Every other program to make money online seems to be a 'get-rich-quick' deal. And although many of those programs may actually work, promising millions without delivering the support and coaching to even make $1,000 a month falls WAY short of their ads. (I like your day trading example by the way...) And I agree with your quote that, "I really believe in that idea that to make a lot of money you have to help a lot of people." And that's one of the reasons why I've been passionate about network marketing. When I was in sales I didn't really provide all that much value to my buyers. In NM I can coach a single mom with 3 kids to the point where she has a descent parttime income coming in and she can actually provide for her kids. Or I can mentor someone fresh out of college who's starting to feel the pressure of the college loans they're paying on. I just feel that (like you say) by HELPING people create that income, I'm becoming of value to them. And it's alot more fulfilling to me than sales. That's my 2 cents. I have to agree with you there.

And that’s one of the reasons why I’ve been passionate about network marketing. When I was in sales I didn’t really provide all that much value to my buyers.

And it’s alot more fulfilling to me than sales. That’s my 2 cents.

I guess what bothers me about the ones I've seen is that they all seem to have the message that if you do these few simple steps it will pay you a million dollars automatically as it grows. To me this always seems dishonest because you aren't really providing a million dollars worth of value to anyone, its sort of like trying to get something for nothing. I like that question of "Am I contributing value and really helping people?" because it weeds out a lots of so called "money making opportunities". Day trading for example, is another good example. It's hard to think of anyone who is really benefiting or getting value from what you're doing, so I don't think its a good way to make money. I really believe in that idea that to make a lot of money you have to help a lot of people. Anyway, thats just one way of looking at it, and you're right that pretty hypocritical that my advertising doesn't match up! ;) Thanks for pointing that out. I'll have to see if adsense gives me any more control over that. Thanks! Brian Hi Adam,
