Hi All,
Have you ever bought a software program because you were led to believe that it would create automated income streams for you, and all you had to do was less than 30 minutes work a day? C'mon... own up. Well I did and quite recently too. In fact to my shame, I'm going to admit to buying into no less than 3 different programs. Phew! Glad I got that off my chest. I feel like I've just confessed my sins and now I'm cleansed and redeemed.
Okay guys I'll let you into a secret about these software programs that the sellers say will create massive passive incomes for you while you sleep. Here's the scenario...
I want to make a lot of money right... so I get together with a few friends and we sit down and brainstorm. We come up with the idea of creating a software program that builds websites, loads them with affiliate products, content and adsense ads ets etc. It's going to be the all singing, all dancing, out of the box, set it and forget, push button program to knock the socks off everything else on the Internet.
But will it work?
Well we call in a programmer and ask him if he can build such a beast. Programmers say everything is possible and will never be beaten, and so he agrees to write the code for the software for a whopping price on the condition that it will do most of what it is expected to do. We also promise him lots of beer in return for sticking with it and ironing out any bugs.
So this is what happens. We give the programmer our brief and explain exactly what we want the software to do. He gets to work.
I the meantime, we write up the hyped-up sales copy and create some amazing bogus videos showing clips of big bank balances and continuously show new incomes being generated in "real" time. This is guaranteed to whet the appetite of every gullible shmuck who sees it. Then we'll run a webinar and invite everyone to attend... for free. In the webinar we'll talk about this amazing software and say things like "you can easily make $50,00 a month with this". And then we'll get a few friends and relatives to back us up. Getting the picture?
So the sting begins to work and we start making dozens, then hundreds of sales. Problem is the software doesn't work properly. Only that's not a problem because as customers start complaining we just tell them that there's a minor issue, which will be resloved very soon and then remind them that they have 30 days guarantee. We could even extend it to 60 days.
As the complaints start rolling in our programmer works on them and fixes them one by one, at least as best as he can. So, in effect, what we have done is get our customers to pay for the development of our software. Then we pay the programmer, pocket lots of dosh and slope off into the sunset to work on another software project. Simples!
Oh yes and we make a few reluctant refunds. So did the software work? Who cares... next!
All for now comrades.
Bill
