Get Rich Quick Scams RevealedRead this article before you consider paying for a “get rich quick” program.
From: highergrndEverybody would love to make lots of money quickly, working from home, and only doing a few hours of work per week. I’ve spent the past two years trying to find a great way of doing this. Only over the course of the past few months have I found any “get rich quick” programs worth buying. I’ve been trying to make money online for a long time. I had a few small websites, but they never made much more than a few hundred per month. It was easy money and didn’t require much work on my part, but I knew there were people out there doing better than I was and I knew I could do as well as them. Now, I’ve seen a lot of “get rich quick” programs. Most of these people make claims about earning $2000/day with Google or something similarly insane. Almost all of these people are complete liars. Even if they were making $2000/day with Google AdSense, it’d be because they had high- traffic websites with a lot of quality content. I’d know, because in one whole month, I never even made half of what they promised I’d make daily with their programs. Maybe you’ve already been scammed by one of these fraudsters. Anyway, I finally got sick of what was being offered. I decided I’d look through the all of the “get rich quick” programs I could find and see if there were any that were actually legitimate. I found that there were owners selling their programs for well over $100, but the information in them could be found almost anywhere online for free. Additionally, they all contained out-of-date information, had no e-mail support, no money back guarantees, and broken links in the downloads section. In conclusion, almost all of the programs I found were completely useless. The owners knew it, but they couldn’t care less about their customers since they didn’t offer refund policies! Amazingly, while looking through all of the programs, I actually did find a few legitimate programs. They were run by ordinary people like you and me, and they had found some great methods of making money from their home by doing very little work. I spent some time working with those programs, and my income is now ten times what it used to be. These programs provided a large amount of great information on how to make extra money on your computer doing very little work. Numerous customers had provided great feedback and reviews for their products. Many of them have started to make money just days after buying! Their programs have excellent prices, and the authors have a group of paid staff who are dedicating to helping you or providing assistance if you need any. I must say I was amazed! If you do decide to purchase any of the programs listed below, I recommend you join quickly. Most of the owners tell me they are getting an overwhelming number of sales and plan on raising prices in the near future, so order while prices are still low! To Your Online Success, highergrnd
Art may truly be in the eye of the beholder. What some experts deem “art” leaves those less educated in art history scratching their heads. But one thing is certain: art has become an integral part of interior decorating for the home. From throw pillows featuring exotic fabrications and finely crafted baskets to hand painted silks and children’s hand-painted furniture, art in the home is here to stay.
Hand painted silks are especially appealing, and can add elegance and sophistication to interiors. Silk paintings for wall displays use high quality dyes on luxurious silk that look gorgeous in frames. Hand painted silks can also be used for screens, giving an exotic and highly appealing theme to a boudoir. Similarly, abstract silk scarves draped over chair backs or nightstands add a subtle beauty to a dressing area. Decorative hand painted silk pillowcases can also provide a colorful contrast to solid color bedding and walls.
Hand painted silks and dyed silks have a rich and ancient tradition. Experts speculate that silk was first developed between 5,000 and 6,000 years ago in China, and was used as an elegant fabric for garments and, eventually, as an important component of the country’s trade. Indeed, the 5,000-mile “Silk Road” connected China to Persia, India, Egypt (where mummies were sometimes wrapped in silk), and Rome.
In India, Kanchi silk was and is woven and hand-dyed, and treasured for its superior craftsmanship and vibrant colors. Silk played an important role in the Roman Empire, and used to clothe emperors and as diplomatic gifts.
Most people are familiar with batik, a silk painting method that dates back more than 1,800 years. Batik is termed a “resist” technique because wax is applied to the fabric to make it “resist” penetration by the dye. Often, a fabric is waxed and dyed many consecutive times in order to incorporate many colors into the fabric.
Another “resist” method utilizes “gutta,” a derivative of the Indonesian Palaquim tree that is a natural latex. Gutta is most often used with the French Serti silk painting method. The consistency of gutta is similar to that of rubber cement, and is not as easily removed as wax or water-based gutta.
Today, artists use a variety of silk dyes and paints to achieve breathtakingly beautiful contemporary art. Those that produce the most vivid colors are dyes that require steaming in order to bond with the fabric. Paints used for hand painted silk are often the consistency of watercolors, and are set by using an iron.
When decorating your home, keep in mind that not all hand painted silks incorporate Asian themes. Contemporary images and colors abound, and you’re sure to find silk scarves, silk framed art, silk pillowcases, and silk panels that complement your decorating scheme.
No home office is complete without an Internet connection, because more and more business is being conducted on the Internet, and if you are not connected you are missing out on a great opportunity to connect with your clients, potential clients and of course your suppliers. Internet access will provide you with many opportunities to increase your productivity, although you will want to be careful that you do not use the Internet as a distraction or that it doesn’t become one by accident.
The first thing that you will need to do is to contact your local Internet provider. There may be a few in your area, so shop around for the best deal before you sign up. Often there are Internet providers competing for your business so you should get a good deal. There will be a few different levels of service and speed that you can choose from. If you are going to be sending a lot of files, or large files through the Internet, you will want high speed service. However, if you do not plan on using the Internet much, you may want to opt for a dial up connection if you are on a budget. Do bear in mind that dialup is being offered by fewer Internet providers each and every day.
Once you have the Internet access you will need to set up an email account for your business for clients to contact you. More and more people are using email to contact friends and family so you will not want to miss out of this invaluable connection tool. When you set up an email address you should keep it simple and easy to remember. However, it is important to keep it professional aswell. Keep it as close to the name of your business as possible.
If you really want to maximize your growth and productivity, you should consider starting a webpage for your business. A webpage is a great way to tell people about you and what you do. On your webpage you can easily show off your skills, or pictures of your products. Include information on pricing or rates to make it simple for potential clients. And be sure that you make it easy for potential clients to contact you if they have more questions. With more and more people surfing the Internet these days, you can take advantage of this inexpensive marketing tool.
While having Internet access is a great boost to your business, you must be careful to avoid the trap of the Internet as well. It is easy to get lost surfing the Internet or sending emails and lose productivity. Be sure that you monitor yourself to stay productive while you are working from home. It is a good idea to turn your email off and only check it at designated times every day instead of every time you get a new message. At least this way you can stay focused on the tasks you need to complete – those that are a priority.
No one would argue that there’s a growing consciousness about the impact that we, as humans, have on the environment. While much of the media’s focus has been on greenhouse gas emissions and the ways we can lessen our carbon footprint, less attention has been paid to the impact that conventional cleaning products and methods have on our health and on the environment. Although chlorofluorocarbons have long been recognized as contributing to the depletion of the earth’s ozone layer, and have been largely eliminated from consumer products, conventional cleaning products continue to have a detrimental effect on the environment. To that end, there has been a wave of “green cleaning” products entering the marketplace.
Traditional Cleaning Products
Most traditional cleaning products contain a variety of potentially harmful chemicals, in part because they are largely unregulated and in part because there are few labeling requirements. For example, many cleaning products contain phosphates (which are also a primary component of many fertilizers), which can contaminate water and rob lakes and rivers of oxygen. Likewise, many cleaning products with dyes and fragrances contain phthalates, and most incorporate other organic compounds into their formulas. Together, these chemicals can have adverse effects on the neurological functions, respiration, and reproductive organs of humans and wildlife. Our use of several different cleaning agents at once (a window cleaner, a basin cleanser, and a toilet bowl cleaner, for example) can exacerbate the products’ effects on our health.
Green Cleaning Products
In response to the growing concern about the chemicals in cleaning products and their adverse effects on our health and on the health of our planet, green cleaning products are being touted. Some companies that make green products ban certain chemicals, and others make it a point to fully disclose all ingredients on labels. What they don’t tell you, though, is that it’s absolutely possible to have a clean home without using any cleaning products at all. Cleaning without products may take a bit more elbow grease, but water alone will do the trick.
Why Water and a Cloth Works Just as Well
For the environmentally conscious, one of the best cleaning tools is a cloth – some would say the ultimate cloth – that uses mirafiber to produce a streak free, spot free, lint free, and dust free finish. Using this type of cloth means that you don’t have to use paper towels, which add to the waste that negatively impacts the environment. Moreover, this ultimate cloth is usually guaranteed to last five years, making it decidedly eco-friendly. Because it’s washable and bleachable, it can be used over and over again on virtually any surface, from windows and glass to stainless steel and Corian. Basically, you just wet it, wring it, wipe your surface, and walk away. This ultimate cloth saves time, saves money, and, most importantly, helps save the earth.
Many people dream of setting up a home-based business, but it takes hard work, persistence and a willingness to wait for results. If you are thinking about starting up on your own, make sure you write a list of your reasons for doing so. When the going gets tough you can go back to your list to remind yourself of why you’re doing it and to reactivate your motivation. Here are some valid reasons for going it alone. Add your own to the list.
You want to make a lot more money than you earn in your present job
With so little job security around these days, more of us are finding we have to work long hours to keep the boss happy. And if we don’t toe the line, we know there are plenty of people who will be only to happy to step into our shoes. But is it worth all the hard grind, just to put extra money in someone else’s pocket? Achieving financial freedom is high on most people’s list.
You want to get a life beyond the office
Money isn’t the only important thing in life and what’s the point of earning it if you don’t have the chance to enjoy it? Work may play a significant role in our definition of who we are, but it certainly shouldn’t be all that we are. Whilst starting up a business is very time-consuming, the ultimate goal is to create enough recurring income to give ourselves more free time. This is not possible in a job, except for a very fortunate few.
You want to stop commuting for hours every week
Many people spend several hours a day getting to and from work. This is stressful at the best of times, but add traffic jams, overcrowded trains and bad weather and this is enough to exhaust anyone before they have even started work. Facing the same journey on the way home can lead to the inability to relax and enjoy what’s left of the day.
You want a more flexible lifestyle
Deciding your own working hours will enable you to fit in many other activities which you would otherwise miss ? watching the kids perform in the school play or concert, taking part in a sport or other hobby, spending time with friends and relatives who are in town on holiday.
You want to cut down on childcare costs
In many families with young children, both parents are obliged to work in order to make ends meet, but often find that one of their salaries is almost completely swallowed up by childcare costs. If one partner is working online, hours can be fitted around those of the partner working outside the home, eliminating or at least reducing the need for paid childcare.
You want to something you really enjoy
How many of us really enjoy working for an employer? The job may be exciting at first, but it’s all too easy to get bogged down in paperwork, boring routine tasks and office politics. You might have to do all the menial jobs when you start your own business, but the day will come when you can hire someone else to do them!
The final reason is really an combination of the first six:
You want to take control of your life
As your business grows, you’ll find you have the power to make more decisions about how you live your life ? where you live, when you take holidays, when you retire, how you spend your free time.
If you are thinking of setting up a business online, decide which reasons are most important to you, then write them in large letters on a piece of paper and stick it where you’ll see it every day. That way you won’t lose sight of why you want to change your life.
? Waller Jamison 2006
These days just about everybody needs more money. Gas prices are high and going higher, interest rates keep inching up, prescription and insurance rates are hitting new records, and the cost of raising a child is triple what it was when we were kids.
Add to that, jobs aren’t what they used to be. Studies show one worker is now doing what three workers were expected to do 20 years ago. You work your fingers to the bone and all for pay that never seems to improve. Your average corporate job now requires 60 hours of work per week, stagnant pay, and little chance of longterm stability.
If any of this sounds familiar to you — and for millions of us it should — YOU are exactly the kind of person who needs their own home-based business.
Running a business out of your house or apartment is the perfect way to earn plenty of extra cash. Usually your overhead is almost nonexistent (no office rent, employees, or additional utilities) and often you can deduct from your taxes everything from part of your mortgage payment to other house-hold expenses.
“That sounds GREAT!” you say, “but I’ve got to keep working my job. I hardly have time to sit down, much less run my own business!”
Don’t worry. These days big advances in automated marketing, outsourced selling, and automatic product delivery mean you can literally run your home-based business in your sleep. I know people running these kinds of business who are earning thousands per week while working as little as a few minutes per week. All they do is check their sales statistics and pull their checks out of the mailbox.
Here’s how it works:
Modern search engine marketing pulls in huge numbers of targeted prospects to state of the art web sites. These sites educate the prospect and send the best to a professional sales team who separate the real business builders from the tire-kickers. Only then, when the sales team has pre-sold the customer, are these folks delivered to you. They’re raring to go and want to buy or join your program NOW!
With this kind of system you can sell your existing products or service OR simply sell the system to others. I typically earn several thousand dollars per sale.
And that brings us to the next point. This kind of very advanced marketing and sales program can easily sell high-priced products. Instead of getting little one and two dollar commissions like most MLM, direct sales, and affiliate programs offer, you earn thousands per sale.
Best of all, you do very little work with this kind of advanced system. You don’t need special training, ability, or even much money to get started. You simply turn on the switch, sit back, and watch the cash roll in.
Years go this might have been too good to be true, but today’s completely automated home-based businesses are the real thing. And they’re coming at a time when millions of people world-wide could make very good use of them.
Earlier in the year I wrote an article about Google’s policy changes and how it affected the home based affiliate. It was centered around the policy changes made in January of 2005 and was a review of the changes I had seen over a year I wrote in the article the importance of writing quality landing pages for affiliate links and incorporating the links into article type formats. The benefits of doing this was to offset Google’s policy of only one url per site including merchant and all affiliate urls in the sponsored advertising column of Google’s search result pages. By creating a keyword relevant web page and doing minimal seo work it is possible to offset and in fact even work this policy to your advantage.
Now it seems not only does Google want to limit their sponsored results obtained through ppc to one url per program but that they are making a concerted effort to totally eliminate all affiliate links from ppc results by placing the minimum bid beyond the range of the normal work at home affiliate. How they have justified this is by claiming to installed a page quality ranking system where by pages with low ranking will have excessively higher minimum bids. In fact many webmasters are now reporting bids starting at ten dollars us per click. One poor chap was selling a product for $4.95. So even if he had a 100 percent sales rate on his paid for clicks he would be making a US 5.05 dollar lose every click. His business is basically wiped out till he can organize an alternative supplier of traffic.
Now I see the long term wisdom of Google doing this, They have to protect their business and with the poor or sometimes not quite relevant or duplicate results returned it is easy to see users becoming immune or ignoring all together the sponsored ads. We all saw how quickly banner advertising lost its effectiveness. What I do find a little unnerving is the seemly arrogance and perhaps short sightedness by doing this in the manner they have. Surely they would have been better served to have given some warning the reasons behind the changes rather than state your website lacks relevance and quality if you improve this we will look into the situation with your site. As it stands now looking through forums that cater to the ppc webmasters it is apparent that Google is going to lose a large portion of their adwords accounts to other providers.
Now on the other hand those with adsense accounts should of noticed some significant increase in the amount their clicks were paid at. I for one have not. Which surprised me having a website in the serps on page one for the keywords work at home on three of the four most used search engines. The number one spot on Google.com for keywords earn online business and many combinations of this centered around keyword phrases using earn, online, home, business, money, work, opportunity. So where is the entire extra click through bid cash going too it certainly isn’t my account. In fact this week I’ve noticed increase of only a few cents per click.
One perhaps short term benefit Is I now see a lot of products mainly ebooks and web site portal generators for Adsense that promised to show the purchasers how to make huge income from click arbitrage now being given away in joint venture promotions and freebies for joining subscriber lists. Probably these entrepreneurs have contributed more to this change needing to be implemented more than any other single other factor. As they are responsible for the huge number of sites that have sprung up to cash in on click arbitrage and as the products didn’t have the right formulas to get listed in the serps they had a total reliance on ppc traffic.
Somehow I get the feeling this is only the beginning So if you read my previous article Has Google’s New Policy Released In January Signalled the End of Work From Home Business Affiliate Links? then you better get concentrating on creating some relevant content laden landing pages for your work from home affiliate links.
There are many ways to make money at home in a legitimate home based business opportunity. The reason why you have an
interest in working from home will determine which path you may want to follow. Some corporate business have arrangements where they encourage employees to work from home while others can set you up as an independent contractor. That is, you are basically self employed and have the benefits of working for yourself like maximum freedom for your schedule and are paid based on the amount of work done. This may include the number of hours on the telephone answering customer service requests, or being logged into a computer being productive.
Most working from home arrangements include some type of working for yourself, but the growth of working from home for a large corporation shouldn’t be ignored. There are many formal companies that are actively encouraging it’s employees to work from home or sign up for several other flexible work methods. The reason for this is simply cost. Sun Microsystems continues to be a very strong supporter of having their people work from home at least part of the time. Without the need for ongoing formal office space for each employee, the company saves money and there’s less stress on the environment caused by the daily commute to and from work. The benefits to the employee are obvious.
So a good option, if you don’t mind the corporate culture and environment, is to find an employer who encourages work from
home opportunities. Remember these are legitimate home based business opportunities that set you up as an employee or an
independent contractor.
Even if the thought of joining corporate business is not appealing however, I encourage you to at least consider the possibilities. The reason is that if a company has embraced the idea of working at home, they’ve probably also thought about flex time and flexible work hours. If these are your primary interests that led to looking for legitimate home based business opportunities, then by all means check out corporate business with flex work options
One place to look for these corporate businesses are in the top 100 or top 500 best business lists put out yearly by several major business magazines. If they are recognized as being the best for employees, the likelihood of them offering flex work options like home based business opportunities is much greater. Another good place to check is on the various job posting boards like monster.com and careerbuilder.com When checking the job boards however, use the search capability for specific words and be sure not to limit yourself to just your local area. After all, what difference does it make where you’re located if you work from home.

Autoresponders are a perfect way to increase traffic to your site. They can save many valuable hours by automatically answering emails concerning frequently asked questions about a service or product or by sending a welcome letter to new members of your program. There are many ways that autoresponders can help your business. One of the most important is their ability to track the effectiveness of your promotions. Since autoresponders are one of the most popular marketing tools available today, they are being used by a lot of different kinds of business and websites. Some of these take advantage of the system to use the autoresponders in a negative manner. You should be aware of some of the “Golden Rules” when using autoresponders.
Thou Shalt Not Use an Autoresponder Address When Submitting to Search Engines.
Since you will most likely submit your site to search engines such as Google or Yahoo!, directories, classifieds, and free for all sites, you should be made aware of the fact that these sites commonly an autoresponder as well. If you were to use your autoresponder to contact these companies, their autoresponder will reply to yours and so on and so on. Thus creating a cycle of autoresponses that will flood your email box and theirs as well.
Thou Shalt Not Use an Autoresponder to Subscribe to Ezines or Discussion Forums.
Since most of the time an Ezine will send you updates and new information regularly, your auto responder will send them a message each time. In a discussion forum, every person in the discussion forum will receive your auto response. This can be irritating and most of the time you will be unsubscribed. It is often hard for the administrators of the forum or ezine to determine who is using the autoresponse and therefore it is simply common courtesy to never use an autoresponer in this manner.
Thou Shalt Not Use an Autoresponder to Take Advantage Of Unsuspecting Individuals.
Some very unprofessional companies will use autoresponders to respond to an automated message when this is done the address in the “from” field will be
automatically subscribed to their mailing list. This is a extremely un ethical use of autoresponders and those who do it are in jeopardy of creating a very negative image of themselves and their company. Rather than promote their service or business, this usually leads to people becoming very upset and spreading a negative word about your company rather than a good one.
The Internet can be a great place to do business and autoresponders can be an excellent way to save time, however when used in an unprofessional way, they can lead to frustration and aggravation for others. Your company will suffer the loss of much business if you choose to participate in these abusive practices. The appropriate use of auto responders can generate a
large amount of business, while inappropriate use can drive away that business.
