Q: I order google cash kit, where the hell is it? why cant i seem to even email these people? i paid the damn money and i never even got an email. i am really getting pissd off. can you help me?

A: You are talking about a completely different product than the one reviewed at this site.

The one you are talking about is NOT on our top 10 recommended home business list and has NOTHING to do with the one reviewed at WorkAtHomeTruth here:
http://www.workathometruth.com/Google-Cash-review.php

These new products are confusing people because they include the OLD Google Cash name.

In fact there are so many new products calling themselves "Google Cash", Google Cash Kit", or "Google Home Business Kit" that I have no idea which one you're talking about.

Where did you find the product you're talking about?

Reply: i found product online when i googled "work from home denver".

it is some kind of work at home system that only cost $1.95 for shipping, so i thought it might be a good one.

i'm not upset about the money, but i was recently laid off and i wanted to start working from home. this whole thing is very confusing, and i do not want to spend a bunch of money on something thats not legit.

maybe your knowledge can help, lots of people say they make a good living only a few hours a day, i am willing to work 6-9 hours like a regular human being. if you can help, i would really appreciate it, i just want to get something started. p.s. it says you can start making money in 72 hours, and get a check in a week. thanks so much for your time!!

My answer:

What's your background. That will help. I can probably point you to some free training to begin with.

After that you'd want to move to some form of low-cost training with a help forum.

But knowing what your background is first will help.

Theoretically you can make money within 72 hours using what's called pay per click marketing – but as I discuss in this section on my site – most people will LOSE money with pay per click marketing first…so I recommend people start with something else:

Everything is about increasing the odds of something working – nothing is going to work 100% of the time.

Reply: hi Paul, i have marketing experience but not online. i have a company that i am trying to expand in the US, but i am not getting a paycheck until i sell some product, when i will earn a commission.

My Reply: There are a couple paths you could take on this (or both):

I'm going to break them into two.

Path 1) is to build an authority site – a large site based on expertise in the field designed to gain a large amount of free search engine traffic. WorkAtHomeTruth is an example of an authority site.

You can determine if a site is an authority site by typing the url into the Google search box. If the listing for the site has "categories" beneath the listing – it's an authority site.

Some of the free information that would help you to build an authority site while also driving free traffic from other sources would be:

• http://www.seofaststart.com – free ebook on basics of search engine optimization.
• http://www.thirtydaychallenge.com – free training on using social media in your marketing efforts. You're in a very competitive field and mastering the use of social media could give you a big edge.
• http://www.twitterhandbook.com

I'd combine those with additional online direct marketing fundamentals taught through the free course at http://www.erictips.com which should definitely be a part of your strategy and for optimizing conversion rates. The training from EricsTips is here:

http://www.ericstips.com – you can get to the lessons without signing
up for the newsletter if you want be going to the following links:

http://www.ericstips.com/tips/lesson1/
http://www.ericstips.com/tips/lesson2/
http://www.ericstips.com/tips/lesson3/

There are also 14 good free videos at http://www.affiliatemoneyrevolution.net/go/FreeTrial (NO cc) which will help reinforce some of the other, previously mentioned information – although I'd consider those optional OR you might consider the $67 one-time upgrade fee there as I've volunteered to help out in the forum along with the owner Michal Brown so you'd get additional help.

Path 2) Still requires you get some statistical data on your conversion rates – although it doens't have to be hardcore-accurate necessarily. I.e.,

Path 2 involves preparing your offer or offers for consideration by one or more of the affiliate networks which have large bases of affiliates.

I'd recommend we come back to that once you get more online experience. But typically the set up works like this:

1. You decide on a price.
2. You decide on how much of that price you're willing to pay to the affiliate network
3. The affiliate network decides how much of that price to pay their affilaites.
4. You have to front a certain amount of reserve money to guarantee payment to the affiliate network.

The affiliate network path can obviously drive a lot of sales quickly, but you have to make sure your offer converts well before approaching the affiliate networks.

Eventually you may want to look at some of the information from Perry Marshall here:
http://www.perrymarshall.com/products/

As PPC can not only drive quite a lot of profis, but also give you a lot of statistically significant results very quickly.

In the long run, I'd also highly recommend in investing in at least ONE of the training courses by http://www.marketingexperiments.com such as the Certified Online Testing Professional course:
https://www.marketingexperiments.com/ge3/offer.php?id=3

You will want to hold off on that course until you have quite a bit more online experience under your belt, but I'd recommend taking a look at their research archive as it will take you out of the realm of online marketing nonsense into how professionals run and test their businesses:

Hopefully this isn't too overwhelming for you, but it is all free and high-quality information and more suited to what you are trying to accomplish.

5/13/2009 update about Google Cash – it looks like the original Google Cash may be trying to distance itself from the recent onslaught of Google Cash knockoffs. The original Google Cash now redirects to GCWorkAtHomeSystem.com instead of AffiliateJackPot.

Important 3/28/2009 update: A new product is calling itself Google Cash. That is NOT the Google Cash mentioned at WorkAtHomeTruth. The new product calling itself Google Cash:

• Is NOT on the WorkAtHomeTruth Top 10 Recommended list.
• Has NOTHING to do with the Google Cash that was reviewed here.

IMPORTANT: The NEW product calling itself Google Cash  is promoted from a site called OnlineWizard.net and has a $1.99 "Instant Access Fee" and then will charge your credit card $49/month after 72 hours unless you follow the procedures outlined in their Terms and Conditions. I have NO idea what that product is. You can tell that it's a different product because in the Terms of Service it's called the Online Wizard Success Kit.

I think some websites may also be calling the NEW product Google Cash Kit. I'm not 100% sure about that yet.

The FOLLOWING is about the ORIGINAL Google Cash product reviewed HERE at WorkAtHomeTruth.

Is Google Cash a scam? Well, no. But something GoogleCash is doing now is quite scammy. They pulled MY testimonial from my review of Google Cash and posted it on their new sales letter. The took my testimonial COMPLETELY out of context. In fact if you read on you'll see I don't even recommend that you buy Google Cash anymore.

In fact what I say on the WorkAtHomeTruth site is that I do NOT recommend Chris Carpenter's Google Cash to someone that is new to internet marketing. Instead of the Google Cash adwords method I suggest people click here to learn how to start with a method called Bootstrapping Your Business.

And if you DO want to learn Google Cash type methods I recommend you use Matt Levenhagen's Campaign Blasts method instead.

I see that Google Cash is now falling back on the "magic money" claim that you can make money at the system by spending only a few hours a week which while might be somewhat true after you've studied and used such a system for a year or so. But about 1 in a MILLION people would be able to do that right off the bat at all. And almost always you DO need a website to be able to do that.

Plus they're honing in on the dream of making money without a website. That's certainly possible these days but now the Google Cash system is probably one of the WORST and hardest ways to go about it.

In fact, one of the easiest, newbie friendly ways to make money without a website now is the Kindle Profits Exposed system which leverages the traffic of the multi-billion dollar company Amazon.com.

So. Is Google Cash a scam? Well, no. But I do NOT recommend GoogleCash at ALL anymore and they are nowhere to even be found on our Top Ten Home Businesses list.

Note: In order to clear up the confusion about which Google Cash is reviewed at WorkAtHomeTruth, I've posted information below:

• GoogleCashGenerator.info promotes something called Google Cash Kit and sends their visit to the Google Cash product at TheOnlineWizard site – which is NOT the Google Cash reviewed at WorkAtHomeTruth.

Also, the following products have NOTHING to do with the original Google Cash product from 2003/2004:

• Easy GoogleCash
• GoogleMoney – a.k.a. GoogleMoneySystem
• Google FastCash
• Google CashKit
• Make GoogleCash
• GoogleCash Starter Kit
• GooglePayoutSystem
• GoogleCash Center
