The Solid Internet Income Opportunities

Some Internet income opportunities are better than others, of course. Before you sign up for memberships with Internet income sites or clubs and before you send off for a box of supplies, there are some things you should bear in mind.

If you think that the Internet is full of easy money just ready to be collected, first do a search for “Internet income scams.” There are many websites out there that are devoted to finding and spreading information about opportunities that you should just stay away from.

Here are 7 of the more common Internet income opportunities you want to avoid.

Typing or data entry from home is one of the most common scams among Internet opportunities. All you have to do, according to the sites, is pay a software fee to get started. However, there are “data entry” sites that will send you, after you’ve sent in your startup fee, a letter telling you how to put these same false classified ads in other media to cheat people. Some opportunity.
Processing rebates is another common Internet income opportunity that is a sham. You pay the fee to join, and all you get is instructions on how to join a free affiliate bank. Yes, you do get commissions for selling products, but let’s say you sell a $ 100 stool to someone and give him a $ 20 rebate. Your commission is $ 10. But if he wants to return the stool, he gets the full refund, you lose your commission—and the rebate. This isn’t a scenario for long-term profits.
Stay away from any opportunity that wants you to assemble wooden ducks or other crafts. Yes, they will send you a starter kit if you pay their up-front fee. And when you send in your finished ducks (or whatever), you’ll get a letter or call saying that your ducks don’t “meet specifications.” Here’s a tip—you’ll never meet their specifications, because they sell the kits—not the ducks.
Medical billing is another Internet income opportunity that leads to nowhere. Guess what—medical offices hire firms to do their billing, not individual people, and many offices do their own billing. So you’ll have expensive software, and no clients.
Email processing is an income opportunity that is a new version of the chain letter. They offer to pay you $ 25 per email that you process. Is this a company that really needs people to hit “Reply” and “Forward”? No—they’ll send you instructions about how to set up your own e-mail processing scam, though.
Have you read the Internet income opportunity ads that promise to make your computer a “money-making machine”? It’s true that you can—but as with many of the other ideas above, you’ll just be making money for your scammer . . . and getting a list of instructions for setting up your own shell game.
MLM (multi-level marketing) income opportunities abound on the Internet and offline as well. There are many legitimate ones, but some of them are just pyramid schemes. If your MLM company is all about signing up new people and not about the service or product for sale, they may be violating federal law.  Better stay away from this Internet opportunity.

Noticing a common theme? Most of these schemes are just ways for you to get scammed and then lure other people into the scam too. There are legitimate Internet income opportunities out there—but not these.
