I do not know what I am talking about

I do so like it when people say that 'I  do not know what I am talking about'. It makes me laugh because I keep quiet if I have no sensible answer in a discussion.

Now you may be wondering what brought my fits of laughter on.

Well, somebody seems to think that promoting a pyramid scheme is ethical and legal. It is neither. I simply pointed that out to them and got a very negative response. They most likely have their $33 a month investment in the business which will get them out of debt. More likely scenario is that it will max out their credit card.

Many of the schemes that float around the internet are illegal pyramids. They involve recruiting an ever increasing number of people in so that the people at the top keep on earning. The result might be a short term income for a few but then it just disappears as the suckers who sign up for these things run out.

Just remember that the person who benefits most in a pyramid is the one who is at the top. Those below get the crumbs and will rarely recoup the money that they put in.  Some offer products which do give some chance to build a real business. Frequently it is simply based on recruiting people who will pay the monthly fee though.

This is not ethical internet marketing. I approach it as wanting partners that I can work with so we create a win-win situation. I suppose that my business must be unusual in doing that because so many seem to only offer win-lose. Put another way, they win and you lose.

There are so many websites around these days that only want you to pull out a credit card and type the numbers in. They promise the earth and deliver nothing except a card that is now at the credit limit.

The business that I am building will work with partners but there is one important word there. We are **PARTNERS** and that means we work for a win-win solution. If you reject that I have no problem because I simply will not work with you.

It may sometimes seem like yet another blog that is trying to sell the 'latest and greatest' yet it is more a look at Internet Marketing through the eyes of a cynic who has no plans to max out his card by buying in to the 'next big thing' and the next one and the next one ....
