“Make thousands of dollars a month working part-time in your pajamas!”
“Stay-at-home mom makes six thousand dollars a month on her computer!”
“College student buys home with money earned working from home!”
Of course these sound familiar. We’ve all read claims like these and more, and we’ve all been tempted from time to time to see if there is any validity to them. Can a person really make thousands of dollars a month doing something simple from his computer?
Make Money at Home Scams
The truth is, yes, you can make good money working from your home, by creating a viable business with great time and effort.
But not by placing Google ads on someone’s website. Not by making jewelry for some unknown company. Not by buying some money master’s ‘secrets’. Not by filling out forms online.
Most work from home scams are out to make money in two ways only - by roping you in and getting you to pay a start-up cost, or by getting you to purchase a so-called amazing CD and book collection guaranteed to help you start making $5000 your first month.
Some get rich from home scams make their money by the hard work you do, without paying much in return. Filling out forms online, for instance, or clicking ads with a company like ClixSense.com requires you to be chained to your computer for hours on end just to make a few dollars. ClixSense.com even restricts how many ads you can click on, unless you want to pay for a premium membership. That’s just $10, which could be the equivalent of a full month’s pay.
By the way, why would anyone want to pay you to click on an ad? Because the internet is fueled by the money of online shopping. If I write a blog, I make money by letting Google place ads on my page, because Google will pay me for each time one of my readers clicks on an ad. They pay even more if a reader buys something from an ad. So I, the blog writer, hire a slew of people to click on my ads - and pay them a cent per click.
Does this sound like getting wealthy from home to you? No. It’s a scam.
