    Everyone should know which infomercials im talking about. The ones with normal looking people excited to tell the camera they made anywhere from $5000-$200,000. I was up late night getting some work done and hadnt realized that after watching some TV, infomercials were on. This one was called Russ Dalbey's Winning in the CashFlow business. From what I got out of it is that you find notes, and post them online and make anywhere from $5000-$60,000 on one deal. Of course, these are too good to be true and I doubt this works, but my question is, do ANY of these work? On HAS to work no?

    I dunno, sometimes i feel these types of infomercials should be flat out illegal. Whatever happened to false advertising?

    They seem to be based on the "best possible result" scenario. You could make x amount of dollars, but probably not cause it's only been done once.

    Kinda like myself selling 20 blackberries at work. Thats a huge deal, but it rarely ever happens. So in theory "anyone" could do it.

    Thats what I get. Dude gets lucky, makes a very profitable deal. Then writes a book about it = profit for him. And people eat it up.

    Ya. But thats the thing, they advertise how EASY it is but I bet in order to make the big bucks you gotta work overtime. And thats how anything is actually...

    No hookups, I live in Canada. But a blackberry will change the way you communicate. Ask Eric.

    I am going to agree that the people they use in those commercials are the ones that got the results that gave them big bucks and are probably the top earners from the program and there is no one else close to what they did...happened once but never again. You can definitely make money from different programs and clubs like you see on tv, but don't plan on your results being the same. They are always sure to either mention it or have something on the screen that says that individual results will vary and should not be expected to be like those shown. Thats what usually covers them from false advertising like you mentioned.
