Is there a online business out there that is not a scam.
I'm not looking to turn over $100000 a week, just some thing that you have to work at and make a living. Helping people to get on in life.

Hi Peter,

Have you heard of The Challenge (http://challenge.co)? It used to be known as the Thirty Day Challenge. It's something I'm half way through at the moment and loving it. I'm looking at applying what I've learned to my existing business while at the same time practising with a new online niche business. It's free (they make their $$ through affiliate programs, but they're very upfront about it) and I'm learning so much about boosting your search engine ranking and using social media etc. etc. etc. Well worth a look. It doesn't promise riches, it just teaches you a tried and tested process. Your goal for The Challenge is to make $1. That's it! Just one little dollar.

Cheers,
Sandra

Great to hear you are still doing well with The Challenge, its a great way to show people that an Online Business isn't as easy and as fruitful as people make it out to be.

As with any business, there are no get rich quick schemes.. if you want to be successful, then you need dedication, focus and hard work!

You missed the point no one said that you had to join the challenge
yes there is a catch they want to teach you how to better your self and there is a lot of hard work
and the whole thing will cost you some time in the challenge the total of 20 dollars.
plus they have a button at the bottom of the page that says unsubscribe
yes there is a catch to every thing in life but if you want to make a dollar you have to work
cheers Peter

NO i think YOU missed the point? No where did i say i HAD to do the challenge. I simply stated that I was reluctant to do it. Isnt this thread is about SCAMS?? So MY point is that how do i know that IT isnt a SCAM. I mustnt have listened to the video cause i thought it said it was FREE? Maybe not but if they did say it was FREE and you posted it cost money well isnt that a scam? It does sound interesting and Good luck to those that try it and make there dollars

This thread was not posted to find out what was scams
It was posted to see if we could find some thing that was worth looking in to and have some one help find some thing that I had missed
There is a lot of stuff out there that you can get stung for a lot of money and not receive any return one that comes to mind is OHN I am not saying it is a scam but there are a lot of people that have spent 4000 up on this product and I have yet to find any one that has made any money / ops sorry they offer a money back guarantee if you don't make any money they will give back your money so at the end of two months they will send you a cheque for $8>$10 and you cant gat your money back as they live up to what they preach /
Back to the challenge they make a statement that they will teach you to make $1 and it is for free you do not have to spend any thing.
but if you want to make $1 you will have to spend $20 (if you don't have a web server and a domain name)
The one thing that they point out is that you don't have to spend the $20 with them you can set your self up any where. And if you can get a sever or name cheaper then it is up to you.
was posted to help not to cause grieve
Do come back in 8 weeks and hear the out come of the whole thing
this program has been going for many years
cheers Peter


one last point (you say good luck to those who try it and make there dollars)
It is about making ONE dollar

These guys offer all their training for free. It's straight forward and easy to follow, particularly if you already have some web and blog and social media experience.

Where they make money is through their affiliate links. So once you come up with your niche website idea, you register your domain name and get hosting. If you use their partner "Gator" they get a commission from the sale. I loved the training and found it eye opening so when it came to me registering my niche website, I opted to go with Gator so they guys would get their few dollars from me rather than going through a cheaper host else where.

You also get to download and try other software such as Market Samurai for the duration of The Challenge. There is no charge for the trial period. But Market Samurai is such an awesome tool, I will pay $97 to keep using it once the challenge is over. Again, the guys will make their commission from my purchase.

It is absolutely not a scam. They tell you upfront in one of their pre-Challenge videos exactly how they make money. The whole purpose of The Challenge is to create a niche website with great content that draws people in and then you make your dollars through affiliate links, AdSense etc. just as the guys from The Challenge are doing.

In saying all that, it's a big commitment and a LOT of work. I'm more than halfway through The Challenge and it has totally changed my approach to internet marketing and while I am setting up a niche site and doing it all by the book, I am also starting to apply the principles to my existing online business to draw more organic search traffic to my wallpaper site.

Hope this helps and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

(PS I am in no way affiliated with The Challenge)

Please always have a look but don't look with your cheque book a lot of people are swayed by fast talkers
just remember if they can talk fast they can run fast
I hope you have a look but be committed it might grow on you
