Today's Adventure in the Biz Opp Jungle:
'In which Charlie gets scientific endorsement from a Cambridge Professor, slamdunks the 'Millionaire in 6 Months' website into the net of doom, and warns of yet another data entry opp to avoid.'
Hi
This is amazing.
I've just been to a conference conducted by Professor T. Smythe of Cambridge University.
Apparently, his team of researchers has done extensive and rigorous testing of my email newsletter, Adventures in the Biz Opp Jungle.
They've come up with this scientifically proven conclusion:
"Charlie Wright's review service is GUARANTEED to turn anyone who reads it into an entrepreneurial genius within 7 minutes and 2 seconds... and into a millionaire within 6 months, 2 days, 5 minutes and 23 seconds."
After uttering his proclamation, Professor Smythe slumped back into his leather desk chair, exhausted with joy, spluttering out random words of praise.
"Brilliant.... staggering.... so easy.... yet so fantastically amazing... extraordinarily brilliant brilliance."
So there you go. I'm definitely the best thing, ever, and that's 100% guaranteed.
Aren't you lucky?
Of course, it's all NONSENSE
Naturally, I'm lying through my teeth. Making stuff up in my head. Twisting the truth, like chewing gum round a forked tongue.
Why would I do this?
I don't know. But equally bizarre are the claims used in the sales pitch for a product called 'Millionaire In 6 Months'.
"This business has averaged £3500 + per day" screams the sales pitch, "and has banked over ONE MILLION in less than 20 weeks."
This is seemingly backed up by one Professor Martin Binks, director of Nottingham University Institute for Entrepreneurial Innovation.
He is quoted as saying: "It is brilliant in its simplicity..."
You also get an amazing guarantee, which states, "If you follow everything that is taught in and complete the 'Millionaire-in-6months' business plan - you will definitely become a millionaire -That is a Guarantee!!"
The fact that the word 'guarantee' is followed by two exclamation marks proves that this must be true.
The problem is, Professor Martin Binks has gone on record to say he has NEVER claimed any such thing about this product. His quote referred to something else entirely.
And I've no doubt the same goes for the newspaper cuttings on the sale page. They don't refer to a specific person or product. They're just big statements that could have been plucked from any article on any business.
Even if you ignore all that...
It's ridiculous to promise that you'll make someone a millionaire in 6 months
Lovely idea, but it will never happen.
When we read these things, we know they're not true, but our imaginations run wild.
"What if...?" we think. "What if...?"
The sad truth is this. The only way to make that much money, that quick, would be to steal or scam it from a load of innocent people.
Even then, it would be a pretty amazing haul in that time. I've not heard of many scamsters would could manage that amount that quickly.
So if we ignore the claims from Professor Binks and the newspapers as absolute tosh....
....and if we dismiss the guarantee as being ridiculous in the extreme... impossible, even....
....then what are we left with?
Sweet Fanny Adams.
I don't think we don't need to go any further with this one. Delete all history of this website from your browser and get on with your day.
Would I touch this with a bargepole?
Not even with a bargepole stuck on the end of twenty bargepoles tied together. And even then I'd wear rubber gloves and a surgeon's mask.
And a diving helmet.
The sad thing is, it's perfectly possible to make money from home. Plenty of people do. Especially home traders, Ebay Traders, Amazon booksellers, home publishers, importers, copywriters, product brokers, and information marketers.
It's also perfectly reasonable to hope that you could make anywhere from £100 a week to £35,000 a year in your spare time. And this could be within a year to two years. Full time, people make even more.
But you need to find that little home business that's right for you. Something realistic, where you sell a product or service at a reasonable price to eager customers.
And that's where I really can help you, scientific endorsement or NO scientific endorsement. Check out the latest on my site:

If I recommend it, don't be afraid to order it, mull it over, read the materials, and send them back. Everything I recommend comes with a solid refund guarantee.
The only way to find out is to try it.
Just leave those dreams of "instant millions" by the door. They will only lead you to dark corners of the biz opp jungle, where wild, crazy eyes stare out from the black foliage, and strange hooting noses fill the night.
Why you should avoid 'Dataentrybusiness'
I wish I could now offer you a positive review, but I have to leave it to next week, when I've finished looking it over.
Instead, I have to leave you with another warning about data entry opps.
A reader emailed me to say:
"I threw away just over £30 on joining up with an outfit called dataentrybusiness. When I e-mailed them, their e-mail address was at 'surveyincomesystemsupport', but they told me that this was a business involving pay-per-click advertising.
Not what I was expecting! I said I wanted my money back as per guarantee, but they will not.
I first got to hear of this because of people in a Yahoo group contacting me, so watch out for e-mails from a Yahoo group with data_entry_business in the title. If you buy membership to take a look, you may not get your money back, despite the money-back guarantee.
For more on what I think of these dodgy data entry opportunities, check out my email from the 17th February.
If it's not in your inbox still, you can find it up on my website. Go to:

Sorry to be the harbinger of doom today. I'll be back next week with plenty of positive ideas and reviews to get you excited, I promise.
Later alligator,
Charlie Wright
