Do You Believe These Overnight Success Formulas are Scams?
In one of my post last week I talked to some big boys of affiliate marketing in my series on how to get started in affiliate marketing, Shawn Collin the man who co-founded Affiliate Summit gave us the million dollar advice that “be Patient -You won’t be an overnight success” . This is Very true, as there are no short cuts to success.
But then there are live examples before us like;
- John Reese who pulled up in less then 24 hours on 17th April 2004 over $1,000,000 through affiliate marketing that too without spending a single dollar on traditional advertising. phew!!!
- Super Affiliate Zac Johnson made $860,538.38 in just four months.
- Or who can forget Jeremy’ Schoemaker’s most popular image with a Adsense check of $132,994.97 of a month’s earning.
These are real stories, believe it or not sort of 
Too Good to be True
These are some real life examples, what you initial see is seems to be a man’s overnight success but we must not forget that he may be trying and working hard for this accomplishment from many years. As I told you before there are no short cuts to success. The results on a single day may be the outcome of several years’ hard work and dedications.
People like to listen to these stories
So whenever big affiliates pitch a particular product they always come up with these sort of stories which sometime seems to be too good to be true. Some time we got to know somehow that lots of these claims are sort of smoke and mirrors still we respond to these sales letters with almost outlandish claims.
Sometime you know its not true, you know it but still you click on mails with these sort of subject headlines, the reason is simple we always love to hear these sort of stories, be honest in telling me that you always dream about a day when suddenly your bank account flood up with millions of dollars, you log into your account and found that millions of dollars has been generated and poured into your bank account while you were sleeping last night. well you can’t do much about it, its human nature, so that’s why these sales letters and landing pages are designed to show you what you really like to see for yourself.
You believe that you can not be fooled by these attracted headline but be honest in telling me that most of the time you respond to these sort of appeals and claims.
Do you believe these unrealistic claims are scams?
Don’t ask me, I never fallen prey to any such scam yet. [Touch wood] but there are people who come up with stories like they washed-out huge money to a fake claim and got nothing in return against what have been promised to them.
I am asking you “do you believe these claims of overnight success formula are fakes or scams?
Give me your view point in comment below.

My mother always told me that if something sounds like it is too good to be true then 9 times out of 10 it normally is.
Thanks for the reference! I can only imagine how hard it is for new comers to see all of these sales offers and programs being pushed in their face, and having no idea what is legit and what isn’t. Good thing there are free blogs and resources around to send them in the right direction.
I was wondering your take on the program by Andre Hansen called Niche Marketing On Crack do you think it does what it says and generates online income using niche marketing techniques?
CONGRATULATIONSSSSSSSS FOR THE NEWLY BORN PRINCE CHARMING

True, there is no easy way to succes.
And i am very sure, that even though these “Gurus” performed very well in short time, they have been putting a lot of work in it.
Another thing to consider, is that you only see their “income”, you dont see their expenses.
You are absolutely right. There’s nothing that make you successful overnight.
Such type of things always be spam. There’s not short cut to gain success, hard work and patient needed for it.
Yes, I do believe.
I’ve read some affiliate marketing gurus’ blogs and they have patience for their jobs.
They spend a lot of time to work f0r their success and they deserved it.
not all are scam , some are , but i have learnt from these systems ,
Complete scams, I have spent hours and hours on these websites and the like.
