I’m sure you recognize the famous words above.

Here’s another Robert Frost quote:

“Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can’t, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it”

A couple of days ago I submitted my first articles to several articles sites, and I was both slightly surprised and quite happy to learn that they were accepted for publication.

Not too bad for a newbie.
(and somehow I don’t like that word: “Newbie)

Back to the headline: …”But I have promises to keep”…

When I surf the ‘net and look at all the incredible and fantastic offers with promises of instant riches and millionaire status in literally no time I am overwhelmed by the kindness of these Internet marketers.

Imagine: Stuff like “Make 100.00 dollars in 10 days”  (or was it: “Make 10 dollars in 100.00 days)?

To be fair many of the sites promising Heaven and Earth have a disclaimer where they say that of course they cannot guarantee that *you* will make any money at all.

The disclaimer is often written with very small letters, and the font is light grey, so you need sharp eyesight to be able to read it at all.

The point I’m trying to make here is that very few people are stupid enough to fall for this kind of marketing.

Why not - at least - TRY to be a little more honest, and not make promises it’s impossible to keep?
