Work at Home Millionares

One night when I was watching TV, I watched a paid program about working at home.

They said, "Buy these books!! You can be the next millionare!!!".

What a scam...
Well, they kept reducing the price as they approached the end of the show, and talking about the wonderful life of millionares.
But, I watched the "work at home scams" program the same day and the same channel on 10 connects.

If, if there is an easy way to be a millionare, why does 10 connects news warn people about work at home scammers?

Please don't waste your time and money.

It looks like you can earn money over the Internet while you are sleeping and you can also have a big dream house by the beach.

I can't stand to watch those scams.

THEY earn money over the Internet, not you.

Sometimes, they say there's a 100% money back guarantee if you are not satisfied!!
But, if you order those, be careful before you open the box.

In the policy or whatever they tell you to read before you open the package, read it carefully.
I had a purchase that said that if I sent it back without opening the package, I'd get a 100% money back. However, if I opened it, they only give you back half of the price!

Nobody can be a millionare so easily, but you can have a nice house and great life by being honest and working hard.

To Help Promote an Adult Site/Product...

It is hard to get a job marketing sexual/adult sites and products.

There are a lot of catches when posting ads on craigslist because of the restrictions CL has for adult content.

But, a lot of people owning or operating adult sites need workers to help in marketing.

They ether want you to make their site look good or advertise their products or many other different things.

Some of the jobs require you to work at night even though its through the Internet.
You might want to think about all the catches before you decide to work!

To Bid Successfully on Projects!

When you bid on a job, you can send a private massage to the employer.

You also are able to make a comment to them, but your PM(posted message) is important, so make sure to make it a good one!
Make sure to briefly highlight your experience as well as a realistic and competitive time that you can finish the project. If you are just starting out, its good to bid kind of low.

***Comment***

You write about your general information in the comment; for example, how you are good at it, or how you have a lot of experience for the job, etc.
**A good comment is short and catchy! --> Why? --> Because, most employers want to know the details and they will contact you (hopefully) about the job and you can close the deal!

***PM***

-If you have experience for the job, of course, you can write about it. When you write about the job history, it is good to include the evidence: links, web sites, documents, etc.

-If you don't have experience for the job, you need to persuade the employee. (But don't mention that you have not done it yet!!!)
---> For example, if you are going to be an ad poster, make ads on Craigslist, Kijiji, Backpage, or whatever sites the employer wants to post to. And include those ads' links in the PM. It is good to make over 3 ads so that the employer can see that ads are not flagged or ghosted.

And, here is the thing...

You will realize that many people from overseas bid very cheaply. (You can tell by their comments that they are not fluent in English.)
That is their skill in bidding:They are not native English speakers, but they can work cheaply.

Now, you don't want to work cheaply, so strongly point out your ability to 'connect' with Americans or whomever, because that is most likely who the advertiser is marketing to!

Many employers (60%) only care about how cheap you bid, but 40% of them do care.
They don't want any language problems when posting the ads and they don't want other communication problems when giving directions.
So, I always make sure to emphasize that I'm a native English speaker!

Dropshipper

You can be a dropshipper.

You advertise the products, and when customers order your products, you simply contact the company you work with and they ship the products directly to the customer.

So, what you have to do is:
1. Pick the products you want to sell.
2. Advertise them on the internet.
*You can set the price. The company already set the cost price of the item, so anything more than that price is really up to you.
3. Collect the money from customer.
4. Contact the company.

For the shipping, you don't need to do anything.

Some of the companies do not require a fee to start.
But, of course, to sell the product is not so easy.

I haven't tried it myself yet, but I know a guy doing the dropshipping.
He advertised a DVD on Craigslist, and was selling a lot.
I think if you chose a good product, it might be easy but if not, you might be wasting your time.
Also, many prospects don't want to buy anthing (especially on CL) that is not from a local vendor, so you have to get past that somehow.

Good luck!

TranslatorsCafé.com

If you are bilingual or have a good knowledge of other languages, a translators' job might be good for you.

TranslatorsCafé.com is here.

TranslatorsCafé.com has many language translation job listings.
You can bid on the posts and if you are chosen, the employer gives you directions on how to complete the job.

I did it before, and I was scammed.
The person said, please translate this document and I'll check it and send the money.
I sent her the completed document, and she never got back to me.

Whenever somebody says its a trial but wants you to send a full document, you need to be careful.

You might end up doing the work they need for free!

Craigslist Ads Poster

A lot of companies are looking for posters for Craigslist ads.
Although this is forbidden by the craigslist terms of service, craigslist is such an awesome marketing tool, companies have hired outsiders on a per-ad basis to post them.

This is how it works:

1. Find a company or individual through whatever means (GetAfreelancer.com or oDesk is good) that wants ads posted. They pay between .10 to .50 per ad depending on the type of ad and what category the company wants it posted in.

2. Get the ad material and list of cities/categories from the employing company.

3. Start posting the ads.

4. It seems simple at first, but as you do more ads and post in different categories it becomes more difficult.

You get problems like flagging(when another user flags your ad for some reason) or ghosting (when you post the ad but it never appears on CL). More about that later and ways to get around it.

5. You submit a spreadsheet with the links to your ads to the employer, who usually pays through paypal.

*Note: this is the simple gist of it, there can be more problems and other ways to go about it:There is software to aid in ad posting (ezadposter etc.)

There are malicious other users who want to flag you just because you're trying to make some money. You will probably have to get the phone-verified accounts which verify each CL account to a phone number (there is a maximum number of ads you can post with each account).

Craigslist is changing the system constantly, so you have to be able to manage your strategy.

I never done it before, but I could manage it.
It's good to try!
Good luck!

Ripoff Report

Ripoff Report is also a good source to evaluate the sites.

Ripoff Report Site is here.

People who had trouble with companies posted their opinions there.
It's always good to know about the company before you'll start working.

Do not be the victim of scammers!!

Better Business Bureau

When I search a job and find one, I always go to BBB.com.

BBB.org is here.

You can find any complaints regarding the company in question.

A lot of companies have complaints but the Better Business Bureau (BBB) also shows the steps taken or other actions taken by the companies to correct any wrongs.
You can see for yourself if the company seems fair or not.

oDesk.com

I am actually not sure about this site.
I heard that this site is good.

oDesk.com is here.

It seems like the same as GetAFreelancer.com.

But what is good about this site is that the job seeker can take a test from them for free, and post the score as evidence!

About oDesk Test → http://www.odesk.com/tests

You can retake the test also, so, if you get a good score, the odds of you landing a job are higher!!

Take the test as many times as you like.
oDesk provides many different type of tests.
You can choose which different category to be tested in.

GetAFreelancer.com

This site has a lot of jobs!!

GetAFreelancer.com is here.

I worked couples of the jobs they provided for a year.

The contracters themselves list their job features.

When you find some jobs you want, you bid on them, and if the contracters like your job history or bid, they contact you directly.

You don't need to pay GetAFreelancer to start choosing jobs, however when you were chosen for a job, you need to pay about $20 to GetAFreelancer.

BUT, beware!!

In the lists, sometimes there are scams!!
They let you work, and never pay!

For example, I had a guy he asked me to post some ads for 3 days for free.
If I did it perfectly, he pays after those days.
He never got back to me after the job is done.
He acted like he wants to sell his car, but he actually wanted to post his ebay sites.

Other than that, they provide many jobs listings.

It's free to join and free to bid.

I think it's a good site!

GenuineJobs.com

Genuinejobs.com provides many job listings.

GenuineJobs.com is here.

Almost all of them are for working at home.

They do require different skills, like web design, programming, virtual assistants, that sort of thing.
I have never seen one for data entry, though.

It's free to join.

They also provide a free service that sends you up-to-date job emails.It's kind of annoying to get spam from the companies, but they don't send that many emails. Maybe twice a month...

Paydotcom.com

I found "Paydotcom" through "Process at Home".

Paydotcom.com is here.

You can choose from many different products, and advertise them on other sites.

It looks simple, but there is a catch.

You won't get paid until prospects or customers click your ads AND buy the products.
There are many sites that give you free places to put your ads.
I tried those, but those sites are too minor, so of course, nobody sees the ads.
If you want to put your ads on major sites, you really have to pay for it.

It is actually difficult.

This is through paydotcom.
They don't give you the ads, they give you links of the products.
You can post just links or make them into ads.

Once you get paid and know how to do it, it might be good for you.
But I made no money through them...

365jobs4u *** A Big SCAM!! ***

As everyone says, "365jobs4u" is a big scam.

I am telling you because I was one of the people that actually tried to work it.
The required fee is very cheap, I paid about $6 to start.(NONREFUNDABLE!!)

You have many choices of work to do such as copy&paste, traditional data entry, grobal data entry, etc.

I chose traditional data entry.

They sent me a bunch of pdfs.
What I needed to do was to type the pdf articles into Word documents.
They said that I had to complete them in a week.

I mentioned a bunch...I forgot how many they were...but it was a lot!!!

Even if you are a really good&fast typist, you need to work your ass off!

So, I started.
I had no time to think about if this company will cheat me for the $6...

I kept doing it for 3 days, and my boyfriend started to doubt about this company.

Because, the article that I was typing had no meaning.
They look like they were taken from many articles and pasted together.

He checked the company out on the internet, and found out that this company is a complete scam.

I just spent time for nothing!

I hope nobody will be scammed by them again.

My Data Team

You can find many good comments about "My Data Team".

My-Data-Team is here.

You need to pay about $49.95 to join.

I tried it.

I don't know if it is really good or not...

You can get a lot of information from them about on-line earning.
I found many sites which provide real on-line jobs, but I also found a big scam from the site they recommended.

Process at Home

The first time I tried a work at home opportunity, I visited "Process at Home".
I paid about $200 for it.
They guarantee a 100% refund whenever you want to quit.

I tried it, but it was a bunch of E-books.
I felt that I paid $200 just for E-books.

I got nothing from the site, however you can try it, because their refund policy is good.

I ended up quitting, and I got all my money back.
So, it's not bad if you want to try it.

Scams...

First, I tried to find many companies that look legitimate.
I didn't know that there are so many scams!!

They ask you for money, which some of them say is refundable if you didn't like it, or nonrefundable.

I tried both.

What I want to say is, beware!!!

Every company looks really legitimate, but a lot of them are complete scams.

Wednesday, May 13, 2009

To find the legitimate company...

I tried a couple of the so called "Work at Home"companies.
Some of them are legitimate, but a lot of them are scams.

I want to share information about them with you.
