Internet Marketing - There are Tigers

There are so many ways that newbies can ‘be had’ on the Internet. It is just sad that so many of those that are eaten up by the tigers that roam through the Internet jungle are only trying to find a way to be able to make some money using their personal computers and their Internet connections. They aren’t even hoping to become rich or famous. They don’t expect making money to be easy or fast. They simply want a job that will allow them to stay at home with their young children, help to put a loved child through collage or add to their retirement income. They are honest, hard-working decent people....that make the tigers out there start thinking about lunch.

Work-from-home

If you are considering trying to find a work at home job, you need to know that you will be working more hours for less money than you made at your job that was located in the brick and mortar world. On the other hand, you will not have all of the related expenses of a brick and mortar job either.

Ø      You will not have the expense of traveling to and from work.

Ø      You will not have the expense of suitable clothing for work.

Ø      You will not have the expense of day-care.

Ø      You will not have the expense of lunch out everyday.

Good things...all of them! But there is a downside to working from home, as well.

Ø      You will be considered to be self-employed

Ø      You will have to pay all of your FICA tax. (Your employer now pays half.)

Ø      You will have to convince your family and friends that you really do have a job.

Ø      You had better be aware of the tigers and other critters that want to have you for lunch...at the entree.

There are schemes and scams out there that are directed at those who want to be  work-at-home moms, those who are looking for an additional income source and those who are retirees looking for part-time work to supplement their incomes. Some of these scams are:

Stuffing envelopes: “Make extra money by stuffing envelopes from home!” This tiger is a bit long in the tooth. It’s been around for years. Advertisements for ‘at-home-envelope stuffers can be found in newspapers at  your local library that date back several decades....and yet people will still fall for it.

The reason that people will fall for this ploy is that they get all of that unsolicited mail at their own homes and they think that somebody had to have put that paper into those envelopes that are addressed to them.

Nope! Sorry.... but no living person actually put that paper into those envelopes. It was put there by a machine and it was addressed by a computer. It was mailed in bulk.

There is always, of course, a ‘small fee’ to get started in the envelope stuffing business. In return for this, ‘small fee’ you will most likely get instructions for placing ads just like the one you fell for to get others to bite.
