A Million Dollars For Your Insomnia?

One of the things I have appreciated the most about living in the US is freedom of speech. Most of us come from a more controlled environment and more censored media. I was surprised at how many commercials promised me beauty with no aging, riches with minimal work and weight loss without changing diet. Many of the infomercials are very convincing and people spend a fortune right from their couches.

According to Wikipedia, infomercials are a long format television commercials. They typically air during the day or in the late nights. According to tapebeat.com, over $150 billion of consumer products in the US are sold through infomercials. There are many great products that are sold on infomercials but some of the programs require a small investment with a promise to make you rich. Here are a few that many people have responded to that need additional research.

Become a Real Estate Millionaire with Carlton Sheets "No Money Down" 

This program is supposed to show you how to make millions in real estate with no money down. The library has tons of books that have great information on real estate investing.


Free Government Money
This program promises to show you how to get government money in the form of grants and other programs. This information is freely available on government websites.


Winning in The Cash Flow Business

This program is supposed to teach people how to make money from cash flow notes from people who have lump sum payments coming to them in monthly payments.

Work From Home Opportunities
There are many infomercials that promise work at home opportunities. If you have to pay any money upfront then it is important to do your research. Other programs to be careful about are network marketing opportunities where you need to recruit friends in order to make money.

It is possible to make money in real estate, stock trading and working from home. It is important to remember that nothing comes easy and no one is willing to help you make millions for free. Most information is readily available in books and on the internet so make sure you are spending your hard earned dollars on projects you have researched.
