A tribute to get-rich-quick - $999,999 in 24 hours (screenshot included)

Would YOU like to earn a million dollars in just 24 hours?

Would YOU like to be the envy of all of your friends?

Would YOU like to have it all?

Here'e an ACTUAL screenshot with today's earnings:



What if I told you that YOU CAN just by buying my ebook (only $19.99) for GUARANTEED RESULTS?








































........ then that would make me a good-for-nothing low-life wannabe-guru!

I've started this "tribute to get-rich-quick" thread in order to make you understand that:
  • fake screenshots can be found around any corner in a matter of minutes
  • the fact that someone is highlighting CERTAIN WORDS doesn't make his/her statement true
  • if someone actually could make a million dollars in 24 hours he/she would be doing that instead of trying to spoonfeed you a crappy "$19.99 limited-offer" ebook
  • the odds of "getting rich quick" are the same as the odds of winning the lottery
  • the only person "getting rich quick" from this entire sharade will be the "guru" (if there are enough suckers to fall for it)

What do you think about these self-proclaimed gurus? Let's put an end to all of this nonsense, shall we?

If you are sick and tired of guru-style marketing, please share your two cents here,

Alan Johnson

Nice screenshot-- 100% ctr

I agree with you, I'd just stick to making 1M every day and not bother writing a $20 ebook.

Indeed, it's funny how some think that a person who manages to make $999,999 per day would bother selling them an ebook for a few bucks

Wow, you made $999,999.00 in 24 hours! It took me nine days to make $999,999,999.00. How did you do it so fast. I bought my e-book out of the trunk of a car, but yours sounds better.

Anyway...good point and thanks for the laugh!

I've been using your proven system (ebook) now for 3 minutes, and I have already made $1.00! Wow this is great! Especially the chapter on how to login to Adsense. It's mind-blowing, with usernames and passwords. I can't wait to read the last chapter on how to add more than one adsense for content code to a website. Thanks!

P.S. For those who may not understand sarcasm...this is it.

I'm with you on the crappy guru get rich quick ebooks.

Hate them. They really give affiliate marketing a bad name.

I could even change the total earnings to 1,000,000 just to show that this kind of scams are pathetic. I just used paint in changing the totals. You can look at the attachment.

I like the sites that include the timer that counts down toward 0, showing you how much time is left for you to jump on the great deal.

Well, as far as I see that, it's merely a book publishing business that found its roots online. Internet allowed people with very limited means to have an advantage in publishing and selling books. One copy of a book costs literally $0 to publish and you can sell it for $20 for a pure margin of 100%.

AdSense in this case is only a marketing trick to buy that book, nothing else. If there will be other means of making money online, entrepreneurs will develop "quick manuals" for them as well. It's only a matter of current market conditions.

The pathetic thing about this is that you need to load this image in the imageshck . Could not you afford to use one page of your website to link this screen shot.

Now deposit yr $999,999 ( have I counted correct number of 9s)and earn 5% CD and retire. No more selling those 20 cent ebooks.

Also the number is so unrealistic. It is just like the banner that says "You are the 999,999th visitor of this site, you won a prize!" Could they be more creative?

I hate those sites that are just one loooong page where you need to hit page down about 50 times to get to the end. Also countdown timers, words in all caps, highlighted, or in a large font in the middle of sentence, and checkboxes that say "YES! I want..." but don't actually do anything are all very annoying.

If a site has those things i usually leave immediately.

And all those silly get rick quick stuff and $19.99 ebooks or ebooks ending in $7... with silly made up "proof", I can't believe anyone falls for this stuff.
