There are so many links and information out there for ways to make money
online. It is hard to look passed the scams and find the real ventures. There
are ways, hopefully, if you are looking, you find something you are qualified
to do.
The first thing to stress to those looking to make money
from home is that just because you are working from home does not mean that
making money will be easy. The following steps will guide you through if considered.
1: If it says it is easy, or it sounds too
good, it is!
If everybody could make thousands of dollars with a few
hours of easy work, don't you think that at least one other person that you
personally know would be doing it already?
2: Be wary about investing money without a
clear idea
Many scammers will tell you about all the money that you
will make, and ask you to pay for the information, but they are never really
clear about what you will be doing. You can bet that the task is impossible,
very hard, or possibly illegal!
If you are looking for your own business, be sure there
will be money to invest as start-up. Just be careful who you give money to.
Check out every business and website at bbb.org first. If they have ANY sort of
negative feedback, do not send them money or your information. The Better
Business Bureau tells you to be sure to understand the size of the company. By
law of averages, there will be occurrences where people complain. How a company
handles these problems is the important part. If the problems are quickly and
easily resolved, the report will state that. You must understand that most
website business that are really scams are small businesses, so if they have a
handful of complaints, you must know that you will be next if you ignore the
signs.
3: Do not work for a foreign company that you
have never heard of.
A popular scam involves sending emails asking you to
basically cash their checks. In return they give you 10%. It does not make
sense that this would even be necessary. They promise you a lot of money, and
it should be weird to you that they would send an email to you when you never
contacted them first. They will end up asking for your banking information. This
brings us to the next rule.
4: Never email anyone your banking information.
This information could be intercepted, if nothing else. I
don't care how trustworthy you feel the person is, once they have asked for
bank info, they are one step away from having you scammed. Just remember....
NEVER!
5: Investigate thoroughly, and ignore urgency.
All scams include a sense of urgency. This means they
express need for the money or information quickly. This is also a common
marketing trick. Remember watching those infomercials on TV and they say order
in the next 2 minutes and receive a free gift? This is the same idea. Also,
just like in legit marketing, more than likely, the "deal" is always
available. If not, it will be again soon. Most websites, however, will replace
the date and time with their current date and time, so that no matter who
visits the site and when, it say you only have minutes to order.
6: Track your contacts and see where they are
emailing you from
In Entourage or Outlook, there is a "view
source" (or similar) located in the menu when you have an email selected.
When you view it, it shows you the email header which will have the IP address
from which an email came from. Other email programs have it to. Search for
Email Header with your program and find out how to view it. Take the IP address
to a site that tracks IPs. Again, search it, there are tons. I'm sure
iplocator.com is one. This will tell you information you may want to know.
Would you find it odd that your soon to be business partner says he is from the
UK, but has been emailing you from Nigeria? Many times you will find out what
you thought was a foreign partner, really lives right in the states near you.
This information may not be important in some instances.
It is still good to check it out and see what you find.
7: Be careful of the word FREE, especially FREE money or electronics
Many scams offer things for free. Realize that nothing is
free, and what you are getting is something that is included in the price you
are already paying.
Also, FREE lists of grants with free money or lists of
how to get free plasma screen TVs are all scams. Yes, there are grants out there.
They are not that easy to get. Most are designed for organizations, who
sometimes offer a thousand dollars here or there to personal applicants. The
important thing is that paying for a book of this information is a waste. This
information can be found in your library. Instead of taking a chance and maybe
saving some research time, just go and look yourself. You do not need a book
full of things you are never going to use. Look for what you need for free at
your local library.
Also, free merchandise is possible. However, again, this
is information that you could find yourself with the right research. How most
of the scams work is that they say you can get the company to send you a free
sample. Well, good luck with that. You will not get a free big screen TV. If
you are a legitimate business, with business information, you can usually get a
sample at a low cost. However, don't expect much, especially if you have not
formed a strong business relationship with the company first.
These rules are very important. I pass them on from
experience. I run an online store that is full of drop-shipped items. These
companies do exist as well, but all the real suppliers were not found in
compiled lists. They were found from research. Save yourself the money, and do
the hard-work yourself.
The Internet is lucrative. However, you are not going to
get rich quick and easy. Be careful and patient
One more tip i would like to add these sites seem innocent enough at first; all you have to do is send X amount of dollars to the person at the top of the list, add your name to the bottom of the list, and then forward it on to X number of friends. Look for genuine sites .
