Day 3, £999,995 to go

Welcome to day 3 of my ongoing millionaire quest. As I mentioned before I am currently working my way through the first of the sites offering to help make people rich for just a small outlay and a few hours work. My first stop was with 'Automatic Wealth Solutions' who for an initial fee offer to show you how to make money from the internet for a few hours work a week. When you get past the initial entry to the site their is a lot of information about blogging, linking to other sites and the benefits of adding links from paid advertisers to your site. (Note: If you intend this this site then you should decline the first offer to join at $49.95 and you will be offered a reduction to $37. Decline again and it could go as low as $7). Now at $7 the information they provide is probably value for money. It is all freely available on the net, but the time spent finding it would probably cost you more that the initial outlay.

There are lots of forums discussing this site but those who think they have been scammed have agreed to pay for additional features as they navigated their way through. Not a smart move and one I picked up on in my first post. However the concept of building a blog / site and being paid by advertisers on that site is sound, the hard part is bringing enough of the right people to your site and only hard work will help here.

As part of my research I thought I would check out what reviews were in circulation in an effort to skip the scams and go straight to the money making. A quick google search and I found 'scamreview'. They had already done the work and ranked the top players in each field. Bravo, all I had to do was follow their lead, head to the winning sites and cash in. However the little bell was still going off in my head so I did a quick search on their number one ranked paid survey site, Surveyscout. Well I quickly found out about them at 'www.screwedcentral.com' that has a forum for disgruntled customers, and Surveyscout has lots of disgruntled customers. So my shortcut to finding the good sites was actually pointing people in the direction of the worst sites, and they are getting paid for the links. Mental note, never trust anyone!

Day 3 result - £5 (almost)

P.S. Signed up free for some 'paid surveys' and have $7 pending. I'm already making money!! However not as much as I would like. You may have noticed the 'adsense' links have gone. Apparently I do not qualify so I can freely discuss the ongoing issue with adsense being removed just as users make the $100 payout threshold. More on this soon.
