Companies selling Get-Rich-Quick schemes - For Real or Not?

Here is a link to one of these which was sent to me by a poor soul who bought it.
http://floodle.net/extra/ebayinfo/35000.html
this one is only for 35k a year tho - so you'll have to do it 3 times...
The millionaire ones are all based on what nej said - affiliate schemes pointing to the sellers website.
The concept is this:
I sell a downloadable info pack on my web site for £40 (i.e. £40 pure profit), if you send people to my website AND they buy the product I will give you £10 as a referral fee. In theory if you send 10,000 buyers to my website a year you would make 100,000 a year. The seller will of course tell you that this is possible and many others are doing it. The £40 info pack is the one you have to buy so in reality this is a variation on a pyramid scheme except the scheme creator always stays on top of the pyramid.

basically ppl who make these schemes up know theres alot of ppl out there that wanna be better off cuzs everyone wants too be better off then they already are,..
theres no way to easy money,. only hard work and alot of hours,. of course u got the illegal ways but u got hight amounts of stress and paranoia to fight off,.0 -
I think the simplest way to look at these schemes is this:
If the scheme vendor really has a scheme that can be used to make significant amounts of money, (whether or not you need to put in just a few hours a week, or a realistic amount of effort), then why do they not simply employ people to do the work at the lowest feasible wages and keep the money themselves.
Ask yourself what you would do if you knew a way to make, say, £50 for every hours work you did.
a) Employ a few people to do it full time and make £2000 a week from each of them, paying out perhaps £400 (nearly twice minimum wage).
b) Write a guide telling other people how to get in on your money making scheme, thus providing competition that will inevitably be detrimental to your own activities in the field.
The answer is always a. That's how businesses work.0 -
I really despair of all the doom-mongers on this thread. I have bought several of these schemes and they were all BRILLIANT..
for example,
I now buy houses for £39 and Porsches for £1.47 because I know where all the special auction are.
I make £20,000 per week without lifting a finger becasue my 'downstream' sells £20,000,000 worth od vitamin pills (all to one sad deranged person in Bognor)
I make £50,000 a week selling 'information' on the web
oh and only last week I made £3.5M (that's million) by helping a lovely gentleman in Africa to get all his money away from the evil government
I also win (on average) 5 TV's a week just by calling a premium rate telephone line.
I can't believe that you don't want to give your money to a complete stranger.
HTH you make your mind up0 -
BFG
I will very kindly take a Porsche off your hands for £2 - giving you a slight profit.

I'll take the porsche and the house for £50 quid, but that's the top of my budget until I sell another 10000000 info packs on the net
