Work From Home Scams Are Running Rampant
How to Avoid Home Based Business Scams
By Roxanne Green

The cost of living is rising and wages are not. Gas prices go up, but income doesn’t. The cost of groceries to feed our families goes up, but income doesn’t. The cost of everything we need to live goes up, but incomes do not. Many people are looking for ways to supplement their income.

Unfortunately, hundreds of people every day are losing their life savings or spending money they don’t have to start a home based business. The majority of these “opportunities” are structured so the part time person has little to no chance of success. People are losing money so others can get rich.

Gifting programs are also on the rise. This is where someone tells you that you need to “gift” them a couple hundred to a few thousand dollars. In return, you advertise the “deal” and others “gift” you this amount. These scams even go as far as to quote IRS publication 950. What they don’t tell unsuspecting people is giving a gift is legal as long as it’s not a business and you’re not out to make a profit. That is the key and why gifting programs are highly illegal.

Illegal pyramid schemes are another thing to watch out for. These are so easy to identify, but also so easy to get involved with. An illegal pyramid scheme is where there is no physical product being sold. Whenever you work from home, you must be involved in a company that sells actual products and pays you for moving those products to the end consumer. If your product is an ebook or music or a discount card or electronically delivered information that you can find for free on the internet, you are involved in an illegal pyramid scheme. Many of these companies are getting shut down on a daily basis. You can research this very easily by going to google.com and searching for “burnlounge”. They were one of the first companies to get shut down for selling the rights to music downloads and making it into a business opportunity. There MUST be an actual product.

The next thing you want to do is ask yourself “Would I pay X dollars (the company’s RETAIL price) for this product if there were no opportunity attached?” If the answer is NO – stay away. If you have to join to get the “good prices” – run the other way.

You will also see ads that scream “Sign up, do nothing and make money”. These are illegal. If you don’t need to do anything, why would they need you?? Just to take your money. Run the other way. A business takes work. You can not expect to sign up, sit back and do nothing and make money.

“Get rich quick” does not exist unless you rob a bank. Then you may end up in jail. If you are looking to get rich QUICK, you do not want a home based business. HOWEVER…if you are willing to put in time, effort and a little money, you CAN get rich. It will not happen overnight, but with persistence and a team to help you, it will happen.

There is good news!!

There are legitimate businesses out there. Do your research. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Find a good company. This is a must. Some companies are structured so they will be successful, but you will not. You must look for a company where you can be successful as well. Roxanne Green is a business coach & mentor and has been evaluating companies for almost 3 years. She has found a great company to work with and will be happy to help you on your path to success.

There’s an old saying – “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.”

This applies to blogging also. If you want to ask your readers for their OPINIONS don’t expect that every one of your commenters will be of the same opinion as you. AND – if one of your commenters does disagree with you – welcome that as a chance to have a mature debate. Notice I said debate, not argument.

As most of you know, I teach classes on social networking and blogging. One of the many ways that I teach you to get traffic to your own blog is to find other blogs to comment on. That way readers of that blog will come visit yours if they like what you have to say.

I have about 50 blogs in my feed reader. I glance through the new posts daily. If a post gets any kind of reaction from me, that’s where I go and comment. One blogger recently has taken offense to my opinions. She’s even taken to attacking me, making her look even more ridiculous.

I get in mature debates all the time on blogs. Most blog authors love it because it brings traffic in. I’ve made quite a few new friends all over the world by having mature debates with people. Three or four of them have actually called me from overseas to say they respect my opinion even if it differs from theirs.

I’m not going to link back to the offending blog from here because I don’t think the blog owner deserves the traffic. Suffice to say I will only comment on blogs where the owner is mature enough to welcome the traffic that a mature debate brings to a blog.

I’m done ranting. Moving on.

Do you know the difference between linear and recurring (residual) income?

LINEAR – This is probably the type of income you receive right now. You trade hours for dollars. Even surgeons make linear income. If they stop working the income STOPS.

RECURRING (RESIDUAL or ROYALTY) – This is the type of income that we all want. With this type of income, you do the work right ONE TIME and get paid over and over. Just like JK Rowling (author of the Harry Potter books). She wrote some great books (all it takes is one) and gets paid over and over every time one of them sells. Michael Jordan gets paid every time one of his commercials is on the TV. He doesn’t have to physically be there each time. Lisa Marie Presley receives royalty income from her dad’s (Elvis) music. He did the work right one time.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Which type of income would you prefer?

If you would prefer recurring (residual or royalty) income, but can’t sing, play basketball or write books, that’s OK. I will show you how to generate that type of income.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

For a limited time, I’m giving away a Freedom Pack (just pay a small shipping & handling fee). When you are done reading this information, you will know for sure how you can create that royalty income like JK Rowling, Elvis and Michael Jordan

With this pack, you can create $100s or $1000s or even $10,000s of royalty income a week. Just hand out the Freedom Pack. You can get it at WorkWithRoxanne.com

YOU Deserve Success!!
