Well, my guess is that most of them are people who’ve never had an original business idea in their life! And I’d stake money on it that many of these business opportunity gurus are pseudonyms, or even pure works of fiction.

There are few mysteries and hardly any ’secrets’ that are going to make you a million. If these people really did have the secret why the hell are they selling it to you? Perhaps their ’secret’ is getting you to buy, and re-sell whatever feely available information it is they are selling to you!

Caveat Emptor - be careful of these people… They can part the best of us from cash with their get rich quick schemes.

Perhaps the best way to make money is to use the vehicle many of these guys use to actually sell something worth having. If you have a piece of software, some information, or anything else that can be download that may be of value to others you can easily market your own wares by becoming a Clickbank publisher.

What a load of shit! A bunch of people described as meta-physicians (new age types), and ‘entrepreneurs`(of course it didn’t mention how they made their supposed millions) rattling on about how you can have or achieve anything you want pretty much simply by visualizing it.All this interspersed with mysterious pictures of great people who supposedly used their system - ancient Egyptians (though obviously not the ones who must have visualized being slaves and building pyramids), Isaac Newton, Einstein and others.

With there being no mention of how exactly they made their cash, bought the fast cars, and everything else they claimed to have - and, as you’d expect, almost to a man (and woman) telling rags to riches stories. I can only imagine that they have made their fortunes peddling crap like this to gullible people - as many have over the decades via spam, classified sites, and small ads for millions of spurious business opportunities.

It also struck me that this seems almost ‘religious’ in the way it claims to be the path to enlightenment… It looks from outside a lot like a multi-level marketing version of the Church of Christian Science.

Hell - if simply visualizing something made it happen - why haven’t I won the lottery yet? And, why when I´ve been visualizing a threesome with two hot Scandinavian women in there mid 20’s (when this started they were older women!) almost every day since puberty, has it not happened! Having visualized these things so vividly for so many years I’m sure if this worked they would have materialized for me! No doubt were I to ask them I´m sure I’d be told I’m not visualizing in the right way, and probably need to buy a book or something to help me.

I’d like to challenge anyone out there to PROVE to me this works! Without the need to buy anything, sell anything, or indeed work. Just by visualizing…

If you haven’t a clue what I’m talking about here are a couple of samples…

This guy claims “You Are About to Learn Secrets About The Law of Attraction and The Secret that Even Gurus Never Revealed…” (nice use of capitals)

And this one claims “Sensational Breakthrough Movement Exposes The Revolutionary Ways To Attract And Manifest Anything You Want In Life, Like Magic!”

I find it hard to believe there are still actually people out there who don’t use it!

The chances are most of the goods come from China or India or somewhere else in Asia.

I stumbled recently on this guide that claims to have over 5,000 verified suppliers and over 50,000 other potential opportunities, as well as offering a forum and advice on the business. It looks like an inexpensive way to get started and will save weeks of researching potential suppliers. Click here for more information.

I do a little importing myself of an electrical product and can highly recommend a small business in China if you want a more personal buying and sourcing service in China specifically.

They are good fun however in the right places, and are great for things like FAQ pages and combined with forms to gather leads. You can actually use them to ‘persuade’ people to send you their details. Great for some sites - but not appropriate for others decide for yourself..

One thing to bear in mind is if these things are auto playing - you might alienate the kids of user who might be seaking in a bit of surfing in an open office!

Take a look at the SitePal website and make your own mind up…

I’d say personally that Hostmonster are a very hard to beat! Excellent value for money all round for web hosting and domain registrations.
