Internet Scams

I'll admit it. Even a veteran internet marketer like myself can be scammed. Still I maintained my peace and I'll tell you how later. Stay away from these:1 - http://youwillgetpaid.com/. This is a mother/son duo that promises to create multiple pages for Google to crawl. After YOU pay for your domain hosting, they publish THEIR clickbank id's under what should have been your site.


2 - The above company is one of several sites housed at http://homeincomeportal.com/pamali606.htm. I paid Home Income Portal $60 per month from May to December 2008. They promised to overrun my 102 sites with more traffic than I could shake a stick at. Guess how much money I made? Right: none. And if I take leave of my senses and reenter the program it'll be $120 per month. For that kind of money, I'd better be making twice that a month.


3 - EZ Saver: Now here's one that consistently took $19 plus dollars every month from my checking account, and I don't even know how they got my information or what they represent! I went through the usual steps of e mailing them, calling and getting a release code and notifying the bank. They just kept on taking and taking. ..........


While the jury is still out on the first one (legal action), I dropped the second one like a hot potatoe. I don't advertise it thru TrafficSwarm, Google Adwords or any of my so-called e mail blasts. It would be against my character to try to rip off others just for the sake of revenge. I continued to maintain my peace of mind by dropping out of every program that required a monthly fee. They ain't worth it.

Just e mail me if you need help in ridding yourself of these scam artists.


Peace!

O L P

This one is for women only and I mean you: the hard-working, multi-tasking, putting everyone in front of you type women. DO SOMETHING FOR YOURSELVES.

Every week, at least once a week, I plan an OLP. That's Old Lady Party. No, I'm not old I just like the flow of OLP better than.........LP. An OLP represents my not-to-be-interrupted for anything ME time. I deserve it.

Why do I deserve it? Like you, I am working in and out of the home. You know what THAT means. I work 40 hours at a job (not a career). When I leave there at 11pm, I go holler at my mom who is in a rehab facility. Then I come home and do household crap: cleaning, cooking, cleaning and sex, if he's lucky! Wow! All that leaves me as one tired sister. And on weekends (what weekends?) it's back to the rehab facility to pick up clothes and to deliver freshly laundered AND ironed ones.

So once a week I throw myself an OLP with food, drink, music, travel,....just WHATEVER I WANT, because I deserve it. Ladies we all deserve that me time to preserve that peace of mind. I highly recommend it.

Peace!
