Work at Home Jobs - Know Whats Real and What is a SCAM

Affiliate Programs
Most affiliate programs do pay. That is if you meet minimum pay outs. I have worked for a lot of companies doing this each one has a different minimum. Its hard work and you have to have a creative catch to each ad you produce. You have to make people want to buy that particular product or service. One thing you need to remember is to research that product to give you a better idea of what it is you are selling. If you are working for affiliate programs you need to be willing to invest at least three hours a day or maybe more depending on the volume of sales you generate.

Home Based Business
This is where it get tricky. And the name says it all. It is a business and expect an investment. There are start up costs just like if you were to open a store are any retail business. Never fall for the " FREE BUSINESS" scams because there are always a start up cost. Some businesses will say at home business with out start up but there are always a catch you either have a down line that to be paid you have to invest a lot to receive the pay they promise. There is also a up line in the mix of it all that means the person who signed up in front of you gets paid by you. Heres and example. You sign up for a income generating site "FREE" later you get an email that says you have money coming so and so just upgraded. the truth is when they upgraded that make them in line for your upgrade fees that can range from $30 to as much as $1500 depending on the type of site it is. Yes it is income generating but do you have that kind of money to invest I don't thats why I say if it said free and they tell you you have money coming then why not take out the upgrade fees from what they say you have coming? Don't make sense that you have to pay to get what they say you have waiting on you any way. Can you say SCAM.

EMAIL Opportunity
I get a lot of emails saying JOB Opportunity. But in Reality its a fraudulent check cashing scam. They say its completely legal guess again. Its not if you do get the checks are money orders and sometimes they send travelers checks chances are they are fraudulent and can end up costing you.

Paid to Read
This is a very low paying JOB. It does pay but it takes a long time to meet payout. On average it can take as long as a year to meet their pre-set payout.if they tell you that each email is worth $100 guess again its only worth about a $1.00 I have done a few paid to read scams. Well they do pay so I guess Scam is harsh. But when it comes to pay outs it take a long time if there are high pay email you can expect about a year to reach pay out. Because your pay out is set real high.

Paid to Sign up
This is great if you need the service they want you to sign up for. And if you have a credit card for the sign ups. Need i say More.

Paid to Promote
This goes back to Affiliate programs. Its good and does pay but it is time consuming.

EBAY
Not a scam just costly. It takes a lot to post your product and a lot of time keeping your store running. In a way its better to start your own web site and post your products there. I do have a store on ebay but I only post what I can afford and until I sell something I don't post any more. I seem to make more by posting them on my own web site. All the profits are your to keep and you don't have posting fees. There are some web developing companies that let you design you own web site FREE. You can use safe list sites to get your products advertised.

There are lots of opportunities on the Internet that you can make an extra income at just be careful that you aren't a victim of a SCAM. In todays Internet there are more SCAMS then there are opportunities.
