Spam, it now account for 65% or more of all emails sent… With so many emails sent, is spamming really a profitable business?

Stock spamming
ZDNet wrote back in 2004 “a spammer who owns 1,000 shares in a company sends out an e-mail saying “buy these shares, they’re about to really take off” and if enough people are tempted it not only become a self-fulfilling prophecy but it makes them a tidy packet in the process.” Spammers would tell everyone to buy a certain stock making the prices rise, often the strategy has been successful prompting everyone to get right out and buy a certain stock.

Is Email Spam profitable?
Email spam is all about getting the message out to as many people as possible. Though you might think that no one is gullible to fall for spam… Keep in mind..

There are more gullible people on the web than you think…

New people are joining the internet everyday, many of whom who probably can’t distinguish a spam email or for another… Or just imagine if you send out millions of emails, at least a couple have to be interested enough to click on to that spammers website. All it does is take some good ad placement and it’s the perfect strategy…

Many types of spam businesses
Spam isn’t limited to just email… telemarkting is a form of spam, just as junk mail in your post office, and not limited to spammy myspace profiles, or just comments that are all spam related.

As long as spammers turn massive profits, it’s not going away anytime soon, as we adapt to internet technolgy… so will the spammers…

What if clicking your ads was legal and you could get paid for it?  The biggest no no when using ad programs like Adsense is clicking your own ads.  You’ll get banned before you reach your next $100.

How much per click?
You’ll get an entire 1 cent, wow, ok so not much.   But, I guess 10 cents a day can add up to something after awhile.

How it works
Bux.to has a list of ads that you look through and click.  After viewing the ad for 30 seconds, you’ll get 1 cent deposited into your account.  On a larger scale you are only getting paid  $1.20 an hour.  If you live in an undeveloped country this might be a good wage?

The biggest thought I’ve had today is, how much does money really mean to you and does having more money really make you any happier? As I’ve started making more and more in my personal life, I’ve noticed a few aspects of my life that are better due to that fact that I have been earning more and more money.

1.Money=Stability. With money comes financial stability. The more money you have, the safer you feel. The lack of money often creates unstable relationships and can tend to break up marriages. Those who don’t worry about money, often can have happier marriages due to the lack of strain of the relationship moneywise

2. How much is enough to matter? I’ve noticed that the difference between a $30,000 income and a $50,000 income is luxury. The more money you have the more luxury you have. Though the person making a decent $30,000 income isn’t really worried about money, they do have to cut back in their daily life. The person making a cool $50,000 often can enjoy getting a few beers at an expensive nightclub, afford newer cars, and go more often on vacation. Does this mean a happier life? No, just a more luxurious one.

3. Money as a showoff tool. For those who like to show everyone how much „better“ they really are, money is one of the easiest tools. These people are often seen wearing the best designer clothing, driving the fastest car, and living in the largest house, just to show how much „better“ they really are. Take for example the singer 50 cent, who grew up poor. He loves to show off his new found richness by owning a large playboy mansion as well as a collection of cars that would make anyone envious.

4. Money and Dating. Have you ever noticed that it’s usual that people of the same financial standing tend to date? Rich go with Rich, Poor go with poor. So is life. Of all the girls I’ve dated they were all middle class. It seems problematic when one member of the relationship just has plenty of money while the other one doesn’t. Even Canada has their own „Club Osmose“ a dating website exclusively for rich people. Birds of a feather flock together? As generally two people of the same race tend to date (not always the case) so can be generally said for people of the same financial living standard.

5. Money and Confidence. The more money I earn, the more confident I’ve felt. When I can go out to the bar and shell out $40 without thinking, it only adds to my level of confidence. A guy who acts without thinking about money is going to come off better than one who has a budget mindset. At times when my income has been unusually low, I’ve also felt a sense of shame and a degredation of my own self worth.

Money does not matter entirely in my life, yet I can’t help to agree that even though you might not notice it, the influence of money is around you everyday, effecting, dating, your relationships, and even your feeling of self worth.

You work hard everyday, yet some people have been able to earn 1 million using stupid ways and ideas most people would consider stupid.
