New MLM Resource to Separate the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Man Burnt By Internet Schemes Creates Site to Help Others Avoid Same Fate.

In late summer of 2002, 25-year-old Clay Mabbitt of Bloomington, Indiana joined one of the many available Internet money making programs and invested a few thousand dollars. The program "guaranteed" that he would make all of this money back and more. Mabbitt intended to use the profit from the program to pay off student loans and the mortgage on his house. It has been several months since that initial investment, and Mabbitt has no expectation of seeing that money again.

Rather than despair at the wasted money, the Indiana native decided to create a service that would provide information to aspiring internet entrepreneurs on effective money-making programs. The free web-based service, AffiliateScreen.com, rates and reviews programs that cover areas as diverse as reselling products, getting paid to read advertisements, and marketing web sites. Most of the programs are either free or cost less than $30 to join. The programs are categorized and rated with outlines of their major strengths and weaknesses. The service even features and advanced search interface that allows visitors to hone in on the opportunities that best fit their needs.

There are genuine opportunities to build wealth online, however the Internet makes it easier than ever for con artists to lure investors into giving away their savings. AffiliateScreen.com is helping people find the programs that will give them something in return for their investment.
