Ways To Make Money Online: Spotting Online Scams

There are so many ways to make money online. If you have a gift for writing, you can do some article writing jobs, or some blog commenting stuff. If you know about a thing or two about back linking, then you can offer that to website owners, for a price of course. The possibilities of earning money online from home are limitless. However, there are some things that you should watch out for, and those are online scams.

To spot online scams, remember these characteristics: Scheming, Crafty, Aggressive, and Malicious. When you want to venture on making money online, you need to guard your money like a junkyard watchdog.

Here are some ways to spot online scams:

• They offer you a business without a product! There are so many online business out there that offers you a get-rich-quick system, but when you purchase their product you receive a package with an empty box! A legitimate home based online business will offer you training modules, unlimited access to a training room, and an online support. 

• They tell you that you do not need a website. Take note of this, when you want to make money online, a website is necessary! 

• They tell you that you do not need a list! Just like a website, a list is necessary! Everybody who are making money online will tell you that, "the money is in the list." 

• They don't have a live person that you can talk to. When you want to talk to a person in-charge all you get is a chat mate. 

• They don't have a legitimate contact information on the site. There should be a valid phone number and address.

• They don't have an application  where they ask for your real personal information.

• Online scams are usually listed on snopes.com, ripoffreport.com and other websites that give information about frauds online.

Once you know how to protect yourself online, you are sure to have more success in your home based business.

How To Avoid Home Based Business Scams

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Joining a legitimate Home Based Online Business was a long and thorough process for me. You see, when you are a stay at home mom just like me, it's so easy to fall for online business scams. Although, there are so many legit home based businesses out there, there are still a few who would take advantage of your need to earn extra income for your family. 

How to avoid home based business scams and work at home opportunity scams, is a matter knowing that they are all about. This is what I am going to share with your now. 

Here are some few tips on how to avoid Home based business scams and work at home opportunity scams:

1. Research before your join. Never hesitate to contact the company directly, and inquire straight to the manager. If you tried several times and cannot contact a real live person, then don't even go there.
2. When it comes home based business scams, the same process goes. Ask if you can talk to the person in-charge. A home based business should have a 24- hour online support where you can inquire and ask about anything.
3. When an online business seems shady, try to contact the Better Business Bureau. When an online business opportunity is promising ridiculously large amount of money in no time, then it will tend to be a scam.
4.  When you are rendering your services, such as a typing job or article making, you should never pay money to work for a certain company. 
5. Never ever give your credit card information, unless of course, you have talked to a live person and have verified it to Better Business Bureau.

When you are careful in your online life the way you are cautious and mindful in your offline life, it's not hard to succeed and ear as much as you can in a legitimate home based online business

The Wonders and Beauty Of Being A Stay At Home Mom

Every time a child is born, a mother is born, too.

It has been six months since I have given up my career and decided to stay at home. Believe me the whole thing was not as simple as writing it in one sentence. Me and my husband, Anthony had a long hard talk about the decision of me staying at home. With a notepad and a pen, we discussed if we can afford having one paycheck for the four of us, plus the mortgage and loans and other necessities. After hours of going through all the corners of possibilities, we followed our hearts, and decided that being a stay at home mom is the best thing that we can do for our children.

Being a stay at home mom was perfect for me. I love it! I've been a career woman for as long as I can remember and I thought I was going to an identity crisis. But I was wrong, I have never felt so comfortable with my own skin being a full time stay at home mom. I love being with my kids, I enjoy preparing their breakfast, sending them to school, picking them up, having lunch together, having afternoon walks, singing in the car, cruising around the block, picking up dad in the office, preparing dinner together, and at night, reading some bedtime stories and talking about everything under the sun. It's a delightful life. I can go on like this forever.

After a few months, however, reality set in, the bills are getting paid on time, and there's ample food in the fridge, my husband is a wonderful provider, but he can only provide the necessities. I am no material girl, but once in while it's fun to buy a new pair of shoes or danglings.

So, I talked to a trusted friend about this, and she offered me this reliable online business. I was hesitant at first, because I never had any experience on these kinds of things, and as a matter of fact, it's the first time I heard about online business, and my idea of home based business is selling lemonade on the front yard. But when I checked out the site, everything seems to be in order, but as a typical, calculating, and meticulous person, I asked around, everybody I know vouched for it. Still hesitant, I signed up for their $1 trial, from then on, I was hooked, not because of anything else, but because I was earning a lot! It was slow at first, but at least money is coming.

I signed up full time last March 9, and before the month ended I was earning:

The great thing about this, I don't have to compromise my time with my kids and family. I still enjoy the same quality time, yet earning just as much as my husband, and even more!

I do not only understand the meaning of home based online business, but I am now enjoying its beauty.
