How to Get Rich Off of Other People's Stupidity

There's a sucker born every minute, and if you can't find him, then you're it. Getting rich off of the stupidity of other people is an art form. Note that I do not directly advocate any of the techniques of which I will avail you forthwith; I report them simply to alert you to their presence, and I write in the style I do to encourage serious reading. Here's how to get rich off of other people's stupidity.

1. To get rich off of other people's stupidity, you must first gain their trust. This is the object of all the 4 am no money down real estate ads you see on television, the work at home bits you see marketed all over the internet, the envelope stuffing, the multilevel marketing schemes, all of it. If they don't gain your trust, they can't make you do their work for them.

2. After you gain your patsy's trust, you must turn attention away from the actual work to be done. Work from home schemes never tell you what you'll be selling or that you'll actually be spamming countless people in hopes that one or two bite. They have pictures of big cars, bikini models and naked women, and stories of 2 hour, $100,000 days. To get rich off of other people's stupidity, sell the sizzle, not the steak.

3. After you initially entice your victims, it's your job to keep them enticed and fleece them for as long as you can. Multilevel marketers have this technique down pat. Only after you join the special online work from home club do you get the privilege of plopping down even more money to get into the super secret online club where the proprietor of the business will teach you his secret techniques in a one time only meeting. And don't forget the big in person meeting at the Radisson hotel for only $199.99, where you can hear your work at home guru in person. People naturally get uninspired, especially if they're not doing well. You have to keep that initial energy up to get rich off of other people's stupididy. Good luck!
