Money Making Schemes

Nagesh answers:

Dear TatieMV,

Create a flyer of things you are able to do from home / at home and your price, and ask local retailers/ supermarket, if you can hang up your flyer.

Like as you already said, baking for local parties…what else?

Laundry services
Ironing
light sewing (replacing buttons, fixing small tears.

You can also place a local ‘wanted’ ad on http://www.Craigslist.com or http://www.backpage.com

I have a couple of other ideas you can do, but don’t want to list them as I don’t know all your details (Do you have a PC? Location? How much financially do you want to spend? Sometimes you have to spend money before you can make money.)

Anyway you can contact me via Yahoo!Answers or via my website below (preferable). Always willing to help other people to get from where they are to get where they want to be.

I hear what you say and sympathise with your situation. What I have to offer in reply may or may not be of help, but I’ll add my two cents worth anyway and hope that I can be of some assistance. Travel in itself can be an issue financially these days with the costs of fuel and so on.

I am a single mum of four with an illness which limits my ability to work full time and so I began searching for a home based business opportunity which was legitimate, genuine and ethical, which involved an industry I was interested in and which didn’t offer false promises or a get rich quick scheme. During my searching and research, I learnt a bit and that’s what I’ll share with you here.

So, it depends on what you want to do and whether or not you are interested in a work at home job or a work from home business opportunity. If neither of these, then my comments are probably irrelevant but……

Let me share with you a little of my experience:

There are many businesses opportunities advertised on the internet, many of them legitimate, successful businesses, many of them not!

It takes diligence to weed out what’s what.

Without intending to pin tickets on myself, I consider myself a reasonably well educated person with professional training and life experience behind me, but……..

I have been ‘taken for a ride’ with a couple of online opportunities offering much and providing little – or less – nothing. I lost money when I could least afford it and I became very angry. Not as much as you though – I feel for you.

Having said that, I was also desperate to improve my financial situation and being a ‘suddenly single’ mother of four who has health issues, I felt that home based business was the only way to go.

So, I started researching – DETERMINED NEVER TO BE SCAMMED AGAIN.

In short, here’s what I’ve discovered:

For any business to be legitimate, it must offer either a product or a service. If it doesn’t offer product or service then it is a scam and illegal.

Be aware of get rich quick schemes – there is no such thing. Any legitimate business takes work and effort on your part and requires building. It takes time to build the foundations of any venture – how much time is dependent on your own efforts and relatively speedy advancement is certainly achievable if you are prepared to put in the hours. (As the saying goes, if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is.)

Ensure the organization offers full support and training. It’s easy to sign someone up for a business but it takes commitment and effort on the part of the enroller to train and support you in your efforts. Make sure you are not going to outlay your money and then be left with no communication or help.

And speaking of money – determine how much the business is going to cost you to get started and what that fee actually gets you. If it only gets you permission to view a certain website then I’d seriously think again.

It is reasonable to expect some start-up and on-going costs in a legitimate business – no such thing as a free lunch – but determine, not only how much is will cost you to start but more importantly, what your ongoing costs will be. A business may be low cost to start but then require an outlay of thousands of dollars each month to qualify you for your pay.

Don’t be forced, convinced, badgered or ‘talked into’ committing to a cost which is above your budget, no matter what the apparent ‘limited’ offer may be. Many scammers offer you a reduced price but ‘only for today’ for instance. If a prospective business partner is not prepared to help you achieve success without causing you undue financial stress, then I’d be steering way clear. You know how much money you have to invest in your business, whether that be $50, $500, $1500 or more. Anyone offering you a business opportunity should be able to cater to your budget to a certain degree.

Ensure than any organisation you are looking at joining is listed with the Direct Selling Association. Direct Selling and Multi Level Marketing businesses are very legitimate and legal and are certainly not pyramid. Pyramid schemes are illegal. MLM and Direct Selling businesses are very, very profitable if conducted in the correct way. Check the company’s Compensation Plan to see what benefits you are entitled to and how teams are structured. This is very important as some team structures result in a high attrition rate, which benefits no-one.

I am currently involved in my own very successful home business and whilst it is not my intention necessarily to promote my own business here, I encourage you to visit my website and also another link which I will post here – You will find further links on what to look for in a home based business.

If you think this may be something you are interested in learning more about, then I would love you speak with you, (just fill out the form on my website). I know first hand that our business is achievable with full of support and training (personal training too by the way – not just website links albeit we do use the web and email as a fantastic communication tool).

Our business markets revolutionary and patented health and wellness products. There is no necessity to sell or stock product, to cold call or to pester your family and friends to get started. I operate my business purely online thus far but have other options open to me should I choose. A small town is no barr for you as I too live in a small town. Check out the links and decide for yourself if you would like to contact me further. The choice, as always, is yours.

Regardless of whether you choose to contact me or not, I hope this information has been helpful. I understand how daunting it can be starting something new especially when the internet can make opportunities appear so intangible. I wish you well in your search and in any venture you undertake.

With Best Regards,
Denyse

Ok, there ARE ways to earn money online despite what everyone says…BUT you’re not going to get rich overnight and it will take some work. Here’s a few ideas. All of these ideas are free to start, don’t waste your money paying some scam sites.

Write: You can write articles for sites like eHow or hubpages and they will pay you based on traffic and etc from your work. Most people will make between $50-500 bucks a month. Some high earners make close to two grand.

Design products: If you’re artistic you can open a zazzle store and sell t-shirts, bumper stickers, mouse pads and etc. It’s free to do, all you have to do is submit designs. Zazzle will then put these designs on products. I run a store where I sell Avon, Mary Kay and Pampered chef shirts and things.

Peoplestring: This is a cool new website that pays you to surf the web. If you go through their portals to check your email, facebook, play games and etc. They will pay you a percentage of the ad revenue they make. It’s not going to make you rich, but to make a little change for stuff you’re doing already anyway seems like a sweet deal to me. I’ve really enjoyed using it.

Hope all of this helps! I’ve been working online for years now and have had great success. Good luck to you! If you really have a good work ethic and are determined, you can make cash online. 🙂

Yes there is a company, I believe they are based out of San Antonio, Tx. You would do work for different companies, ie Home Shopping Network, QVC, etc. You answer calls. I think their website is West.com
