More money-making schemes

Going through the results of a search for the keyword "making money online" gets you a slew of sites offering you lots and lots of money. They seem to follow a common formula: they make their pitch and they whet your appetite; they give you testimonials and proof of earnings for doing practically nothing; they ask you to sign up for more information on more ways of making money and that is just what I did. I signed up for everything that looked promising.

They freely offer you advice, Internet tips and advertising tricks and secret techniques which are very helpful. Free advice is easy to get on the Internet and I am all for it and take full advantage of it so long as I don't have to pay while I'm making up my mind.

The offshoot of this is that I get bombarded with emails everyday explaining this way and that way to make tons of money without lifting a finger well, they do say you have to work for about 15 minutes more or less. Patient man that I am, I read through all of their emails and I follow the links and read everything that they have to say to me and all their prospective customers. One thing is abundantly clear:

• They're making lots of money, you want to be like them and cash in on a sure thing.
• They want you to make money just like they do and they are willing to teach you how.
  
• They want you to plunk in your dollars for them to help you make lots of money.

Being a cautious man, I let them go through the whole pitch and I examine each and every one of their schemes. There are some which I think are reasonably presented and I keep them in the back of my mind for more investigation. There are some with very innovative ideas which could work but not without a large investment of time and some enrollment fee on your part. When hunting for the real deal, one has to be very patient so as to separate the chaff from the grain.
