    How to make money from home.

If you’re looking to make a legitimate income online, then you  have to read this because there really are ways to make money  on the world wide web. The problem is sorting out the scams  from the genuine money-making opportunities. We’ve spent 18  months picking apart a hundred work at home programs and  recording data and numbers. What we discovered was appalling!

There are many ‘writers’ online that simply aim to capitalize  off the dreams of people like you.  Many times we could not reach these ‘writers’ via email,fax,  or phone to obtain the refund they had promised on their sales  page. That is why this site was conceived. We are here to help  as many people as we can find the TRUEST, and most successful  Online money-making businesses. 

There are obvious signs that will immediately tell you if you  are being scammed. 

1. Have you been on a site, and noticed the sales pitch you  were reading failed to mention JUST WHAT PRODUCT OR SERVICE  was being sold? Chances are you probably have. They paint this  beautiful picture about fancy cars and mansions; trips to  exotic paradise resorts, and all that can be YOURS?! Umm, not  quite. These people are selling you the “Dream” of having a  wealthy lifestyle. The name of these programs are  ‘Multi-level Marketing schemes'(MLM), or they’re also called  ‘Pyramid schemes’. The point is to get YOU to recruit other  people by feeding them the same dream that you were fed. The  only ones making real money are the creators of the program. 

A GENERAL RULE: IF THEY’RE NOT SELLING AN ACTUAL  PRODUCT, DO NOT GIVE THEM $$

2. Stuffing envelopes from the comfort of your own home? This is supposed to be an employment offer. Yet you are asked  to send money to a company that claims they need it to add  you to their database. It does NOT take money to input a couple   lines of data into a server! This is another scam. Common sense  will tell you that NO ONE in their right mind will pay up to $3  dollars to have ONE envelope stuffed. 
3. Chain Letters

Chain Letters, Electronic or Otherwise, are not legal. First  of all, we want to point out that no matter what the scam  artist tells you in the letter, these little schemes ARE NOT  LEGAL, and people HAVE done jail time over them. For example,  Dave Rhodes spent a number of years in a Federal Prison   (and may still be there for all I know) for his starting of  this whole scheme electronically back in the days of the  Bulletin Board Services instead of the internet. Whether  disguised as a “mailing list,” selling recipes,” a “free loan,”  “selling reports,” a “gifting club,” “lottery ticket club,” or  any of a hundred other thin veils, they are still chain letters,  and still illegal.

4. Mass Emailing

For example, many companies that promote bulk email will tell  you that sending out bulk email is the road to riches. It isn’t.  And, if that stock really was such a good deal, why is this person  sending you ? and millions of other people ? this “secret” tip?

5. “I Can show you how to make $36,000 in only 5 days!”

This is quite possibly the most popular scam floating around  the internet. How does this person know for a fact that YOU, a  person he’s never met, can make all that money in just 5 days?!  For all he knows, the person on the other end is slightly brain  damaged..or lazy even. The point is- never believe anyone who puts  a set dollar amount without knowing anything about the person  buying his ‘program.’ Individual results will always vary from  person to person. The sad truth is that online businesses CAN NOT  be operated by just anyone with a PC and internet connection. 

It takes alot of work to earn a living off the internet, but  that’s why it feels so amazing when the money starts to roll in.

Your Own Business – If Not Now, When?

You have wanted to have your own business for a long time.  But, every time you sit down to write out a business plan for yourself, you end up discouraged because all you have is a list of things you know nothing about!

For example: 

1) If you are going to have a business, you have to have something to sell – either a product or a service – and you do not have either one.

2) If you have a business, you have to advertise – and you have no idea how to do that, not to mention you do not have a lot of money for it.

3) If you want to do this on the internet, you will need a website – you certainly have no idea how to make one of those or how to keep it going!

ACK!  You are ready to quit now and you haven’t even started!  Let’s go through just these three things, shall we?

1) If you are going to have a business, you have to have something to sell – either a product or a service – and you do not have either one. 

Well, if you want to make any money, this part is true!  BUT – the product or service does not have to your very own.  In other words, you do not have to have this product in your possession, nor do you have to be the one to perform this service!  You can be the one that brings a product or service to other people – explain about it to them, highlight the benefits of it to them.  You can simply use other people’s products or services to make money for yourself.

2) If you have a business, you have to advertise – and you have no idea how to do that, not to mention you do not have a lot of money for it.

Yes, you are correct that you have to advertise.  BUT – you can learn to do this!  You can search on the web for advertising help and tips.  There are many out there.  You can join a group of people that know something about it and get input from them.  You can join up with a company that gives you free training!  For example, Strong Future International (SFI) has a free Internet Income Course that is very detailed and you can get it just by signing up with them – and it costs nothing to sign up!

There are even ways you can advertise for free!  Doing free advertising takes times, but usually when you don’t have a lot of money to spend, you are willing to spend your time.  You can also find some low cost ways to advertise.  You can get people interested in the products or services you are promoting by visiting different forums on the web and participating in discussion groups or message boards.  Just be careful to always follow the rules of each forum/message board you visit – do not spam them!

3) If you want to do this on the internet, you will need a website – you certainly have no idea how to make one of those or how to keep it going!

This is very true!  BUT – getting and maintaining a website is not as hard as you might think!  I would never have believed that I could be a webmaster – but I am!  There are many good companies that will help you get a website started – they have templates you can use, easy instructions, and many even have phone support.

So, we have been through these three steps and I have shown you how you can get started.  Find other people you can learn from; join a team of other successful entrepreneurs; search the web for information.

So now, you really only have one question to answer for yourself:  If not now, when?
