Scam Alert: Process Rebates Online

July 14, 2009   success   6 Comments

I know I’ve warned you against rebate processing in the past, but I got another piece of spam telling me I could make $390 a day from home. The offer took me to a site that said:

For Immediate Release On July 14, 2009, 9.00am:

Positions Available: Companies like Home-Depot, Blockbuster, Amazon.Com, and thousands more, need your help…

Get Affiliated Immediately And You Can Begin Making $390 A Day From The Comfort Of Your Home

You must be willing to work at least one hour per day and you must have a computer with internet access!

You don’t need any experience, special skills, or education. All training will be provided. And you can receive your first payment in as soon as 15-days!


Limited number of positions, check availability below…

I love how it says “get affiliated” because that’s basically what these programs do. You don’t process rebates, you promote other companies and get affiliate income. Most these programs indicate you have type or do data entry which translates into using a program like AdWords. And getting paid in 15 days? That indicates to me that the program will teach you to use ClickBank which pays its affiliates every two weeks.

If affiliate marketing is a legitiamte opportunity then why do I say this is a scam? I don’t like rebate processing offers because they use deception to make you think you’ll have a job process rebates. Further they make it sound as if all you do is type a little bit for an hour a day and reap in the big bucks. It just doesn’t work like that. In fact, done incorrectly, you can lose a great deal of money especially if you use a program like AdWords to promote your affiliate links.

If you want to do affiliate marketing, pick up Rosalind Gardner’s or Ewen Chia’s books or materials. They are reliable esources that provide you with the real deal and step-by-step help to make a living in affiliate marketing.

June 25, 2009   success   2 Comments

The NicheDemon Niche Marketing System

The NicheDemon Niche Marketing System describes itself as the “stripped down, no-nonsense, step by step version of niche marketing at it’s best” and its pretty accurate.  While there are lots and lots of resources teaching you how to make a living on the Internet, many get complicated and teach potentially costly methods (ie PPC marketing) that are usually better utilized later when there is a better understanding of keywords and copywriting. The Niche Demon Niche Marketing System essentially eliminates all the “noise” that comes with many other Internet marketing resources, offer just the very basics to get started.

The NicheDemon Niche Marketing System goes through all the basics of identifying a niche, choosing keywords, determining if there is a market, assessing the competition, and finding products. It takes you step-by-step in getting online including choosing a web host, buying a domain name and installing Word Press, tasks that can be overwhelming to the newbie.

One of the best features is the five day traffic building tips that give you specific marketing tasks, most of which are free or low cost, to start making money from your niche site asap. It then offers more advance tips once you’ve mastered the basics. It also provides warning on what not to do.

The Niche Demon Niche Marketing System is a good beginner resource. Its designed for the person who  knows nothing about affiliate marketing, setting up a website, or making money online. It’s straight forward and very easy to read.  If you follow the steps, you should have a good start to a money-making niche website.

The Niche Demon Niche Marketing System is a new product by Suzanne Welsh who is offering a significant discount as an introductory offer. The system is regularly $47 but through the NicheDemon Special offer its only $27.
