The art of discernment re on-line business.

Written by Robert Van Rumpt


This is where you are expecting some profound words of wisdom…Right? Well maybe but more likely just more opinions on a topic that is so broad that it is hard to seerepparttar trees because ofrepparttar 100308 forest(s).

I have been looking at what seems to be, hundreds of sites that offer a ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity. No doubt you have too….Right?

So here we are trying to learn how to discern as to what is legit and what is hype and what is totally false.

Let’s start withrepparttar 100309 totally false; probablyrepparttar 100310 easiest to uncover. I could include some links for you to seerepparttar 100311 ones I mean…but I don’t want to get sued neither….yes I am chicken. But let’s see if we can identify some commonalities ofrepparttar 100312 totally false.

The term ‘once in a life time opportunity to get rich quick’ is a dead give-away! Any variations of this statement are likely to be nothing more then a ‘hook’ to lurerepparttar 100313 desperate andrepparttar 100314 ignorant.

The promise of making money within days by paying a ‘small’ fee is also right up there withrepparttar 100315 worst. The attempt to lure you in with great promise for only such a small amount of money is very common. I really likerepparttar 100316 statement: How can you afford not take this opportunity. It will ALWAYS includerepparttar 100317 requirement to part with some of your hard earned money!

Another indication of a false statement isrepparttar 100318 one where you are told you don’t have to do anything;repparttar 100319 program is an auto-pilot program and it just sits there making money while you sleep.

Do statements sound familiar? I think so. I bet a good 50% fall in this category without question.

Now aboutrepparttar 100320 harder to distinguish task of sorting out hype. This is much more common and can be found even withrepparttar 100321 better on-line business opportunities. Hype means exaggerated feelings of wants, hopes and dreams. It is not always untrue but rather a stretched truth or a very selective form of part truth. Example: Follow our system and you will be able to join us on those fancy cruises with fellow millionaires. Or talk about getting that yacht or fancy car and sit leisurely on your porch with a cocktail in one hand a babe on your lap and a laptop for your free hand. We all like dreaming and there is nothing wrong with that and goal setting and dreaming about all those riches, toys and beautiful companions is fun. Here isrepparttar 100322 problem: these dreams make for poor judgment on business decisions to be made today. Today has concerns that relate to immediate needs and limited resources. If you are like me you can’t afford to gamble with those resources.

Dispelling a Myth

Written by Robert Van Rumpt


You don’t need any computer skills to create an on-line business.

I hear this lot…….it must be believed by many because examples are quoted that all it took was a few clicks and thousands of dollars started to pour in.

I don’t know about you but I consider myself to be of novice to intermediate skill level. I have a lot of problems with clicking tillrepparttar cows come home only to discoverrepparttar 100306 cows went elsewhere. My cows sometimes end up inrepparttar 100307 twilight zone.

I am fortunate to have a partner that is a computer whiz (Justin Hawkes). Without him it would be a lot more difficult to attainrepparttar 100308 results we are getting. Clicking and writing articles isrepparttar 100309 easy part but when it comes to codes, protocols and html and trouble shooting; I am often lost, real fast. Am I an idiot or are there some people who are just born with that natural ability?

All I know is that I am not born with it. I try to learn as fast as I can and I think I am pretty quick to catch on but don’t ask me to repeat last weeks lessons because it all gets mulled up into a pile that is hard to retrieve.
