The fake house of success?

Q:  “Hello guru-folks, I am interested in some additional work at home for my wife, so, I found your site. You strongly recommended this deal: “Michael Brown’s Niche Blitzkrieg System”.

I tried to understand: How it works?

Nobody (including you with your analysis) opened  this subject. It is SO strange!

OK. I tried to find any feedback or anything on pointed Brow’n web-site. No way! It is not a web-site. It is just AD with the goal to sell some “black cat in black box”, labeled as a Tiger (it’s my opinion): “give me, give me, give me a little bit money and you will become healthy and happy”.
:o )))

I am researcher. When some grandma will ask me about my area of occupation and about some fundamental problem, I can explain it to her in several phrases without math and special terms.

You presented yourself as experts in web-marketing, etc.

Please, tell me in e-mail: what is the sequence of actions of any user of this stuff. How he will get money? From whom? Why? Please some examples (not regular AD blah-blah-blah about prices and tons of free super gifts for me).

I will appreciate your correct explanation.

Thank you forward.

Actually, the problem is not in money to buy these programs, the problem will be, if this business will be just a little fake house of success.

My best regards

G.

And please a few words about Levenhagen’s Campaign Blasts Method, namely: how regular people could use these adwords to make money, whom you call about this usually? :o ))
(I understand – is good to get such diamonds. Unfortunately, diamonds are not a money)”

A:

Regarding Niche Blitzkrieg:
Niche Blitzkrieg is pretty basic niche targeting but with a twist on the upfront research that increases your odds of success.

1) Identify potential niches.
2) Do compeititve research to determine how
hard it will be to rank in the search engines
for a set of 5 to 10 keywords in the niche.
3) Do a test with RSS feeds using the keywords
to confirm step 2.
4) Build a niche blog around the keywords.
5) Build links via article directories and
social bookmarking and feeds.
6) Repeat steps 1 through 5 over and over.

You might want to get free training instead
to get your feet wet. I posted 10 sites that
give excellent free training. They won’t be
as focused as Niche Blitzkrieg, but since
it sounds like you’ve been burned a lot
you might want to start with them:

You should not START with Adwords.
You need to build some throwaway money for
testing as I discuss here:

As for how the “average person can make money from Adwords”?

They can’t. The “average person” will sit around all day doing nothing
no matter how good the information is that you give them.

Maverick Money Makers is not…

Update: Someone posted here recently and made me realize I completely left out some important information regarding MaverickMoneyMakers.

And that is that the philosophy of WorkAtHomeTruth is for you to be as self-funding as possible – in other words to make money with low-cost low-risk methods BEFORE spending money on monthly subscription products like MaverickMoneyMakers.

Think about it. Full membership for 1 year in Maverick Money Makers will cost you $1,164.00. Whereas you can get unlimited support – including a very active and helpful forum –  from a great product like Niche Blitkrieg here for a ONE-TIME cost of $47.  In other words you’ll be paying $1,117.00 LESS, getting high quality support and using a system to build income that is LESS RISKY and can be used to leverage into other forms of advertising LATER. Kind of seems like a no-brainer when you think of it that way, doesn’t it?

Nevertheless, I keep getting questions about Maverick Money Makers. In fact I got so many questions about Maverick Money Makers I thought it was a bit strange…especially since Yanik Silver had recently launched a product called Maverick Business Insider.

Let me be very clear about this, Maverick Money Makers is NOT Maverick Business Insider.  And as far as I can tell it’s a complete coincidence that the two sites launched around the same time as the MaverickMoneyMakers.com site was registered on September 4, 2008 and the MaverickBusinessInsiders.com site was registered on October 16, 2008.

I can’t really comment on Yanik’s MaverickBusinessInsiders’ course as I didn’t have time to review the first months material he sent. In general, most of Yanik Silver’s materials are of very high quality, but I’m not going to recommend something I haven’t reviewed first hand.

There certainly have been a fair amount of negative comments about Maverick Money Makers and anytime I see the old “As Seen On” claim my red-flag alert goes up. Usually it just means the company BOUGHT ADVERTISING in those places.

8/13/2009 Update: How “limited” is “limited”?

I just noticed this paragraph on the MaverickMoneyMakers:

Also, my staff and I can only handle giving personal one-on-one support to a limited number of new members at any given time in this program. That is why if you want to get in, I advise you to sign up now, today, before spots become unavailable again. “

So what is MaverickMoneyMakers considering “limited”? This seems to be a pervasive problem, as I just did a Mass Money Makers review of it’s sales tactics which covered the same sort of thing.

Of course, I’m willing to concede that if there have been no MaverickMoneyMakers complaints then it’s posible that it doesn’t matter.

It just doesn’t seem probable that it’s limited as I’ve seen so many affiliate reviews of MaverickMoneyMakers.

Now, I should state that I’m ASSUMING that any domain starting with the keywords MaverickMoneyMakers is probably an affiliate site. I just did some quick research and turned up what looked like close to 3000 domains starting with either MaverickMoneyMakers or MaverickMoneyMake.

The following is just a SHORT list of them.

DotCom Failure Test

Here’s a fun DotCom failure test for you and your friends:

Can you spot the reason this person hasn’t been able to succeed online?

Step 1: Read the following pages (REALLY do this and READ the discussions):

Step 2: Read this baffling feedback from a visitor to WorkAtHomeTruth:

“While surfing facebook, I saw this add stating; “I got $11,668.00″ clicked out of curiousity, was directed to another site that stated Step 1 Go to this link, fill out a basic online form and hit submit at Google Cash Only pay the $1.00 for shipping.

Website is [link removed by WorkAtHomeTruth as it's a site we do NOT recommend].

Think to myself, well, for a buck, why not. Click on the Get Google Cash link…oups. Doesn’t work.Do a Google Search. Well…now it’s 67$ to start up. Of course. Get the lowly living paycheck to paycheck consumer, needing even an extra 100$ a month to put food on the table -Isn’t it sad that we can make 90k a year as a family and still barely make it each month, without spending on anything other than food, gas and shelter?- 67$…meh it’s below 100 right?? False adverstisement. It says, Only pay the $1.00 for shipping. The “the” makes it seem like “HEY!! I only pay a buck!!” Prove to me that this works, charge me the advertised “buck” then we can see if this is a scam or not.

It is a sad world to have not only sick predators on the prowl…now they are hidden behind computer monitors, faceless, nameless and untoucheable, taking the poor dumbass consumer out for a ride.

What ever happened to paying it forward?? Helping your fellog man/woman?? Actually GIVING what you are offering-no B.S. no hidden agenda.

And the worst part?? You sleep well at night…”

Step 3: Look at those pages in Step 1 again (I’ve even added a few more):

Step 4: Consider the following:

This person wrote to WorkAtHomeTruth complaining about a product that WorkAtHomeTruth does NOT recommend and then is surprised that “we can sleep at night”.

Step 5: Read the following response from WorkAtHomeTruth to this person:

“I don’t quite understand your email. I have close to 10 separate pages up warning people about the types
of sites you mention. Here are a few:

http://www.workathometruth.com/blog/2008/12/13/bradsmoney-wheres-that-government-check/
http://www.workathometruth.com/blog/2008/11/19/google-money-tree-complaints/
http://www.workathometruth.com/blog/2009/01/05/googletree-complaints/

What does your comment mean:

“And the worst part?? You sleep well at night…”
Are you telling me that I shouldn’t be helping people file complaints with the FTC, ICE, Attorney Generals offices, etc?

I really don’t understand this email.

Step 6: Read the person’s response and see if you can spot the REAL reason she’s failing online:

“Hmm…the website I got your email informationand feedback form from was rather different and honestly, I did not care to take it down as it was just another random google searched link that I clicked.

Had it been clear that you are trying to help people not be scammed, I wouldn’t have emailed you. If you truly are helping and are successful (I have yet to find ANY internet work at home…initiative that actually works) then great.

Best of luck to you.”
