Reliable ways of making money online

“When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him: ‘Whose?’” Don Marquis

There is only one thing that will make you cash online: Your hard work. Concentrating that hard work is the trick to riches.

Everyday people can make money through the internet in three major ways: 1. Affiliate marketing, 2. Advertisments, 3. selling products of services. When it comes down to it, there are the only three sure-fire ways.

As I said in earlier posts, the first thing one should be concerned about when on the internet is safety--especially when it comes to paying out money for a service that quite possibly will not be rendered. Remember, there is no such thing as a get rich scheme! Well, I take that back, there is no such thing as an ETHICAL get rich scheme!

Why Surveys don't pay off.

Sorry about not being able to post in a very long time.

Making money online is definitely not simple. There are many ways to do so if you’re a computer guru—which leaves not many options for everyday people.

After these few months of research and playing around on the internet, I have come to a few solid conclusions that totally change the way I view the internet.

Until now, I have concentrated primarily on online surveys as a way to generate spending money. This, however, is an extremely inefficient way making money. Those who have tried to go down that road know precisely what I’m talking about. One would be lucky to get five $2 surveys a day. Of those five, one would be lucky to qualify for two surveys. You would spend about 1 hour on the qualifying questions alone. You would waste that hour only to be turned down by three of the surveys, taking another hour to two hours on the two surveys you did qualify for. This would net you, on average, $4 for 2 to 3 hours of work. In other words, you would net $1.34 an hour. Not precisely the most efficient way to make some cash.

This is coming completely from a perspective of making cold hard cash. Most people do surveys to have fun. A lot of surveys are, indeed, quite fun to take part in. However, as a way of generating cash, surveys are unreliable.

Interesting opportunities

This past week of research has come up with some very interesting (and by interesting i really mean INTERESTING) ways of making money online. Both of these are currently unverified. One will remain unverified till someone-- anyone-- i know personally sells them what they want and gets paid for it. The other will take a few months for me to actually verify since i don't really want to put down the 70 dollar investment without being 100% absolutely certain that it isn't a scam.

The first site i would never consider trying myself can be found at the thehairtrader.com link in the unverified money making opportunities section to your right. You make money doing exactly what the site's name says you do. You sell your hair. As nasty and demeaning as that sounds, there are instances, as you will see on the site, where people have made a substantial amount of cash (over 2000 dollars in one instance). After all my research poking around through blogs, reviews, etc. they happen to seem pretty legitimate. An extra 2000 dollars ever 10 months or so? Sounds like a risk worth taking. After all, it's only hair!

The second site will be covered in a later post since i'm actually kind of interested in verifying it.

Susupicious radio advertising: Freedom47.com of Premier Team Int. Inc.

When driving home today I heard a commercial for a work at home program on the radio. My first thought was "Hey, they're advertising this on the radio. I should check it out!" Well I did. And what I discovered was rather shocking. BBB gave them a score of an "F". The reviews coming up about the company were even more shocking and nearly ALL negative.

The reviews about this site all have the same gist. This company, after receiving a free informational package (which is the only free thing you will get from them), charges a hefty 20 dollars a month for membership! They simply wish to make money.

It's strange how these scam type sites are being advertised through the general public. Whats worse is how people, myself included, fall for them. It's human nature to be trusting of others. Sadly, in the online business world, that doesn't work. An excellent review on the product this company offers can be found here.

Hi I have been a PTI member for over a year now and I would advise you to move carefully. They advertise it as an income opportunity, and sometimes as a job which it is not (if you were not recruited this way, you will need to be ok with decieving others in this manner to join your team). You will need to invest anywhere from $180- $299 just to start, plus $19.99/mo for pti membership, plus $17/mo for a toll free number, plus hundreds more dollars in internet lead and even more for newspaper ads and fliers, etc, etc, etc. It goes on and on. You will also be pressured to achieve (aka: purchase) the supervisor level- cost: $2500- $3000 depending. They encourage this very strongly and while they dont openly say you should, most testimonials say they used a credit card, loan or sold possessions to do this. After one year I was considered a "Success" I sold over $10,000 in product and got to be "earning" over $1500 per month. By the way my cost of business with advertising was about $2000 per month. I ended the year with no savings and an $1900 credit card bill. I was told to tell people that I profited $1500 per month and not to mention the cost because it was "my choice what I spent my profits on". So that is the scoop. Even if you are okay with spending a large amount of money and working a lot of hours away from family for no pay, you also have to be okay with duping other hopeful, poor people into doing the same thing. They also encourage you to do other questionable things like put fliers on atms, pop machines, etc, which is illegal (private property) and to ignore when people threaten to call the police on you. The products that we sell are good, but it's hard to find clientel and often times it doesnt work and people want their money back. In that case you end up taking a huge loss (someone buys a program for $200, you pay $150 to the company and keep $50, then they want their money back and return the containers to you. You are then responsible to give them $200 from your own pocket plus pay to ship the product containers back to Herbalife and the company then sends you new product, which you can resell, but that in turn costs more money in advertising and shipping and time just to break even at that point. I hope that answers your questions and that you proceed with all the info. Good job looking into it ahead of time! I wish I would have.
