Money Making Schemes

Nagesh answers:

In tough economic times many people are forced to find ways to make extra money. Now, it’s easier than ever to work part time at home and it sure beats slinging burgers. In fact, recent reports have said that more and more companies want to contract out work that used to be done in-house, increasing the opportunities at home work. Today’s home based jobs are easier to find and pay better than most part time work.

The beauty of working from home is that you can set your own hours, work as much or as little as you need to, and have far more free time than if you worked out of the home at a traditional job. Few part time jobs have flexible schedules, and you are often at the mercy of whoever makes out the schedule that week. When you work at home, you are the boss, you set the hours, you determine your paycheck, not someone else. As more companies cut back on hours, part timers are the first to see their hours cut. That’s why finding a good way to make money from home is a terrific alternative.

When looking for a position, you must determine whether you want to contract out your services to an outside company or start your own business. Some of the most popular ways to make money are freelance writing, data entry, and website design. The Internet has several websites dedicated to helping people find part time work at home positions. A word of caution, though.

Scam artists are looking for people desperate to make extra money and have come up with all sorts of legitimate-looking schemes that turn out to be nothing but money-takers. Data entry positions in particular, have been the target of scam artists. Make certain the company you work for is legitimate and the pay reasonable. Don’t fall for claims of making large amounts of money for doing little work. If something doesn’t feel right, follow your instincts.

One way to ensure you don’t fall for a scheme is to start your own business. Several legitimate businesses are available that allow the entrepreneur to make money online with affiliate marketing and multi-level marketing program. Do your research to determine the best option for you and be sure to get a realistic idea of how much money you can make. In the end, you may find your part time job pays better than your full-time job.

Thanx…

When my grandfather used to hear the family complain about prices and contemporary ‘hard times’ his usual expression was, “And I remember when bread was a nickel, but who had a nickel?” He was one who remembers somethings past as good but was commonly equally quick to quip, “The good old days weren’t really so good.”

The Great Depression was a confluence of many things. I’ve some links to some available books you might check out.

The current Federal Reserve chairman, Ben Bernanke assembled, and contributed to, Essays on the Great Depression (Princeton University Press, 2000: http://books.google.com/books?id=c2OSWhLjzJkC). Unless you have an ecomics degree, it may be a tad bit technical in places, but it is good.

The one I think most suscinctly explains is Thomas E. Hall and J. David Ferguson’s The Great Depression: An International Disaster of Perverse Economic Policies (University of Michigan Press, 1998: http://books.google.com/books?id=pT8gMTpQ5L0C).

Essentially, one of THE biggest causes of the Great Depression began in the conclusion of World War I. The enormously punitive settlement which was forced on Germany was part of the root to what would later become the Great Depression, at least in my eyes (portions echoed the books above, although their directions were more precise and technically correct than my personal summation). Germany did not get the quietly negotiated settlement advanced before the ceasefire. After their troops pulled back, they were in no position to reassert themselves as before, so they were stuck with whatever the Allies presented them. Germany then, painted into a corner and saddled with enormous debts to pay for damages they caused, then essentially (although not exactly) printed more money to pay the bills. The German currency became essentially worthless, a wheelbarrow full would not buy a loaf of bread. This was the thing that would later make the opportunity for an opportunist named Hitler to come to power upon the discontent of the German populace.

International money systems were not as fluid and resilient as today. There were not quite the same easy protocols of commerce as today. Protective tarrifs to the advantage of various nationalities and the residual burdens or complications of exploitive colonial policies (which were often forced to participate in the “homeland”‘s protective tarrif and currency valuation schemes, all broadened the effects of now worthless or questionable currency mainstays.

The stock market crash was kind of like the 9/11 attack, the fanatical terrorists had long been at war with the U.S., it was just then that one of many such conflicts struck home and became the symbol of the problem.

As for your symptoms, consider that we had worse than today when Carter was president. Unemployment was high, interest rates seemingly astronomical, and the common sentiment was then that we were close, if not in, another great depression. Still, while it was rough, it was also a media-fueled hysteria that fed our fears in order to help them sell papers and magazines. (sound familiar?)

I can see things that might bring us to another serious depression, but mostly we are teased into our current fears because that is what the media does best. Still, I can see some events that could easily cause it, but we aren’t there yet. Don’t worry about it.

I tried over 15 opportunities in the course of 2 years so I have some great information for you plus a list of top 10 work at home scams!

I am a mother of two little girls who are actually tugging on my arm as I write this so I will try to be brief. Many people are looking for work from home companies. All the scams definitely create a big problem but also, there is a problem of people misunderstanding the difference between work from home “jobs” and work from home opportunities. There really are not work from home “jobs”. To get that you have to start working for a company in their offices first, then they MAY allow you to take the job home.

Most of the work from home opportunities that are legitimate offers are not an hourly pay type job. They are business opportunities that help you in starting your own business from your home. What you should do first is to decide if you are simply looking for an hourly rate type job or if you are looking for more of an opportunity for additional income such as what you would make in your own business being your own boss from home. Small home businesses have some small costs involved, less than $500 to start is reasonable and I would stay away from those wanting $1000-$5000. It doesn’t cost that much to start and run a home business so you shouldn’t pay it.

If you are coming across places that say free then I would RUN don’t walk the other way! They never are. I tried them many a times and 3 weeks later I had to buy this and 6 weeks later that. After 6 months these “free businesses” had cost me over $800 on average.

After trying 15 things I now work about 18-25 hours per week for a National Medical Healthcare Company. This is a nationally known and reputable home business which is what you need to make sure you are looking for. I have been with the company almost a year and a half now and I make over $4500 a month! In your first month, depending on how many hours you can work, I have seen people make anywhere from $500 to over $2500. And your income will increase each month because you get paid residual income as well.

The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit, life insurance and a benefits package most of which you get from day one. In addition, there are no products, no hard selling or pushing, no cold calling, no home parties and no telemarketing! That was VERY important to me. I absolutely love working with them and I can’t believe I am making what I am making and in so few hours per week. The neat thing is there are other people on your team that you work with so you are never alone. You have great team support and you get to know the other people on your team pretty well.

I was a bit apprehensive at first because I know a lot of companies are not legit but this company is the number one National Medical Benefits Company in the US. They are a member of the US Chamber of Commerce, and the National Association of Dental Plans and the owner of the company actually sits on the board of The Consumer Health Alliance to which we are also members. Also they were featured in “The New York Times”, “Wall Street Journal” “Time Magazine” “American Medical Review” and even in the May 2008 issue of “Parents Magazine”. Even “60 Minutes” did a big special on this home based business.

Even more then all this is they are accepted at over 100,000 retailers nationwide. These are fortune 500 companies like Sears, Target, K-mart, Rite Aid, CVS, Wal-mart, Publix and more. These companies would never work with a company that was anything less than reputable.

TOP 10 WORK AT HOME SCAMS:

10. Craft Assembly

9. Medical Billing

8. Email/Rebate Processing

7. “A List of Companies Looking for Home workers!”

6. “Just pay for and take this class first” Then we’ll give or find you a job!

5. Typing At Home / Data Entry

4. “Turn Your Computer Into a Money-Making Machine!”

3. Pyramid Schemes (this is NOT the same as Multi-Level Marketing MLM)

2. Chain Letters/Emails (“Make Money Fast”)

1. Envelope Stuffing

Please beware of these scams. There are some legit home businesses out there so be careful. Look for companies in business over 10 years. Look for companies with a needed product or service, something you would be proud to represent. Look for companies that have a national reputation and are members of the US Chamber of Commerce.

As for those of you who say…..”I want to work from home but I don’t want to have to pay for anything”. Well, that’s great! But it will never happen. Let’s be honest, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If it is a true honest home business you need to expect to pay. Mr. Walt Disney didn’t start the Disney empire “without paying for anything”. Neither did Mr. Sam Walton, owner of Wal-Mart.
