WORK AT HOME SCAMS - What does not work

Here's an honest and sincere review of various opportunities available online - what works and what doesn't. Educate yourself and avoid scams like the "Rich Jerk", "Paid for surveys" or another worthless junk-filled e-book. E-mail anytime for help!


If you're still looking for ways to make money online, then you most probably fall into one of the two camps:
1. You've tried and lost money (a LOT of it, or what seems to be a lot of it!) and time.
2. You're just starting and need guidance - and with everything screaming "make millions in an hour!" (okay, that may be an exaggeration), you need someone to help you steer clear of the scams.

First off, here's what you should stay away from:

1. Paid To Read Emails
The typical legit site pays about 1 cent per email read. They send you about 20
per day. So over the course of a month you will make about $6. STAY AWAY FROM THESE!!

2. Paid Survey Sites
You won't make much in just about any scenario. Stay Away!

3. Randomizers
These are ILLEGAL. These are PURE pyramid
schemes where no real product is sold and no real service is provided.

4. Doublers, Triplers, etc.
Any site you see that promises to give you double or triple your money back within a certain amount of time, run as fast as you can from them.

5. Paid Typing Companies
STAY AWAY FROM THESE SCAMS. They indulge in false adverising and just tell you to make Adwords and PPC engine ads.

6. Companies That Sell Advertising and/or Traffic Generation
These are the now ever popular "Sell the shovels and let others dig for the gold"
companies. You'll spend 8-12 hrs on phone if you make anything. Not my idea of freedom.

7. MLM (Multi Level Marketing)
This involves actual selling, and this is more like running an actual business with product and all. By no means "freedom" of the kind you're looking for.

8. Mystery Shopper
You really won't make much, and you have no control over the timings and how much you are paid. Stay away! This is not freedom by any means.

9. Paid To Surf Companies
You won't make anything more than enough to get a meal or two at McDonalds.

10. Retail Sales
While legal, none of them show you how to actually sell these things, and the commission is so low, that you would rarely make a profit, and almost never a living.

11. FREE TO JOIN!!!
They're not free - you need to upgrade to be paid, and it's unethical.

12. Get A Site JUST Like This One!!!
Useless

13. H.Y.I.P. (High Yield Investment Program)
Illegal
