.

Six Figure Yearly

Blah, another e-book explaining how to use ClickBank. Nothing interesting here, just more of the same. The product costs $69.97, marked down from $114.95, so you are really getting a bargain! It's endorsed by two affiliate sites, http://www.homebusinessfiles.com/article-sixfigureyearly.html and http://www.workathometop10.com/index.html. Interestingly, http://www.workathometop10.com/index.html gave Six Figure Yearly a "difficultly" rating of easy. I guess "difficultly" is similar to "difficulty" if you don't know the difference between an adverb and a noun.

The Better Business Bureau says the company is owned by Grant Stevens who also owns Data Entry, Inc. at http://www.data-entry-inc.com/. Data Entry, Inc. is also a ClickBank and Google AdWords product. Six Figure Yearly was developed by a single mom named Michelle Campbell. She had to work really hard to support her family! I couldn't find out what her relationship to Grant Stevens is, but my intuition tells me the sob story I read on Six Figure Yearly is a hoax to move products; Michelle Campbell is probably Grant's stage name at his drag shows. Grant has a number of complaints filed against him with the Better Business Bureau, none of them resolved due to inability to contact anyone at the company using the contact information given.

The most annoying thing about Six Figure Yearly is the marketing tactics on Google. There are dozens of pages with unique URLs returned on a query, but they all redirect through some affiliate program that just redirects me back to Six Figure Yearly's main site with affiliate cookies added. How are these affiliate sites, which are garbage, getting indexed?

You can get information on how to advertise ClickBank products using Google AdWords for free, so I wouldn't bother paying for this e-book. Try reading through the information here. If you still think you need an e-book to use this system successfully, go ahead and waste $69.97 on Six Figure Yearly.
