Get Rich Quick!!

So you want to get rich quickly and easily huh? My personal opinion? It's not going to happen. I'll explain why. I have tried a few "get rich quick" schemes and so far I have failed to reap any benefits. The two basic schemes are a random website (normally "get rich quick pyramid" schemes) which promise you a thousand dollars a week with almost no work and the offer to take surveys for money. Let's look at my personal experiences with both.

Get rich quick (work from home) -- I'm not a rich man. I have a little money in the bank but not enough to pay rent if I stopped receiving a paycheck. I saw this GREAT website which promised that if I would actually put effort into it, I would make a lot of money through their program. Sounds great, right? I talked with them for a week or so--making sure I wasn't getting into anything I couldn't get out of--and finally decided to send them some money to start off my partnership with them. I sent almost two-hundred dollars and received a box of products worth maybe twenty-five dollars. I then found out that in order to become a part of the program, I needed to make my first large order. This consisted of an order of OVER a thousand dollars!! I decided that it wasn't worth it and never followed up with their program, losing my initial two-hundred dollars. My advice on these schemes? DON'T DO THEM -- unless you have a lot of extra money and can actually try a few of them.

Surveys for money -- I actually enjoy doing surveys. Weird, I know. But, it seems like you might be helping someone or something by doing them. So I figured why not get paid to do them? Of course, I had to up my quota of surveys per day, but it seemed like an easy way to make some money. I never made a dime. Well, that may not be true, I may have five dollars in an account somewhere, and it's just waiting until I make twenty more dollars to get sent to me. Most surveys you take will "enter" you into some drawing to win an awesome prize -- probably just a gimmick -- and then a few will actually offer you a dollar or two but never the kind of money I wanted! The ads all say "make 75-100 dollars a day doing surveys" which sounds GREAT but unfortunately is about as true as the reasons we are in Iraq. So my advice on taking surveys? Do it if you you enjoy it but don't expect to actually make money from it.

My overall advice is to go back to college, get a degree, become a successful "whatever", and spend the rest of your life trying to win the lottery. That's my brilliant plan at least. Oh, and feel free to click on the Google ads!! It's my latest "get rich quick" scheme, which will inevitably fail quickly and horribly. If you actually have any personal experience of making money on the internet -- LEAVE A COMMENT!!
