I posted a while back about the Google Money scams<\/a>. They’ve been all over the place, heavily advertised through AdWords, presenting itself as fake blogs and fake newspaper stories. Google finally did something about it, at least the parts that go through their site.<\/p>\n

They terminated the AdWords accounts of those advertising them.<\/p>\n

Not just suspended or deleted the ad campaigns. According to Search Engine Watch<\/a>, they deleted the accounts and informed the account holders that they cannot open new ones. Period.<\/p>\n

They mean business this time!<\/p>\n

But don’t you worry! If you need big money promises, similar programs claiming you can make big bucks through Twitter are now out there, according to the L.A. Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Usual routine, you too can earn hundreds of dollars with little effort. Tons of Twitter followers! Big money! Easy!<\/p>\n

Just pay a little money for shipping and handling. Oh, and even more per month, but that’s deep in the terms and conditions. You might not even notice until it shows up on your credit card.<\/p>\n

These kinds of programs walk a very fine line on legitimacy. While they technically do list all charges, they’re often hard to find. In addition, the claims are pretty hard to believe for the simple reason that they aren’t likely.<\/p>\n

Sure, some people do make good money with Google or with Twitter. Most people, even with instructions on what the other guy is doing… won’t. That’s business for you.<\/p>\n

These companies can be deceptive about where they’re located and\/or make it very difficult to cancel your subscription and get your money back when you find out what you’re being charged. They aren’t always on the wrong side of the law, but they’re often not far from the edge.<\/p>\n

If you want to make money advertising on Google, study pay per click advertising. Perry Marshall<\/a> is a reputable source.<\/p>\n

Making money on Twitter can be more difficult, in part because it’s newer territory and there are fewer guides with a proven history. There are plenty of tricks to building a big following, but pick the wrong one and your account gets banned. Or just appear too spammy and see what happens.<\/p>\n

Building a loyal following that cares enough about what you have to say in a tweet and will buy from links you post is an entirely different challenge.<\/p>\n

It comes down to the simple truth that there is no easy solution to make big money for most of us. Sometimes someone will hit it lucky, but the next person to do what appears to be the same thing may not succeed. If it were that easy we’d all be earning the big bucks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
