Arthur Webster   Just plain honesty
I don't visit Apsense very often because, like many sites started with great intentions, it has become populated with pathetically inadequate wannabe Internet Marketers.
This group presented anm ideal opportunity for people to share their winning experiences and explain how their decisions and actions created some form of success.
FIRST - why is success only deemed to be of a financial nature? Success can also be the production of a fantastic web site for the pure, personal pleasure of having done so.
SECOND - as far as I can see, only unsuccessful people have posted anything into this group. I know they are unsuccessful because they are not promoting themselves, they are promoting the smoke and mirrors of some peculiar bizz-opp that is guaranteed to be as much use as an umbrella in a huricane.
THIRD - has nobody at Apsense any comments at all about the mass of utter bollocks that has flooded the site.
FOURTH - I seldom use foul language but when I am made really angry, it helps people to know me just how strongly I feel.

I wonder how many of you have actually used any of the "programmes" that you are advertising.

How many of you, for example, have used self improvement courses to improve yourselves.
One thing I absolutely guarantee, unless you have a brain composed entirely of infinitely absorbent but inert crud, you did not improve yourself one little bit! You might have thought that the course was an earner because, hey, if you bought it, there are other idiots out there who will also buy it - but your experience tells you it is useless.
Why do I say this?
Most people desert self improvement courses as soon as they realise that the initial lessons are no more than crude attempts to destroy your belief system so that the "guru" can build you up again. You cannot learn self improvement unless you believe beyond a doubt that you are so pathetic that someone who doesn't know you, has never met you and has no technical qualifications knows you better than you know yourself.

Let's take a look at "bizz opps" offering free money. If you can even entertain the idea that you can get money for nothing, when you fell out of your tree you must have landed on your head! The idea is so sublimely ridiculous that no more needs to be said.

Done any "manifesting" lately? Don't tell me, you are on your 533rd ebook of "How to manifest effectively" and still haven't made a single desired item materialise (oops - manifest). What a splendid money maker the Law of Attraction has proved to be. Not at all bad for a law that does not exist?

What about "paying it forward" ever done that and found that once you have paid, everything screeches to a halt unless you have a list of idiots who would follow you through perditions halls? "Paying it forward" is another way of saying "buying team members for the guy who found you to be gullible enough to pay his expenses".

I have no idea how much space is allowed for an article here so I will try to keep this short.

ONLY YOU KNOW YOURSELF!
You are the only person who can realistically decide if you will do the work that is necessary to achieve whatever success you are aiming for.
If you find yourself constantly joining "free" automated "programmes" you know tht you are not capable of working.
If you find yourself tempted by "Turn $20 into $17,472.63 in two weeks", you know in your heart that you are not really serious about working online.

If you truly believe that the way to your own success is to spend all your energy promoting the business of someone else, you know, deep down, that you are in the wrong business.

If you are impressed by pseudo scientific terminology, get out of internet marketing - you are just the sort of victim the Law of Attraction and self improvement gurus rely upon for their continued wealth and influence.

Saving the worst for last, DO NOT DEVELOP A POSITIVELY MENTAL ATTITUDE to life. No, do not even try! PMA as sold by filthy rich writers of tracts, ebooks and training courses DOES NOT EXIST.
