trying to make money online

Hi everyone, In this hard times, we all look for a way to make an extra buck...either by getting a second job, or renting out a spare room. If you search online for jobs, there is never one you qualify for, and the ones you might qualify for are either too far away or maybe scam. Now days, it is more notable that you need money to make money.For example, you need money for gas to make it to work everyday to make money to pay the rest of your bills. Even to work from home,you need money. I have seen hundreds of work at home applications and it seem that the only way these people make money is by scamming the first naive person that comes to their site. There was one that truly made me laugh, there is a site posts supposedly government jobs available where you can earn from$12-$48 an hour, the catch is that you have to call a 800 number to find out that you have to pay $69.99 to obtain the package with the info. I don't know about you but I'm tired of people trying to take advantage of me. I decided that I will post here every site that I find that it tries to take advantage of the people in need. I suggest that if you come across a site that offers you the sky but doesn't deliver, you post it here for everyone to see for free. It is time to take a stand.

Yes, that is a great idea! Even though there might even be some blogs like that around, but there is always the need for more, in order to educate and help people regarding these things! Go for it!

Any site that says they well give you a job if you pay the initial membership fee is a scam. Why would any employer make you pay for you to start working for them? thats just out ragous.

AS far as I am concerned, I think it is so easy for me to make money online now. But actually speaking , at the first time that I am going to make money ,it is so difficult then. At that time I nearly deciside to give up. But fortunately , I got a pyment at donkeymails, then I deside not to give up , just stick to the sites that I am doing, then I feel it is easy for me to make money online now.If you want to see more, I think you can just check them in my profile. Have a nice day.

Good for you babyface. you are trying to uncover our business. Anyway, am not one of those people you are talking about. I simply found a way to make money and it was through those same people that you are talking about. And I realized even they can help a lot by disclosing much valuable information and we can write some of these articles by using their help which they disclose foolishly.

The best advice is never register on a new website, most[some new stuff are actually cool so don't take this at 100%, investigate how it works first is better too] of the new websites are pure scam. Try to go to some of the older stuff with already some years, that are probably the ones you can trust and earn some extra cash. Another things you can do is check some websites that post jobs of companies that need people like EDGE for the game industry. That websites are cool and usually you just need to mail the company to get further info about the job.

Unfortunately scammers are always active. And usually, when people are more in needing, scammers are more active. This sh.. kind of people take undue advantage from the desperation of people in needing, promising the solution of their problems is few dollars far away. Usually when you're really in needing you WANT believe in a possible solution, that's why this kind of cheater have success. They sell for an affordable price a glimmer of hope. The sad is is a fake hope and who pays is usually someone that really need also the little price they steal :(

Hello, babyfaceyo! Yes, scammers are everywhere and they're duplicating as time goes by. Sites that asked for payment before joining them is nothing but scams. I was also fooled by those greedy people before. But that made me wiser now. =) There are scam sites but there are also real paying sites, which usually pay few pennies. I actually earned some pennies doing online jobs. And it feels good once you received the hard-earned money. Sites that promised a big amount of money are just scams. They are just bluffing or just trying to take advantage of other people. So, just be very careful in choosing the right paying sites. Have a wonderful day!

This here is a good article for what is behind the in online money making. You should publish this in public in your own blog. And you are right, people are trying to take advantage when they are in first in line. I don't know why but we humans do have an instinct of being greedy, not that I'm saying all of us but most of us. Scams are everywhere and even a big corporation can be one of it.

I have just about given up on some of these where you have to call a number and then you have to pay. I actually got a call back for a job interview and it turned out to be one of those pyramid schemes. You had to actually buy the product to sell to others and then try to get other people join the group. This was over 13 years ago so I cannot recall what the company was but it made me feel so foolish going there.

I feel your pain. I think I've tried everything under the sun. It is frustrating, but for some reason, I don't give up...still searching. You have great idea, though! There is so much utter crap out there, it's sad. I am currently trying a "blogging for money" type program. It seems legit enough...but alot of effort, I'm still on the fence about it as of now. Anyone had any success with this sort of thing?

You have to write an article about it and list down every information that we need. Anyway, you've got a great idea. People around the world should be aware about the scammers.

Making money online can be a bit difficult since you still have to reach the minimum amount for cash-out and on top of that, you earn so little everyday. Also, there are scam sites. It may become a little difficult at first but I guess as time goes on, it may turn out to be good.

well there is a site that actually works. its called mysurvey.com but it doesnt pay huge. You have to wait for them to send you a survey and then you get points and you can redeem them for money. its really easy but its slow and just side money...which is always nice to have=]
