SocialSpark.com Is Now Live!

Have you heard of SocialSpark.com? Recently I posted about PayPerPost.com and what a great site this was for bloggers and advertisers alike. SocialSpark is similar to PayPerPost but has extended features available.

SocialSpark is a great community place for bloggers. It has started a social network amongst bloggers where we can communicate and share ideas. I get reviews and comments on my work from others that share my same interest. You can check out my profile here.

Much like PayPerPost it is a great way to make your blog profitable. There’s nothing like getting paid for doing things you enjoy. It’s also nice to have a community that shares your interest right at your fingertips. PayPerPost recently changed their rules as to the age a blog has to be to be accepted into the program, at least 60 days. That was great for me as my blog had just passed the the 60 day mark. SocialSpark however still requires your blog be over 3 months old so some of the newcomers will have to wait till you can do sponsored post. Good news though, you can still set up a profile and begin interacting with others.

So all you fellow bloggers, make sure and check it out and see what you think. If you are and advertiser or you need to promote something, this would also be a great place for you to harness the power of thousands of bloggers to advertise your message. This post was sponsered by SocialSpark.com

Passport To Wealth

Passport To Wealth is a home business opportunity in which you are selling package of software and e-books.  This package sells for $997.  Passport To Wealth is much more transparent in their presentation and what you will be doing, unlike Liberty League International that hides behind cheap websites and secrecy, so I give them credit for that.

I’m looking and trying to figure out however, how this isn’t a pyramid scheme type system.  You must buy the product to participate in the opportunity, that’s bad sign number one.  And your first two sales must be passed up to the person you joined under, bad sign number two.  I think that the Liberty League opportunity works in a similar way with passing off your first sales.  For each person you get to join with Passport To Wealth, and then the people they get to join, they all pass the first two sells up to you.

The product you are selling looks like a giant collection of junk to me.  E-books and software that are available all over the internet and Ebay for little to no money.  That’s a similarity with LLI, an over priced product with little value for the price.  When doing this opportunity you are not really selling the product but the opportunity itself.  No one in their right mind is gonna pay you a thousand dollars for a bunch of cheap software.

The software is the pawn in these business opportunities like this.  It is the “product” offered that pushes these just to the side of barely being legal and not just pyramid scams.  If you are going to try a opportunity like this you must remember, you are going to have to find others that are willing to invest a thousand dollars for a business opportunity, as you have no product with substance to offer customers in this business.  Be careful with the $997, I’m sure there is a much better place to spend it!

Mentors Fault Or Companies Fault?

Recently will researching another business opportunity I found an article that was interesting.  I was researching the opportunity call Passport to Wealth on the net and came across a site which a guy was saying it wasn’t a scam.  He placed blame on the mentors scamming people and that the company offering the product had no wrong doing.  He went on to imply this in all of these types of MLM businesses like Liberty League and so on.

I can somewhat see his point and I also see what makes his statement a crock.  The mentors are the ones out in the trenches recruiting the people and making the sales with whatever tactics it takes.  At this point I haven’t even gone to the passport to wealth site to see what they offer so I am using Liberty League in my thoughts.  We all know that Liberty League offers motivational products that are outrageously priced and similar material can be found on the net for little to no money.  That’s the companies doing and not the mentor.  I believe the company would be the one putting on the big propaganda conventions or what ever they are.

The mentors are probably more the scam artist because they are the ones out there misleading people and doing all the dirty work.  I laughed at the fact LLI has a compliancy dept and makes claims of operating with integrity.  The company relies on the mentors to continue preying vulnerable people and taking them for as much as they can.  Clearly the company hides behind the mentors and cheap websites.  I think the company and the mentors are equal contributors to the scam and anyone with an ounce of integrity would not do on to others this way.

Comment On Liberty League International

Every since talking about Liberty League International on this site, I have started getting about 2-3 emails a week that are all very similar in content.  Since all emails from readers are confidential, I haven’t been able to talk about the stories in the emails.  I did recently however get a comment on a recent post that that was much like the emails from others.

Here is the comment that was posted last night…(unedited)

1.      LLI is a total scam. People out there please do not fall for this so called “business”. My husband has “invested more that 40K in it for the last 7 months and has not made a penny. he has put all these expenses into credit cards and now we are up to our neck in debts. PLEASE DO NOT FALLO FOR THIS SCAM.. IBEG YOU. qe are even having family problems because he spends all day and night on the phone calling so called LEADS…..completely SCAM.
Desperate wife

Keep in mind I have no way to validate a comment or an email for that matter.  I think this is relevant and has substance because of the repetitiveness of this story.  They are so similar in details. 

It was the emails people were writing that inspired me to write the post “Motivational Product or Cult Propaganda”.  All of these people have been encouraged to continue to invest in this through the use of credit cards and loans.  They sit and call “leads” all day long.  Driving themselves into the ground and destroying families yet driving on to continue the quest of the opportunity.  Spending most all hours of the day devoted to promoting and selling more motivational products and chances to become an associate.  Behavior in my opinion that is indicative of brainwashing and cult followers not even in touch with what they are doing anymore.

Liberty League Q&A?

 I would like to post a request for anyone involved with Liberty League International and currently operating one of the recruitment websites if they would be willing to answer questions in an open to the public dialogue?  I want to be fair and allow a response from members of that community but I would like to have answers to questions myself and other readers ask.  I’m not looking for a generic responses, just real answers to real questions we have.

If LLI is legit and a great thing to be a part of, here is why it may be of interest to take this opportunity.  This site is new and traffic isn’t overflowing yet.  But it is increasing everyday.  I use to methods of collecting statistical data on my traffic and I can tell you this.  I currently get about 50 to 100 people a day that come here from search engines such as yahoo and google on the search keywords Liberty League International, Zenaida Lorenzo, Rachel Oliver, scam, scheme, and so on.  50 to 100 people a day coming here looking for information about you people running the sites.  The number is growing daily as the search engines index more of this site.  I also know there are around 10 members of LLI that frequent here too.  When you pass around news of a new post and come here from your email inboxes, it shows your name in the link you came from.

This could be your chance to save 50 to 100 people that have heard about you and are trying to find out what you are.  Remove the suspicion and secrecy by answering questions.  Are you willing to take it on in the name of your legit business opportunity?  Please feel free to contact me or just respond in the comments if you would like to take the opportunity presented.
