First, I don't look at BHW as magic, I am asking people more experienced than I for advice and suggestions beyond the information I already have.
Second, believe what you want. I wish this were a scam, because then it wouldn't be my life.
Third, I'm a sis, not a bro.
Fourth, I am still freelancing. I'm working on a marketing project right now, commission only and pays out 1x per month. I just started, so I haven't gotten any big commissions yet. I'm looking for other projects to work on, but if you've been on GAF lately, you know that they only want to pay .20-.30 an hour now to Asians. eLance's bidding system is BS, I refuse to have to pay to bid on a decent project. If you know of any other good freelancing websites, let me know.
I also have a freelance project running right now for my own site, working with 4 marketers to get the member count up faster. That may pan out better than I expect, but I'm not pinning my hopes on it.
