$22,000 in Losses

The year 2009 has proven to be my best year as an internet marketer so far. In fact, I've broken more goals than I even thought I would have (although not the $20 million / year goal... next year maybe?).

Some of these goals are good. Revenue was up, profit was up, I purchased a home, got married, life is good.

Some of these "records" so to speak... not so good. In looking through finances this year I've realized this year I've lost more money to bad businesses than ever before. Over $22,000 in unpaid commissions. Ouch.

These are (mostly) from two companies which will remain nameless for the sake of not starting a riot. One company is now bankrupt and the other is still alive, and we've since worked it out.

In this business, not getting paid is part of the game. Sadly it happens at times because there are shady people working in this business. If you're legit, stay with the more legit networks - the established companies.

Don't go off and join any ol' network because the chances of you not getting paid are exponentially higher.

So here is my list of networks to join that have always paid me on time and can be trusted. Don't get scammed out of money like I did. Use the networks I recommend.

Thanks to those companies who have helped to make this year great!
