In this article we are going to discuss a few home based business scams you must learn to avoid. Now - I'm going to tell you straight up front that many people get immediately insulted when you label their "opportunity" a scam. And simply stated, I'm not here to ruffle feathers, step on toes or make any enemies with my recommendations. I am here though, to hopefully save you the time, energy and income that comes with wasting time on a home based business plan that is inherently and fundamentally flawed, and sort of steer you in the right direction instead. So for the purposes of this article, and to avoid getting any people upset, let's simply call them home offers you really should avoid..:-)
Tip #1: Stay Away from MLM, or Network Marketing Programs
Yes, I know people get upset when you say this, and yes it STILL remains true that well over 98 percent of folks who begin any network marketing program will never make any money....and worse yet, most will actually LOSE income in terms of fees and product purchases that are often encouraged. ( if not mandatory) Look, the bottom line with MLM is this: Will a few people at the very "top" of the program make some money for a little while? Yes, a few will. Is the likelihood going to be that's it's going to be you? Absolutely ( and unfortunately) not! There are far easier ways to make money as well - and without having to pester your family, friends and strangers to boot..;-)
Tip #2: Surveys, Stuffing Envelopes and ANY ( and all) Fee Based Opportunity Programs
Look - I know that stuffing envelopes for cash sounds like a pretty good idea. Guess what? It's a scam. So too are most survey programs, and quite simply ANYTHING that requires you pay them a fee for a job, no matter how high paying they promise, is going to be a rip off, or at very best, something you better investigate very well before you spend any money on it at all.
The truth is, there are many fun, creative and interesting ways to turn your passion...into profit, and unfortunately, the above ideas "ain't" amongst them!
