Seven Signs that "Great Opportunity" is Really a Scam
The Internet Marketing Center Team

don't get scammedThe Internet is bursting with excellent opportunities to make money.

... Unfortunately, it's also teeming with unscrupulous scammers who seek to get rich by scamming honest people out of their hard-earned money.

Today we want to help you SAVE 1000s of dollars by making sure you can recognize a scam when you see one!

One of the most popular scams out there is the "business in a box" hoax. If you are currently in the process of looking for a business idea, chances are you will come across this kind of scam.

The "business in a box" pitch looks something like this:

scam blurb

Wow, sounds like a sweet deal. Or does it?

Think about it... If a company is selling you an opportunity to sell their product, chances are they've sold the exact same opportunity to thousands of other people.

(After all, why would they limit their profits by selling the rights to that product only to you?)

That means you have to compete against thousands of other people who are selling the exact same product, with the same website, using the exact same marketing strategies you are!

Do you want be contending with that many IDENTICAL competitors? (Nope!)

Not only that -- if the product really was that hot, why isn't the company selling it itself, instead of merely selling the opportunity to sell it?

... Because they know they're not going to make much money that way, that's why.

To make sure that YOU don't get sucked in by this kind of scam, we're going to show you how to filter the REAL money-making opportunities from all the B.S. out there, with our handy "Scam Detector Check List."

Whenever you come across a possible business opportunity, simply consult this handy checklist. It'll help you discover if it is a real opportunity -- or a real waste of money.

You know you're dealing with a scam IF:

#1. The company can't prove a successful track record

missing the targetIf you've never heard of the company before -- and they can't offer solid proof they've got a successful track record -- then how can you trust them to help YOU make money?

Be skeptical. Ask questions. If they say they're a successful company, ask for proof!


#2. You can't talk to a company representative in person

angry phone callBefore you make a significant investment in a business opportunity, give the vendors a call. Talk to them in person. Ask them hard questions.

If they don't make it easy for you to talk to them in person, then don't do business with them!





#3. Former customers have lousy things to say about the product


lousy customer ratingsA little bit of research goes a long way. Try typing "the name of the program + scam" or "the name of the program + customer review" into Google and see what results you get.


If the majority of the results are from former customers saying the product is a scam or a waste of money, then whatever you do, don't make the same mistake THEY did!

#4. 1000s of other people are selling the EXACT same thing

too many competitorsIf your "business in a box" package includes a product for you to sell, do a search on the name of the product in Google and go through the results. How many people are selling the exact same product? Say hello to your competition!

(And how many of them are using the exact same website the company is trying to get YOU to buy?)

If a lot of people are selling that product -- and you can't see any way to offer a unique selling proposition that makes your offer stand out from the crowd -- then quite frankly, you're going to find it extremely difficult to make any money at all.

#5. They can't show you legitimate testimonials from recent customers

no testimonials to showIf you are making a significant investment in a business opportunity, the company you are purchasing from should be willing to put you in contact with other successful customers. We get this request all of the time, and have numerous successful customers who are happy to give us a personal reference at a moment's notice.

(If you'd like to take a look at how we use those testimonials on our salesletters, please look at our sales page for our best-selling course,
Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet.

Look for testimonials that names, photographs, and URLs, if possible. The more information that proves the testimonial giver is a real person, the better.

If the testimonial has a URL, go to that person's website and check it out. Does it look like the website of someone who's making good money? Look for the contact info on the site and then email that person to ask him or her directly about the product you're thinking about buying.

If the person says yes, it really is a good deal, and is still experiencing good results with that product, then chances are it's the real deal.

However, be on the watch for DATED testimonials. If people were able to make money using this package four years ago -- but the profits have long since dried up -- then the product's not going to do you much good now, is it?

#6. The company is charging YOU money to sell THEIR products

hefty price tagIf a company is making a product that millions of people are going to want to buy, why wouldn't they simply sell it themselves -- instead of making other people pay for the opportunity to sell it for them?

The truth is, companies like this KNOW their "affiliates" aren't going to generate any sales. That's why they need to get your money up front!

Take it from someone who has been running a highly successful affiliate program for years. If someone wants to become an IMC affiliate and sell our products for us, we'd never make them pay. Why should they? They're doing us a favor!

#7. The company makes outrageous income claims without backing them up with proof

false promisesIf a company says their product will have you earning tens of thousands of dollars within a matter of weeks, BE SKEPTICAL. There is no magic bullet on the Internet that can promise a five-figure income in 30 days or less.

The truth is, building a profitable business takes TIME. Sure, you can have a profitable business in less than a month... but you'll probably have to wait a few more months before the money really starts pouring in.

So whenever you see outrageous income claims, ask yourself -- where's the proof?

Look for testimonials that back up these claims. If someone claims to have made incredible money from using this system, track them down via their URL and ask them if it's really true.

And be sure to listen to your "inner radar" to determine whether the person is genuine or not.

Above all, do your research and ask lots of questions. If you follow these guidelines, chances are you will make the right decisions and pursue the right opportunities.


When it comes to online success, there is no magic pill. If you want to start a real business on the Internet you need to be prepared to put in the time and effort to build it.

... Of course, there IS one complete business-building system that DOES deliver on all its promises.

It walks you through all the steps you need to take to achieve a fully automated website that generates prospects and cash in just a matter of weeks.

Our wizard-driven business creator will help you identify a hungry niche, develop your own unique product, and then create your own professionally designed website that is set up to take credit card payments AND collect email addresses so you can start marketing to prospective buyers right away!

We're not going to lie and tell you that you will be making tens of thousands of dollars in a month's time... because only a very few experience that kind of phenomenal success right off the bat.

But we can say this: If you follow the step-by-step process that the BeBiz business creator will walk you through, you CAN have a website that will be making a profit by Labor Day -- click here to discover how.

Just remember, when you're thinking about buying into an "online cash machine" opportunity, use your common sense. Because if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Where to Find Information You Can Trust
The Internet Marketing Center Team

information funnelOne of the best things you can do for yourself as an entrepreneur is to soak up as much information as you can about Internet marketing, making money online, and building your business.

The #1 thing that separates "entrepreneurs" from "employees" is that entrepreneurs constantly challenge themselves to move forward. They work hard to stay on top of their industry, keeping tabs on the market, their customers, the search engines, new tricks, and old tried-and-true tactics...

...it's a LOT of information!

Not only is it a lot to keep track of, it can be tough to sort out the truly valuable information from all the self-serving hype. The Internet is swarming with people who are more interested in getting your money than in helping you make money... and some of them are awfully slick.

They'll tell you everything you want to hear, and it all sounds so good -- up until you notice that nothing they suggest brings you sales or puts money in your pocket.

So we decided to put together a list of all of the resources that the Internet Marketing Center offers. You can count on our resources to give you accurate information that you want and need.


Free Resources:

  • The Marketing Tips Report: As a subscriber you probably know that this newsletter is packed with the latest information and covers everything from tips on how to write compelling salescopy to revealing the fastest and easiest way to start making money on the Internet.

  • Bidding Frenzy, the eBay Tips Newsletter: Covers tons of eBay-specific information. It covers topics like how to apply Internet marketing principles to your eBay-based business, and keeps you up-to-date on the latest policy changes (and there are always new policy changes!).

    You can also learn practical information, like how to take the best photo of your product, and how to use video in your listings.

  • Our comprehensive glossary: All industries have their own specialized vocabulary, or jargon, and online business is no different. Not entirely sure what "bandwidth" is? Or the "first fold?" The glossary is where to find out.

  • Our YouTube channel: We regularly create and upload videos to YouTube. Some people find it easier to grasp certain concepts if they can hear them, or if they can watch them (we all learn differently, and we don't want to leave anyone behind).

    Be sure to subscribe to the channel, so you know as soon as we post new videos! Just click the yellow "Subscribe" button above the video.

  • Our Blog: Our blog content is always fresh and relevant, and we do our best to address any questions and feedback we receive. We cover a wide range of topics, and get a lot of inspiration from the comments and questions that our readers leave. Puzzled about something? Try asking!

  • Our Twitter stream: We tweet the latest thing we've discovered, ask questions, and even just shoot the breeze with our followers. Just want to drop by and say hi? Tweet us!
If you'd like more specific, in-depth information, you can get it from our paid resources:

  • Internet Entrepreneur Club: A powerful online business-building resource center staffed by our team of helpful, experienced experts.

    Members get: Direct email access to our team of experts; access to the private members-only articles, recordings, and videos; monthly online tele-seminars; weekly Q & A calls; a monthly newsletter… there's more, but this isn't a sales pitch!

  • Search Marketing Lab: Private members-only site where members get personal coaching from our search engine marketing specialists.

    Members get: Access to our search marketing experts; access to our members-only premium SEO library of instruction and articles; advanced videos on SEO, PPC, and link-building; and the Search Marketing Lab Report, a detailed monthly online newsletter with all the latest search strategies and major search engine updates.

So there you have it! The complete list of resources from a source you can trust. If you read something online and you're not sure if it's true or not… try cross-checking it against our information before you act on it.

If you have any questions about any of our offerings, please send us a message! We're always delighted to hear from you.

Winner for million Shares Announced by me2everyone.com

Didn't Joined me2everyone.com? you can join right now. PLEASE TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS TO VISIT www.me2everyone.com/448580

-------------------------

Hello KS

me2everyone launches early 2009 and until then, this page will tell you all the latest news. We will let you know about some of the great features that are coming and give you an insight to the team behind me2everyone. By December 2012 we want at least 100,000,000 registered members and so we want your help to start spreading the word now. Remember membership is completely free and all members benefit from the Ripple Effect. For now, thanks for becoming a member and sharing this journey with us!

AND THE WINNER IS:
Date : 13th July, 2009


It’s here! We have the final list of all the winners of the 10m share race. We thought about giving you some drama. We thought about telling you about everyone who won the 5,000 shares and slowly, very slowly, build to a crescendo where the big winners were announced. We thought about it and decided that our email box would be flooded with so many demands, that it simply wasn’t worth it.

The leading 10 recruiters in me2everyone are collectively responsible for more than 20,000 members and we think that’s incredible. We are contemplating putting a marketing group together with all the leading lights in me2everyone given complimentary membership – so long as they share their secrets with all members. More on this to come...

For now let’s tell David Carroll that he’s made 10th place with 1381 members. David will very shortly receive a bonus of some 500,000 shares!

In 9th place is Palani Ganapathy who found 1598 members and wins 600,000 shares!

In 8th we have Stefan Eremeev who found 1677 members and wins 700,000 shares!

Meanwhile in 7th and only a few members in front is Johnny Albert Stephen from the Pacific island of Vanatu who has wonderful ambitions for the people of the Pacific. Johnny found 1686 members and wins 800,000 shares!

Next up in 6th place is Bojana Mizdrak with 1792 members. Bojana slips a couple of places from the last update, but still wins 900,000 shares!

OK now we’re into the big ones – the members who win more than 1,000,000 shares each and we start in 5th at that number with Miroslav Anzel who uncovered 1856 members.

In 4th we have Evgeny Pashko who wins 2,000,000 shares with 1896 members. Evgeny was only 64 behind Sarah Harvey who finishes 3rd with 1960 members and who wins a wonderful 4,000,000 shares! However both were a long, long way from John Cox who finished 2nd with 3575 members. John wins 6,000,000 shares!

Well done to everyone mentioned and to everyone else who has not been mentioned so far. In the next few days shares will be added to every winner’s accounts and emails will also be sent to every one who has won. Introducers of winners will need to give us another week to finalise your figures, but we will get personal emails out to everyone.


THE WINNER

OK here is the winner of the 10m Share Race – the person who walks away with a potentially life-changing 10,000,000 shares. With an incredible and wonderful 4097 members introduced the directors of me2everyone would like to congratulate....

TweetLater.com Affiliate Program FAQs

Can It Get Any Easier?
To lock in a referral to your affiliate account and to qualify for earning commissions on your referral's purchases, all your referral must do is sign up for a free account on our system.
Now, it would be completely wrong to see this program as a "lazy man's affiliate program." Sure, you could just send folks to our website and tell them to sign up for a free account. But, guess what? Your conversion rates are going to suck.
To be a successful affiliate and make a lot of money, you must do what successful affiliates, who make a lot of money, do. You must pre-sell your referral. Without doing that, your results will not be as good as you'd hope it would be and know it should be.

How Do You Earn Commission?
You earn a recurring commission of 40% of the monthly subscription fee of every referral of yours that upgrades their account to TweetLater Professional, and you get that commission for the life-time of your referral's paid subscription to TweetLater Professional. That means, for as long as your referral pays their subscription fee, you get 40% of it, every single month. If they cancel their subscription, and later upgrade again, then you again start receiving your commission from the time onward.

There's no limit to the number of people you can refer. You can do the math to see what a great affiliate opportunity this is.

2-Tier Commission Overrides
In addition to the already generous commissions you earn on your referrals, you also earn 5% commission override on any of your referrals who also sign up as an affiliate. Note that it is 5% of their commissions that they earn, not 5% of the subscription fees of their referrals.

Affiliate Training
We provide you, completely free of charge, 30 video tutorials on affiliate marketing and how to get the most from our affiliate program. We truly want you to succeed as our affiliate!

Commission Stats and Alerts
We provide you with two completely free Windows programs that you can download and install on your local PC. With CommissionAlert you receive real-time alerts when you earn commissisions, and with CommissionStats you see all the details of your affiliate account right there on your local desktop or laptop. You can immediately download these programs from the sidebar of your affiliate control panel after you've signed up and logged in to the affiliate system.

How Do We Track Referrals?
A referral is locked in to your affiliate account as soon as the person signs up for a free account. We use first-party cookie tracking to determine which affiliate referred the person when they sign up. The last affiliate to refer someone to the site before they register their free account gets credit for the referral.
If you refer someone to our site, and they sign up right away, they are immediately connected with you as your referral.
We also place a 30-day cookie on their machine. If they don't sign up right away and return at any time during the next 30 days and sign up for the free account, they're connected with you as your referral (provided that they don't come to the site via another affiliate's link in that 30 day period).
Once a person is connected with your affiliate account, we don't need or use sessions or cookies because the affiliate-referral relationship is permanently recorded in our system.

How Do We Pay Commissions?
All payments are made via PayPal. Unfortunately you cannot be an affiliate if you don't have a PayPal account.
.
.
How Do You Sign Up as an Affiliate?
Click here to sign up and open your TweetLater.com affiliate account.
Once you've logged in to your affiliate control panel, you will find your affiliate link, plus other marketing collateral that we provide to you.

Where Do You Login?
Existing affiliates, you can login here to access your affiliate control panel.
