Dick's Guide to Business Opportunities updated on August 11, 2001
You can build a residual income from time you spend on the Internet placing free advertisements and building web pages like this. But I will not promise you that you're going to make a million dollars, or even $7,362 a week. If you want this kind of help, there are many people on the Internet who will make you such promises. But, you'll need to send them money before you get their secret wealth making tool. Their secret is, quite often, to do what they did to you, and get people buy the same wealth making tool.
The way to make money on the internet, without getting scammed or scamming others, is to recognize that successful companies have always wanted to sell their products. They have long used advertising and sales representatives to do this. Before the Internet came alog these companies were used to paying for ads, and paying commissions to their sales representatives. These legitimate companies still do this, and they will pay you. Beware of anyone who wants you to pay them before you sell their products. If they want you to help them market their services and products online, they will pay you. Place FREE advertisements, create FREE web pages and get paid commissions on any sales that you bring to the company. Their should be (and will be, with me) NO cost to start immediately. In some cases all you need to do is place pre-written ads online in your spare time. I also am ready to help you get started with your own free web sites. The companies with these products and services often provide complete training and instructions FREE.
You can even choose -- as I have on this page -- to get other online entrepreneurs involved and build your own "sales organization" where you can even earn commissions from the work of others, You can get started TODAY absolutely FREE, and you can even check the status of your sales ONLINE! To get started right now, but click here on netopp for an opportunity I gave up on. As of August 11, 2001, after more than a year of linking to this guy I have never gotten a paycheck. As of August 11, 2001 I gave up on this one and make no efforts to add it to any of my pages. It stays on this page because I want newcomers to this business to understand the realities of this business. Companies with opportunities come and go, which is another reason you should not spend a lot of money for someone to set you up in business.
Here are the start up costs for various free and low cost businesses. I've signed up for all of the free opportunities below. I'll keep you posted on my results with these opportunities.
$0 You get $4 for every person you sign up to be a rep for One and Only. This promotion began June 1, 1999. It will not last forever. I made $700 on this one in July 1999. (If today is September 1999 or later, the $4 opportunity may be over. BUT, still click here to get some other free business opportunities, particularly a dating service you can represent. As of August 11, 2001, without a doubt, I find One and Only to be one of the three most rewarding affiliate programs on the net..)
$0 Dick's Guide Free Money Making Opportunity with a bonus of low cost phone calls. This FCI opportunity never delivered me a check. (I signed up in April, 1998 and I abandoned the program in June 1999, for a better one described below. I warned readers of this page about the opportunity, because the company was still looking for online representatives. ) However, I did not get rid of the webpage on this. Without warning, in 2001 I got a check for over $100. Obviously as of August 11, 2001 I am not ready to give up totally on this one. Supposedly you can get a low rate phone service (that I originally signed up for) and get the service for your friends AND get a commission for what everyone spends for the phone calls. But, you MUST use their long distance phone service. I did and it was fine. It was supposed to be 90 days before I got my first check, but it turned out to be three years. This was not as good a deal as it seemed to me in 1998. The company consistently failed to respond to my questions. I decided to quit this business. If another check comes in, I'll look at it again. Click here to learn more about my feelings on this business before I got my $100+ check in 2001.
$0 After quitting FCI, I quickly found another phone service, Cognigen. This one offers great long distance, overseas and cellular rats, plus great prices for calling cards and other telecommuniation services, and many free telecommunication business opportunities. You will get a 6 % commission on the services you sell. It provides you with free replicated web pages. Within 60 days of signup I had my first check. It was only about $20, but that's a start. Click here to join the downline for free and sell this services yourself. As of August 11, 2001, without a doubt, I find Cognigen to be one of the three most rewarding affiliate programs on the net. My checks have consistently increased. This month my check exceeded $100.
$0 Two other free income opportunities in the telecommunications area, with very competitive services for everyone, are http://www.kreepy123.com/members/10027/ and http://www.tmmg.net/dicksguides/indexx.php3 I signed up for these July 1999 so I have nothing to report on these yet (in August 1999, when I wrote this). As of August 11, 2001, after more than a year of linking to this guy I have never gotten a paycheck and I was ready to give up on this one and make no efforts to add it to any of my new pages.
$0 Click here to become my ProShop partner. This will allow you to sell various products from your own pages. WARNING: After the signup process you will quickly get an email message with your ID number, and a page to go to. Go to the page and create your own pages for the various products here by copying the pages product URLs AND inserting your unique ID into the page's product URLs. This sounds more difficult than it is to do, but it IS something you will need to do many times if you are going to make money in many online businesses. Please drop me an email, or call me (Dick, 912 598-9220) if you need any help on this. NOTE: At one time this was a regularly paying site (maybe $20 to $30 a month. By August 11, 2001 the checks had dried up. I am not sure why.
$0 Click here for a free AND "magic" opportunity to make money. This opportunity features a magic learning system. Once you click on the page, go to the left hand column and click on "free site!" Provide your information and submit it. You will get a screen that has your associate ID and the URL of your own webpage. Go to the webpage and bookmark it. As of August 11, 2001 I am not ready to give up on this one. Many sites with small payoffs ($1 or 10 cents) don't send you a check until you've accumulated some amount of money -- like $50. Besides, I like their product.
$0 Click here for an opportunity to earnA Six Figure Income. For about a month I avoided signing up for this. Just the fact that this company advertises a "Six Figure Income" (SFI) worried me. I have followed too many leads on too many get rich quick schemes to believe this type of hype. Also, at least one of my friends had warned me about net getting involved with SFI. Words the company uses, that I would make $20 to $200 a day with thirty minutes work, would -- a year ago -- turned me off. Now, I believe it, almost. This summer (with lots more than 30 minutes of work a day) I have seen my average daily income expand (with a multiple number of businesses) from about $1 a day to $50 a day. So, for nothing, I decided to join SFI. I immediately discovered that SFI met one of its promises -- to share potential leads. I now get more leads from SFI than any other business. I have belonged to this for about 45 days. I still do not have a check directly from SFI, but I have been able to expand my down line significantly. To become an affiliate Register for SFI Affiliate Program at http://www.sixfigureincome.com/free/?82912. As of August 11, 2001, after more than a year of linking to this guy I have never gotten a paycheck but I am not ready to give up on this one, because it still supplies me with names. ADDED NOTE ON 8/16/01 -- today I got a check from SFI for $44. Now I have two reasons to continue to recommend this -- you'll get lots of names for your down line AND a little money every year or so..
$0 Click here for a business I signed up for in June 1999 called Global Strategist. By mid August 1999 I had no money or checks from them. I have no idea if I ever will. But, like all these opportunities, I do know it is free. After you sign on you will be directed to an associate page. Go there. Bookmark it. It is on this associates page that you will be able to develop the paying links from your pages to Global Strategist pages. WARNING: The signup page may lead you to believe you need to provide a charge card number or your bank identifying numbers. You do NOT have to do this. As of August 11, 2001, after more than a year of linking to this guy I have never gotten a paycheck. It stays on this page because I want newcomers to this business to understand the realities of this business.
$0 Click here and you will get to 6% to 50% commissions by representing, for free, many major companies, like Staples, American Greetings and priceline.com on your future web page. You also get to represent many businesses from drug stores to travel agencies, for nothing. You can earn commissions from the sales of these sites, and by bringing other people into this business. Sign up is easy, after you realize that the signup form is on the first page that appears on your screen, towards the bottom. You select the companies you want to represent and then sign off and wait, from a few minutes to a month. Over the next days you will be notified if you have been accepted or rejected for the various programs. Within 5 minutes you will, however, have about two dozen new businesses you can begin to work on. I am not sure how this will work for someone who does not yet have a web page site with some statistics for it. As of August 11, 2001, without a doubt, I find linkshare to be one of the three most rewarding affiliate programs on the net. As of August 11, 2001,without a doubt, I find linkshare to be one of the two most rewarding affiliate programs on the net.

over 200 of the Web's top merchants. This site has an incredible number of businesses you

You may have read about companies that pay youTo surf the web. I've signed up for several. The first one (GoToWorld) is NOW paying and I recommend you get aboard on it. It won't hurt to join the others, either. As of August 11, 2001 I am not ready to give up on this one even if my checks (which had gradually risen to about $30 a month) dried up. I have a feeling something happened on my computer that created this problem.
With this next free offer you will be able to start earning money, today, simply by browsing the web. You will download a free GoToWorld browser that is REALLY available, right now. You get paid to browse (maybe 20 cents an hour) and you also get paid when your friends browse, when their friends browse and when your friend's, friend's, friends browse. This is an MLM approach that is several levels deep. This free offer also lets you sign up your friends as browsers. They also give you a web page you can advertise. All of the following "get paid to surf" programs do the same. Click here to get started, http://www.gotoworld.com/getpaid/default.asp?rid=1012310796 When you get to the page, click on the left column "join now." After you sign in, download the web browser. WARNING: Make sure you pay attention to the file where you download the browser. After it downloads you will need to run it. This sounds more difficult than it is to do, but it IS something you will need to do many times if you are going to make money in many online businesses. Please drop me an email, or call me (Dick, 912 598-9220) if you need any help on this.
Here is another "get paid to surf opportunity, which will be active in a few months, and promises similar benefits as GoToWorld. It's called Sharkhunt. Sign up at: http://www.sharkhunt.com/join/Thankyou.asp?fName=Dick&login=dicksguides
I have also signed on for All Advantage at: http://www.alladvantage.com/refhome.asp?refid=CLC422 As of August 11, 2001, after more than a year of linking to this guy I have never gotten a paycheck.
I also signed up for epipo, another pay to surf site at http://209.196.153.21/sine.asp?dicksguides
If you have web pages, here's a banner you can ad to them. This banner pays you $1 per click. There are many banner programs are like this. They give you anything from 2 cents to about .20 if someone clicks on the banner. This is the only one I have found that pays one dollar per click AND lets the person who clicks get a banner to do the same thing. It also sends you the name and email address of the person who clicked through, giving you an opportunity to expand your downline. Click here http://dicksguides.com/Banner1MyShoppingPlace.html. As of August 11, 2001 I am not ready to give up on this one. Many sites with small payoffs ($1 or 10 cents) don't send you a check until you've accumulated some amount of money -- like $50. The company also has changed its offer to ten cents a click, with a downline.
$0 This is something called Debt Zapper. I signed up on May 21, 1998. In July I started to get bills. It seems that this service is free to start, but costs money if you want to stay with it. I did not continue with it.
$0 This is Spree. It is free and looks exciting. It offers the opportunity to use your web pages to sell various items, like flowers and gifts. I joined May 21, 1998. I have NOT earned anything BUT I admit that I also have done little to publicize its offerings. As of August 11, 2001, after more than a year of linking to this guy I have never gotten a paycheck.
$0 This is CDO, a business opportunity you can sign onto for free. However, before you start making money you will need to invest $29. I signed up for this, but I decided to NOT make the $29 investment. Newcomers to this business should be aware that many people claim that they have a money-making opportunity you can join for free. Once you join for free you learn you will need to spend money before you will be allowed to make money. I do not recommend any of these bait and switch opportunities, unless they provide something special -- like a good Internet course or opportunities to build your down line.
$0 Here is still one more free business opportunity, to sell the wonder drug, Viagara. BECOME AN AFFILIATE! I did on May 25, 1999. As of August 11, 2001, after linking to these guys for a year, I have not been paid much, if anything. The guy now seems to be out of business.
$0 Here is an opportunity I signed up for to sell a useful book. I signed up on May 27, 1999. You can also advertise this book and profit from its sales. Winning the Affiliate Game As of August 11, 2001, after more than a year of linking to this guy I have never gotten a paycheck.
$0 With this opportunity you get to run your own, privately labeled auction business. Click here to join and see what your page will look like. As of August 11, 2001, after linking to these guys for a year, I have not been paid much, if anything.

Below are some low cost opportunities for start up businesses. Until July 1998 I didn't pay for any business I started. The government has scared me to death on the issue. Of course, I'm not totally convinced the government has my interests at heart. They have been using a Ponzi scheme (called Social Security) for many years. Anyway, I signed up for a few free opportunities and discovered -- IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE MONEY IN A BUSINESS WITH NO INVESTMENT. This led me to consider paying a little for opportunities. As of July 23, 1998 I had found too many free opportunities to have time to look for opportunities that cost me money. The only thing I have ever paid for is Cookie Cutter But I am cataloging them, here.
First, however, are other sites I know of with free business opportunities
http://get.to/siva This site contains Business Opportunities for English AND Russian speaking people. As of August 11, 2001 I have never used this so I can not say anything about it.
Opportunities that are NOT free, but low cost
I have NOT invested in any of the following opportunities, except Cookie Cutter. In the summer of 1999 there were so many free businesses available that I stopped looking at low cost businesses.
$20 This Cookie Cutter program sounded good. This summer I decided to see if I got any more bang for businesses that were not free, but cost a little. I liked this one because, while it costs to join, all of the costs are passed along to the sponsor as profit. In the first month my $20 investment became $40. If this interests you click here. I will say this, however. The program has some good features for beginners in this business. It tends to provide more education than the hype that comes from other paying sites. Still, for me, I intend to continue putting my effort into free opportunities.
I never joined, nor do I plan to join, the following relatively low cost businesses.
$20 Pays for you to become a distributor of Tahitian Noni
$25 This cost $25. It's the first opportunity I almost paid for. But, I didn't pay. At first it was free (to sign up.) Then they wanted money to secure my position in line. Then I learned that to get commissions I was going to have to buy something. I feel that if I make an effort to sell a product or service I ought to get paid, without having to sell something.
$30+ This site will cost you $30 and a "small monthly" payment. I did not try this.
$35 (Australian) You get into this free, but then you seem to need to pay $35 for some health products, then who knows? I will look into this sometime. Let me know what happens if you look at this opportunity.
$39 This is an opportunity to have a WEB page to sell this manufacturer's goods. I passed it up for now
$39 Get's you into selling and distributing Aloe Vera products.
$39 Gets you into selling health products
$40 Gets you into selling some health products
$55 This is an MLM opportunity. I passed it up. $55 seemed to me to be too much
$169 This MLM offer may get you a free cell phone and free minutes and an income. $169 was too much for me.
$650 seems to be the amount this company suggests you spend with them so you can sell their juice. I passed it up.
$2000 let's you start building an online store. Not for me.
$40,000 On July 23, 1998, this company promised "Potential income of $300,000 to $500,000 in 6 - 12 month time frame. Approximate startup: $40,000." I did not rush to send in my $40,000.
$?????? Electrical power deregulation is coming. This could be an opportunity to make money. This site provides some information. On July 27, 1998 I asked for more information, especially on what the costs would be.
