Pitfalls

Watch out for pitfalls. When becoming brave enough to venture into the Internet as an industry versus a diversion there are lots of people that want to take advantage of you. They tell you only enough to gain their own profit margin.

I don't want to do that. I am a Christian and my first focus is to be true to God's word. I want to put what I am really going after. There is a danger to this business and it is hidden in the fine print. It is absolutely CRITICAL that you read the terms on every website that you go to. They all have a bottom line. Even visiting and reading a blog helps someone make money.

Yesterday I clicked on a link that offered to send me a book, and all I had to do was pay shipping and handling fees. Great deal, right? Wrong. They also wanted to use my credit card to sign me up for three different internet sites, that started with free trials but would eventually cost me $100 in monthly fees. The fine print also states that if you cancel the day after they bill you, they still get that first big chunk of change.

My word of advice for today is this... ALWAYS READ THE TERMS BEFORE YOU AGREE!
