With increasing number of new people joining Internet every day, scamsters have an ongoing supply of new potential suckers. At first blush, Internet Newbies are overwhelmed by technology, and don't do a whole lot. Many are retired, and simply want to keep in touch by email with family and friends.

Suddenly, their email increases with offers for everything imaginable under sun. Getting all this information in their mail boxes, seems to trigger a synapse, and many view web as their road to riches.
Where else could they work in their PJs when mood strikes and supplement their income? In their travels about web, they find what they think is a great affiliate program, and plopping down a few bucks, start their journey into world of online entrepreneur.
Three or four months go by, and they haven't done anything except fill coffers of affiliate program originators. Wondering how those experts can claim five figure monthly incomes from their Internet businesses, while they aren't earning squat, they cast about looking for something else.
What they don't realize is that they can't sit around eating "bon-bons" all day, expecting world to beat a path to their door. As with all businesses, online or off, it takes more than a casual approach to truly make a business work.
Many beginning opportunity seekers are misled by hoopla and marketing pitches. If anyone is trying to start a business on Internet, they must approach it as a real business.
