This is probably the most asked question I get from online associates and  partners with various methods I use to make money online and it almost always comes down to the same problem, false expectations.

Some people have the notion if they advertise the free website they get when they join a website or team enough, they are going to have money in their hands in a few days. The problem is they have no clue how much is enough and when they find out, they scream foul play and refuse to even try any further.

For example, I got this message the other day and it prompted me to write this article:

"I don't even know why I do traffic swirl anymore ? It does not bring me any money and you doon't help me you are always yelling at me like I am a second hand citizen. I do advertise my sites but you give me no help at all and that is why I move on".

I went back through my last 6 months of Skype messages from this individual and there were 114 PAGES of messages where I tried to help them understand what to do. I visit the exact same advertising website myself every day and the only thing I see them advertising, is junk get rich quick programs.

This is just one example, but I could write about dozens of others with the same problem and produce lists of tracking links that people have NEVER clicked, not even once.

You may call this just me venting, but after 14 years of earning online I have seen the Internet as a whole degrade to this state and it gets worse every year. Fortunately I am old enough I can do just fine without it, so I am shifting my focus to ways to save money on what I buy anyway and forget about building teams and downlines for a while. The end result is the same anyway, like Benjamin Franklin said a penny saved is a penny earned.

The ONLY way I make money is not advertising so much, but making contacts that will listen and help them grow. The problem is that has become almost impossible today unless you can show them how to do it in minutes instead of months, which is what it takes.

At least I got my Daily Mission done for today!

P.S. I will probably change my mind later.
