Update: This is an older Q&A page.
Click here to post NEW questions
I'm in the process of getting a F.A.Q. section installed at WorkAtHomeTruth which will also allow you to submit your questions.
I've decided to do this in place of the forum for now as it seemed like the forum was mostly being used for that purpose and I'm MUCH more likely to answer on the blog than in the forum.
You can post your questions here for now until I get the F.A.Q. section set up.
Thanks.

Bill, I have a write up called Are Fake News Sites the Next Gold Rush.

Hi Paul,
I'm going to repost my question here (with all th scams out there I REALLY need some guidance).
I'm not based in the US and I want to know what are the top 3 that you can recommend (programs, etc) that will give me the fastest ROI, will not cost more than $10 (or the minimum amount needed to earn online).
Looking for those that will give me residual income and can be done with working only 2-4hrs/day. Need your help ASAP, please.
2:45 pm
@ncm:
NCM, unfortunately, I don't think I can help you as that is what I call a "fantasyland question". In other words it's not a question based on the reality of how the world works. Instead it's the kind of question that leads people to getting scammed over and over again, because they are asking the WRONG question.
I've written about that in the write-up No Safe Harbor is Great for Consumers' Mindset
Most peopel would answer your question by suggesting article marketing, though. There are plenty of good resources for that which are free or inexpensive.
5:51 pm
Thanks, Paul for the eye opener. Never thought of it that way. Got two questions:
1. Do you know if freeandpowerful.com is Legit ?
2. Are your Top Ten Home Businesses updated and / or have teachings still relevant and can be applied today?
Looking forward to your prompt reply.
3:24 pm
Is this website not a scam itself? What are you doing besides debunking fraudulent websites and substituting your own? You get rewarded with HARD WORK, EXEPTIONAL TALENT, OR INCREDIBLE LUCK! That's it!! With all your recommendations, I have yet to see the brutal honest truth–these, and any type of get-cash-quick scheme have an impossibly low success rate. All of your systems fall under this category.

@Aurin Stanton:
Aurin,
The difference is that I tell people that the best they can do is increase their ODDs of success and that they have to WORK. You can see a few posts about that here:
I talk about possibly having to fail many times even with the systems I recommend here:
BootStrapping Your Business
Can you tell me how many OTHER sites actually tell people they might FAIL with the systems they recommend?
Here's another post that goes into increasing ODDs of success:
No Safe Harbor Is Great for Consumers Mindset where I talk about people having to think in terms of ODDs of suc cess rather than "guarantees".
If you look through the blog discussions I tell that to people on a frequent basis.
And where exactly on the site do I recommend any "Get-Cash-Quick" scheme (except for possibly ProjectQuickCash which was viable at the time and needs to be re-reviewed)?
This entire site is about having to WORK and WORK and potentially being REWARDED for your HARD work – NOT about "Getting Cash Quick".
6:04 am
Hi,
Is there a review available for PPC Classroom (2 or 3). Would very much like one as I was comparing GoogleCash, Wealthy Affiliate which you had reviewed already.
Rgds
6:57 am
@ncm:
Sorry for the delay. I don't know free and powerful.
All of the top 10 are still relevant except for M.O.L.B. and I'll be taking another look at Project Quick Cash. The ideas are still viable, but I think it belongs in a different section as it's not really focused on learning fundamental skills and a solid long-term business model.

My name is Rusty Newcomer.I am trying to contact anyone w/Work at home truth.I have recently purchased an "online service".Unfortunately it was before I found your site.However they have contacted me personally by phone claimimg I have been choosen as a testimonial candidate.At first I was excited because they claim they are going to "hold my hand" for a one year period to guide me through so they can make money marketing "my story".The big red flag to me, was when this guy said they needed money for the tools of theirs I would be using(claims tools are worth $3k& I would need to invest $1k).I really want to believe that's the whole truth,but after learning of OPM(other peoples $), I can't help but wonder if my $1k is their OPM.With no explaination of what exactly I would be selling or marketing(this guys job was to find out If I was a good candidate for them,and make sure I could go into debt for them)I was told to contact them if I could get the money together.As real of a "deal" as this sounds, I can't help but think that's a lot of money for me to get scammed for right now.Any input on the "call back for testimonial"? Even if it's not all they say it is, if it would get my foot in the door,I would consider learning from them,but that much debt to start?Thanx for your time & trouble,I would very much appreciate hearing what you think.

I just wanted to alert you to a new scam. I'm a writer/editor and answered an ad on Craigslist. The poster (Mohd Ibrahim) said he had a draft of his book that he'd just translated into English, but he didn't know the language well. He said he needed someone to proofread and edit the entire book (something connected with Unicef) into proper English, etc. The pay was $1,000 for the entire job, and Mohd wanted my assurance that the finished work would be perfect. After we ironed out the details and made an agreement to work together, he said his "financier" would be sending my payment, while Mohd would send me the manuscript. A couple of weeks passed and I didn't receive anything. When I emailed him, he apologized and said both items would arrive asap.
About a week later, I received a check from a corporation – no letter, etc., just the check in an envelope that had a return address of one state, but a postmark of another. The check was made out to me, but for the amount of nearly $4,000! I emailed Mohd and said there'd been a mistake.
THAT's when the real scam began. Mohd said that the additional money was for his "publisher" and that I needed to deposit the check, then send the difference on to his publisher – who just happened to be in Malaysia, and of course, he wanted me to send it via Western Union.
I replied that I wasn't about to take the tax hit such an action would cause me, and he needed to talk to his "financier" about getting a check cut for me for the proper amount. Alarmed, he offered to pay me the tax difference. I told him we wouldn't know the amount until we filed our taxes.
Meanwhile, he'd started calling me, but I don't answer my phone if the Caller ID reads "private." Mohd sent me two more emails, begging me to "help him out" and “do this special favor” for him, so he wouldn't make his financier angry. I replied that, since his financier only wanted to write one check, he should ask him to make the check out to Mohd; then HE could deposit it in HIS bank account, and send me the proper amount.
He sent me one more email, begging me to help him with this situation. I told him NO, I was shredding the check, and it was up to him to get the money sent to the appropriate parties.
Since all my brain warning bells were going off, I took a good look at the check, and it just seemed somehow “wrong” to me. I couldn’t zero in on what exactly was wrong with it, so I decided to do some digging. Online, I searched for the corporation name, found the phone number, and called them. I told the accountant the entire story, and she was horrified.
I told them what was going on, and asked if they’d ever heard of Mohd. They said no; when I told them I was holding one of their company checks for nearly $4,000, the company accountant came unglued! She said that any amount over $500 required two signatures; there was only one on my check, and it looked like a stamp. Well, it turns out that it WAS their routing and account numbers on the check, but it showed their old address.
She contacted their bank, then called me for a 3-way conference call. I explained everything again to the bank representative, and agreed to send both the check and the envelope to them the next day.
The accountant called me later and thanked me again for notifying them about the phony check. She’s worried, of course, because someone overseas has the company’s account information. They’ll probably have to change their account now, to be safe. Unfortunately, none of these actions will prevent Mohd and his cronies from perpetrating this fraud again somewhere else.
This is the first time I’ve encountered such a scam while working from home. I hope by reporting the details, you’ll be able to warn your readers.
The crook’s name is: Mohd Ibrahim; watch out for him.
7:08 pm
@Rusty Newcomer:
Rusty, that absolutely sounds like a scam – or at the very minimum extremely deceptive marketing tactics…but more likely a scam based on what you've told me so far.
7:18 pm
@Sami Thompson:
Sami, thanks for posting this and I'm glad you didn't fall for it.
This definitely seems to be another variation of advance fee fraud.
I've asked Lynn at http://www.eagleresearchassociates.org what people should do in these situations in the past and here's what he said about who to report it to:
"The most important place to report it to is the Post Master General (USPS).
Also, tell them to contact their local DA, their state AG, and report it to http://www.ic3.gov. Also tell them to contact the bank listed on the check to make them aware of the situation. Many times they're already aware, but to play safe they need to contact them to make sure they do know about them. Also tell them to see if the company from which the check supposedly was being sent from, as well as the company the check was drawn against were real. If so, contact them and let them know their names are being libeled.
Many times the companies named have no idea someone is using their name to steal. That's why we tell people to contact them. This way the companies can also file a complaint with law enforcement and the various regulatory agencies.
Always make a copy of the check and keep it for your own file. Make sure it is a certified copy.
You certify a check by taking it to the bank. They make a copy and they certify the copy they made for you is a true copy of the original the copy was made from."

Hi Paul!
Once again, excellent website!! Thanks for your hard work and integrity! I've read all three pages of questions/answers. Have you ever heard of http://www.misuniversity.com with Mike Warren regarding Judgments and Options. I've haven't seen any negativity on this, yet. What is your take on this?
Thank you for your quick response!
Kind regards,
Margaret

Hi Paul,
I found your site just a week ago and have become an avid follower of your site. Its a real blessing for a newbie like me. I read about your Top 10 and also Bootstrapping your Business. Before taking a decision I'd like to know if your recommended products/businesses are valid only in US or can it be used from other countries also. I'm not a US citizen and I live outside US. Would much appreciate your clarification.
Rgds,
KSS.
3:06 pm
@Margaret Hammond: Margaret, I don't know it and unfortunately the topics covered there are mainly in real estate which are outside my area of expertise. Hopefully, I'll be able to find someone trustworhty in real estate who will be able to field questions like that.
3:08 pm
@KSS: KSS, you don't have to live in the U.S., but there are a few countries such as Nigeria that tend to have a hard time getting approved in affiliate networks or by adsense, etc. – what country are you in?
6:17 pm
Pay me to list – what a joke! today they deducted $ 68.21 from my bank account. They say I signed up in June. I dont believe I did! But they have all my info, how could this be!! They will not give me a refund. I am guilty of trying to find a job at home! But that is no reason for people to steal from others. The president of "Paymetolist" is Tim Riggins. I say to Tim Riggins one day you will be sorry, you are a stealer and a theif. you are playing on the hearts of good americans! Whats your mom's name, she should know about your dirty deeds.

Thank you Paul!
I'll be looking forward for the answer in the future!
Keep up the hardwork! Happy Early Thanksgiving!

Hello Paul,
I am from India, and plan to do this from India. Forgot to ask, will I be able to receive payments in India through Paypal or should I use some other method to receive payments. Would it be possible to recieve direct to my Indian bank a/c's ( Ofcourse if and when I start making money online !!)
I'm definitely going by your advice and have shortlisted MegaClassified Millions & Campaign Blasts Method.
Thanks a ton,keep it going.

@KSS: Hi, KSS, I've been asked this question before, and asked some people from India and this is what they told me:
"Hi Paul,
Most affiliate programs (including a lot of CPA networks) pay by PayPal or by Cheque. All he needs is to verify his PayPal account, and a bank account to withdraw the cash to, or deposit the cheque into.
That's right… we spell it as 'Cheque' here in India.
So there we have it… You can tell him that it's all easy to set up and en-cash, and there won't be any issues, but you never know when Murphy's Law strikes… LOL, j/k.
Thanks,
Sooraj"

Hey Guys,
I am a student (limited budget) and have seen a few offers for free ipods and iphones. Does anyone Know if any if the free IPhone or Ipod offers are actually legit? I don't want to waste my time filling out a hundred surveys and was hoping to hear from someone who may have had some success with this.
Thanks

@zinymegan: Megan, you have to be really careful with those offers. Often you have to enroll in services that can be difficult to cancel.
You're best bet would be to check for people's experiences at

Hi,
I am looking for information on http://offlinexfactor.com/
You this be something that you would recomend?
This may be something I could do because I have more small business contacts than money.
11:01 pm
Hi Paul,
I want to thank you for the great work that you do to help us (work from home-wanna-be's) from being scammed. Please advise if you have heard of Independent Marketing Systems (Marketing Herbalife Products). I was approched by one of them and watched their presentation and I can't find much about them on the internet except landing pages of other distributers. Always sceptical and trying to find out more.
Your response is will highly be appreciated.
Kind regards
Pauline

Greetings Paul,
Have you reviewed CopyNProfit by Heri Rosyadi and Jamie Lewis? Sounds like an amazingly easy way to make money, so of course I am skeptical. Please give me your unbiased opinion. Thank you!

@Dyanna: Dyanna, I've heard of it and I doubt you can make money as easily as they claim, however the one way it could have value is to see the actual process they go through in running their campaigns.
11:42 pm
Randle, I don't know that product in particular. But it's certainly a hot area and if you have contacts and get referrals it could be a great area for you.
11:45 pm
@Pauline: Pauline,
Sorry for the delay. Spent a lot of time with the family over vacation. I'm looking at this now and should be able to tell you something by tomorrow.
12:59 am
Paul, I just want to thank you for your great effort in here, you are doing a GREAT job here…..I was just reading news online and came across this ad on the side bar and got tempted………link is http://newsweekly-tribune.com/finance/index-uk2.php?subid=gennetimageUK . I started filling the details without even thinking (Damn!), but when they asked for the visa and teh security code, it just kept me thinking for a while which lead me to a google search and i reached here, like a few others did…I went thru almost all the comments to get maximum info regarding this as possible…..And i did….Thank you, thank you and thank you so much….I too never ever read the terms and conditions of any programs i download and never thought it would be such a great disaster when u give out the visa number!!vey fery informative forum……U saved my life….Else my husband wud have killed me, lol….
Well, I have a question though..just to make sure i dont lose money even if not gaining any…….i have a food blog where i added an adsense recently…Would this cost me any money?…..
Thank you.
2:15 am
Hi Shabs,
Glad to hear it.
No, running Adsense isn't going to cost you any money.
Your blog looks nice, btw.
7:07 pm
The "Truth" is that in order to make money online or off line, one must work, no matter what others say. And you must invest money and time. As the saying goes, time is money.
When is too good to be true, it's usually is.
7:48 am
@Pauline: Pauline, I'll have to break this down into two parts.
1) I have no opinion on Herbalife one way or the other. The one good thing about the company is that they've been around a long time and so they've been scrutinized from a legal standpoint more than once and survived – something many of the big MLM organizations end up going through.
2) Independent Marketing Systems. Here's what I like about what I see:
They are focusing BOTH on the retail side and the recruiting site of the business.
The main thing you have to watch out for is if the team you join pressures you to "frontload" – i.e. buy or autoship a lot of product even if it doesn't make sense for you.
The actual company listed at the BBB appears to be Widmore Enterprises which has an A+ rating which is actually really hard to get in the "home business" or "work at home" field. You can see the report here:
http://www.seflorida.bbb.org/Business-Report/Widmore-Enterprises-Inc-7002380
The other issue would be how they generate their leads for recruiting – and what training they give you on the retail aspect of your marketing, which I haven't been able to figure out at this point.
From a marketers perspective it definitely looks like this company knows what they're doing. So the only real issue would be how much they're charging for their services.
If you get data on that and want to run it by me to see if I think it's reasonable come back and post again.
2:38 pm
Paul you are God-send. Thank you so much for looking into this for me. What I've noticed also is that there is not much information about their training or even their compensation plan. One can only get these details if you attend one of Herberlife's events or after becoming a distributor.
How ever, when I get any more details especially about how they recruit or the training they give, I'll run it by you.
Once again, thank you soooo much. I really appreciate the work that you do.
Kind regards
Pauline
5:52 pm
@Pauline: You're welcome, Pauline. Would love to know more about what you find out.
7:42 am
Hi Paul,
After going through your recommendations for a newbie in 'Bootstrapping your business", I finally decided to purchase Mega Classifieds yesterday . I've read the manual once and seen all the 4 videos. Yet to get started though. I had also read about your reviews on Niche Blitzkrieg, Campaign Blasts, and Affiliatemoneyrevolution. I'd like a couple of clarifications pls:
1. after reading about Mega, I was wondering what's the difference between a Classified Ad and a PPC Ad?. I know with PPC you have to pay for the words in your ad but in Classified you don't. but then both Classfied and PPC are trying to do the same thing isn't it – get a higher rank in Google inorder to attract clicks that sell your product. I know I'm being stupid here, there MUST be a difference but can't seem to figure out.
2. I very much wanted to try Niche Blitzkrieg / Affiliatemoneyrevolution but what really put me off is writing content for all the Websites that you end up creating. Creating a site seems easy but writing contents ? Unless you're very creative & v.good at writing or hire somebody else, how can a newbie be expected to continuously churn out content for hundreds of sites for hundreds of products?
Is there an easy way to produce content – I mean are you allowed to research and modify what you can find in Google and then make up your content?
Would very much like your expert advice,
Best Regards,
KSS
7:56 pm
h@Paul (Founder, WorkAtHomeTruth): HERE IS A QUESTION IF SOMEONE CAN ANSWER ME, IS THERE REALLY ANY SITE TO WORK FROM HOME THAT ACTUALLY PAYS YOU PROPERLY WITHOUT FAULT?? IF SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW SINGLE MOM AND REALLY NEED TO MAKE SOME EXTRA CASH AND IT ALSO HAS TO INVOLVE CANADA BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE I AM FROM THANKS
3:24 am
For the one asking about Mike Warren. Stay clear, big time scam artist. I fell pray once, thank god it was only about 50$. He has probably an emporium of scams. I don't know them all because I put that episode behind me.
In one instance, he was offering you to join his website. You would also receive free help overthe phone. When I called, it was some punk kid, when I asked for Mike himself (which was promoted in the add) he said he wasn't around and asked if he could help. The kid didn't seem to know anything and after I tried to reach Mike, the kid got really rude and arrogant.
After a few more days I got to speak to Mike and tried to sell me some products to "make it much easier and save time". When I refused he tried to tell me that for his personal assistance it would cost me $X for a month.
For that Mohd guy, that is a rather widespread scam and was all over the news as well.
Scams come in all different aspects and it seems like one dies, another one takes over.
A few tips:
-Beware when sending money overseas, even through paypal.
-Research the web for information if something looks fishy.
-Check out the Better Business Bureau before giving someone money.
-If it sounds too good to be true, it likely is.
-Stay away from "make money stuffing envelopes", paying for paid survey directories, JEFF PAUL, if someone has their phone number on their website, credit card offers either by mail or online, paying for job applications, assemble products, recruiting members for your downline…
I'm not one to talk but there is only three ways to get rich instantly.
-Inherit it
-Marry it
-Win from a lottery or scratch ticket
Also, you might see ads about making 500$ per hour playing online casinos. Run, those are crooked affiliates giving away a system that is either illegal or doesn't work. Those casinos, watch their players and those who win one day, will lose everything the next. Some casinos are fradulent or don't pay out. However, if you like to play, there are some good online casinos, you can check them out at http://www.casinotribunal.com. Also, if you are going to play, do not fall in the "bonus" trap. It will make it impossible to take out any winnings. Get on with customer support and ask that all bonuses be removed from your account, before you send out any money and take a screenshot if the confrmation that bonuses were removed from you account. Play responsively.
I believe the programs outlined and recommended on this website are legit. Don't expect to become rich overnight. If you want to put in the effort and you like what you are doing, the money will come. I've not tried any YET as I am doing EXTENSIVE web research. Sometimes, information that is being sold can be found for free.
For the past two months, I have been trying various programs and reading tons of material. YouTube is a great place to get started. Check out those persons for valuable information on affiliate marketing:
-Lisa Irby
-Rosalind Gardner
I think both those ladies are genuine and the info they give is GOLDEN. There are also a lot of resources through Paul's website, workathometruth.com. I start and end my days here.
Affiliate marketing is a job. One can never know enough and no one knows it all. On average, I am spending 16 hours a day just reading material but I am gearing myself for success. If you wanted to be a lawyer, would you not go to school nor read anything? Marketing is also a "trade".
Is there such thing as EASY MONEY?? OF COURSE!! However, it takes years of experience, years of "schooling" and years of trial and error to acheive it. Example, Wayne Gretzky did NOT wake up an amazing hockey player nor was he born that way. However, there are some exceptions. It's all about what you were destined to do.
So what will it be? make someone else richer? Or make yourself rich?
JOB = Just Over Broke
I quit my job because I was fed up with it, I'm glad I did because I am having the most fun I ever had. I don't make any money online yet but I met a lot of interesting, dedicated, knowledgeable people. That's also one thing I suggest. Contact some successful affiliate marketers. Ask questions. Some will not tell you anything but for the most part, I find a lot are willing to give some free advice to newbies.
My grandfather told me before: "You'll pay but you'll to learn".
I'm not saying to go quit your job and concentrate mostly on building an online business, NO WAY. Unlike me, most of you have families who depends on you. I'm just a young guy living with his parents who made money driving a truck for the past two years and living off Employment insurance with no bills to pay AND a lot of time on his hands.
I believe with Michael and Paul's help, I will be able to avoid working for someone else.
YEAH I can write like a mad man, shut it :p
Take care!!

Good morning Paul
No it is not my site but it is a good reference for those that are either playing or are THINKING of playing. Personally, I would only recommend to go with the EXCELLENT casinos. Also, make sure you read the TOS with a fine tooth comb. Those who live in the US MAY play but will not be able to take out any money whatsoever due to American laws, where you have to declare gambling winnings on income tax; which here in Canada, you don't pay ANY taxes on legal gambling winnings.
On another note, I been doing a lot of research concerning "buy targetting traffic to your website"… Is it worth it? According to quite a few articles on the web, NO. Those companies "MAY" send you 25,000 targetted internet users to your website but what they fail to say is that they either use a script/bot to click on your website or run a "paid to surf" program (That is paying people about $0.01 to $0.10 cents to click and your website is posted in either a directory or in a special browser that makes clicking on payer's links much easier.
One guy stated that Google said to him that clicks on his website were not registering or plain and simple, the figures given by the traffic company were completely false. Yet again, you wonder why Google would allow fraudulent or misleading advertisements but Google makes their money that way. I would really like to see a "report this ad" feature but yet again, your competition would abuse that.
I always suggest using the BBB before doing business with an internet company. I won't do business with a company that doesn't have at least an A rating to B at most considering what sort of complaints were filed with BBB. No rating could go either way. If you're unsure, you'd be better to avoid it for now or do a Google search.
An once of prevention is always better than a pound of medication. I learned the hard way.
9:12 pm
Hi Paul,
While researching for info on the Google money making scam I came across your site. After reading through the comments on that page I would like to ask a question or two.
I have a site that is purely informational. I put it together so I could share the information with those directly involved and for my own learning experience on building web sites. I average around 20 page views a day which surprised me for a site I thought would have limited appeal. The site also shows up in the top 15 in search engines – my stat provider allows me to see the actual page when I look into a key word search further.
I have two "stores" – one @ CafePress and one @ Zazzle. I average $90 a year form sales through there. I recently decided to try the affiliate thing using retailers I have personally used who I believe to be of high integrity. Nothing to show on that avenue as of yet.
My question is: Would you recommend something like the ad thing you mentioned in the Google thread? (ads get piped to your site and if someone clicks through you get paid.)
I recently lost my job through a reduction in force and I've been trying to think of things where I could make a little money here and there. Seen my share of shady deals.
Thank you for putting this site together. I appreciate your time in doing so as it can be difficult shifting through all the garbage out there. Look forward to your response.

@KSS: KSS, I apologize that somehow i missed this.
The main difference between classifieds as in mega and PPC is having to pay for the PPC advertising – plus with PPC you really need to develop good landing pages.
There are a lot of ways to get content that you can legally revise – one would be through public domain materials. There is a good primer on using public domain material here:
How to Use the Public Domain Material for Profit
There are also assisted writing tools that help you pull research together on a topic which you can then modify into your own content.
There is also what is called "private lable rights" which is existing content that usually (not always) gives you the right to modify the content, put your own name on it, etc.

@Ron: Ron, yes, I'd recommend you run Google Adsense on your site. When you get more views you can also add in Kontera or some other form of "contextual advertising".
You can see an example of it here:

Hi Paul, thanks for your reply.
While I was waiting for your reply, I happened to read a lot of posts on Fourms where a lots of people are complaining about how in the last few weeks their PPC campaigns which were running successfully for several months / years were suddently banned by Google. (pls check this link: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/AdWords/thread?tid=10f6e7de98b00eac&hl=en)
They say that their campaigns did comply with all the rules if not how was it running earlier, they ask. Is there any truth in this? It really shocked me also to know that Google also informed them that they have been banned from putting up any campaigns in future for LIFE. Can Google ban you for life, that too on a successfull campaign which has been running for a long time? If this is true, it really scares me to imagine how anyone(newbie) can have the confidence to try anything online when you know that any time you could be banned for LIFE by Google. I can understand banning a campaign but banning a person for life? All your hardwork & money going up in smoke suddenly without any warning ?
Pls provide your valuable advice on this Paul,
Best Regards,

@KSS: I looked at some of the disabled accounts and some of them surprised me – like a guy selling pneumatic seals. However, the main things is to have multiple sources of traffic which isn't hard to do.
I have a friend who was spending $500+ on Adwords and got his account shut-down and it barely affected his business at all, because he was using more than one source of traffic.
Remember though – that those are all PAID accounts – that change didn't affect organic traffic (free traffic) which is what courses like MegaClassifiedMillions and Niche BlitzKrieg teach.
