I must have missed some deleted posts or something. What's everyone got their knickers in a knot about? Love him or hate him, original or stolen, Don does have some good ideas. And yes, he uses every opportunity to sell them but I've seen him give away a lot as well. Not defending the man, heaven knows he will certainly do that himself. Maybe things have gotten a little out of hand here.
For most people Don's programs won't work because most people won't do what it takes to make them work. Most prefer not to have to do any real selling and prefer to dream about making money without lifting a finger from behind their computer screens.
The closest thing to making money without selling I've seen is Address America's Magic Marketing technique. It consists simply of posting flyers on doors. The flyer does the selling for you and you get orders like Magic. The first day I tested it I made $310 without even talking to a single person. The flyer took the order, I delivered the product, preformed the one minute service of installing the sign in the customers front yard and left an envelope on the customers door asking them to place their payment into it and tape it to their door because I would be back later to collect the payment or take my Nightvision Address sign back.
But you know what? I got lucky. Because if I had posted my first 300 flyers in another area I may not have gotten a single order and may have started crying that it doesn't work.
What I found is that it's easy for people to not respond to the flyer. But it's very difficult for them to say no to me when I'm standing at their door step with a smile on my face holding a very attrative address sign in my hand and giving them my 30 second planned sales presentation.
What I found is that most people just won't do face to face selling like that so they go hungry and continue to dream for easy riches. Let's face it. There are a lot of people who say they want to be in business for themselves but what they really need is a job and a boss that will give them the kick start they need to do the work.
Give them an excellent life saving product like the address sign in the photo below with a proven 30 second sales presentation and at leat 9 out of 10 will still fail to just do it.
Instead they will come up with all kind of excuses for their failure to act but they will not hesitate to blame others for their problem. They will tell you why the cards were stacked against them and have you beleave that they had no choice but fail because someone sold them a bum steer. Hogwash. Why wallow in mud when you can choose to roll up your shirt sleeves and go to work cleaning up the messes all around you?
That is one sure way to make a buck. There is always people who are unwilling to do what needs to be done and they will gladly pay you to do it for them and getting their business can be as easy as posting flyers on doors to advertise your Lawn Cutting Service, or Window Washing Service, or Addressing Service or other service. And if that does not put enough money in your pocket you can always go Knock, Ask and Receive. It's up to you . I'll help where and when I can but do yourself a favour people. Don't wait until you are to old to act and then come crying for help. God helps those who help themselves and those who provide service to others. And if an old man comes asking you for help.. be of service and help him if you can for he's your brother. To do other wise is to contribute to the problem instead of a solution.
Cheers,
Steve

PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
