If you are
serious about making money online, there are some things you should stay away
from. Unfortunately, the web is now filled with work from home “opportunities”
that are really just scams. Always make
sure you keep distance from the following types of scams & time wasters :
Scam 1: Data entry jobs / work from home scams
if you really are interested, then please stop. No two words make me cringe more than ‘data entry.’ Legitimate data entry jobs mostly consist of medical transcription, medical billing and clerical positions. Most of these jobs are extremely competitive and require training & experience before you can start working.
Scam 2: Get rich quick with Google
All get rich quick schemes are scams, this one is no different. Google’s ad program is good for bloggers and website owners, but you can only earn from it when you create your own content and work hard. Sites that promise you can make money easily from google are scams.
Scam 3: Get paid to surf the Web (Time Waster)
These types of work are really low paying not worth your time. They generally pay a few cents per day.
Scam 4: Get paid to read emails (Time Waster)
Again, very very low paying and not worth your time.
Scam 5: Surveys, Paid to Click PTC/GPT sites (Time Waster)
If a site says they will pay you for doing small things like clicking ads, stay away from it. The money you get paid will be very low (typically you get less than Rs.100 after working for 1 month). Surveys are not recommended especially if you’re living in india.
Finally, always remember this, any site which asks for registration fee to give you work is a scam. Be careful with these kind of sites.
