Make Money Online: Documenting 10 Years of Failure
Like many, I was tempted into these same areas - driven by success stories and my own technical knowledge which fooled me into thinking it would be "easy".<p>What I found is there's lot of money to be made in... telling people how to make money!  Those guys like Shoemaker who have an almost cult following end up making an empire on those in the "pyramid" below them.<p>Not to say this is shady, just that the real "riches" are in charging people to tell then how ... not in actually practicing what you preach.
