That’s right, I’m the dumb ass that went to the store and bought the peroxide, baking soda, and Mountain Dew, just to see it glow. It did not work! After I tried it, I went online to check it out and sure enough, it was confirmed, it does not work. If you don’t know what I’m talking about check out the YouTube video.

How Cool!, I thought…add some peroxide and baking soda to Mountain Dew, shake, and presto…instant glow in the dark bottle. I tried it and nothing. I shook the bottle harder, still nothing. I tried different amounts…still nothing. It just goes to show, when we want something to work, we really want it to work. Even after I found out that it is a hoax, I still tried it a couple more times. Perhaps I have too much free time, and I love to experiment.
So I like to test things by testing I can find out what works and what doesn’t work. The best way to learn is to try something for yourself.

So, the Mountain Dew did not glow-in-the-dark, so what. I have found other cool things on the Internet that do work for example, a crystal radio that only needs some copper wire and a diode. A really cool project to pick up your local AM radio station.

Another fun project that I found on the Internet is a homemade cotton candy maker. That proved to be a little more difficult, but it did work.

All in all, I would say that I have spent a lot of time testing online promises.

Internet business opportunities are no different than the fun science projects I have found…some of them work, and some of them don’t. Some only work for certain kinds of people, and others don’t work for anyone.

It’s really easy to get caught up in the hopes that something will work. Especially when we want to believe in the grand promises that are made. But big promises do not make the system work any better, and certainly does not make the program more valuable. It only seems more valuable because of our own desire to believe that it will work.

Owning your own Internet business is a great way to make money, but don’t expect that you can just plug in a website and money will start falling out of the sky at you. You are delusional if you think that way; however, if you are willing to work at it, then it is a most excellent way to earn money. It will take some time and persistance on your part. I have been at it for over 5 years now.
Thanks for reading my article!

My name is Rick Brown. I have been successful at internet marketing and advertising for more than 5 years now. I’ve tried a lot of programs, and I know what works and what doesn’t. And better, what costs money and what is free.

Good luck!
