Make Money Online & Screw The Middleman
June 30, 2008
Would you like to make money online and save people from scammers at the same time? When I say scammers, I’m talking about middlemen. More often than not, they’ll charge you an absolute fortune, for doing very little, just because they have a little bit of knowledge that you don’t have. The good news is, not only can you get hold of that information and save a fortune, you can also profit from it.
I recently saved thousands by doing a bit of legwork myself and cutting out the middleman. And this was in a personal matter, not a business one. Of course I was warned that “many things could go wrong”, “it involved a lot of work” and it was “too complicated” for the average person to understand. What a load of tosh – few things are that complicated. I needed to do very little work myself and when the process was over, I discovered that I could have been paying a huge heap of cash to some con artist for simply passing the bulk of the work on to someone else.
Well, I figured that if I could save a fortune doing this, others could benefit too, so I’m putting together a simple information package, which will enable people with the same problems to do it themselves. And instead of paying thousands to some ambulance chasing middleman – it will cost them less than $50.
And you can do this too. Think about the times you’ve spent a lot of money on a service that simply wasn’t worth it. Or maybe you’ve done as I did and saved yourself a fortune by doing your own research instead of paying for costly services.
Doing your own research and putting together an easy to follow package is fairly straightforward. So don’t be put off by the middleman’s claims that it’s too complicated for the average person to do themselves. Or that things could go drastically wrong if you don’t engage their specialist help.
Now, I’m not going to share the info product that I’m bringing out before it’s even completed. And you don’t need me to. There’s plenty of niches you could fill if you brainstorm a little.
Think about the areas the middlemen hang out in. They usually target people who desperately need help and those who really can’t afford to squander a fortune. They’ll also go after people who are in desperate need to do something important and try to convince them that they can’t do it without them.
I bet there’s at least one problem out there that you can provide a solution to and you could save a lot of people from being scammed at the same time.

* This post has caused quite a bit of debate. When I refer to the term middleman – I mean someone who offers a service which involves little skill, or work and charges an astronomical figure for doing so – usually, someone else is doing the bulk of the work at a fraction of the price.
This is not to be confused with a project manager who would charge a mark-up for organising subcontractors, or a business who subcontracts some of the work to other providers and adds a mark up.
The middleman would usually charge thousands for something that would take very little time and they would make sales by taking advantage of customers who are desperate, or vulnerable.
The project manager or subcontractor would be providing a good service to the customer – eg. organising and managing the whole project on their behalf, for maybe 10 – 25%. That could still be a large sum, if it is a big project – but if it is done properly – it is well deserved.
