Why You Should Avoid Schemes Like The National Wealth Center

By David Baker


The job market can be a treacherous place, and the Online employment boom is no exception. While there are many legitimate ways an individual can make a living online, there are a million bogus sites planning quick wealth as well. Most easy money programs promoted, such as the National Wealth Center, are nothing more than masked pyramid schemes that only benefit those who built it.

Any time an organization is promoting a digital product, the buyer must be wary of what they are signing up for. Most of the time these digital products are not worth the paper they are not written on. In our current information age, most anything a person wishes to learn, or access, is freely available to anyone willing to spend the time to find it.

It is unfortunate people get taken in by these crooks when there are a million quality products available. These companies often have a department of affiliates who promote and sell their products online and in the real world. The cosmetics industry had taken advantage of this long before the Internet came into being.

A pyramid scheme is going to try and sell information which they will claim is something special or private, and cannot be released publicly. They try to make the potential affiliate feel special. At the end of it all, the only thing the affiliates are selling is this same package of information to other potential affiliates.

The originators of the program are getting rich by writing up a few paragraphs about how to get rich, and convincing people to buy into their system. At the end of the day, they really are not selling anything. While members can get paid when they convince others to buy into the system, most people do not even get that far.

If a million people sign on for only one month, and membership is $25.00, then they have made $250,000.00. This is a staggering sum of money from the perspective of an individual, but the individual signing on for their program is not likely to get a million people to sign on. They are not really teaching anyone anything, but merely signing on new affiliates.

The down side of the legitimate sites is that they often require their members to buy the product up front, then work on selling it for a profit on their own. This requires an up-front investment that can sometimes be hefty. When starting out, it is a good idea to begin marketing prior to making the investment in order to establish a customer base and guarantee a return.

There will always be scam artists in the world, and most everyone will be taken in by one somewhere along the way. The best way to protect oneself from investing time, money, and hope into an empty well is to do the research and find out if the claims made by the organization hold any truth at all. An excellent rule of thumb is that if the product is not something that can be held in the hand, then chances are, it is not worth spending real money on a digital item.
