Are people always asking you to help them make money online? - GoFuckYourself.com

Dont you hate it when you tell people what you do for a living and they instantly want you to drop everything and teach them all you know about the business. I'm a college kid and whenever I meet new people and tell them how I make money in the Internet Marketing business and I work from home the typical response is "cool dude. hey man, lets hookup tommorrow and you can teach me how to make money. We can start a business together and make a shitload of money". They assume since I work from home that I'm not really doing much work and can goof around all day. Anyone else go through this alot?

I tried helping a friend once, never again. If they really had it in them, they would of done it themselves.

It used to be like that for me too.. I actually tried showing a few of them how it works.. but after they saw how much time and work it actually is they backed out.. now most of the people I talk to know better than asking it..

The only person I helped make money online that pulled through is my brother.. he does a lot of writing for me and a few of my clients..

Yeah, they stop asking when they see how much free time I actually have to hang with them instead of working... "what are you doing this weekend dude?"

Umm... working?

I feel the sameway... At least have them starting doing something on their own first..... Like make a TGP page and get some traffic...

i get that ALOT when i tell people what i do for a living. first thing out of their mouths is usually one of the following:

1) "Oh wow!! How did you get into that?"
2) "I'd love to work from home, can you show me how to do that?"
3) "Ya know, i wouldnt mind doing Ebay for living!" (this response always leaves me speechless lmao)
4) "You get paid to do that?"
5) "You're going to hell"
6) "Want a business partner? Ya, i could do [fill in blank here] & team up with you!"
7) "How does one start doing that? I'd love to do that!"

when people want me to "show them" how to start, i usually start throwing out a bunch of mumbo jumbo that i know they wont understand & try to scare them away lol

(example: "you gotta teach yourself html, php, some htacess codes that you'll have to upload to your FTP, and i'd focus on just SE listings more than TGP listings & linklists too. The ratio conversions are usually drastically better with SE's.")

. 1) "Oh wow!! How did you get into that?" I got that response today when I told a someone (some random kid who i played a 1 on 1 basketball game with) that i do internet advertising. now he wants me me to call him tommorrow at 1 pm so I can go over to his house and "teach him how to make thousands of dollars a week before the summer is over". he was trying to talk all hard like "im a master at java, i can probably make a program to generate thousands of pages in seconds. we should start a company and become rich". dumb fucking pothead!!

AdPatron · 08-09-2005, 01:48 PM

I get tons of college kids asking.

Dalai lama · 08-09-2005, 01:49 PM

Yes they ask me, i tell them i wont help them. Even if they are my best buddies and i know them for 10 years straight. Keep friends and business apart. Simple, I wouldn't make a solo site with my girlfriend even if she wants it so badly.

bellskids · 08-09-2005, 02:29 PM

Ya i hate trying to explain what I do to people, everyone wants a piece but it takes someone with the right mindset to have any chance of good success IMO.
