Agreed .. to a point .. it would be the ethical thing to do to inquire as to whether the purchaser has any knowledge of running a website, or knows how to properly market the site to make any money with it. But, you can’t explain the particulars of earning a living on the Internet to every person you talk to. Everyone thinks it’s a piece of cake!
We all know how that goes. We have all had friends who expect us to be able to give them a brief synopsis of how to earn money on the Internet. People seem to be under the impression .. you put up a website and that’s all there is to it .. thinking “if it works for others, then why wouldn’t it work for me”.
This guy’s biggest mistake was in telling her she would make $25,000 in only a few months. He should have explained to her that she could build it into a viable money making business, but that it would take some work and that it would not happen overnight.
In any case, it’s not like he was charging $10,000 for these sites based on the income that could be made .. he was only charging a thousand dollars. A thousand dollars is not that big an investment.
Anyone with half a brain would realize that a business where you can make $25,000 in only a few months would certainly cost more than a thousand dollars to get started. A business is normally worth 3 times what you earn on it in one year. $25,000 every 3 months would = $100,000 a year, or an investment of $300,000.
This pathetically stupid woman needs to go out and see if she can buy a McDonalds franchise (or similar) for $1,000 .. what a moron!
BTW .. I did send an e-mail to Gambling911.com in regard to their article. Just checked my e-mail .. got a reply back from him this morning .. he totally agrees! Have not yet heard back from the television news station in Denver.
