BEWARE! Fake Google Cash, Home Job Placement and Other Work at Home Scams

Fake News Pages Can Trap Unwitting Work at Home Seekers into a Hefty Sign up Fee or Worse, Ever Renewing Monthly Subscriptions

These work at home sites are presenting themselves as independent news sources when they are everything but.

I respect the right of a business owner to use legitimate strategies to make their sites more trustworthy – getting listed in the Better Business Bureau, having eTrust seals on their pages, and the like, but creating false news sites to lure unwitting customers in, goes WAYYY beyond the acceptable.

I don’t like labelling any business a scam – IF it isn’t blatantly obvious – because I believe the word ’scam’ is too loosely used online. Many will label an opportunity a scam just because they haven’t made money with it – in spite of the fact that countless others have.

Some of these so called scam sites don’t check too much into the facts, before they jump to conclusions.

Anyway, I digress…

I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM ON CALLING THIS A SCAM AND ANY SITES LIKE THEM!

It’s sites like these false news sites, that give genuine online business owners like myself a bad name and make it all the more difficult to gain trust for our legitimate businesses.

Here’s an article from ABC news reporting on a similar scam:
Work From Home With Google? Not So Fast

By the looks of it these companies try to stay within the advertising laws by publishing disclaimers. If viewers look close enough they’ll see in small print the word ‘Advertisement’ at the top of the page(See image below). The point is that even with their disclaimers and small print, ordinary people are being lured into their opportunity by false advertising.

Their comments are obviously false as there is no link for anyone to leave a comment. The testimonials and check photo are likely to be false too.

Checking Them Out

I looked a little further into this particular scam for ‘Home Jobs Placement’ anyhow.

I went and entered my details into the ‘Search for Work at Home Jobs in Your Area’ form. So I put in the zip 90210 and miraculously there were indeed jobs available for Beverley Hills. What a surprise:-)!

This page look very professional with video, audio, testimonials, everything you’d expect to see on a legitimate site.

I clicked the ’sign up now’ link and was taken to a page to submit my application. I swear if I get rejected, I’ll eat my 40 inch flat screen, one piece at a time;-).

Hooray! I wasn’t rejected. Now on to the good bit! I’m on a page where I’m being asked to submit my payment details AND pay $197 but the good guys over there aren’t gonna take my payment for 3 months, while I check out the program. How nice of them!

OK, time to get out of there. I think I’ll decline to pay the $197.

I did enter my legitimate email address so it will be interesting to see how the follow up via email.

Similar Scams and Avoiding them In the Future

I’ve heard of similar sites where they have you enter your payment details for a free info pack. What most don’t notice in the fine print is that they’ll be charged $50 after a few days have passed and $50 every month after that with no channels to make an easy cancellation.

People taken in by these scams have had to go through banks and credit card companies to stop the payments and try to retrieve their lost cash.

This is a typical, ‘get paid a fortune’, for doing very little, type program. As I have said umpteen times on this site, you WILL NOT get paid much for doing little.

Here’s an article from ABC news on avoiding scamsters:
10 Telltale Signs of a Work-From-Home Scam

There are programs like Cash Crate where you can get paid a few dollars per month for filling out surveys, offers etc. but you are unlikely to ever make a full-time income.

You really need to get away from the idea that you’re gonna get rich quick. IT AINT GONNA HAPPEN UNLESS YOU WIN THE LOTTERY.

The Internet offers you a way to make money – and a lot of it – but realistically you MUST work to build a website, web presence and various marketing strategies.

Until you get and accept this reality you are going to be further susceptible to scamsters like these Fake News gangsters.

Here’s a screenshot of the ‘Home Jobs Placement’ scam in question:

Just a quick update on My World Plus commissions.

I upgraded in My World Plus on 12th September and have received commissions almost every week since then.

Below you can see my current commission total:

I still haven’t received my Global Xchange debit card but when it finally arrives I’ll be able to withdraw these commissions from a Cash machine anywhere worldwide. I’m not planning any trips anytime soon so I’ll be taking the cash out around the corner from my home;-)

A number of my downline have been experiencing great savings on their shopping trips. That’s what makes My World Plus a good choice in an opportunity to promote.

Although the initial set up costs $69.95, the monthly costs are only $19.95. If you can save more than $19.95 per month as countless members are then it’s a no-brainer really to remain as a fully paid up member and pass on your experiences to others.

Every time you bring someone else on board you make $25 instant commission PLUS a monthly residual income from your referrals $19.95 payment. You also make $8 on the referrals of your referrals and commissions on their referrals too.

Check out the video below for a full rundown on the My World Plus opportunity:

My World Plus Video

Don’t listen to the hype about being the first person the world to know about it. This program has been going since 2007. The video must have been created as they launched then. The fact that it’s a couple years old though, is usually a good sign when choosing an opportunity to promote.

1. Setting Up a Web Business is Simple But Not Easy

In all honesty I’ve neglected this blog for the longest time while I focused on other things in my business – mostly my various niche sites.

I added to the post count frequently – mostly with articles(not even written by me) for search engine ranking purposes – but I didn’t pay it or it’s visitors any particular attention. That’s bad!

Now that I am getting enough traffic – not to mention more time – to actually drum up some good activity here I will be putting a lot more time into growing this side of my business and helping people like you – who are serious about legitimate ways to make money online – make a start in that direction. Well, I’ll try my best! You have to make the effort too.

I don’t really know where I’m going with the blogging here though. As I wrote in a recent follow up email, I never really have had a notion of where my business was heading. I took the initial action and things kind of happened from there. It’s the first step that counts. You can’t predetermine the future, only do your best in the day you are actually in.

I’ve seen other blogs that have some SERIOUS activity going on – multiple comments and a great rapport between the readers and site owner. That’s where I want to take this blog. That’s my main goal and that’s also where YOU can help out, by simply leaving your comments on any of the posts that catch your attention.

If you’re up for helping me get this site up and running to make it the best it can be just drop me a note in the comments field below. If I don’t hear from you then I’ll simply have to keep plugging away on my own!

You can also make an active contribution to this blog by subscribing to the RSS and Email links at the top right. That way you will never miss a blog post here.

What’s in it for you? I promise to never BS you about this business – unlike many other BS artists online – and keep you up to date on everything I know about building a successful online business and making money online.

For now – I promise to hit the sack! It’s 2:44am here. I’m off to get some beauty sleep and dream of being a pro blogger.

1. 5 Ways to Make Your Blog a Failure

With a Step By Step Plan, Some Focus and a Little Hard Work You Can Make a Full-Time Income with Google Adsense

Although making money with Google Adsense has not been the main focus of my business, I have made $1000s over the years from dabbbling in this money making opportunity. Today, I still make around $1000 per month from Google Adsense ads on various websites.

It is possible with a little focus and hard work to make a lot more per month. Some marketers are making $100s every day, their main strategy being to set up sites specifically to make money from the advertising provided by Google.

How does Google Adsense work?

A Google Adsense account is free and once approved Google will provide you with an ad code that you can place on your site. The ads work in such a way that they will automatically be matched to the content of your site. So, the ads tend to be targeted to your visitor base and therefore clickthru can be very high.

If you already have an established site then you shouldn’t have any problems getting being approved for an Adsense account. If you site is brand new then you will need to add some quality content to the site before applying to Google for an account.

Below you can see an example how the ads can look.

The best strategy is to define the ad colors to blend in with the your website design and colors. Ad format and colors etc. can be set via your Google Adsense account.

How Much and How Do You Get Paid?

You will get paid anything from a few cents for EVERY click on those ads. My income is paid directly into my bank account here in Ireland every month. You can also opt to be paid via check – the direct deposit option may not be available in your country.

Below you can see a recent screenshot of my Adsense earnings.

Notice the amount is in Pounds Sterling. This is a recent change that Google has made to pay publishers in their own currencies. I’ve blacked out the Clicks and EPM(Earnings per 1000 clicks), as it is against Googles’ terms of service to show these. I guess they don’t want Adsense publishers comparing earnings per click.

Who Can Make Money with Google Adsense?

Basically, anyone with a website with some content on it can make a living from Google Adsense ads. if your site gets enough traffic you could literally make a full-time living from adding some Adsense ads to strategic places on your site.

Google Adsense works better with some types of sites than others. For example, the click-thrus on discussion forums tends to be very low. I have a discussion forum in a certain niche with 100,000s of monthly views and I barely make $20 in adsense revenue.

You can even make Google adsense revenue from Free sites like Blogger and Squidoo. You can set up free blogs or squidoo lenses and add Adsense automatically with a few clicks of your mouse. You WILL need to have an Adsense account beforehand though.

Warning: Make sure you remember to check Google Adsense’s terms of service before setting up your account and check them again when setting up ads. There are certain rules you MUST follow when placing ads and of course you ARE NOT allowed to click your own ads, and a few more regulations.

If you engage in any dodgy practices at all, believe me, Google will find out and you’ll have your account shut down quicker than a flash. Don’t risk it! There have been horror stories of marketers losing $1000s in monthly revenue overnight from having their accounts closed. That said, I’ve had an Adsense account for a few years now with no major problems to date.

I guess for newcomers concerned about online scams, this would be a way to get involved with a company that you could hardly label a scam – whether you are in favor of their wide ranging power over the net or not.

If you’re interested in setting up a plan to earn a great income with Google Adsense revenue as the hub of your business then you won’t do much better than Google Adsense Masters. This is a first class course and an honest attempt to guide anyone towards a full-time income from Google Adsense. I can HIGHLY recommend it. Click the link below for more details:

Don’t be expecting to get rich overnight. If you are willing to set out a daily plan and get to work there is no reasons why you cannot earn a substantial income from the Big G.
