We are in the midst of the festive season between Christmas and New Year;
a time for most to spend quality time with their families and take a well deserved rest.
It is also a time for reflection on the past year and decisions concerning the year to come. Internet Marketers are well aware that it is a golden time to promote themselves through greetings and Christmas gifts to their loyal customers.
Customers world wide are aware of the huge end of year sales that abound and there are a surge of people at this time of year shopping online as well.
I have noticed a pandemic of advertising for work at home data entry jobs offered online, taking advantage of the increased traffic. This has happened consistently in the past at this time of year.
Perhaps you have seen ads like this:
“Earn $200-$500 every day, working from your home computer”
The promo goes on to tell you that you do not need any prior experience, that if you can copy and paste and type a message, you can do this job. They will supply you with as much work as you want to handle, etc, etc.
Or an ad like this:
“ Earn $75 per hour guaranteed getting rebates for companies.”Again the promo states that you do not need any experience.
The sales letters are usually very well written, seem to make logical sense and appeal to the people most in need of extra income – like stay at home mums or people who have been laid off.
I get calls for help daily from masses of confused people who have joined these programs. This is also the most asked question on many forums; the question goes something like this:
“I have done everything I was instructed to do, worked my but off for the past two months but have not earned anything, what am I doing wrong with this data entry job – please help.”
So before you get taken in to pay these scoundrels for their services let me point out what they omit to tell you about:
Data Entry Jobs.
The companies they talk about for which you are going to enter data are affiliate programs which they tell you to join for free.
The data you are going to enter are advertisements which they provide, which you are told to submit to free advertising sites.
If the advertisement results in a sale you will get paid a commission from the affiliate program.
The likelihood of you making a sale through free advertising sites is practically nil.
They don’t care whether you make a sale or not as they have got your money.
Rebate Jobs.
You are told to join affiliate programs. Try to sell the products with the promise of a rebate – that comes out of your commission once you have been paid. They tell you that you will make a lot of sales because you are undercutting the competition by offering a rebate. Again they give you the ads to place on free advertising sites. Your chances of making sales using this method are very slim.
What you are actually paying for.
You are paying these scoundrels between $49 - $199 for a list of affiliate programs to join for free.
Here is where you will find all the information they will give you about affiliate programs:
http://www.paydotcom.comhttp://www.clickbank.comOr do a search on Google for affiliate programs.
The ads they give you to post to free advertising sites are taken from the promo tools available to you when you join any of the affiliate programs.
If you want a list of free advertising sites again just do a search on Google for free advertising sites.
So now you don’t need to pay anyone for the privilege of data entry or rebates. I have just given you all that you will receive from them for free.
As stated above you won’t make enough sales using this system to make an income from home.
Yes you can make an income from home through good affiliate programs, your own products or a service. However you first need to know how to market online.
To earn as you learn go to the “
Kimbro’s Study” this is not an e-book but a free 24/7 study online. You will not need to download anything or give any details to access all the information you need to make money online from home.
Wishing all a Happy and Prosperous 2009
Cheers,
