Netted Webs!

My next website is up and running. I am very excited about this particular project because it is something I am passionate about – internet scams! Let me rephrase that, I am passionate about PEOPLE reaching their dreams, and I hate to see anyone scammed along the way!

I get enraged at the number of websites out there promising a quick buck or two, or one-thousand.

It’s like one ugly chain letter doing its rounds in cyberspace, perpetuating a myth that making money online is easy and can be done without any effort. And that to make money you need to be part of some special, “big boys” club secret.

Yes, it is very possible to make money online, and of course, the very nature of the web means that you literally do have the world at your finger tips – so the opportunities are HUGE! But do you really want to place adverts all over the place, promising astronomical rewards, when you, yourself, aren’t making those astronomical sums anyhow?

By the way, just don’t believe all the copies of those earnings statements that get flashed at you – anything is possible in Photoshop!

I really believe that you should only pay for tangible services, such as webhosting, web design, software, advertising, and possibly SEO services. (I say possibly, because there is a lot of information about this online already and there are many undeliverable promises made by some so called SEO specialists).

If you’re really serious about starting a sustainable online business, you should be prepared to invest some money along the way, but please invest wisely!

Okay – now that I have had my mini rant, let me get back to my website.

I might start posting some website statistics – I’ll give it some thought – I really don’t want to bore anyone! :-)
