Avoid These 7 Money Making Scams Now!

Everybody wants to make income from the Internet. So it becomes easy to get scammed by the programs which promise you fortune in short time. You must be careful with these opportunities and make the research I show below before joining any program.

What I ‘m going to do in this article is to show you the types and characteristics of easy money making scams and offer the tips how you can avoid them.

Here are the main characteristics of scams:

1- Guaranteed income. Avoid the program which guarantees you will make money. Nobody can guarantee this. Even the program is great, it will depend on your work how much money (or money at all) you will make joining that program.

You should also avoid the programs which promise you fortune in a short time.

2- No one answers your questions. Don’t join any program which doesn’t answer any of your questions before joining. If they don’t answer you before joining, probably they are not going to answer after you are in the program.

3- There are no earnings disclaimer, terms of service or privacy policy. You know, nearly all money making programs have these terms below the website. But most of money making scams don’t put them on their website. Don’t join the programs not having these legal requirements.

4- Work at home jobs. Most of the work at home programs requires an initial fee to join them. When you join them you will have to apply the companies personally without any guarantee that you will find the work you want or not.

5- Get paid to surf and Internet surveys programs. These companies try to convince you that you will make money just for being on the Internet, surfing the web, filling out surveys, answering emails. It is lie. They don’t tell you the hard part of the work (for example, a marketing part) before joining the program.

It becomes so frustrating to get enough credits for getting paid that most people quit in their fist week. That is why most of these programs require a fee before joining. Even it is free to join you will have to pay money to the companies inside your membership.

6- Products that “sell themselves”. The key to selling a product is successful marketing. If you don’t do any marketing for the product, there won’t be any sales. It is that simple. So you avoid these types of programs, too.

7- Data entry, envelope stuffing, coupon clipping. These programs most times don’t work and include much more work than data entry, envelope stuffing or coupon clipping. For example, you will need to do advertising which most people find it difficult.

Remember, it is not always easy to avoid the scams, but from time to time you will be able to spot them. I wish you success on your way of making money online.

Making Money in 2011 - Hello forum members! As we draw closer to the new year I thought it would be appropriate to change the title of our forum category "Making Money in 2010" to "Making Money in 2011" - I'm looking forward to some interesting discussions and wish everyone a prosperous New Year!
Re: UPDATES: New Campaign! New Layout! New Ideas! - [quote="Ringo So":2696kbgu]Trent - It's actually a sub-forum within the "Making Money in 2010" category. Please let me know if there are any troubles finding it.[/quote:2696kbgu] Nope, still don't see it. I see the Online Businesses forum but that has been there for a long time. Is that what you mean? I don't see any Internet Marketing section.
Re: Which would you start: a Blog or Online Community? - It is a difficult decision to make. Lets start it this way - What are you more interested in? Money? or Friends? or Both? If its purely Money, then Blog might be an appropriate answer. But consider this - It will be people (visitors) that will bring traffic to your blog and then Money will follow. This will be possible after a time and during this time it will be your friends who will be the starters. If you are looking for friends only, then its true that not many will be interested in knowing how you have beaten them in the game or the other way round. So it will be preferable to have a Forum where they can share ideas with you and others. But you can share your insider knowledge with them and invite comments from your Blog. You can also put up information on what others (including your friends) don't know about Tennis. The blog you create can provide News, Inside Information and also Techniques that can be used by the new entrants in the world of Tennis.
QuickBooks vs. Microsoft Money vs....? - I have always used Microsoft Money to run my business - accounting, invoicing, etc. It came with my computer when I got it and integrated well with my online banking system so everything is a breeze. It only takes 30-60 minutes every quarter to do the bookkeeping (keep in mind that I have a very simple business - no inventory, very little invoicing, I do all my payments by credit card, etc). Is QuickBooks or Money the best accounting tool for small business owners? Or is there something even better?
Magnetic Ads - Biz Idea - Attn Young Entrepreneurs looking for a Business Idea. This came to me while sitting in Traffic for about 1 hour while looking and laughing at ridiculous bumper stickers. Note: this idea is rough but will help get the idea-momentum going. Idea: Sell advertising on the back of cars in the form of reusable magnetic signs (about the length of 2 or 3 bumper stickers) Most people shouldn't have reservations to participating if they get a cut of the monthly fee you charge the company advertising and it doesn't hurt their car. An example of a Magnetic Ad: Geico: I saved 15% on my Car Insurance. Call 1-800-U-SAVE-15 You don't have to pay the cost associated with creating the Magnetic Ad because you will advise the company that this belongs to them and you can get them in touch with someone who created reusable magnets. So your basically managing two sides: 1. Company's that want to advertise 2. People in your neighborhood (to start) who will put the ads on their car. Bigger cars can have more than one ad. Happy Money Making!
