Broadcast #9 - Programs That Sound Great, But Really Aren't

Do me a favor. Go to google.com and type in "work at home job". You've just opened the flood gates for scams. About two years ago, I did just that, and I thought I was smart enough to recognize a potential ripoff. Boy, was I wrong! These places have gotten very smart. Their writing techniques are so advanced, you'd think they hired a writer with charisma as their marketing tool.

Now do me another favor. Go to www.3500weekly.com. This is Jean. She apparently makes TONS of money doing business with Adsense, Adwords, and Clickbank. Did I buy into this program 2 years ago? Yes I did. Did I make some money? No. Why? Because Jean fails to mention the fact that you have to make your own website, market it, and develop your own e-book. Now let's reverse, on www.3500weekly.com, aren't you paying for HER ebook? Wasn't there an old method a long time ago before the internet even existed that said something about passing a dollar and getting back two dollars? That's pretty much what it is. It's a pyramid scheme but in internet fashion it's hiding by adding extensive literature to "WOW" you.

Here's another site to stay away from: www.eteam2000.com. Yes I fell for this one too. *shaking head*. This is the one I mentioned in a previous post having to do with Herbal Life and how they bugged the hell outta me to buy into their "introductory" money making program. Beware. Oh and by the way, if it's not www.eteam2000.com, it'll be some other website that works with Herbal Life and built their own "empire". Bullshit.

How about Ebay? Can you make money off Ebay? Yes, you can....if you had your own product. Ever heard of www.getestore.com? Yes I fell victim to them too. At first it seems like yes, you can make money. They do give you your own store that's setup and you don't have to store anything....but, how do you market that store? You think it's free to market? It's not. Another method of making money using "your store" is by selling the products from "your store" on ebay. Sounds good right? Did you know that the majority of the products on www.getestore.com are not even brand name? Or the fact that if they are, they're refurbished items? Or the fact that there are tons of other people on ebay selling those same products, so pretty much you're competing to get a customer. What if your products don't sell? Ebay has gotten very greedy that their selling fees are ridiculous. If you were selling 20 products on Ebay and none of them sold, guess what? You have to pay the listing fee that could range from $1.00-$10.00 for EACH product.

BEWARE OF ALL THESE SCAMS.

Broadcast #8 - Reminder & Deal Barbie

The best way to approach a new idea of making money, is by doing extensive research. If you find a company or program that sounds too good to be true, it probably is. It's very hard to believe that you can make between $50 -$100 per survey when you join certain sites like the ones I listed yesterday as being completely bogus. It's more believable to throw out a number such as $0.40 - $21.00 a survey.

I would like to introduce you to a website called "Deal Barbie Pays". I've mentioned this website on previous posts but never really gave any details about it. This website is a bit on the girly side, I'm mostly saying that because of the in your face pink background. But it is very user friendly which is always a plus. A method most of these websites use to get new members is by creating contests for their current members. The contests usually consist of the following: Whoever makes the most money between 'now and then', gets a bonus of $50. That's just an example. Deal Barbie Pays actually had a contest on their site that consisted of the amount of money you earned throughout 2006. The winner ended up getting $1000. Pretty cool huh?
Unfortunetely, I wasn't a part of Deal Barbie Pays during that year so I crapped out. : (

As a "welcome", Deal Barbie Pays, adds $3.00 into your balance just for signing up. They have 3 referral levels beginning at 15%. Like all the other sites I recommend, they have a very friendly forum that addresses any questions, comments, or concerns you may have and are too shy to ask. The minimum to withdraw from your balance is $20.00 and their payment methods are endless. You could either have it dumped into your paypal account, get a gift card to like Nordstroms or some other store of your choice, or have a check sent out to your home.

If you're interested in checking out their site, click on their name, Deal Barbie Pays, and join. Remember, I only recommend non-upfront fee sites, and with a $3.00 bonus, how could you really lose?
