Looking for a new job, but worried that the great job you found on the web is an online job scam? It might be, says the Better Business Bureau.
With the economy suffering and unemployment near ten percent, more and more people are trying to be creative in finding new work and new sources of income. The growing ranks of unemployed workers – as well as retirees, stay-at-home moms, students and others – are prime targets for the employment schemes that have flourished on the Internet for years. Of course, there are some legitimate jobs to be found online, so how can you tell whether a position is for real or whether it’s an online job scam?

First, a disclaimer: You will probably never make enough money taking surveys online to support yourself. Any survey companies who promise you huge money just for taking a few surveys (or try to get YOU to pay for the privilege) are scamming you, plain and simple. That said, legitimate online survey taking can bring an extra $50 to $100 or more to your pocket per month, and that’s not too shabby. So how do you get started?
You start by finding a legit source of trusted online survey companies. Some options include Survey Police, Inbox Dollars, Snap Dollars and My Survey. Remember, the key is LEGIT – if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

In my last post, I told you a bit about RAPBank. Soon after that, I listed an ebook or "special report" for sale on RAPBank. It was a product that I had spent a fair amount of time developing because I thought it would be popular. But I'd never had much success driving traffic to the website where it was sold from. So I thought, I'll put it on RAPBank and maybe one of the other affiliates will have a mailing list or a website that matches the product.
So today I went to my email and I saw a "You have received a payment" email from Paypal.

Although I've sold and bought products on Clickbank, I've never been a fan of it. I find a lot of the items to be overpriced. It's clear people choose prices to attract affiliates — people who will try to sell anything with almost any tactic — fake reviews, promoting an item they've never even seen or used – if they can get a $27 commission. And I know that Clickbank's fees for people listing products are also fairly high, which further leads to inflated prices.

I don't really know which is frustrating me more right now. Google or Squidoo. One of the approaches that I'd had pretty good luck with was Squidoo lenses. My success was modest (maybe averaging $5 a month per lens). Some of the pages I created were total duds with no one looking at them and some took off.

I ran across this forum post by an internet marketer offering to Stumble your site (post it to StumbleUpon) for free and I noticed that this guy with the big goofy smile is currently running quite a few free services. He's also got a free backlinks offer and a free traffic report.
So, if you are trying to generate additional traffic to your website, stop by Nick's Traffic Tips.

I think I’ve found the hands down FASTEST way to get listed in the search engines.
I didn’t learn it from any guru’s advice either. As I mentionned in my last post I participate on the Warrior’s Forum and in particular I signed up for the 30-Day Blogging Contest. I noticed that each day as I add a URL to my latest post, that that corresponding web page gets added to Google within 24 hours. And I realized that I’ve observed similar behavior from webpages that I included in my Warrior Signature.

So, I know that one of the substantial factors in where my web page turns up in the search engine results, is how many other pages link to it. I recently subscribed to this backlink offer on Warrior’s Forum and am finding it very useful for boosting ranking in the Search Engine (mostly Google) results.

Okay, this is not like all the Google ads and articles that claim to be a “review of Forced Money.” I don’t even claim this is a review of . But I think both the product AND the reviews of it are BIG, FAT SCAMS.
Basically several thousand people, including myself, got an email that said here use this article which is supposedly a review of Forced Money and insert your Clickbank affiliate link and make $45.73 on the front-end and $66.55 on the back-end and it will convert like crazy.
But what the hell is the Forced Money product?
Here is what it claims to give you:
o An amazing website!
o A website that converts sales automatically!
o A website that puts “forced” money directly into your pocket!
o A website that’s run by another firm for you (at NO charge!)
o A website that continues to promote for you over & over!
o A website that grows & cultivates a proven list!
o A website that functions automatically (so you never run it!)
o And a website that you get Free H0STING for!
Gosh, why don’t they throw in a fictional maid to clean my house. I mean if they have an infinite ability to create websites that ‘force’ money out of the internet, then why don’t they just amass the largest accumulation of wealth ever. If I’m doing nothing, then they don’t need me to create website after website, and I’m adding nothing. So I’m getting hordes of money for doing nothing. Duh…. am I the only one who smells something fishy.
You know what this is — it’s a giant chain letter, whereby the person starting the letter gets others to send them money, hoping that still other people will send them money. The only specific service or product that is mentionned is that this “AMAZING website” will promote a product called Get Google Ads Free. Forced Money explains this is a great product for all internet marketers and converts like crazy.
WAIT!!!
Get Google Ads Free is by the same guy who created and sells and profits from Forced Money. He is getting people to PAY him to set up a website for them that promotes HIS PRODUCT!!! Yes, if the website sells his product, you’ll make money. But again, if he could just keep creating more and more websites and sell more and more himself, he would because he’d keep a bigger piece of the pie. Maybe he figures if there are articles written all over the internet in various people’s names or all the buyers contact their friends and family that it will increase sales. But at some point the market is saturated, especially if the product doesn’t deliver as promised and I find it extremely hard to believe that either product delivers anything like what it describes.
If anyone has actually bought either of these products and used them and thinks I’m wrong. PLEASE let me know. I’d LOVE to discover a product that fills my pockets with money, whether it comes with maid service or not!

I purchased Expert WordPress because I have two blogs that I want to create and I want to build them with RSS and now some friends are advising ‘go with WordPress’ who before were saying Blogger was just as good for SEO (drives me crazy how many times they change their advice). BUT the one blog I wanted to add to an existing website and I am 99% sure that only WordPress really handles that quickly. But WordPress is a pain in the …. right?
It was until Expert WordPress. I went ahead and bought this because I am just swamped in my day job and the only way I have a chance of getting a WordPress blog created is if I can do it in about 15 minutes — which is all this takes.
But now, before I’ve even gotten a chance to use the product, the co-creators sent me a note asking advice for how to make it better. Now That’s Customer Service. And this isn’t just a glib, hope you like it sort of note, it’s a thoughtful, please answer specific questions. See below….
