Thank you for visiting Money Making Dollars, and thank you for taking an interest in my story. My Story is really not about me, but about people helping people. It is about the failures and the disappointments and finally the success of the Internet and how I got to where I am today and how you too can achieve success without going through the same school of hard knocks that I have gone through.

My first encounter with the Internet came in 2000, I'd been too busy working those 12 to 16 hour days to have more than a casual interest in the Internet "The information Highway" as it was called. What got my interest was the cold hard reality that if I didn't change the way my life was heading I was going to be another statistic in the Social Security system with just barely enough to money to live on in my "Golden Years". Funny how you don't think of those things when you are young and full of energy and ready to conqueror the world....

It was said that there was gold in them Internet hills and as with all gold rush prospectors I had to find out for myself.

First it was trying to make money by advertising to safe list. You know the ones, join for $19.95/mo and reach 1000's of people who wanted to read your ad and join your venture; with the end result being you got more adverts in your mailbox then you could read in ten years.

Then it was MLM, buying leads, calling people who said they were interested in a home based business, but when you talked to them you found out that they gave their information for your business 6 months to a year ago and really had no interest 5 minutes after filling out the info form. The results were pure frustration, hundreds of dollars spent in leads and an enormous phone bill. Those people that you were fortunate enough to sign up simply lost interest a week later and were down the road.

There were the matrix's that promised you big bucks and "spill over from your upline" I haven't met a person yet that ever got spill over from their upline....were the roads just paved with good intentions or was it just another way to sucker you out of your hard earned money?

Then there was the famous straighline matrix that grew to over 100,000 people in 6 months but fizzled out....the last ones in are still trying to get their money back.

Does any of that sound familiar? If it does you've come to the right place. If it doesn't you've still come to the right place, as it simply means you don't have to go through that kind of traumatic experience to achieve success today.

While there are a lot of scams perpetrated by many, there are still bright stars that shine out of the darkness. Success, is dependent upon you.  There are no great secrets that some guru has finally decided to let you in on that is going to put a million dollars into your checking account 48 hours from now....

If you have a website that does not get traffic, then take a look at the tools on the Marketing Tools Menu.  If you are using adwords without success, then take the free 5 day course that Perry Marshall offers.

Diversifying is the method of the gurus and it shoud be your method too, unless you've hit on a positive gold mine.  Remember one thing: The Internet is constantly changing.

If you have any questions, contact me. I'll be happy to help you in any way I can and answer any questions you might have.

To Your Success!
