Clickbank Scam Alert

Clickbank Scam Alert - Must Read

Author: Jack Sinclair

Clickbank is a well-known, well run company that allows anyone to sell digital products online. All the products sold on Clickbank must provide instant access to purchases, so people can get their purchase within seconds of making the purchase. Their business model has allowed some well known personalities to become wealthy online, simply by selling a product on Clickbank.



But did you know that Clickbank is home to one of the biggest running scams of all time? The biggest scam on Clickbank works using a bait and switch method.



Here's how it works: Someone comes up with a way to make money online, but for one reason or another, they don't keep it to themselves and continue making money. What they do instead is create an information product that describes (hopefully) the method they used to make money online, and they list their product online using Clickbank, where thousands of affiliates can promote it for them.



Then thousands of people buy the money making guide, try the method, and get some limited success. Usually, they don't make the money they had hoped for, and may wonder if they did something wrong.



Sound familiar? What went wrong? Was the money making guide all a scam? In reality, it's a two-fold problem. First, the money making method probably wasn't really designed to make millions of dollars , but most likely does have some sort of ability to make some money.



Second, no method of making money continues to work the same way once a million people know about it - the results get diluted.



So, the ideas are not infinitly scalable, and the market for the money making scheme has a limit - a ceiling on the profits that can be made. When too many people are doing the same thing, this upper limit is reached quicker.



So, why did this person who found a way to make money online decide to release his secrets, rather than just make money?



It's because he could make a ton more money selling an information product, with a lot less work, than with any other type of make money systems.



You see, the guy that releases a make money product on Clickbank is following the only reliable, proven money making system that is used by every online millionaire.



If you wanted to make money, wouldn't you want to do what every online millionaire does? Did you know that there are sites that will show you the easy way to follow this proven system, even if you have no technical skills, and even if you have little money to get started? Look around, and you too can get started making consistent money online.

Hot To Stop Debt

Lesson 1: Setting the Foundation

In this moment of financial crisis I thought a good idea to share with you my readers something that may be of interest to your pockets...debt and debt management

Key points

1.As a financial topic, debt is simple. There are no complicated secrets, but -- unfortunately -- there are no easy solutions either. It's going to take discipline to bury the debt monster. Anybody who says otherwise is probably just after your money.

2.It doesn't take a reckless person or a wild spending spree to create a debt crisis. A consistent pattern of spending just a little more than you make, over time, can lead to a serious problem.

3.Compound interest is a powerful force that works either for you or against you. If you want this force on your side, you'll have to rise above the advertisers and bankers that are used to having the force on their side.

4."Good debts" combine a low, tax-adjusted interest rate with the potential to gain something that appreciates in value.

Welcome to The How to Get Out Of Debt quick course on beating debt! We are highly committed to turning net debtors into net savers, replacing the slavery of monthly payments with the joy of expanding investments. We sincerely hope that this series is a big step in that direction for you.

Since you've decided to take a debt seminar, we're going to guess that money problems are at least nipping at your heels. Or perhaps - worst case - an overwhelming debt burden is pushing you to the edge of financial disaster. Since we don't know exactly where you are, we take a big-picture approach in this first lesson.


If debt is not currently a problem - you're just here to learn and head off future problems - let's get started with the basics of managing debt and the fundamentals upon which you will build your financial success.


Beating Debt Is Simple, But Not Easy

Getting out of debt and staying out of debt is actually pretty simple, at least compared to most money management topics. It boils down to spending less money than you make, on a consistent, long-term basis. That's it. Nothing else will get the job done. Nothing.

And it's easy too. Right? Wrong! While conquering debt won't send you scrambling for thick math textbooks, it's an ocean away from easy. One moment of weakness - or worse, one cruel act of fate - and you're scratching and clawing your way back out of the hole. It's not easy.

So, how did something so simple get to be so hard? Because beating debt demands a lot of will power over a long period of time. If you've been a human being for any length of time, you know that this is one tough combination to nail down.

We know we're preaching and it's a pretty depressing sermon. But we're afraid there's no getting around it. Over the long term, regularly spending more than you make - even just a little more - will bring your financial house down, even if you are the most responsible of bill payers. Until this basic lesson is taken to heart, even bankruptcy is just a temporary solution.

How Careful Do You Have to Be?

Consider two simple examples, starting with a positive one. Let's say that you begin setting aside $75 every month, in savings earning 5% interest. If you can pull this off for five years, you'll end up with a comforting $5,100 in emergency savings.

Now, let's turn this picture on its head, and assume that you come up short by the same $75 per month, on average, over the same five years. Further, assume that you routinely patch over this difference with a credit card. Note that we're talking about less than $20 per week here - hardly a symptom of reckless "retail therapy." Nonetheless, at the end of five years you'll be looking at more than $7,200 in debt, assuming an 18% credit card interest rate.

That's an extra $2,100 in debt, beyond the $5,100 earned by saving $75 per month. This is the difference between saving and paying down debt. Saving is hard enough, but paying down debt is $2,100 harder!

And this difference just gets bigger as time goes on. While your bank savings work hard twenty-four hours a day to make you more money, any outstanding credit card debt is likely to be working three times harder, charging a much higher interest rate than your savings pay.

Moreover, as a saver you have the force of compound interest on your side, the idea that your balance starts to snowball as you earn interest not only on your deposits but also on the interest payments you leave in the account. As a debtor, this same powerful compounding force works against you, and the higher the interest rate, the faster the snowball builds.

Good Debt versus Bad Debt

We've been talking tough about consumer debt, but we do realize that some debts are an inescapable part of life for most of us. Still, even when we carry debt, there are some basic debt management rules that will keep the lid on problems:

* Be especially wary of double-digit debt - credit cards and loans that charge 10% or more in annual interest. At this level, balances snowball quickly, and it's tough to get a return on the borrowed money that beats this cost.

* Good debts, like some mortgages and student loans, combine two things:
1) a relatively low, tax-adjusted interest rate; and
2) the potential to invest in something that, over the long run, will grow in value.

* Ignore banker's rules for "acceptable" levels of debt. These are designed by banks to maximize their income. Their calculations cleverly keep you far enough under water that you continue to pay them interest, but not so deep that you go broke. Don't be a slave. Set tighter rules on your own.

Summary - The Personal Finance Divide

Somewhere in every mountain range there is a line that divides water flow. On one side of the line, for example, water flows east. On the other, it flows west. Regardless of direction, these rivers and streams start out as a trickle but quickly pick up speed as they head down the mountain, finishing as raging torrents.

Money and wealth work exactly the same way. Over time, you'll end up on either the savings or the debt side of the personal finance divide. It doesn't take much to nudge you one way or the other, but once a direction is established, the momentum tends to build and it gets harder and harder to go back.

If you want to "nudge" yourself in the savings direction, just remember that it all boils down to spending less money than you make, on a consistent long-term basis. (We're hoping you've noticed that this is an important point.)
