Online Business Success is NOT for Everyone
Why Don’t I Invest in the Success of Others?
Debbie from the U.K Asks:
If this is as good as you say, why cant you take the money from the money I would earn, we are always being told not to pay when looking for work from home, sorry to sound so sceptical but have been ripped off a couple of times.

Thanks Debbie, I get this question regularly.
First of all, I’m not intending to paint a rosey picture of blogging or online business in general. I frequently say throughout this blog that it will take hard work and persistence to succeed. 
If the alternative is to slog away ’til retirement, barely scraping by, then give me the hard work online anytime.
I also say that ‘anyone’ can do it, not EVERYONE. In fact at the expense of probably scaring many off, I will tell you that most people will FAIL. Not because there’s anything wrong with these opportunities BUT because they won’t put in the time or work required, or fail to follow directions. What’s new! Most people fail in businesses offline too.
I’ve worked with many people over the years, some give up after a week or two, some make a few dollars then pack it in, many work hard but for whatever reason give up just as they’re about to make a break-through. Others though, have taken their new business, and gone on to exceed the earnings I have ever achieved.
I don’t promise that any particular person will succeed. I do promise to provide the training required to help those that REALLY want to change their finances for the better, and are prepared to stick at it long enough to find success.
I’d be interested to hear how or by which business opportunity you were scammed.
It’s very unrealistic to expect me to pay up front to bring people on board. That wouldn’t be good business, or common sense. I would be left chasing after people trying to urge them along towards their income goals. I’d also end up seriously broke.
This isn’t a job offer. You shouldn’t have to pay up front to do a job. This is a business opportunity. I’m not an employer. You may want to read the question below similar to yours, from Erica:
No Work at Home Jobs
I set up the website, I provide the training, the rest is up to YOU. I expect those that do grab this offer to take responsibility for THEIR business. It won’t work otherwise.
If you’ve any other questions please get back to me.
Best regards,
Mal Keenan

Dear Mal,
Please don’t take me wrong!
I am delighted to work under you and together we can move on.Believe me I am finding it quite overwhalming and your training seems to be a little confusing to me. This is the reason why I am trying to set up this website of mine and getting it to function.I couldn’t follow the directions from your site because it’s overloaded.I will be happy to proceed your way as long as it’s made more simple to follow.Maybe we need to communicate by phone.

Hi Mal…( and Debbie ),
Let me say that I agree with Mal 100%. It is utterly ridiculous for anyone to expect someone ( especially someone who doesn’t know you personally ) to pay your way into any kind of business. Duh…Just what was this Debbie thinking? I have seen ads where people were offering prospects deals like this: Sign up for a plug in profit site through this link ( or anything else ) and I will pay for your subscription fees for certain months down the road in various programs. etc. This is different now..I figured how much money this person would have earned in commissions from the new sign-ups in that amount of elapsed time and the person could have done that and still made a profit. I considered that a fairly good advertising strategy as it may have encouraged people to join who may not have otherwise. It was based on people proving that they were going to stick with it and make a success of it before financial assistance was given, rather than just throwing their money away to anyone who may or may not even try to succeed. Now don’t misread this comment as I am NOT making that offer, at least not at this time, but I’m not ruling it out forever.

Eddie W Gillespie
I agree Joanna, information overload is a frequent problem with people new to this business. Take it one step at a time. If you stick with it, you will find that eventually everything become clear.
I sometimes forget to keep it really simple for people just beginning because I’ve been doing this so long.

Hi Eddie
It sometimes does happen that a marketers will offer to pay your way into a program or other incentives to join their team BUT they usually only offer it to people who have already proven themselves to be able to profit in this business.
I have been paid into opportunities before, but as far as those paying me in, they were taking a calculated risk.
