Blogoforum - Rich Pom Scam- NOT!

Make up you own minds people. Here are three scenarios.

Number one. The Rich Pom sells a document explaining step by step how to make money by affiliate marketing. The document costs $79 and if you have no idea where to start gives you some grounding and relevant information. Yes there are affiliate links. Why wouldn't there be. After all that what he's teaching you how to do. yes, I have bought the document and it has opened up a whole new insight into where to begin and how to begin. I have bought other programs that are nowhere near as informative or concise as this one.

Number two. A major options trading company invites people to free seminars. These seminars are conducted in such a way that it makes it sound incredibly easy to make huge money on the stock market. They convince people to buy their product for $3,999 with a money back guarantee that states in part that if you don't make three times what you paid for the course in three months they would refund your money in full. While going through the course they encourage you to use their online software which costs about (from memory) $99 a month to access. They also encourage you to make your own notes in the workbooks and to highlight sections of relevance. When you don't make the amount of money they say you will and try to make good on the guarantee, they point you to a clause that states that the goods must be in a resalable condition to claim the refund. Yes, my husband bought this program and after he died and I had no interest or use for it I tried to claim the refund. i was told, in no uncertain terms that because he had jotted a few notes in pencil that the guarantee was void.

Number three. Every day of the week all of you who use the internet would no doubt go to major sites such as search engines, community portals, real estate guides, car guides, newspapers etc etc. How do you think they make their money. Yes, that's right. Shock horror affiliate marketing. But I don't see any of you in here bagging the big players for making millions each month in exactly the same way as hundreds of thousand of people round the world are doing right now. And I don't see you bagging them for NOT sharing their information on how to do it.

This is just another typical example of Australia's tall poppy syndrome. Who cares whether you buy the Rich Pom's document or not. Not me for one. There are plenty of other documents out there that explain affiliate marketing, some better than other's.

The whole point of this is that why should all these mega rich companies make all the profits themselves. Wouldn't you like a piece of the action as well. If you would then learn how it works and use it to your advantage. It can be done by anyone who has a little bit of nouse. Go find the information for free if you like, but you will struggle without some sort of guidance.

I know which one of these scenarios makes me feel more ripped off, but you can make up your own minds.
