| The only thing worse than a blind ad is a dumb ad. Here is my definition of a dumb ad: an ad that tells you what to do and how much you are going to make, but leaves a huge hole in the middle. EXAMPLE: Make $1,000 a day reading the newspaper. When you read an ad like that, your mind starts working. "Am I going to work as a consultant for a newspaper company or is some rich guy going to pay me to watch for certain local articles?" All kinds of things start to race through your mind. HERE'S THE SCAM: You find out that their big system is reading the newspaper and matching up buyers and sellers. You find a guy in the paper looking for a fancy home and find the house in the paper. What a systemÉ GIVE ME A BREAK I'll tell you another one you'll see advertised: Live in a $250,000 house for no money The system is that you housesit for people with a $250,000 house so you don't have to pay any money for anything. Doesn't that make you mad? It does me. What a scam! MATT'S TIP: Steer clear from all dumb ads, including the following: raise $200,000 in 24 hours, make $5,000 a week for doing nothing, $1,000 a day with your answering machine, live in a $250,000 house for no money, and make $1,000 for reading the newspaper. Basically anything that sounds way too good to be true. IN OTHER WORDS: Don't buy anything that sounds too good to be true. RECOMMENDATIONS - See blind ads, only worse. Warning - The worst dumb ad ever created is the envelope stuffing deal. I won't waste too much time on how the system rips people off, but this is the gist of it: They tell you that you will get $1 for every envelope you stuff, but they require a $29 deposit to make sure you are serious. You pay the fee only to find out that you will have to take out ads for advertising the envelope-stuffing program. In your ad you are to ask for $1 from folks who want to find out about the mail order program. (This is where your $1 fee comes from.) Assembly jobs work much the same way. You pay a fee to make small products for some company that promises to teach you how to make $1,000 per week making furniture for dollhouses. After you send them some of your first samples they are rejected because they don't match the model that they have in their offices. You get discouraged and don't send back any more products. Some companies literally sign up twenty or thirty thousand people a year who send them $29.95 or $49.95, ($900,000 for those of you keeping score at home). Matt Gagnon Mazu Publishing www.Mazu.com |
