Too good to be true

Some people message me on Facebook telling me that I can earn $$ by just sitting at my pc. When I ask them how does it work, they say you may watch my webinar. I don't have time to watch such bla bla. It is a boring thing to me. So I ask them frankly if I have to sell, they say. Na, I don't like selling especially products. I don't like to force people buying my stuff. Have you encountered such job offer?

If they aren't selling anything, then their 'webinars' are designed to entice you into being referrals for whatever it is they do. It's only by having hundreds of referrals for the programs they are running that they are able to make the dollars they claim to be making. Doubtless their 'webinars' will tell you exactly that - and how you, too, could be making the same. What they WON'T tell you, however, is how difficult it is to get referrals at all - let alone ones who will actually work for you! Make no mistake about it: ANY successful online business involves selling something in one way or another, whether it's goods (as an affilliate), your 'system' (which means persuading people to become your referrals) or things you actually make yourself - crafts, ebooks or whatever.

You are right. In fact, she said 'yes' I needed to sell something. One of their products is coffee. Selling items is not my cup of tea. I mean, it all depends on the item.

I haven't been offered such a job but wouldn't want it either. I'd be a hopeless salesperson.

me too. And nowadays, it is really hard to sell things even if they are necessities. People still prefer the items they see in the malls.

More like a scam, not really a job offer. Yes, you can make money online. However, if you think you can do so passively, just by sitting down everyday, that's where you're wrong. I don't make a lot of money on mylot, or the survey apps I use, but I also put the time and effort into them. Any job worth doing takes effort.

One of my classmates told me that he will just get something somewhere and he invited me to go there. I've decided to go there with them and I was surprised that I'm in a seminar and telling me to say "Power!"

@Janet357 Urgh! Just a waste of time. They're interviewing me about how I interact with people. They even say "Your friends will believe on what you're going to say.". I want to say "They'll believe on me but not on your products or marketing."

it happened to me before. My classmate duped me by inviting me to her office for some chitchat. And when i turned up there, there was this crowd of sales people. ugh!

No but I barely go into Facebook anymore. I have someone wanting to message me on Instagram and I'm thinking it's a similar scam. I've declined to allow their message.

@Janet357 it is a scam when you have to go through our steps to make anything. Basically you joining would help that person or but not yourself.

There are so many different kinds of scams out there, when you do not get a straight answer to a question it is time to ignore them.
