Many people dream of making easy money, whether it be winning the lottery, inheriting from a relative, or even come up with the next dot com boom. Where few have succeeded making money online many of failed. There are many site on the web today that claim to have a step by step guide to making a lot of money fast.

John Chow dot Com gives away a free PDF telling people how he makes money online, even explains the ad companies that he uses to make most of his profit. One thing I would like to point out about his claimed methods is that in his PDF he says:

“If you’re blogging only for money, than you’re in for a shock. Yes, you can make good money with a blog, but despite what the National Post story on me said, it takes a lot more than `no effort` 99% of blogs on the Web cannot make more than $100 a month. John Chow dot Com make money because I don’t blog for money. If the only reason you’re blogging is to get rich you, you will fail.”

Although this might be true I recently read an interview of bloggingfingers.com which claims John Chow explained his blogging success:

John Chow dot Com got so successful because I was singularly focused on making as much money as possible for the blog. By showing massive monthly increases in blog earnings, I fire up the imagination of bloggers everywhere. People came to read it not just to learn how to make money online but to see if I could beat last month’s record. The blog is based on the “success breeds success” model. The more money the blog makes, the more traffic it gets. The more traffic it gets, the more money it makes. It’s a good situation to be in.

If you look closely at John Chows blogs you won’t find many interesting unique stories other than making money blogging. An even closer look and you will find that most of the ad companies that John Chow claims to be making all of his money are almost impossible to be used by a start-up blogger. Many require that your site receive 500,000 minimum hits monthly. Some of the ad companies are also owned by John Chow, or owned by his friends.

Another online money maker is Ty Coughlin’s Reverse Funnel System. Does the system work or is it just another SCAM. Unlike John Chow which tells you his “secrets” free, Ty actually requires that you pay him money in order for him to give you his secrets. After giving him your e-mail if you refuse to pay him and go about your business surfing for other ways he continues to mail you with convincing mails like:

Hey Jeremiah,

Listen, you absolutely must get yourself into this system ASAP.. Do not wait another second. Our goal has always been to actually create the first income stories on the net of people who got started with our system at 9am and had made their first thousand dollar profit by 2pm that same day. Well, we knew we could pull it off but it would have been unrealistic for us to make that goal public until we were 100% complete with the back end of the system and finished the marketing co-opps. Well the word is out… we just had our first student earn their VERY FIRST thousand dollar profit within….. **Check this out, their first 48 hours!** Maybe it was luck for this guy, we’ll see as the funneling continues. Maybe it’s you who does it first.. Oh! wait, don’t tell me you’re the one that thinks that it could never happen to someone like you? Are you? Well you’re right, it can’t happen, there is nothing out there that works that well where you won’t mess it up some how. I promise you this Jeremiah, within the next 30-60 days you will see posts all over the internet from people that are posting a real time thousand dollar profit in 24hrs PR release. **Mark my word** I’m excited, so I’m going to go and get to work on my commitment. I suggest you do the same

Over and out
Ty Coughlin
