Give up your individuality for a free t-shirt?

Give up your individuality for a free t-shirt? EyeEarn.com ripped off an idea I had years ago, in fact there are probably a few who thought of it before I did. Essentially the idea I had was called Punk Ads, it was at punkads.tv which has long since disappeared. The point is I was already one step ahead of the game way back then, the difference between my t-shirt ‘billboard’ idea and EyeEarn’s is the power of chance opportunities and the world media - if you can manage to “borrow it” for a while. I’ll explain my alternative process once I’ve got you clued up on EyeEarn and why their idea will never work.

First of all the site is “powered by” SFI international, an enormous affiliate system that I never wanted to pay to find out exactly what they do or sell, simply because I don’t pay any company to provide me an income, only a service. It’s something I learned a long long time ago, if you can buy say some information that had the potential to make others rich, then it maybe worth the price, but here’s the basic rule. If part or even all of your monthly fees contribute to yours or someone else’s back-pocket then it’s MLM (multi level marketing). Recruiting recruiters to earn yourself an income is a bad idea and it all comes down to probabilities.

The guy who starts a successful MLM company is guaranteed success, perhaps a few of his friends as well, the rest will be lucky if they ever make that money back. It’s just a matter of confidence rather than choice, as with franchises, you have to weigh up the outlay for the letterheads, stickers, equipment, leads, but at least you should have a real product to sell, even if you do end up paying over the odds for wholesale prices. Sometimes a name can help, McDonalds and most fast food companies offer franchises, I’m not condoning junk food, I’m only pointing out that you do get a lease on a real building full of equipment and staff, a high street or mall location, and of course an extremely famous logo to pull the punters in. For all that expect to pay tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands for an established city centre giant. Read more
