Unfortunately from what I've been able to tell is that most people have a "get rich quick" mentality. They will pay thousands of dollars on useless information but won't give a second glance to legitimate information or business opportunities. I've seen this over and over again.
Case in point was last summer when I attended a "get rich quick on the internet" seminar offered by a Utah company. There were hundreds of people in the audience. The company spent three days telling them what the company wasn't going to do for them. What it boiled down to was that the company was offering them a $5/mo hosting service for ONE domain for $6,000.
They made it very clear that they were not offering a business opportunity and they were not going to do anything for the attendees. However, they made the attendees believe they were getting the best thing ever.
I watched in amazement as people lined up to pay these scammers $6000 for this hosting service. They all wanted to "get rich quick on the Internet". The hook was that the scammers through the goodness of their heart were willing to finance the $6000 hosting service. All the people had to do was put down a small downpayment of a few hundred dollars.
Now you or I could go to those same people and offer them the same program for $50/mo for unlimited domains and a professional auto responder with website and they would turn us down -- because we're offering a legitimate offer.
Sometimes the sheep just beg to be sheared... :brick:
