If you are going to make it on Internet or anywhere else, you need to be very careful. You need to be savvy and stop and think about all offers you get. Things are not always as they seem at first glance. There are many good offers out there, but you need to check into them carefully. Don't let them rush you into anything by saying they will only accept a certain number of people or ads or whatever it is they are selling. Believe me, they'll be happy to take your money a week from now if you offer it!
