Update on adplacers.com scam review

As we know people are waiting patiently to the 30 of June to see if they get paid as promised for the work they did for adplacers. While I am very glad for the people who were paid by these people before May, there are many, including them waiting to be paid for work in May. I've recently found out those who have joined since the end of May are still waiting for their Rush Card. Adplacers promised it would be sent in the beginning of June. Needless to say the online rumbles of people waiting are loud and clear. They are reporting the program to whomever will listen. They are sharing with us for a possible warning to stay away. What concerns me is if we went to work for a brick and mortar, traditional job it would get picked up by the networks as not meeting payroll, loosing credibility in the market place. On line, nontraditional jobs are on the other hand exempt from this threat to their livelihood. When they fold they can just start up again under a different name with adjustments to what worked for them before. Do you think the people to started the program did not get paid as well? Wrong. They also have people. People who comb the internet looking for people like me who help squash their name for good. They do what ever they can to stop us but to bad. People like me don't become intimidated to easily.

Free to join online income

Everyone it seems is looking for a free income online. Unfortunately while it doesn't cost money, do you have the perseverance and dedication  to commit your attention to that program making only a few pennies a day? It is possible to gain daily income level much higher than pennies a day but are you willing to blog, seek out other bloggers that also blog about something relevant to your blog? Are you willing to take risk while your income grows? One way or another you will need to sacrifice something. That sacrifice may be time, effort or both. Online earning is the same as off line earning. Brick and mortar businesses are built the same way. Online business only means you won't have the heavy overhead offline businesses have. The heart of my business is all in my laptop. While I can access all my information from my other computer and soon my blackberry I still have to have an office within my home. True it's a tax write off but it is only that. It is not a reimbursement.

Is my personal recession coming to an end?

The recession has hit me particularly hard. After two and a half years of researching I've actually begun making more money. Yes, I've been told over and over again, it can take that long to finally earn something, anything online. Since I began this research I realized my findings could be useful information to others, hence this blog. This blog isn't going away anytime soon however. Since I've scheduled 36 hours a week for my business I have 4 hours to research other places to make an income and keep my hobby.
What I do doesn't and wouldn't work for everyone. I have a marketing education and have written corporate communications for years. With all that put together I've been tailoring what I want to do with what I'd love to do to finally come up with something that makes me excited to get out of bed in the morning.  But it would be irresponsible of me to say, "come join me!". It's not for everyone. All I can do for you is put you in touch with my website. In it is a place where you can see and buy gift baskets.
I picked this for my corporate marketing business because of the value it would add to anyone looking for a thoughtful and appreciated gift for anyone. No more biscotti and coffee samples for the holidays. Those obligatory gifts for family members, friends and neighbors would have the quality to say I care. It also shows a businesses strength without costing too much money. Anything else I offer is good for companies only.

Multitasking the right way

Multitasking the right way conjures up visions in each person’s mind in very different ways. Yet you have to ask yourself are you really multitasking? The perception of multitasking is different in each persons mind. Employment advertising will say: able to multitask in a fast paced……. A Walmart greater saying good morning to 10 customers at once is fast pace. Looking around for trash and dirt as well is multitasking. But you never see a job offer for the position saying these criteria are part of the job!

Entering an online career is equally fast pace and multitasking depending on who you talk to. Most people think multitasking means talking on the phone, driving and writing all at the same time is multitasking. Ok, maybe you are multitasking, but we all know the consequences that develop at some point when you do this. Most people think if you are talking on the phone and entering data into a computer is multitasking, but some don’t. You are physically doing two things. I think that’s multitasking. However, when I’m doing some mundane task like doing dishes and thinking about prioritizing my day or writing this blog, I of that as multitasking, it’s just no one can see me doing it!

I love asking the interviewer what their definition of multitasking is which actually shocks them! It’s hilarious listening to their answer! You aren’t supposed to ask this question during an interview! The same goes for asking them what they mean by fast paced or, if you’re older than 40 don’t ask them what their definition of too old to fulfill the requirements of the job.

Some of the best words of wisdom I ever heard were: Do one thing and do it well. These are wise words, on the other hand, what is the definition of “one thing”? Everyone with one 9 to 5 job thinks they are doing one thing because they have only one job! What about your hobbies? What about your responsibilities?

Everyone from the school janitor up to the president of the US have more to do than their job or run their company. Raising a family and many are becoming do-it-yourselfers since the recession. What about sports fans?  Then there are the second property owners. Everyone has more than one thing going on!

I think the wiser statement is “know your priorities”. Right now making a living is my highest priority. When I’m going to the post office and thinking about my conference call coming up, I’m multitasking. So what is your definition of multitasking? Once you know, do it and do it very well!

La Bella Gift Baskets scam review

La Bella Gift Baskets review is something I told you I'd fill you in on periodically. After being involved with this company for a few days I can say this: I"m beginning to like it more and more. Just the amount of knowledge I've gained and reassured the knowledge  I came in with is true and correct is enough to start trusting it.
Besides knowing I'm on-board a company that fulfills the criteria of having something of value is a hole in one! There are few other companies out there that do what La Bella  does. La Bella, however has leveraged itself above the rest by catering to those not orientated with the internet marketplace.
Seriously, for under .07 a day you get all the training, knowledge, tips and tricks to get going as quickly as possible in a field you've never been in before? But to be able to look into a program for 2 cents a day for a week is huge! But there is a lot more they will do for you once you get rolling. While you are getting the word out about your business and putting yourself "through school" they are managing your business for you! By filling, shipping, and billing your orders for you, you can go out and put your personality into it.
With the first call you will have the opportunity to put your talent and kindness into your business. You bond with people who are interested in what you do! You'll talk to all levels of people. Starting with talking to people interested in what you do and might want to do it themselves. Many are out of work and can't find work. If you've ever gone through that, you can relate to them and tell them how this business won't be able to fire you. You'll talk to people who are all about shopping for the cheapest business to be involved with, business people who all about the business end.
What I'm most impressed with is the personal contact you get with the owners who've walked in our shoes and the forum where we can talk to each other, get ideas, and help each other go forward.

But this business is not for everyone. It is a marketing and sales job. To explain how I see it so far:
It's a lot like selling a car. You park it somewhere where as many people can see it as possible and put a "for sale" sign on it. You advertise it for free on craigslist and any other free sites that you know of. You might possibly post it in a monthly magazine that caters just to car buyers and sellers.
You would not on the other hand forget to clean and detail it, answer your phone, or check online for possible buyers.
You would know for sure it may take some time to actually sell it.

To sell La Bella gift baskets your personality cannot be that of a reclusive. On the other hand there are a handful of reclusive people out there who are experts at online SEO writing and keywords who can make this successful. It all depends on what you can offer going in. I can tell you that if you know SEO writing well enough you'll find your website begins with a ridiculously high search engine ranking right from the start! I was proud the first time one of my websites hit the number My La Bella Baskets has right now, 14 days after starting it. Just the money I make from Clixesnse pays for 2 months of membership. My lot pays me $10 a year so that's half of another month. Obviously my most immediate goal is finding ways to pay for LBB that are strictly from online earnings.
I'm also involved with Survey Savvy. It does pay you real money to fill out surveys. I've been paid. They send a check to me in the mail. So for those of you who don't have paypal in the first place you will love this!
With all information I'm providing here you will notice one glaring fact: there is no truely easy way to make money on line unless you truely love being on line.

Gift Basket consulting

As Monday comes to a close I look back on what I've done today and what I did last week and I must say I've accomplished a lot. Today I checked my bank accounts, and all I can say is pitiful. I ordered my free 250 business cards, well, you pay 5 something for shipping and I scheduled a meeting for tomorrow. I sent my husband off to South Dakota to work through Weds. I cleaned the house over the weekend so I have no interruptions til Weds night. So I'm taking myself out to a nice dinner tomorrow night. Next I get to play with my photos I took at the family get together on Sunday. Now if I could only see a profit from all of this! Maybe down the line. we'll see.

We pay daily action plan

As long as I can't find anything about We Pay Daily, good or bad, and it's got an Alexa ranking I've decided to become the guinea pig. Wish me luck!

We Pay Daily Reviews and scam reports

We Pay Daily is a mystery company to me. While doing most of the research I can about it I found nothing online talking about it. Good or Bad reports should be coming in. I see nothing, even by the people I know who are experts in the field of ferreting out everything about it! I see reports on it's rankings in Alexa but nothing is in the Google search engine. I'm going to try some more things but this is completely weird! Hopefully, buy the end of the day I will find out something. If anyone knows anything about this company, please share!

Craigslist Scam warning

I received an email recently that said: "Dear Applicant,



     It’s great hearing from you from,reviewing your resume we got for
the job of Mystery Shopper Position as posted on Craigslist.
Mercantile Systems,Inc. is a company that conducts surveys and stealth
evaluation of companies and organizations. Our mystery shoppers pose
as normal customers to perform specific tasks such as purchasing a
product, asking questions,registering complaints or behaving in a
certain way and then providing detailed reports or feedback about
their experiences.)
It included a place to put all of my information on the email then hit reply!

They did a great job making it look like they were responding to my email. It stated everything but the time I sent the email. The date matched something in craigslist I did reply to. But knowing I would not respond to a secret shopper ad unless by mistake I was fairly certain I did not reply to it. Sure enough, on the 8th I replied to one ad on craigslist. It was a customer service ad that said nothing about a secret shopper. The persons (?) name matched the one on the email I received. So I fired back at them that they were crooks and how I figured that out. I keep careful track of what I do online. I didn't tell them how I do that. Why help them get better at what they do!
This kind of scam goes like this: They give you an assignment and tell you you will receive $$$$$$$$+. When you are done with it and submit the results they send you money via paypal or Western Union. They then file a dispute with paypal and get their money back, or you end up finding out the money from Western Union was never good in the first place.
Pay pal has no proof the work was done. They have no choice but to refund the buyer. The Western Union check IS NOT Western Union!
You may get the "money" before you go to your assignment.
On a final note-Never give any information on any email directly and hit reply. These people are also spammers and worse yet, the primary sources for information for identity theft!
These people are getting tricky and are very creative in how to disguise themselves as legitimate employers!


 

La Bella Gift Baskets is getting my best efforts

I've sincerely been "pounding the pavement" for my La Bella gift basket business. I've been advertising on craigslist and facebook marketing. Today I order business cards from vista print. (I will write up an entire post about vistaprint later.) This week I want to start  "papering the town". It will take about 10 days to get the business cards.
I've been getting phone calls and emails to start up my business just from the free advertising I did last week. Now if just one of them would actually sign up! I've been working at this since the 3rd of June, however that first week was purely a crash course in all things La Bella.
If nothing else I'm having fun. Next I get on my bike and put up fliers.
Ideas to market:
Reach 600 people and their possible associations with others who could use gift baskets. Give one gift basket a year to my autistic son's public housing facility.
Bring one cookie gift basket to family reunions. Who doesn't love watching children enjoy themselves?

Craigslist warning

I really need to talk to you about Craigslist and applying for jobs. I'm posting a job ad as I will soon need help for my business. People have been just submitting their resume', not reading the ad. They are just attaching their resume' and moving on. I feel like responding to them about getting my professional resume' writing services. They've been written horribly. They don't have a cover letter targeting their abilities that would relate to the job description!
All I can say is don't do this! It's far more important than you know! Just submitting your resume' tells me you are just throwing your resume' around and nothing else. I can tell you from years of experience in the financial industry it would just hit the shredder. Think of the job description as your supply of the key words necessary to land the job. Take those words and highlight your ability in those areas. Use specific examples of past work or schooling or volunteer activities. Without putting any thought into the actual very important step of showing real interest in landing the right job for you the employer immediately thinks, "Would they put any thought into the actual job?" Their answer would be "No". Please put some thought into it, even in craigslist!

These are words I've lived by my whole life. This sums it up in a couple of paragraphs!

The Biggest Success Secret: Be Bold and Ask

By Keith Ferrazzi



My father simply could not be embarrassed when it came to fulfilling his family's needs. Here's an illustration.

Asking Turns Generosity into a Shared Gift

I remember when I was a young boy, Dad and I were driving down the road to our home when he spotted a broken Big Wheel tricycle in someone's trash. He stopped the car, picked it up and knocked on the door of the home where the discarded toy sat, waiting to be picked up.

"I spotted this Big Wheel in your trash," he told the woman who answered the door. "Do you mind if I take it? I think I can fix it. It would make me feel wonderful to give my son something like this."

What guts! Can you imagine such a proud, working-class guy approaching that woman and, essentially, admitting he was so poor that he'd like to have her garbage? Oh, but that's not the half of it. Imagine how that woman felt, having been given an opportunity to give such a gift to another person. It surely made her day.

"Of course," she gushed, explaining that her children were grown and years had passed since the toy had been used. "You're welcome to the bicycle I have, too. It's nice enough that I just couldn't throw it away..."

So we drove on. I had a "new" Big Wheel to ride and a bike to grow into. She had a smile and a fluttering heart that only benevolence breeds. And Dad had taught me that there is genius, even kindness, in being bold.

The Big Lesson: Ask for What You Want

Every time I start to set limits to what I can and can't do or fear starts to creep into my thinking, I remember that Big Wheel tricycle. I remind myself how people with a low tolerance for risk, whose behavior is guided by fear, have a low propensity for success. The memories of those days have stuck with me.

My father taught me that to get what you want, sometimes you must be willing to go out and ask for it. The worst anyone can say is no. If they choose not to give their time or their help, it's their loss. Surprisingly, though, you'll run into people like that woman who answered the door when my father knocked. Then, your challenge is to graciously accept the generosity that you're offered.

There are times when I can make a big difference in another person's life. I can open a door or place a call or set up an internship -- one of those simple acts by which destinies are altered. But too often, the offer is refused.

The recipient will say, "Sorry, but I can't accept the favor because I'm not sure I'll ever be able to repay you," or "I'd rather not be obligated to anyone, so I'll have to pass." Sometimes, they'll insist right then and there that they return the favor somehow. To me, nothing is as infuriating as encountering such blindness about how things work.

People insist on trying to beat the world by themselves, which means they continue to struggle. Next time you're tempted by that misguided fantasy of success through John Wayne-style individualism, I hope you'll remember the first secret I shared with you: You can't get there alone. We're all in this together.

Update on loot2boot

After my post on June 13 about loot2boot it seems I suddenly can no longer use their services. Oh boohoo. I found they think I have dsl through comcast or something. I found it by following the disclosure in my website stats that an AOL search was used to access my site. I found this surprising for two main reasons. This is what the search turned up: You No Longer Have Permission To Access This Site admin@ourloot2boot.com. Web researcher was "superman". Red lights went up for stalking. Red lights went up because only yesterday did adsence say my account has been disabled. Someone went in there and clicked the same adds a bunch of times in a row. Too bad that's all loot2boots got. Adsence isn't the way I make money!

Work at home income

Work at home scams will do anything for your $10. For every person sending their $10 they do nothing. They win, you lose $10. 10 people, $100. Their recession is over, yours continues.
Once again a website using the word Google showed up up after visiting a reputable web site. Make $8000 a month for our free system. $10 later you are out $10. I can practically guarantee it. You can only join for this today and today only and you may have a check coming to you for $500 a week from now!
No you won't. All the bells of stay away should be ringing off right now. If it were that easy everyone would be doing it and the  recession would go away. Again these people are also praying on those of us who are panicking and need a job now. They stress urgency: Today only. No time to think. No time to research. In fact they don't give you the web site or a company name. Yet people send them money and a lot of it.
Honestly, if you can't research it and you are recession proof you will probably just walk away feeling ripped off. For some it means loosing grocery money. These people will never see jail.
Some of the smartest people I know don't even bother to view this stuff. They just walk on doing what they do best online. They work at it. You need to as well.

If adsence is disabled....cont'.

There is another opportunity for me to be safe from the whims of others secretive T & C policies. Wordpress.org. I've got this idea for people reading this blog. Marketing has changed a lot in the last year. People don't have "disposable income" anymore. States with revenue from summer tourism are getting that revenue  primarily from the residents of that state. Keeping an eye on the pulse of tourism will be the marketing forecast for next year as well. The only exception to this rule is if a major mineral deposit is suddenly discovered producing tons of revenue for that state.
I know the Minnesota market place this summer and next summer. Even road construct will have a huge effect on the states revenue. So I highly recommend you study up one your state. Be the go to place for marketing companies to get information on your states tourism. Then go to wordpress.org. You'll be glad you did!

Adsence acct disabled

That's right, my adsence acct has been disabled. Amazingly enough they didn't notice I am not working for big money from advertising on my sites. I think I've made just under $16 since Jan. 2009. I can only guess it may have something to do with the whistle blowing I do and have been doing only recently. I have been clicking on my own advertising within my blogs I'd like for them to tell me how.
If I'm not coached by adsence what was done wrong it wouldn't do me any good to go back anyhow. I will move forward with what I do for others in either case.

La Bella Gift Baskets

La Bella Gift Baskets has been distracting me lately. After watching people chime in on the subject over the last 14 months I finally dove in. I started my first online business. You and I both know it's very hard to judge how well a business is going to work for you until you actually start doing it. I've joined my fair share only to find I'm snowed under by so much new information and incapable of seeing the path forward or they don't deliver what they promised. I can usually tell the day after joining whether or not I should stick around.
It's not unusual for reputable people to say how much they make by their association with a program only to find out these people are online experts to begin with, or have some kind of background to make that business work for them. Not all programs are right for everyone. In this case people were saying they started out knowing nothing at all but the support provided supplied answers before they even ran into the problem! Mia and Janice, co-founders of this company pour their heart and soul into this company. And it wasn't until I ran into the offer on craigslist that I joined. It was listed under Jobs, customer service. Mia and Janice somehow knew long ago that by helping others they would help themselves. On line commerce only works if you are helping others
Every business is going to try to sell you on their website why their company is the right one for you. This one has followed through with their promises!
I love being in the heart of commerce. I have a hospitality soul. I also love to learn how to do things online. With these passions I should be able to take this and fly! My only concern is: how hard will I want to kick myself a year from now for not joining earlier?

Is the Global Success Club Blog a scam

Is the globalsuccessclubblog a scam?

Global success club blog is a scam. I wouldn’t touch it and expect many more complaints about this site, if it survives at all.

I am 100% convinced the answer is yes! Why? This is the craigslist ad:

I clicked on this ad on June 7^th, today at about 8:30 am. I knew it was a scam before I opened the ad and more than confirmed it after opening the website.

The ad itself prays on our hope and desperation to make money in the aftermath of the recession. It wants you to believe you can make over $8000 a month with little to no knowledge about earning an online income. They say they have a system, a 90 day system. All you have to do is follow their step by step instructions.

I clicked on the link that led me to the site. The first thing it says is: “Tired of all the lies, scams, and empty promises?” This produced a smile on my face! That in itself busted them! If you are a legitimate site you don’t have to say that! Always look for the forum for its members to discuss all things about earning on their site.  I don’t see it!

You’ve already made a great step forward by doing the research. If you’re on the fence at all about any website you do the scam hunt! Good for you.

How do you blog and make money?

“Rivers do not drink their own water, nor do trees eat their own fruit, nor do rain clouds eat the grains reared by them. The wealth of the noble is used solely for the benefit of others”
A friend quoted this ancient saying and it explained my entire purpose of this blog. If I can't help others I'm nothing at all. According to this saying I am Noble! Cool!

American Income Life, how to report unnscrupulous interview tactics

Contact the company itself! The people trying to pull in more sales force are independent franchise owners not governed by the company itself. How they conduct business is up to them. For instance AIL has no control of the recruitment practices that the office that wasted my time and money uses. In my experience I've never had any other problems with AIL, My mom was the first one in my family with AIL policies. My son has one. Hubby and I have a bunch! My sister has one!
Janet Hill contacted me shortly after I contacted them about my delema. When I later received the phone call from her it definitely made sense to me. I worked in investment banking for a few years. It just made sense when I spoke to her. Always contact the company before you make any rash judgments. Wow! Now I know why you get smarter with age!
This is an update:
Fed Ex just came to my door. 14 hours after talking to Janet Hill I received a $50 Visa Gift Card! I figure that pays for the taxi and my time away from true income sources.  That's the power of online presence. Life insurance stays where it is and all is right with the world.

Get Hired

Get hired

I’ve been hunting for a job for two and a half years. I’ve also been gaining some income working online. I’ve been combing sites like jobs in our metropolitan news papers, monster, craigslist, our states own employment site and others. I’ve gotten a few interviews and was a close runner on at least one job. I still haven’t found a job. I’ve gleaned a bunch of information about being unemployed however. I’ve learned I do not count as unemployed because I’ve exhausted my unemployment. I’ve learned what it takes to even hope to find employment. Here is some of my findings!

1. You have an insured, reliable car and a driver’s license. This means you are willing to use your car for the job and are willing to put hundreds of miles on it in a week. All for about $10 an hour.

2. You are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. You will be required to work every weekend and most holidays.

3. You have a 4 year degree and willing to take a $10 an hour job.

4. You are between the ages of 21 and 25.

5. You do not have children.

6. You have a Series 6 and a Series 7 license. (If you don’t know what these are they are necessary for working in insurance and lending.)

7. You’ve managed to retain your job through the recession.

Others will tell you, don’t lose hope.  There is help out there. I’ve done that already. I had the same findings. I spoke to people in my position at our center for all things employment in our state. We all found these requirements would get us employment.

If you have 1 and 3 you can still find it easier to find a job but maybe not. If you are older than 25 and have children at home, lie. You are 23 with no children.

If you have 3 and 6 you have a job already. Why are you reading this?

American Income Life employment bait and switch

I think I've become the seeker of every kind of scam out there. Paypal scams, craigslist scams, employment scams and work at home opportunity scams. I just ran into my second bait and switch employment scam, well actually my third. They've gotten really good at this so seeing as I am in control of just about everything in my website I'm going to tell you ab out the one I barely lived through today. I will name names as well!

Customer Service Positions - Hiring Now (Brooklyn Park, MN)

We are looking for motivated individuals who want to work smarter not harder. We are hiring for several positions that require excellent customer service skills. If you are interested in a new career, we are scheduling interviews this week. If you are looking for sucess we can provide you with the tools to get there. Please send your resume.

• Location: Brooklyn Park, MN
• Compensation: DOQ
• Principals only. Recruiters, please don't contact this job poster.
• Please, no phone calls about this job!
• Please do not contact job poster about other services, products or commercial interests.

 I emailed my resume' to them and told them the location was very convenient for me among other things.
Mary Meinert called me a day later and scheduled an interview for this "customer service" job with me the following day. She said I should bring a copy of my resume', two professional references and that the dress was business professional. This morning I went to that "interview" and several strange things happened alerting me to the fact it wasn't customer service at all.
Arriving at 10:39am, one minute before the scheduled start time at 8557 Wyoming Ave N Brooklyn Park MN 55449 I was asked to fill out their employment application. It consisted of several questions not even filling one page. Mary brought me to her office and asked about 10 questions. She swiftly shook my hand and said congratulations. I will just have you go next door and fill out a personality profile.
One other person was sitting there filling out hers. They had never asked me for my resume' and never gave me the job description. The one putting on the sales presentation said we should hold our questions until the very end. I asked anyway. "Is this a sales job where we get in our cars and drive all over the metro area?" She said "Yes". I followed with "I'm out" and got up and left the building.
The biggest problem with this is that conflicted with things I have to do for my autistic son! But I squeezed it in any way. It started pouring rain as soon as I had to leave and it got worse from there on in. I spend about $30 just for this wild goose chase.
I hope this gives you the "heads up" you need not to get caught in the same situation!

Scam detection

Making money on line without scams

For this post I want to include as much information as possible and get it right for you. The newest opportunity I ran into is ZNZ One. Before I look at it and possibly waste my time I started the research for the possibility it is actually a scam. Even then I have to be careful that it actually is a scam. You can find talk on line about an opportunity is a scam, however it is not. These people have another motivation for personal reasons to give an opportunity a bad name. This is what I run into all the time. Plus some other situations that put up yellow lights for me.

1. Some people will build a website for their opportunity that pops up with these key words: Is XXX opportunity a scam? It will offer a short statement that does a partial job of bashing the opportunity and says that instead, you should join their opportunity. To top it off there is a convenient link provided to jump over to their site. I chalk this one up to personal motivation and not providing any evidence that what they say is true. I will not join the program that is this deceitful. It is an age old truth; one misrepresentation spells only more in the future.

2. Disgruntled members are known to lash back at the program that discontinued their relationship. Honest, paying opportunities will discontinue any person or entity for using bots, hacking and creating spam. They in turn bash the program with anger and aggression. A little more research will expose their motivation. If there’s only one or two people bashing the program it is not necessarily a scam. There’s not enough proof. You already know people lie on line by giving false hope and using fear.

3. When your search using this scam question turns up page after page filled with sales websites with links leading you straight to the program, leaving no room for anyone to say anything derogatory. While this does not necessarily mean it’s a scam, I won’t automatically ignore it, but I do proceed with caution.

To eliminate as much as possible the chance of wasting my time I will look up the page ownership. I also find out details like how long it’s been around and what the possibly abbreviated company name refers to.

"Free" information for earning money online

I went in to a site based on the fact a website I trust referred me there. The web site believed the information was truly free just because it said so. Just reading the landing page made me get out of there and never go back. The very first thing that hit me was they were going to show me how to make money online no matter what. I'd make money when my back was turned if I followed the step by step instructions. It went on and on about starting earning money right away with the first ebook. I would like it so much I would order the next one and make even more money without doing much at all. The book would convince me to like the program so much I would order more books. Does this sound familiar? But what put the last nail in its coffin at least for me was the $27 I'd have to cough up to get the introductory ebook. It is a $200 value that used to be found in bookstores. It sold so well they couldn't keep up with the demand and had to start selling it in ebook form. They knocked the price down several times to finally the $27 for a limited time only. I found this only by scrolling to the bottom. I went to double check the reference point to make sure they said free. They did so I was confused. Then I read that if I'm not completely satisfied with my $27 purchase before 30 days were up they would refund my money. The website said it was so sure I would like the information and I would make at least $27 by that time so I would not want the refund but rather buy more of their ebooks to give me more ways to make money. So the refund offer is what they include in the word "free"!

This is a scam boys and girls and it goes like this- You buy their ebook which just tells you all the wonderful things the next ebook is going to tell you. It is intended to get you excited about earning decent money online and its so easy anyone can do it. They do not have a system for you. Their system is selling ebooks. I read a review of one of these "systems". This guy tested out what they were doing and ended up paying $500-$100 per book only to find out at the end of the 5th book all he read about is what the next book was going to tell him always promising the next book has the information he's looking for. He could have bought 7 more but he did the research and figured it was time to stop.

These blood suckers are using hope, wishful thinking and the recession to scam anyone they can. How can they get by with it? Because they find just enough people to sign on that many just forget about asking for the refund, then there are the "researchers" who spend their money. Then  there are the people who are broke hopefuls who need to make money.
I personally can't stand them and would like to shut them down. Unfortunately the only thing I can do is try to educate people before its too late!

Young Work At Home Moms

Hi everyone! I've had only three days to work online this week and one of those days I spent in travel so it was still impossible. I know, poor, pitiful me. At any rate I never stopped thinking about this blog because I have run into this great resource to help us all stay safe online and gives ideas how to make more money online. It's called Young Work At Home Moms. I ran into it while doing the scam search for ad placers network.
Don't let the name fool you! Although the owner of the website is a young working mom and she designed a web site to attract young working moms the contributors to the web site are not all young working moms. I am one of those contributors now and I'm 54 with grown children. Not only do we discuss scams we discuss how we make our online income. There are no secrets and will spell out our different ways to make money. While some won't waist their time with Clixsense I find it a great place to go when I get writers block. I go in there at least twice a day when I want another cup of coffee. At any rate in this site you won't find anything to spend money on. It's just everyone sharing their online experience with everyone else. Check it out!
