A Different Kind Of Mouse Trap!

"If you want to catch more mice, build a better Mouse Trap!"

The year was 2005 and I didn't want to catch more mice. I was actually looking for a Mouse Trap that allowed the mice to live long and prosper! (Thats Me AND You :0)

Several maxed out credit cards, loads of failures, a Google Adsense ban and an often strained personal relationship later I can state that I've tried most of the compensation plans available. I've tried numerous traffic building strategies and know that none of them are as simple is you're led to believe, that they often require a learning curve and that they ALL require some ongoing work in order to maintain a consistent level.

Based on this comprehensive experience my conclusion has to be that the Different Kind Of Mouse Trap that I have spent years looking for wasn't actually there to start with!

I also have a problem with the concept that the only way to make money on the internet is to sell people information on how they can make money on the internet by selling the same information to other people. I think this practise should be called "Envelope Stuffing 2.0" and is how many internet earners make their money. Don't get me wrong, if you have genuine advice or a product/service that people need without having to sell it to others, then what you do with the product in order to get it distributed is irrelevant as far as I am concerned.

You can use direct sales, 1 and 2 tier affiliate programs, 100% commission deals, MLM, Matrixes, 1Up's, 2Up's, Cyclers, Revenue Share Models, Randomizers, the list goes on, the point being that, in my book, you must be promoting something that people need outside of any extra income that you can make from telling others.
