Aha. Internet Marketing. There we go.
It goes like this: You usually see those “Make Money On the Internet” ads while you’re surfing. Then one dawn, after 22 hours at the sweatshop, you realize that it’s all pointless, and you’ve been using your massive brilliance for evil, making some overlord rich and famous while you, unknown almost burnt-out sweatshop worker,are doomed to die poor and obscure while your boss laughs his evil laugh all the way to the bank. You figure one day soon, you’re going to have to chuck it all in, and there has to be a better way. It stays in your mind for a while, and because the law of attraction really does work, no matter what they say, disaster strikes. You lose everything you’ve worked for, and you need a whole lot of money. Hopefully, soon. You figure, what the hell, you’re brilliant, you’ve lost everything anyway, you have nothing more to lose. So you make sure your antivirus program is on, click on one of those ads with your fingers (on the other hand, of course) crossed, and hope against hope that at least one of those people trying to sell you something believe in truth in advertising.\So you check your PayPal account, see that you have 32 dollars there, and plunk $27 of it down into a” make money on the internet fast” product, go back to the merchant’s thank you page, check your email for the email verification, click on the link and see your download.And then you cry.Because the first download is a beginner’s guide to blogging that you already have gathering dust on your hard drive, along with a note to “Read this. When you’re done, proceed to step 2.” And step 2 happens to be another pdf file that you already have gathering dust on your hard drive, which was pretty much useless, but you kept, hoping against hope that you’ll get to use them someday.
And so on and so forth.You open the bonus page to find 77 ebooks on various subjects, more than half of which you already have. WITH PLR.Except at this point, you don’t even know what PLR is.When you’re done crying (quietly, so your family doesn’t panic, they’ve been worried about you so much lately) you realize you have several choices:
Go and hunt down the guy who sold it to you. You realize it’s not feasible, the man lives in a different country, and your last 7 dollars isn’t enough to buy you a plane ticket and a knife.
Ask for your money back. It’s almost a feasible solution, except you only get the money you paid. What you want is not just be reimbursed for that debit charge to your PayPal account. You need to be paid for the wasted time you spent trying to make heads or tails of the course, the opportunity lost, the almost-heart attack you had when you realized you spent some of the last of your money on this when you could have spent it on food. $27 is not nearly enough for that, hell no.
This is the third option.And if you email me, I might even tell you straight out which guy it is. But you don’t really have to. Because it’s right on this blog if you know where to look.
