In the beginning, $1,100 got Mark four websites. If items are sold from Mark's sites, companies like Amazon and eBay supposedly send him percentage of their sales.

Two weeks later, Mark spent $3,600 more on advertising and $2,000 on casino and pharmacy websites.

Um, yeah, I wouldn't believe this. Take no heed of this. It's a total hoax that companies like Amazon and eBay will send you money if you sell their products.

Gotta keep the competition down. ;)

Amazing how many people propagate those hoaxes.

"web site", geez. No such thing.

;)

The people who sold me these sites told me I was gonna make a lot of money in a 90 day timeframe.

Enough said really.

Im not sure about ebay, but im sure that DELL does not have affilate programs to sell computers. Im surprize that DELL does not come down hard on this company.

Dell is too busy not answering customer service inquiries to worry about anything else. After all, they've been upgrading their email system for months.

That said, Dell has an affiliate program - it pays a whopping 1%.

Erm, one born every minute...

I still find it really hard to believe that in this day and age people still fall for this sort of thing.

So Dell does has an affilate program. Amazing. Since DELL is so well branded, why they would waste their time on affiates, is beyond me.

Anyways, the millionare web club is making DELL's name mud by affilation with a scam.

[lammert]

Dell certainly has an affiliate program. Here in Holland they pay between 3% and 8%. Maybe they are looking for more sales outside the US?

Since DELL is so well branded, why they would waste their time on affiates (sic)

Since when were affiliate programmes about branding? >;->

It constantly amazes me how much people spend on e-books, e-courses etc. to create a money-making website, when the majority of the work - as with any business - is perspiration and inspiration which comes from inside the company... and doesn't require any cash at all.

Starting a business on the web is probably unique in that it's one of the only types of business which requires almost zero upfront monetary investment.

And here is this guy maxing out his credit cards.
I'm speechless.
