Last August, I posted an article entitled, Get rich quick. In that post, I point out a few of the key disclaimer points that I found in one online offer.

Since then, I’ve been paying extremely close attention to both the claims that other marketers are making (some of them, many of them, too good to be true) as well as to their disclaimers.

I saw a disclaimer today (actually 2) that knocked my socks off, and I wanted to share them.

This first one appeared at the bottom of the page in extremely light type. It was so difficult to read, that I had to copy and paste it into a Word document. Here it is… in similar light type. See if you can make it out.

DISCLAIMER: THE PERFORMANCE EXPERIENCED BY THE USER COMMENTS AND TESTIMONIALS ON THIS PAGE AND/OR OUR WEBSITE IS NOT WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT TO EXPERIENCE. COMPANY HAS NOT INVESTIGATED OR SUBSTANTIATED ANY OF THE USER COMMENTS OR CLAIMS. SOME OF THE USERS MAY, IN SOME CASES, BEEN INCENTIVIZED TO SUBMIT THEIR COMMENTS, AND COMPANY HAS NOT VERIFIED THE FIGURES QUOTED IN THEM.

Mind you, that was on the first page of the offer. This next disclaimer was on the second page of the offer.

EVEN THOUGH THIS INDUSTRY IS ONE OF THE FEW WHERE ONE CAN WRITE THEIR OWN CHECK IN TERMS OF EARNINGS, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL EARN ANY MONEY USING THE TECHNIQUES AND IDEAS IN THESE MATERIALS.

While From Unemployed To Self-Employed states that a member can be up and running in their own business in about 8 weeks, it clearly identifies exactly what that means. It says that in 8 weeks they’ll know if they have a viable business in mind. They will have been able to find the business that’s best for them, create a business model, and test it.

It doesn’t promise that they’ll be rich, that all their troubles will be over, or that they’ll be out shopping for their new cruising yacht by the end of the month. But given a few more weeks or months, they reach a point where they can be writing business.

Everything worthwhile requires work, patience, and perseverance. I suppose that it’s possible for someone to sign up for a get-rich-quick opportunity and find fortune. My experience is that this happens very rarely.
