What if I told you that you could be making $45,507 per second and instantly become wealthy, famous, and admired?

You would surely send me $77.77 right now, wouldn’t you? Come on, already. It’s a bunch of sevens. Okay okay, obviously you’ve never heard of Las Vegas. Sevens are lucky! This can’t possibly be a scam if it’s associated with luck. Everybody wins! In the time it took you to read the previous sentences you could have made $910,140! What are you waiting for!? Do you enjoy being poor? Are you that masochistic that you don’t want to become a millionaire in the next 45 seconds? Well, fine then. Enjoy being a sucker. I’m going to go drive my gold-plated Ferrari to my diamond encrusted yacht to take to my Platinum covered private island in the Caribbean. Later, gator.

The Profit Lance Scam

Okay, so the sales pitch above may be a little extreme, but it isn’t long until we start seeing similar pitches. I’ve seen websites advocating annual salaries anywhere from $75,000 to a whopping $547,500 (seriously) for doing nothing more than basic computer a few minutes each day.

Yawn. Call me when a new concept arises. I’m tired of reviewing these websites.

The Profit Lance is one such website claiming you can make as much as $1,500 per day using their proven system to make money online. For those of you who don’t feel like opening a calculator, let me break it down for you. If we broke $1,500 into a typical 8-hour work day, you’d make 5 cents every second, $3.125 every minute, $187.50 every hour, $10,500 every week, $42,000 every month, and $504,000 every year. Not bad, for doing.. what exactly? I don’t know. I read the entire presell page and didn’t have a clue as to what would make me half-a-million dollars per year.

Honestly, I must have read 10 pages of pure fluff about how great my new life was going to be and how I need no experience or prior knowledge in order to make $1,500 a day. But, the Profit Lance website never said a damn thing about what I was going to do! I had to take it to the streets.

What You Get When You Pay Profit Lance $77

I had to take my research elsewhere because I wasn’t about to take $77 out of my bank account and willingly hand it over to a scammer. What I found was less than shocking.

I purchased the Profit Lance Course in the late Aug of this year. It is suggested you study the course before doing anything. Now the course is filled with many ebooks, videos tools etc. If you follow it step by step, you should be successful. If you have a full time job not to mention family commitments. It’s going to take you a while to go through the whole course before you actually use it.

Now most of you more than likely are like me. When I purchase something like this, I wanna get started right away. So what I did was read a little bit at a time and then tried it out. I started promoting clickbank ads. I have a website which reviews 3 systems. You can choose via clickbank product which three you want to promote.

I’ve submitted all this to hundreds of search engines and directories and so far I’m still waiting for a sale. Now to be fair, I have made a little over three dollars through the google adsense ads. They’re right, you will not start making money overnight. In most cases, it will take several months or longer before start seeing any type of profit.

I did discover one thing, most of the information in the Profit Lance Course with a little research on your part can be found on the internet for free. Profit Lance a simply done this for you. I’m not saying Profit Lance is a scam and I really don’t think it is, so far, it’s hasn’t worked for me yet.

I joined but didn’t make any money but I’m not saying that they are a scam because at the time I didn’t know anything about internet marketing. Since then I’ve found free ways to do it but I do go back just to check on how certain paid ways are done like pay per click. They give video tutorials that are informative. After I found my other internet system I haven’t tried anything else. But I’m not going to bash profitlance because their info is pretty good for someone who knows a little about internet marketing.

Profit Lance is a marketing scheme. You buy his ebook that supposedly has all information you need to refer others to buy the same ebook. It is the same circular reasoning that is prevalent in all internet marketing schemes.

I found a lot more reviews by actual people who have tried the program, but I’m not going to list them here. They’re all very similar and point to Profit Lance offering two methods of teaching you how to make money online. The first is the same Google Adwords, Clickbank, and affiliate marketing scam we’ve seen so many times here at I’ve Tried That. This is the same scam that operates under the name of data entry, home typing, or rebate processing jobs. The second method taught by Profit Lance is how to sucker others into buying into Profit Lance so you can make a commission. Google can help verify this as there are hundreds of websites with the exact same text as Profit Lance.

False Reviews

If you Google Profit Lance, you’ll come across hundreds of websites advocating how great Profit Lance is. More often than not, the author will have claimed to tried dozens of different programs before settling on Profit Lance. Now, he or she is making hundreds or even thousands of dollars per day! NOT! (Borat. Topical.)

These reviews are misleading! Never trust someone who says they’ve tried them all and that the following program is the only one found to work! The reviewer most likely hasn’t tried the program but has bought a program that instructed him to create a website, pick the highest-paying affiliate sites, and offer fake reviews to build trust in order to generate sales.

Stay Away from Profit Lance

And while you’re at it, you’ll want to avoid the following websites: rags-to-riches.com, ideal-home-business.info, clickstore.org, struckpaydirt.net, online-moneyathome.com, nothanksneeded.com, success-club.biz, thetrafficdoctor.net, and themilliondollarclub.ws as they are all promoting the Profit Lance system in order to make sales.

Now, some people are going to read this and think ‘Wow, Steve. You sure are a dumbass and couldn’t be more wrong.’ I know this because I’ve received similar emails in the past. I’m sure there are some people who paid money to Profit Lance and have actually turned a profit. But, in actuality, most people who buy into this system will just be throwing money away. You will spend months and possibly thousands of dollars trying affiliate marketing, but ultimately, you’re just wasting your time. Profit Lance won’t make you rich.
