The Home Business Experiment Review

The Home Business Experiment Review

There is only question on the mind of everyone who has ever looked at the internet to make money, "can I really make money online, working from home on my computer fast, easy, and legally?"

There are two schools of thought. One side says, "Look around, there are examples everywhere..."

- Terry Dean was delivering pizzas when he started making money online.

- Jason Cox was still in high school.

- Russell Brunson was starting his multi-million dollar empire from his dorm room.

Then there are the nay-sayers, "You have to have a lot of money, you have to have a lot of time, you have to have a lot of experience, etc. Most opportunities online are scams."

And they present their own examples...

- Stuffing envelope opportunities

- A prominent internet marketer being investigated by the FTC

-Numerous ripoff reports, reviews, and blogs telling their horror stories

There is so much confusion in the market that it hard to separate fact from fiction. In steps, the Home Business Experiment.

It claims that "if you are willing to invest an hour a day, and $100 a month, you will start earning a minimum of $5,000 a month in 90 days or less guaranteed!"

A claim like that is sure to set off scam meters, and hype alerts. But, there are some interesting points of note that may make it worth at least exploring.

1. It is a 90 day challenge competition where someone is going to win $25,000.

2. There is a fast action bonus for the first 498 people. A 4 day 3 night cruise to the Bahamas for two for free. Even though it does require a refundable deposit of $225.

3. The investment is really intriguing. The enrollment fee is not on the blog, but if you examine only the monthly investment being $300 for 90 days of specific action steps, it is less than most major home study courses on the market. As long as the enrollment investment is under a $100, then you are getting a great value, and the $5,000 a month wouldn't be bad either.

Make Money Online Scams

Make Money Online Scams

I wanted call this article "Beware of make money online scam sites" or "The reviewer's scam", but I couldn't decide on anything catchy and relevant when this issue is so important.

You see it everywhere, advertisers think they are being clever with there is "Product XYZ Scam?" or there "Business Owner Scam?", and then you have the phony "review" sites that bash everyone else's product, or say only a few good things, only to say "but, of all our reviews product abc stands out head above the shoulders above the rest".

Which would be absolutely fine, if the recommended products didn't use the same ideas and concepts of the people they were bashing.

It is really horrible the way the internet is playing on people's fears, especially by people who claim to be authorities, or say their interest is to educate people.

Let me, say this, I am a marketer that is what I do.

But, I only believe in marketing products that will solve the needs of this people using them.

Several, not all, reviewers don't share that philosophy. So, to be successful you must develop your own philosophy. Take responsibility for your own wealth and well being.

Do your own due diligence when looking at opportunities.

You wouldn't be worried about make money scams, if you weren't trying to better your life by making more money. Don't let anyone rob you of that dream "scammer" or "reviewer".

Here is a few quick thoughts on avoiding real scams:

- Ask for a phone number or call in time

A lot of single people operations are in existence, so you should be reasonable about asking to call. But, I don't know anybody that is trying to run a legitimate business wouldn't set up call times.

- Avoid non-refundable opportunities until you can afford to spare the money

- Give it the have I ever seen or heard test...

"Have I ever seen or heard of someone legally doing what ever the claim is that is being made?"

"Make a million dollars overnight, starting from scratch, with no money, no list, no product, and no..." - Scam

"Ground floor opportunity with breakthrough technology destined to revolutionize xyz industry, unlimited income opportunity. Millionaires will be made!" - Not necessarily need more information.

The most powerful words of someone trying to avoid scams, and become profitable are "not necessarily, I need more information."

Final Thought: Where would you shop, eat, or go to the movies, if you made decisions based on other people's negative opinions, or the number of complaints it received? Someone else's trash, could be your treasure.

Are There Any Legitimate Ways to Make Fast Easy Money?

Are There Any Legitimate Ways to Make Fast Easy Money?

I see this question over and over again. Are there any real legitimate ways to make fast easy money?

And the short answer is yes.

But, unfortunately they won't work for the average person.

Why?

Because most people don't want fast and easy like they think they do.

They want fairy tales. They want fast, easy, free, no involved, no knowledge required, and no involvement, and money come pouring into their bank accounts.

But, no one is going to give you money for nothing. You have to bring something to the table. Then you have to learn when something is legitimate.

I recently read of a marketer, who I highly respect, having to close down a service, after many years of running due to unforeseen circumstances, did that mean all of the new affiliates that didn't get a chance to make any money got scammed? All the years who was running the service, all the money he paid out to affiliates, does the fact he closed down mean he didn't offer a legitimate opportunity?

There are alot of legitimate opportunities that stop working for whatever reason, or that won't work for you. And the first thing people say when something doesn't work is that it's somebody else's fault, and scream scam.

The fastest and easiest ways to make money most people won't try because someone else screamed scam. It's like the boy who cried wolf causing everyone in the town to come running out.

Finally, the fastest and easiest ways to make money are not going to be free. Someone has to put the time in to set up the system that allows for you to get paid. If your not going to use your time (which would make it fast), you will have to pay some to do it for you.

The question isn't whether or not their are legitimate fast easy ways to make money, but whether or not you will take advantage of them.
