"Don't Get Scammed Again... Opportunity Expose'
Hello, If you go out on the wild wild web and do a simple search for a home business or work-from-home opportunity I guarantee you will run across the same business over and over again. It takes on many forms and hides behind multiple aliases. Right now I want to take you within the bowels of the mother of all online 'scams.' The one, the only Data Entry. Like I said there are many companies that run the similar operation and I'll clue you in to a few of them, but for now lets dissect the largest of the bunch, Data Entry. I'm not including the exact URL of any specific website for a simple reason, I want to help you, but I don't want to get sued. It's really quite ingenious what these guys do. See, they put ads out on the web saying things like "Home Typists Needed," "Make $500 to $1000 Per Week," or "Easy at Home Work" and a wide variety of ads like that. You can find them all over Google, Yahoo, and every other search engine out there. So, you are looking for an opportunity to work from home right? You find one of these ads and click on it. Shazam!! You are suddely taken to a page that explains how you can make thousands upon thousands of dollars weekly simply by entering small 3 or 4 line ads in the search engines like Google and Yahoo. That's all you have to do! Just enter these little ads just like they tell you and instantly you'll be rolling in the dough! Amazing, right!!? Wrong... Here's the way it works. Oh, by the way, I have to thank my friend and subscriber, Debbie, for helping me research these guys, she was an unfortunate victim of this scam and came to me for help. Back to business. For around $49 - $99 you sign up with the program in hopes of making thousands. You are instantly taken to a hideous page explaining your new "job" to you. Which is as follows: Your job is to go join affiliate programs through Clickbank. The page explains which Clickbank programs to join. Interestingly enough, many of the programs they suggest are the exact programs that I warn people against. Moving on, you join the Clickbank programs and are then instructed how and where to start typing your little ads. You are directed to Google and Yahoo to join their Pay-Per-Click advertising networks and start typing as many ads as your fingers can handle every day. Here's where it gets interesting. Pay-per-click marketing is a wonderful way to advertise online and I personally use it daily in my business, but I also spend several hundred dollars a day doing it. Which is fine by me since I've become somewhat of an expert spent years learning how to win the Pay-Per-Click game. This is not the case with most. If you were to follow the instructions given inside the Data Entry member's area you would spend several hundred dollars a day and be lucky to make fifty bucks a day back. Meaning, if you spent $200 and made $50 you would be losing $150 a day, not fun. If you are interested in utilizing Pay-Per-Click advertising in your business there is only one resource I use and suggest you use and that's Perry Marshall's Definitive Guide to Google Adwords. You can sign up for his free five day e-course here. To add insult to injury the folks who head up these operations are completely unwilling to give any assistance to their customers and just send back snide responses to questions such as "this is easy" and "don't give up" then they never actually answer your question. Then these guys have the gall to try and upsell you to another crap product for $149 - $250 they offer which turns out to be just another bunch of junk. And the final straw comes in when you get fed up with their shenanigans and request a refund. Guess what happens? Yep, you guessed it, they completely ignore you and pretend you never existed. Good luck getting that refund, it's nearly impossible. Even though they claim to have a guarantee it's just another false claim to boost their sales. For the record, I'm not saying that online marketing is something you should avoid. I love it and it's the reason I can sit on my couch and write this at 3:00pm on a Monday afternoon. Internet marketing is the best way in the world to make a living if you ask me. That being said, you have to get your information from the right places and then put in the work to get good at anything, marketing included and Data Entry is NOT a place for you to go for that education. There are several programs out there that use this same "business" model to siphon money from unsuspecting victims and I don't know all of the names. But, to protect yourself if you see any programs that offer "home typist" or "data entry" jobs and claim that all you have to do is type ads, please be extremely cautious before purchasing and make an educated decision. As always this is my opinion based on my extensive research, experience and independent conclusions and is not meant to be legal or business advice. Until next time,
P.S. If you haven't taken a gander at the small list of programs that actually did pass my grueling sniff-test I suggest you hop on over right now and check them out... The Few Legitimate Online Businesses
