Monday Question: Income Expectations From Internet Marketing

3 Replies

I got a question via email recently which reasonates with a lot of emails I get:

Hi Andrew stumbled upon your blog through a ewen site, mind you I was researching on how credible internet marketing was and if they were scams, so I have a few questions to help me understand and hopefully make a decision

How realistic would the rabid niche cash machine work, what is really involved? lets talk about money what are the realistic figures of profits on using this product, I dont fully understand how this would work and what creates profit. How much time do I need to input to see a decent return. I would really like to know if this is a proven method and someone like me could be able to use this and eventually become financially free, its all good to say buy the product and find out, but a little more understanding and some peace about this would help me 100% to make a final decision, $30 may not look much to you but for me at this moment in my life its alot, any help and more understanding will be genuinely appreciated, thanks so much for your time and look forward to hearing from you

Solution 1: Write to them

You could locate an email address or look up their domain whois information and contact them directly to remove the link to the file on your webhost. If they’re linking to copyrighted content, you might get your legal department to send them the appropriate legal response.

This generally takes some time.

Solution 2: Remove/Delete the file

If you remove the file from your server, the file they’re linking to will show up as a broken link (generally a “404 Error – File Not Found”). This means you’ll Continue reading →
