To Fail or Succeed?

Listed on this page will be failures.  These will be listed in a timely manner and removed after a reasonable period of time.  Why?  Because failure is only another stepping stone toward success.  I have seen so many hypes, so many pages telling me that if I do this or that, I will be a millionaire by next Tuesday, that I am 100% sincere that nothing will be sugarcoated or hidden in the quest toward the goal on these pages.  If you can see what not to do, then you are bound not to commit similar mistakes.  If we can make that happen, we will!
 
........Bet on it!
 
 Failures:
  •  Well, here's the latest one.  I have given up on trying to acquire any other way to create Internet dollars other than Affiliate Marketing.  One of the people, running one of the sites that I trust, advised me to take advantage of a new program that was out, having to do with attracting traffic from Twitter.  They offered information concerning the program for $1.97.  I thought it was a one-time payment, as I won't go the payment route any longer.  Much to my surprise, I was billed seven days later and received the shocking news that it would continue until I canceled the program.  Upon investigation, the guys running this scam are located in the country of Cypress.  How do you sue someone in Cypress?  I did some research at that point and found that although they will tell you that they are canceling the billing and give you a confirmation number, they keep on billing?  Not only keep on billing, but in my case, bill from several different companies and increase the frequency of the charges.    I had set up a debit situation for the Internet so my credit card would not be compromised.  Result?  Cancel the entire account and move other accounts to a different card.  Then I got a collection notice from a completely different company for the balance and more charges.  I still have the email from the original company, stating that the account was closed.  I waited but never heard from the collection action again.  I was willing to go to the federal government and use the provision congress had passed in order to go after these guys.  Beware!
