First of all, let's get one thing straight. There are hundreds of dumb ways people try to make money online. Everything from traditional multi-level marketing to flat out pyramid schemes - none of it works.
That beings said, you can make money on the internet if it's your true goal - and the absolute best way to achieve it is by learning to rank your websites at the top of Google's organic search listings. No matter what anyone says about Google, it's the best source of low maintenance traffic and income on the web.
But there's a hard truth you have to face - most of the dishonest marketers out there know that Google traffic is the most desirable traffic out there - so they buy massive amounts of internet ad space, sending the message that they can teach you how to reach the top of Google's results. You need to watch out - they only thing they're actually good at is convincing ambitious people to give them money for tactics that are not going to work.
So how can you find out if a guru is offering you something of value? It's actually very simple - just go to Google and search the terms "make money online" or "make money on the internet." If you find a guru in the organic search listings for those terms, it's very likely they're legitimate and can offer you something of value.
Whenever you're on Google and you perform any kind of search, you're going to see two kinds of results on the page: the sponsored results on the right side, and the natural results on the left side. The natural results - on the left side of the page - can't be bought, so when you see your prospective mentor's website in those listings you know he only achieved them through work and expertise.
On the right hand side of every pag you'll see the section entitled "Sponsored Links." These are ad positions that businesses bid on in order to drive traffic to their websites.
However, do you see how ridiculous it is when a person who wants to sell you a program about getting free traffic has to buy the traffic to tell you about it? If they don't know how to land the free traffic themselves, how can they claim to teach you to do it?
Basically, the surest and simplest way to verify the credibility of your future mentor is to ask them to show you examples of how they make money online using free traffic from Google. If you can see that they're doing it in their own business, you have every reason to believe they could help you do the same with yours. - 16463
