Someone once said that in
"good times we have a lot of friends. In bad times we find out who are friends really are." Accept this now as a truism. Don't wait to find out the hard way.
Over time I've been in "business" with more than a few internet "friends". I use the term loosely since a little adversity has allowed me to identify those who are and those who aren't.
You see when times were good and money abounded I was always getting calls. "Do me a favor, I'm in a new program... just need one more to qualify etc., etc... join this program for me and I'll return the favor one day." Of course being a friend and wanting to see that person succeed in most cases I would do so. In either case, I would at least evaluate the program to see it's worthiness to me. If it looked like it could be something, I would join for the friend's sake. Sometimes we made made money sometimes we didn't. However, I have always tried to support those who I was in business with. Lately, I've asked some of those same people to join me in a "free" venture and very few have stepped up to the plate. I now know who my true friends are.
The lesson here is that if
you spend your hard earned money to join a "friend's" program and then that friend will not even consider joining your free program-that person is
NOT YOUR FRIEND. That person just wants to use you for your cash. The next time they ask you for a favor-politely tell them where to stuff it.
