How to Identify Bad Money Making Plans
Mar 30th
It may be obvious to many of you, but how to identify a bad money making plan is something that everybody should give a little bit of thought to. To me, anytime I see a plan that really gives me little or no information about the plan without requiring information from me, like my email address, name, address, phone number etc usually turns out to be a bad plan. It’s not like they are harbouring some top secret information or something, they are just trying to get your information for other purposes.
Think about it, if I had a really great plan, I would be more than happy to give people as much information as I could about it (without totally giving it away, since I would be selling the information of course). If I presented the information well enough, I wouldn’t have any problem at all in having all the customers I want give me their details later when purchasing the plan. The internet is just flooded with these irritating and annoying landing pages, that promise you the moon or some ‘free download’ if only you give them your information first.
Some of the most dangerous plans are those that work like a pyramid scheme, where they promise you if you become a member and only get so many more members you will be a big success. None of these plans work and my best advice to you is to instantly avoid any of them. MLM’s or Multi Level Marketing schemes are crafted cleverly so they can say they are not really a pyramid scheme, but in reality they are. They just changed the way they do it a little since pyramid schemes themselves are illegal.
Perhaps the most important thing to remember in all this is that old saying, “if it sounds too good to be true it usually is”. I also like to look at these plans saying to myself, if I really had a plan that could make me easily $10,000 a month, why would I even want to share it with anybody else? And if I did, why would I have to charge them for it and go through all the trouble of creating elaborate pitch pages, collect information etc?
Intervestonline.com – The Top Ways to Make Money Online – They must be joking
Mar 12th
Whenever you do a search on Google for ‘How to Make Money Online’, you will see that intervestonline.com has the top spot in a results search. Their real tag line should be more like ‘How to Make US Money Online’. In my opinion, most of their suggestions are for sites and plans that are just utter garbage. You will note, several of the ones they promote heavily are ones that I have reviewed and found to be nothing but pure rip-offs. As usual, all that their site seems to be about is ways for them to cash in on referrals and the like by recommending these systems to people and trying to give them flowery, glowing reviews. It is no wonder to me that trying to find legitimate ways to actually make money online is nearly impossible these days. There are just so many obvious, blatant rip-off sites around that it is hard to find any of the decent ones. I am a little uncertain how to proceed with my blog here now. I could spend an eternity providing negative reviews of all the bad places, or maybe I should just change direction and provide only information on good methods and information on making money online.
LegitOnlineJobs – Not A Scam
Jan 5th
I was a little up in the air over this one, whether or not it could or should be classified as a scam mainly because of the name and some of the slick pitch page hype referencing easily making $500 a day or more. The title seems a bit misleading to me. It would make more sense if labelled something like LegitWaysToMakeMoneyOnline rather than Legit Online Jobs. The site however does deliver a large amount of very good information on how to make money online using a host of various methods. The easy access to solid information which is well organized makes it a bargain for those looking into getting into affiliate marketing, using blogs to make money or various other methods. There is information on PPC advertising and how to bid on ads properly to make a profit on any affiliate sales they generate. They also have plenty of information on Google Adwords and Adsense, ebay, Paid surveys and various other systems that pay you to perform tasks online. The costs for all this information are pretty low when you think about it, $49.95 for a regular membership and $19.95 more for VIP status. You could easily spend that much elsewhere just to get a few books or such on any one of the many topics they cover. As with anything else related to internet marketing though, it is not a get rich quick scenario. It will take a lot of work and effort to make enough money for it to pay off. But, once you really get into it, there is plenty of money to be made. If you are looking for some good information all in one place and want to check them out, here is a link to their page:
How to Make Money with YouTube
Dec 26th
Sure you have seen a YouTube video somewhere, whether online or on some television news or tabloid/talk show. Since its inception in 2005, The video-sharing sensation has exploded since then, with untold millions viewing YouTube videos daily. But, did you know there is also money to be made from this phenomenon? Maybe you have seen some of the many claims of six figure incomes from YouTube or other video-sharing services. Up until recently, the people making that money pretty much kept their methods to themselves, but now, anybody can get the information on how to create a successful YouTube venture from any one of several good books on the subject.
Of course, it’s not as simple as making a short video and just uploading it to the site. There is a lot of work and a lot of things to keep in mind while doing it. But, with the help of a good book, like ‘How to Make Money with YouTube’ by Bradd and Debra Shepp, you can learn all you need to know to have a successful YouTube campaign. They cover just about every aspect of making money with YouTube, from how to create YouTube videos to the best ways of marketing yourself, your company and your videos on YouTube. There is also a large section on marketing and distributing your videos as well as growing your income and even how to use YouTube’s competitors to your benefit. Remember, although YouTube is currently the largest video-sharing site, there are plenty of other competing services which are quite anxious to get video sources to compete with.
If the idea of making money online by creating and distributing videos sounds interesting to you, the best place to start would be a good book, like one of these listed below:
Multi-level Marketing (MLM)
Dec 24th
I’m sure by now you have at least seen the term MLM (or multi-level marketing) somewhere. But, do you really know what it is, or if you can make money in such a system? Many MLM systems are dangerously close to being nothing more than pyramid schemes. In a Multi-level Marketing program, you make money not just from your sales, but also from the sales of recruits you have brought into the system under you in a pyramid type structure. Many pyramid schemes try to make their systems appear legitimate by presenting them as an MLM system.
I’m sure that there are many legitimate MLM systems around where you could make some money. But, sadly, the largest percentage of them really offer you very little hope of making any sort of substantial income at all. They will fill your head with hype with evangelical fervency and promise you the moon. Most, will also of course show you many ‘questionable’ testimonials from happy customers who thank god that they joined this system. The sad truth of the matter though, is that most of them are just a load of rubbish. My best advice to you is, if you are seriously considering joining an MLM, do some serious research up front. Do yourself a favour and find out everything you can about the company and its members. Do internet searches and see how many dissatisfied or disgruntled members there might be. Try not to pay too much attention to glowing testimonials and other pitch page type reviews which are most likely just written by members trying desperately to get more recruits in under their name.
ShareASale Affiliate Marketing Program
Dec 18th
ShareASale is another one of the largest affiliate marketing programs. For business owners who sell online, ShareASale allows the merchant to pay commissions to affiliates who direct sales to their webstores. For the affiliate member, this means a way to make money for doing nothing more than placing an ad for the merchant on their website or blog.
You don’t need to own a website to place these ads, you can also put them on any blog you might have, and if you don’t have one, there are many places online where you can set up free blogs such as google’s blogger (http://www.blogger.com). When you join a merchant program that you want to advertise for, ShareASale gives you a line of HTML code that contains your unique affiliate id# in it. All you need to do is paste that line of code wherever you want your ad to appear.
ShareASale has thousands of merchant programs to choose from. Affiliate Marketing has been an increasing popular form of online advertising and all the biggest and best companies are using it to drive sales to their sites. Most of them pay great commissions of 8% to 25% of sales generated. For example, if somebody clicks one of your ads, then goes to the merchants site and buys $100 worth of merchandise and their commission rate is 10%, you get $10 for doing nothing but having someone click an ad displayed on your website or blog.
If you already own a web based business selling online, you might want to consider joining ShareASale as a merchant and start letting their affiliates advertise your business and drive sales to your webstore. But, this site is about people making money on the internet. I think that ShareASale is one of the best and simplest ways to make money online. If you are ready to start earning today just click their ad below and be sure to sign up as an Affiliate/Publisher it’s totally FREE and never costs you anything.
Affiliate Marketing Using Site Build It! (SBI!)
Dec 15th
Of all the various affiliate marketing plans I have either looked at or reviewed, Site Build It! Offers one of the best plans to develop a successful online business using content rich theme based websites or blogs. It’s not a get rich quick scheme, or an easy money scheme, it doesn’t promise six figure incomes in a week. SBI! Offers you a way to develop a successful online business which will attract many visitors and thus help you to make money, which is everyone’s wish in the end.
Their system is specially geared to help those looking to get online who don’t have technical or web design and internet marketing backgrounds. But, on the other hand, their system is good for anybody, even the most seasoned veteran. The SBI! system comes with several tools to help you, including a unique brainstorming application which goes out and finds you the best key words and text to use on your site depending on what your topic of interest might be.
Of course, you could do everything that ‘Site Build It!’ does for you on your own.

With their system you won’t have to spend countless hours reading and studying web programming and SEO concepts, they do it all for you.
Rather than spend all day trying to explain all the benefits and things available with SBI!, I’ll just give you this link to their pitch page, spend a bit of time reading up on what they offer and watch a few of their free informative videos, then you can decide for yourself if Site Built It! is for you.
Reseller web hosting
Dec 12th
The term web hosting reseller is pretty much self explanatory. This is where someone purchases large amounts of web hosting usually from a large and established web hosting company and then they resell web hosting to clients. This has been one of the largest online ways to make money for many years now and does not require large amounts of technical knowledge to do. The biggest challenge in web host reselling lies in marketing and finding customers to sell to. Web hosting has become pretty inexpensive and there is a lot of competition for customers so this usually turns into a low margin high volume type business to make good money in it. Additionally, you can make residual income from customers renewing their hosting accounts with you.
You don’t need a lot of technical knowledge to resell web hosting, since, the parent company usually provides technical assistance and customer support services to your clients. Your main job is selling the service and getting customers to sign up. There are several resources available to help you learn about web hosting reselling and how to market it. But for the purpose of this article, just think of it as another product or service you wish to sell online. Just keep in mind that there is still a large market of customers who want to set up their own web based business and have no idea how to get started. These are the sorts of individuals you would want to market your services to. HostGator is one of the largest web hosting companies and offers very competitive pricing on some good web hosting reselling plans. Just click on the following ad if you want to find out more about web hosting reselling.
Selling eBooks Online
Dec 8th
You can develop a successful online money making business by selling eBooks. There are several places where you can purchase eBooks with master resale rights, meaning you can purchase the eBook yourself and then re-sell it for whatever price you determine. They cover countless topics and specialties and your success will only be limited by the type of remarketing you decide to use. While I do not condone the practices of several of the plans reviewed here who use questionable marketing tactics and phony promises soliciting their eBooks at wildly overinflated prices, there is no reason why you can’t successfully re-sell eBooks on your own.
The good thing about eBooks is that they can be sold globally and the entire process is done via the internet, so no postage or shipping is involved. If you are just getting into online marketing, selling eBooks is a good place to start. The initial price you pay for your re-sellable eBooks is low, and you won’t risk being stuck with a large inventory of unsold products. Once you decide what sort of eBook(s) you want to sell, all you need to do is determine how you want to go about marketing them. To get a better idea of the wide range of eBook products available, just check out the following ad for one of the largest eBook re-sellers online.
