Furthermore, programs can be flat fee, or commission-based. &lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;" src="http://webgate3000.com/uploaded_images/make-big-money-at-home-work-webmaster-business-791215.jpg" border="0" alt="uploaded_images/make-big-money-at-home-work-webmaster-business" /&gt; They can be single tier, two tier (rewarding those who bring in new affiliates) and multi-tier.  Each type of program has its advantages and disadvantages, and each is relevant to different sites and situations. Commission-based Affiliate Programs Commission-based programs are by far the most common type of affiliate program. They are nearly always pay per sale programs, i.e. they pay a predetermined % commission on the revenue generated by the sale of products or services to a visitor who came from your site. Some programs offer incentives to more productive webmasters in the form of an increased commission share on a sliding scale, or by offering their best-performing &lt;a style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: #dd6599; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://www.webtraffic3000.com/iresults.php?aff=8105&amp;amp;subaff=8&amp;amp;qq=webmasters+cash"&gt;webmasters cash&lt;/a&gt; bonuses or prizes. Many programs operate on a flat commission rate, irrespective of the volume of sales. A few curious programs "penalize success" by capping or reducing commissions once affiliates go over a certain monthly revenue level (e.g. an &lt;a style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: #dd6599; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://www.webtraffic3000.com/iresults.php?aff=8105&amp;amp;subaff=8&amp;amp;qq=affiliate+program"&gt;affiliate program&lt;/a&gt; may pay out a maximum of $500 monthly commission per affiliate). Always read the fine print of the Affiliate Agreement carefully to avoid affiliate programs that tie your hands in this way. Flat-fee Affiliate Programs (per-lead and per-sale) Although somewhat less popular than commission-based programs, many affiliate programs operate on a flat-fee basis. Essentially, a flat-fee &lt;a style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: #dd6599; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://www.webtraffic3000.com/iresults.php?aff=8105&amp;amp;subaff=8&amp;amp;qq=referral"&gt;referral&lt;/a&gt; program will pay you a predetermined amount for every visitor who carries out at least one purchase or other transaction at the merchant's site, irrespective of the ticket value of that transaction. Flat-fee programs can be as simple as "US$10 per new customer" or "US$5 per order", or they can have more complex fee structures depending on what mix of products or services was sold and how many leads or sales the affiliate closed that month. Some flat-fee programs operate on a per-sale basis. In other words, visitors have to actually purchase and pay for a product or service in order for you to qualify for the referral &lt;a style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: #dd6599; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://www.webtraffic3000.com/iresults.php?aff=8105&amp;amp;subaff=8&amp;amp;qq=commission"&gt;commission&lt;/a&gt;. Other flat-fee programs, such as those for &lt;a style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: #dd6599; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://www.webtraffic3000.com/iresults.php?aff=8105&amp;amp;subaff=8&amp;amp;qq=loans"&gt;loans&lt;/a&gt; and mortgages, &lt;a style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: #dd6599; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://www.webtraffic3000.com/iresults.php?aff=8105&amp;amp;subaff=8&amp;amp;qq=insurance"&gt;insurance&lt;/a&gt; policies and so on, generally operate on a per-lead basis. Each qualifying lead earns you the referral fee. The criteria for qualification can range anywhere from "visitor supplies their name and address" to "visitor completes a multi-page survey and responds to an initial follow-up telephone inquiry." The exact criteria vary with each affiliate program. Pay per click programs Pay-per-Click affiliate programs (also known as click-through programs) pay a small amount for every visitor sent to the target site. Typical payments range from $0.01 to $0.20 or more per visitor. Some pay-per-click programs pay on a second-page-click basis: you will only get paid if a visitor from your site clicks on one of the links on the page they get to after reaching the affiliate site. Always read the details of each program carefully to find out whether you're going to be paid on a first-page or second-page-click basis as this will have a huge impact on your potential earnings. Typically, requiring a second-page click can cut earnings by 75%-90% compared to a straight clickthough program. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Single-tier Affiliate Programs Single-tier affiliate programs offer the most straightforward tiered structure. Essentially, they are a flat program that rewards only direct transactions i.e. transactions that the affiliate has generated. There is no reward on offer for signing up other affiliates. Single-tier affiliate programs are suitable for any site; your earnings will depend entirely on how well you are able to "pre-sell" the product or service on offer, how many visitors you can send to the target merchant, and how well they are able to work to monetize your traffic. Two-tier Affiliate Programs Two-tier affiliate programs reward affiliates in two ways: they reward transactions generated by affiliates, but they also have a system in place to reward affiliates for bringing new affiliates into the program. This is the "second tier" part of two-tier affiliate programs. Second-tier &lt;a style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: #dd6599; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://www.webtraffic3000.com/iresults.php?aff=8105&amp;amp;subaff=8&amp;amp;qq=Payments"&gt;payments&lt;/a&gt; can be made on a commission or flat-fee basis. For example, an affiliate program might pay affiliates 20% commission on the transactions they generate, plus 5% of the total earnings of the affiliates that sign up directly under them (that's 5% of 20%, of course). Alternatively, they may pay a flat affiliate referral fee, for example "US$10 bonus for each new affiliate you refer that produces at least US$25 in sales." Two-tier &lt;a style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: #dd6599; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://www.webtraffic3000.com/iresults.php?aff=8105&amp;amp;subaff=8&amp;amp;qq=Affiliate+programs"&gt;affiliate programs&lt;/a&gt; are good for affiliates who believe they can recruit other productive affiliates. However, you should be wary of any affiliate program that places more emphasis on the earnings to be made by recruiting other affiliates than on the earnings from sales - after all, ultimately someone has to close those sales! You should also be suspicious of programs structured with a very low first-tier payout but a very high second-tier commission - again, that type of structure emphasises the recruiting of affiliates over the sale of products. Two-tier programs are less attractive for affiliates who don't like the idea of essentially recruiting their own competition, or who are exceptionally good at pre-selling &lt;a style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: #dd6599; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://www.webtraffic3000.com/iresults.php?aff=8105&amp;amp;subaff=8&amp;amp;qq=customers"&gt;customers&lt;/a&gt;. In this case, a single-tier affiliate program would be more appropriate. Multi-tier Affiliate Programs Multi-tier affiliate programs reward affiliates who sign up other affiliates several levels "deep". In other words, you sign up Bob and Bob signs up Sarah and Sarah signs up John, and you get a percentage of Bob's earnings, Sarah's earnings and John's earnings.  The distinction between multi-tier affiliate programs and pyramid schemes is wafer-thin, and one which this site declines to pursue further. You will not find any coverage of multi-tier affiliate programs on SiteCash.com. Key info to take away Affiliate programs can fall into any of the above categories. For example, some programs are single-tier per-click affiliate programs, some are two-tier per-lead programs. Some affiliate programs are hybrids, combining several different types of reward system into a single affiliate program. For example, a program may pay a small amount for every qualified lead, plus a larger &lt;a style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: #dd6599; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://www.webtraffic3000.com/iresults.php?aff=8105&amp;amp;subaff=8&amp;amp;qq=commission"&gt;commission&lt;/a&gt; or per-sale fee for those leads that become customers within a specified period of time.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://webgate3000.com/2007/09/commission-based-affiliate-programs.html' title='Commission-based Affiliate Programs'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20277032&amp;postID=4702448868237675306' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://webgate3000.com/work-at-home-programs.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20277032/posts/default/4702448868237675306'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20277032/posts/default/4702448868237675306'/><author><name>Tata</name></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20277032.post-113977179721457839</id><published>2006-02-12T11:14:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-02-27T09:45:32.963-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Legit Work at Home Jobs</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://webgate3000.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://webgate3000.com/uploaded_images/money_win_casino-757358.gif" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Make Money From Home Computer&lt;br /&gt;InboxDollars gives you the opportunity to earn some extra CA$H.

The option to work at home is a benefit offered by open-minded employers to trusted employees, who work "regular" jobs that are conducive to telecommuting. The need or desire to telecommute alone is not enough to land one of these gigs. You must first qualify for the job itself and land it in the traditional way. Then you'll likely have to negotiate the telecommuting benefit, during an interview or after you've established trust by working in the office for awhile. Many employers who offer telecommuting allow it only part time. So, you'll likely have to live near your employer's office and commute to work one or more days per week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some jobs have a "built-in" telecommuting benefit of sorts, where working from a home office is a normal duty. But, while you might not have to negotiate the telecommuting benefit, reputable employers usually don't call these work at home jobs either, and you likely can't work them solely from home. An example is a sales gig, where you'd spend much of your time on the road covering your territory, calling on customers and selling your employer's products or services. Then you'd spend the rest of your workweek in your home office doing paperwork, contacting customers, arranging appointments, and communicating with your employer by phone or computer. But you might also have to make occasional to frequent appearances at your employer's office for face-to-face meetings and such.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another way to work from home is to become a freelance, independent contractor or consultant. These aren't called work at home jobs either. Rather, you'd be self-employed and as such, may work from wherever you need or want to be. For example, as a freelance you might write articles on your home computer and try to sell them to Websites or magazines. As an independent contractor, you might contract your technical writing skills to high-tech companies for three to six months at a time, and do most of your work on your home computer. As a consultant, you might work as a project manager out of your house, matching clients with vendors to complete printing projects like marketing brochures. In any of these cases, you'll likely have to get out of the house to meet with your editors, clients or vendors. You'll also likely need to network and seek new clients to grow your business. To do so, you'll attend interviews, business luncheons, trade shows or the like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Pure" work at home jobs are not easy to come by. As indicated, most jobs that are conducive to it allow it only part time. So, if you're looking to telecommute across the country or work full time from home, you'll be even harder pressed to find such a gig or start one of your own. You must also contend with thousands of scams.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://webgate3000.com/2006/02/legit-work-at-home-jobs.html' title='Legit Work at Home Jobs'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20277032&amp;postID=113977179721457839' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://webgate3000.com/work-at-home-programs.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20277032/posts/default/113977179721457839'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20277032/posts/default/113977179721457839'/><author><name>Tata</name></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20277032.post-113977152561518859</id><published>2006-02-12T11:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-02-12T11:12:05.616-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Internet business opportunity scammer</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Don't be Fooled by Work at Home...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Testimonials&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You've probably seen these on work at home Websites or by email. Scammers might include such among the "free sales tools" they offer for the fee they charge you. Tools of the trade are precisely what they are, as ropers and shills typically write them, not satisfied consumers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Documented Proof&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some scammers provide bank statements, cleared checks and other documental replications as "proof." But just because the scammers made money at least once, doesn't mean that you will. Besides, with today's computer and printer technology, anybody can counterfeit just about any document and make it look legit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One Internet business opportunity scammer even goes so far as to hype "Federally documented proof." This official-sounding "proof" is nothing more than a bank statement. To imply that a simple bank statement is an official, government-issued document that supports his claims, is outrageous to say the least. But scammers get even more outrageous than this. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Guarantees&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scammers typically word their so-called guarantees to imply that your success is in the bag. For example, something like $10,000 in 90 Days Guaranteed!!! is not uncommon. But it's misrepresentation, plain and simple. Work at home jobs, business opportunities and such can't possibly guarantee you much of anything, except that they'll refund your money if you're not satisfied. Even so, good luck trying to collect a refund from a scam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Media Credentials&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scammers often hype the vague but impressive sales pitch, "As seen on national TV." Just because it was on TV in some way, shape or form—if it was on at all—doesn't make it a legit offer. But scammers know that most consumers trust what appears on TV, even if they didn't actually see it. Scammers are also confident that few know how or will take the time to verify such claims, if they're verifiable at all. Note that scammers rarely offer details, such as the names of the shows on which their offers supposedly appeared, and when and why. Get to the bottom of such vague claims before you let them impress you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same goes for claims of appearing in magazines, newspapers and other publications. For example, the touted publications might not even exist, but the scammers might try to dupe you with names that are close to those of reputable publications. Some do exist, but as nothing more than scams themselves, promoting other scams in seemingly legit articles. The articles are advertisements in disguise, similar to the way infomercials are "enlightening" TV shows in disguise. Free business-opportunity magazines are prime examples. That's exactly why they're free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stock Market Listings&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If they're really listed at all, just because scammers sold stocks to raise capital doesn't make their businesses legit. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is in the business of regulating securities markets, not work at home scams. As long as scammers don't run securities scams, they're relatively safe from SEC intervention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reputable Site Logos&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Websites that issue these logos promise to verify the integrity of work at home job and business opportunity offers at other sites. But some are operated by scammers in cahoots with other scammers. Regardless, scammers can simply steal even legit logos, such as those trademarked by the Better Business Bureau, with a simple right-click of the computer mouse. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Experts&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some so-called work at home experts blatantly tout even the oldest and most obvious of scams. A closer look reveals that their motivations are equally as obvious: They have work at home books, articles, speaking engagements and such to sell. You might have seen their "articles" on Websites that cater to women. Stay-at-home moms are among their prime prey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Better Business Bureau and FTC offer more information about work at home, business-opportunity, and other scams, plus ways to verify offers and file complaints. &lt;br /&gt;Your state attorney general's office might have specific or general information about work at home rip-offs taking place in your area and offer an avenue to file complaints. &lt;br /&gt;If a Web-based work at home scam has already taken advantage of you, you may file a complaint with the Internet Fraud Complaint Center, a partnership between the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National White Collar Crime Center.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://webgate3000.com/2006/02/internet-business-opportunity-scammer.html' title='Internet business opportunity scammer'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20277032&amp;postID=113977152561518859' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://webgate3000.com/work-at-home-programs.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20277032/posts/default/113977152561518859'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20277032/posts/default/113977152561518859'/><author><name>Tata</name></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20277032.post-113977088884161577</id><published>2006-02-12T10:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-02-12T11:01:28.933-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Work at Home Job Scams</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Are There Legit Work at Home Jobs?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are legit work at home jobs, but employers who offer them typically don't call them work at home jobs. The option to work at home is a benefit offered by open-minded employers to trusted employees, who work "regular" jobs that are conducive to telecommuting. The need or desire to telecommute alone is not enough to land one of these gigs. You must first qualify for the job itself and land it in the traditional way. Then you'll likely have to negotiate the telecommuting benefit, during an interview or after you've established trust by working in the office for awhile. Many employers who offer telecommuting allow it only part time. So, you'll likely have to live near your employer's office and commute to work one or more days per week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some jobs have a "built-in" telecommuting benefit of sorts, where working from a home office is a normal duty. But, while you might not have to negotiate the telecommuting benefit, reputable employers usually don't call these work at home jobs either, and you likely can't work them solely from home. An example is a sales gig, where you'd spend much of your time on the road covering your territory, calling on customers and selling your employer's products or services. Then you'd spend the rest of your workweek in your home office doing paperwork, contacting customers, arranging appointments, and communicating with your employer by phone or computer. But you might also have to make occasional to frequent appearances at your employer's office for face-to-face meetings and such.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another way to work from home is to become a freelance, independent contractor or consultant. These aren't called work at home jobs either. Rather, you'd be self-employed and as such, may work from wherever you need or want to be. For example, as a freelance you might write articles on your home computer and try to sell them to Websites or magazines. As an independent contractor, you might contract your technical writing skills to high-tech companies for three to six months at a time, and do most of your work on your home computer. As a consultant, you might work as a project manager out of your house, matching clients with vendors to complete printing projects like marketing brochures. In any of these cases, you'll likely have to get out of the house to meet with your editors, clients or vendors. You'll also likely need to network and seek new clients to grow your business. To do so, you'll attend interviews, business luncheons, trade shows or the like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Pure" work at home jobs are not easy to come by. As indicated, most jobs that are conducive to it allow it only part time. So, if you're looking to telecommute across the country or work full time from home, you'll be even harder pressed to find such a gig or start one of your own. You must also contend with thousands of scams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're not likely to find legitimate work at home jobs advertised as such in the classified sections of tabloids or Web banner ads. For that matter, you'll have a hard time finding them advertised anywhere. They are few and far between. For one reason, reputable employers typically don't call them work at home jobs, as previously mentioned. For another, most employers are not so desperate for people to work from home that they must advertise for them. So, if you go hunting for jobs advertised as "work at home" instead of "regular" jobs for which the employers might allow telecommuting, the only ads you're likely to find are those placed by scammers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;$10,000 PER MONTH&lt;br /&gt;WORKING FROM HOME!!!&lt;br /&gt;No special skills required.&lt;br /&gt;Call for FREE details...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only types of jobs advertised like this are snow jobs, not real jobs. Most are outright scams, and the few that aren't usually turn out to be schemes or unglamorous jobs (such as telemarketing) that don't offer benefits or produce enough income to earn a living. Ads like these are typically nothing more than phase one of baiting campaigns. The advertisers intentionally design them to get you to respond, so they can bombard you with junk mail or telemarketing calls to sell you on their scams. These bombardments are the "free details." But in reality, they're not details at all. They're simply phase two of the baiting campaigns. Naturally, the so-called details are free, as are all advertisements. You'll likely pay for the real details, and even then you'll typically get fraudulent and misleading information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you respond to the ads, you're considered "hot" by the scam artists. Even if you don't buy into their scams and schemes, they make money on you anyway. Once they have your contact information, they sell it to list brokers, who resell it to other scammers. Then the other scammers bombard you too, while you're hot. Hot is just another word for potential sucker to the scammers, and they've been playing this game for years via the classified sections of tabloids and such. Unfortunately, they've discovered the Web and email too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Five Clues of Work at Home Job Scams&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of us would love to work at home. The scammers know that and take full advantage of it. Because legitimate work at home jobs are hard to come by, the scammers lead us to believe that we can buy the privilege. These predators count on a new sucker being born every minute, and thrive on the naive, wishful and desperate. Stay-at-home moms, the elderly, and physically-challenged people who need money most are among their prime prey. Scammers have no ethics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clue 1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your first clue that it's a work at home scam is the fact it's advertised at all, as previously indicated. Whether it's in the back of a tabloid, on a Web site, by email, or even in TV Guide, you can safely assume that all such "opportunities" are scams or at best, schemes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MAKE THOU$AND$&lt;br /&gt;WORKING AT HOME IN YOUR SPARE TIME!&lt;br /&gt;Legitimate homed-based opportunity!&lt;br /&gt;We've helped thousands of people just like you get started.&lt;br /&gt;Send for FREE details NOW...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clue 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your second clue is the tacky overuse of punctuation!!!, $ymbols and UPPERCASE characters, all designed to catch your ad-scanning eye. The ads incorporate eye-catching key words and phrases too, such as free, no work, no special skills required, and get out of bed when you want to. But what type of business truly gives away anything for free or hires lazy, no-account, unskilled employees? Legitimate job ads don't include such. For example, when was the last time you saw a job ad like this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TECH WRITERS!!!&lt;br /&gt;Make THOU$AND$ at IBM!&lt;br /&gt;Work when and where you want!&lt;br /&gt;FREE job application...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clue 3&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your third clue is exaggeration. It doesn't bother scammers at all to bait their potential victims with the absurd, such as checks rolling in effortlessly to the tune of $10,000 per month. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clue 4&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your fourth clue is ambiguity. If it's a real job, then why don't they just tell you what it is, like legit employers do? Again, it's all part of the baiting campaign. Mystery feeds curiosity. The type of "job" and what's involved is not fully apparent until after you pay the fee. It's only then you'll discover you've been duped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clue 5&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fee is your fifth and most important clue, as parting you from your money is exactly what scams are about. Legitimate employers don't charge you to work for them, period. Would IBM charge you a fee to telecommute for them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look for the clues in bulletin-board (forum) message threads, too. Some will resemble the tacky ads above, so it's a no-brainer that they are scams, now that you know. But others are more cleverly disguised as "normal" conversations. It may appear that a few people just got together to casually discuss the "wonderful opportunity" they've found, when in fact, they're scammers and shills working together to bait you. It might also appear that someone simply inquired about work at home or telecommuting jobs, and others came to his or her "rescue." But sometimes, the people posting the inquiries are nothing more than ropers, in cahoots with rescuing scammers. People often do legitimately ask about such, but forum-lurking scammers are poised to pounce as rescuers in that case, too. Originally legitimate or not, message threads that probably include scams have titles similar to those below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is this a scam?&lt;br /&gt;This changed my life!&lt;br /&gt;Perfect Job for Moms!&lt;br /&gt;Finally!!! A REAL Job!!!&lt;br /&gt;I was so darned sick of scams!&lt;br /&gt;Need to work from my home PC.&lt;br /&gt;Is there a real telecommuting job?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Classic Work at Home Job Scams&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work at home jobs are among the oldest of scams and come in many flavors. Among the most common are: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Envelope Stuffing and Assembly or Craft Work &lt;br /&gt;Chain Letters &lt;br /&gt;Multilevel Marketing (MLM) and Pyramid Schemes &lt;br /&gt;Medical Billing &lt;br /&gt;Similar scams are more cleverly disguised as franchises and business opportunities. Among the latest are Internet business opportunities that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) cleverly calls Dot Cons. Scams are far more ranging than these in name, but many are just new twists on the same ol' rip-offs. When it comes to your wallet, they're all exactly the same ol' rip-offs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the work at home business is so darned successful, then why is the advertiser trying to sell you the idea instead of just doing the business for his or herself? If you had a genuine, hot, money-making business, would you want anyone else to know your secret? Of course not. In many cases, reselling the idea or "secret" is the business, and you have to stick it to others as you were stuck. Only the originators of these scams make any real money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To avoid falling victim, never pay fees or do business with "companies" that operate exclusively by phone, mail or email.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://webgate3000.com/2006/02/work-at-home-job-scams.html' title='Work at Home Job Scams'/><link rel='related' href='http://webgate3000.com' title='Work at Home Job Scams'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20277032&amp;postID=113977088884161577' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://webgate3000.com/work-at-home-programs.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20277032/posts/default/113977088884161577'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20277032/posts/default/113977088884161577'/><author><name>Tata</name></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20277032.post-113876245792775661</id><published>2006-01-31T18:53:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-31T18:54:17.946-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Individual State Lottery Games</title><content type='html'>Individual State Lottery Games&lt;br /&gt;All state lottery drawings for Pick-3, Pick-4 games where they exist and the specialized games for each state as follows: (click on the State Name to see our overview page for that state) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arizona Lottery games include The Pick, Fantasy 5, and Pick 3.&lt;br /&gt;California Lottery games include California Super Lotto Plus, California Fantasy 5, and Pick 3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colorado Lottery games include Lotto and Cash 5.&lt;br /&gt;Connecticut has  Classic Lotto and Cash 5 as well as Pick-3 and 4 twice each day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Delaware has Lotto as well as Midday and Evening Pick-3 and Pick-4.&lt;br /&gt;District of Columbia (DC) has DC Quick Cash and DC Hot Five along with Pick-3 and Pick4 both MidDay and Evening &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Florida Lottery games include the famous Florida Lotto, Fantasy 5, Mega Money as well as Pick3 and Pick4&lt;br /&gt;Georgia hosts the Fantasy 5 and two daily sessions of Pick3 and Pick4.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Idaho has  the Pick 3&lt;br /&gt;Illinois Lottery has a regular Lotto and a Little Lotto as well as the Illinois Midday and Evening Pick-3 and Pick-4.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indiana of course has the Hoosier Lotto, Lucky 5 Lotto and Midday and regular Pick-3 and Pick-4.&lt;br /&gt;Iowa hosts the Cash Game, Freeplay and Pick-3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kansas sports the Super Kansas Cash, Winners Take All and once a day Pick3.&lt;br /&gt;Kentucky plays Cash Ball and Powerball along with twice daily Picks both 3 &amp; 4.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Louisiana plays Lotto, Cash Quest and daily Pick drawings 3 &amp; 4.&lt;br /&gt;Maryland has Lotto, Bonus Match 5, Cash in Hand along with Midday and Evening Pick games both Pick3 and Pick4.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Massachusetts plays for  Millions, Megabucks and Mash Cash along with Pick4 once daily.&lt;br /&gt;Michigan plays for Millions.

I have NOT become a millionaire despite 99% of those e-books promises you would. This is all part of the journey. Many people give up before they find out the true secrets of making money o­nline. I was just to stubborn to quit. The idea is simple, the more time you invest into your business, the more money you will make.&lt;br /&gt;Ever wonder if you could get rich working from home, using the power of the internet. The answer is yes! Angry because web site after web site promises you the world, and o­nly succeeded in taking your money! Don't fall into this trap over and over again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am just like you, I was o­nce interested in learning more about working from home, I can't stand working for anyone. So the o­nly way out of this endless loop of making others rich off of your hard work is to work for yourself. I had NO idea what I was doing, how to get started, and scared of the endless Scams! I delved into countless hours of research, purchased e-books, and read free articles. I took o­ne step forward and ten back, this was very frustrating, especially with my limited funds. I spent over a year of research o­n home based businesses. I have NOT become a millionaire despite 99% of those e-books promises you would. This is all part of the journey. Many people give up before they find out the true secrets of making money o­nline. I was just to stubborn to quit. The idea is simple, the more time you invest into your business, the more money you will make. It takes work o­n your part. That's right you lazy a$$. You actually have to work at it. That means no more buying e-book after e-book hoping that it will make money for you while you do nothing. It's not as easy as they make it sound, you have to be willing to learn, so if you're not internet savvy like me in the beginning, you will have to be realistic. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're not a total loser and you don't want to live paycheck to paycheck for the rest of your life then put some effort into it. There is no business that is thriving by accident, so why do you think your business will thrive if you don't work at it. In time it will become easy and almost automatic. It does take some time. Depending o­n how much you already know, how much time you invest, and how quick you learn. Don't be disappointed if your business doesn't balloon in a month. You WILL start seeing your efforts pay off! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to save you some money and time with the things I learned. However If you are just dumb enough to continually invest in the MANY programs and e-books out there that promise you the world and deliver nothing. Go ahead, just do me a favor and leave know. Don't follow my links, and don't buy anything. I don't want the thought of you wasting your money o­n my mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is so much misleading information out there o­n the work from home (get rich quick) businesses promising you thousands in your pocket in weeks! They show you their massive fortune made in a matter of months! Leading you to believe that anyone can make that kind of money right out of the gate. Even if you don't know anything about what you are doing. Yeah right. Get a clue. The people making thousands a month are marketing experts that have been in the business for years. Not a beginner like you or me! In time you can achieve this, and no you won't be broke, you just won't make 20 thousand in your fist month. If you do let me know what you did J . To be successful in this business you must be stubborn, positive, and believe in yourself. Don't be a loser and waste your money o­n useless information.there are programs out their that can help, you just have to invest in the right o­ne&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The First recommendation I have found to be extremely useful. I highly recommend starting with it. It is an e-book called The Rich Jerk. This e-book is Just MY Recommendation, and I have found it to be invaluable. I HIGHLY recommend (The Rich Jerk). This is the best e-book I have read with the most useful information. He offers many different strategies to get money coming in from different resources. I have found quite a few of his strategies to be GUARANTEED moneymakers! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;www.websupremacy.net&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second program I can Recommend is C.W.B (Coastal Wealth Builders). This is a fantastic work from home opportunity. Ask yourself this, given you had the money and time what would you like to do more. I guarantee you that traveling was o­ne of the things that popped up in your mind. With that knowledge what better to offer working from home than travel packages. You don't have to sell anything, or have marketing experience, although that would help. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once set up they provide you with four websites, and you have a mentor that is always there to help. Even If your mentor is busy, someone is always willing to help. Even though they don't get paid for it. Their support system is amazing. These people will conduct a sort of interview with you and won't even take you if they feel you are not right for his system. So you can't fail, unless you're a loser and quit. http://www.justinjones.buildcoastalwealth.com/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sad. I have o­nly three recommendations in all this time? The third and last Recommendation is not like the others. You become an affiliate of Dish Network. They give you an affiliate website and all you have to do is get your site seen. I hope you are not a wimp and that did not scare you. That part is easy. You could just use a ppc (pay per click). You get $50 for every Free satellite system installation you give away. That's right. It's that easy. Even if you bid $2 o­n a ppc and o­nly had a 10% conversion rate you still would be doing good. If 100 people clicked o­n your ad that would be $200 if you bid $2 which is high . With a 10% conversion rate (ten people) that would give you $500. That's a $300 profit. It is not a get rich quick, but If you put enough time and effort into it you could find yourself quitting your job. When you go here you want to click o­n Affiliate Program.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://webgate3000.com/2006/01/home-based-businesses.html' title='home based businesses'/><link rel='related' href='http://webtraffic3000.com' title='home based businesses'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20277032&amp;postID=113638665796087361' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://webgate3000.com/work-at-home-programs.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20277032/posts/default/113638665796087361'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20277032/posts/default/113638665796087361'/><author><name>Tata</name></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20277032.post-113638637186158105</id><published>2006-01-04T06:50:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-04T06:52:51.863-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Working from home</title><content type='html'>Working from home is a dream for many – but actually going ahead and starting a home business is very difficult. So what makes so many people want to do it, and why would you ever try such a crazy thing? Here are some common reasons, and some things to consider.&lt;br /&gt;You Can Build Your Great Idea&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It suddenly hit you like a bolt of lightning: you’ve thought of a great business idea. This is perhaps the number o­ne reason that people go into business from home: they’ve come up with something great that they really believe in, but can’t afford to rent any business premises. It does depend o­n what the business is, but working from home is often ideal in these situations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, though, that even the best ideas take hard work to become a reality. The kind of ideas that are good for a home-based business are o­nes that can become at least partly real quickly, and start bringing in an income – you shouldn’t sit at home for a year working o­n something that’s making you nothing whatsoever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You Can Make Your Hobby a Job&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people have something that they’re really passionate about, and would spend the rest of their life doing if they could, just for the enjoyment of it. Getting paid for doing what you love is obviously appealing – even if you o­nly earn a living wage, it’d be your idea of paradise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure, though, that you’d be able to take it if you had to make a living from your passion. It’s the things we’re closest to that hurt us the most – think of how you might feel if no-one buys what you’ve made, or if they send it back and with a note saying “what rubbish, I demand a refund!” Can you cope with your hobby becoming commercial?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You’re Tired of Your Boss&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems like everyone hates their boss. They try to pretend like they’re your friend, but they’re not fooling anyone, are they? You’re forced to work to pointless deadlines and targets. Anytime you spot a better way of doing something you’re told that it’s impractical, or, worse, that it’s great but the stupid way of doing things is already ‘established’ and ‘policy’.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What you might not realise is that ‘being your own boss’ requires quite a lot of willpower. If there was no-one to make you get up in the morning and do any work, would you? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your home is supposed to be a place of rest and entertainment – and when it’s full of the equipment and temptation to do anything but work, working there can be hard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You Want to Spend More Time with Your Family&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You feel like all you do is go to work, come home, and then sit around, too tired to do anything fun with your family. If you have children, they seem to be growing up so fast, and you’re missing it all – all because you have to go out and work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, the flipside here is that you might just end up spending too much time with your family, while you’re trying to work. When everyone knows you’ll be in the house all day, they’ll probably ask you to do all sorts of unimportant things, just because you’re available. It’s hard to say no, &lt;br /&gt;and before you know it, you’re doing the job of a full-time ‘housewife’ instead of what you set out to do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You Don’t Like Wasting Time and Money Commuting&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all, o­nce you get to the office, what is there anyway? Offices are dreary environments, and terrible to work in – travelling for hours there and back and spending a significant proportion of your wages to do it seems completely pointless (especially if you live in the middle of nowhere). If you could work from home, think of the time you’d save… and time is money, isn’t it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t be surprised, however, if you start to feel trapped in your home, since you never leave it. Can you find good ways to get away from it all?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Don’t Be Put Off&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the list of warnings for working at home might look long, a list of warnings about working in an office would surely be longer. As long as you stay o­n your guard, you can get all the benefits of working from home without falling into any of the traps.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://webgate3000.com/2006/01/working-from-home.html' title='Working from home'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20277032&amp;postID=113638637186158105' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://webgate3000.com/work-at-home-programs.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20277032/posts/default/113638637186158105'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20277032/posts/default/113638637186158105'/><author><name>Tata</name></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20277032.post-113580230485445103</id><published>2005-12-28T12:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-12-28T12:38:24.856-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Make Money Online</title><content type='html'>Make Money Online So You Can Work From Home By Learning How To Use Online Auctions As Traffic Generators Along With Google Adsense &lt;br /&gt;Make Money Online So You Can Work From Home By Learning How To Use Online Auctions As Traffic Generators Along With Google Adsense&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are thousands of online auctions on the internet. People love them because they can usually find great bargains. If you have an online business, you can use them to increase traffic to your web site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You could create an electronic book or report that relates to your online business, then auction it off at an online auction. You could increase traffic to your web site by placing an ad for your web site in the electronic publication. Some online auctions will even allow you to link directly to your web site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Electronic publications won't cost you anything to ship. You could send them via e-mail or allow people to download the electronic publication from your web site. You can also auction them off for a lower price. When they visit your web site you could offer them a higher priced product.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You could also get traffic from people who don't bid or don't get the winning bid. You could direct them to your web site to download and read a free sample of the ebook or report before they bid. If they want more detailed information about the ebook or report, you could also direct them to your web site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can also get traffic to your web site by auctioning a physical product. Print your web site advertisement on a flyer or brochure then insert it into each product package you ship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before you start auctioning any product at an online auction, read the terms and conditions. Some auctions may not allow the auctioning of electronic products or directly linking to your web site where you have other products for sale.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://webgate3000.com/2005/12/make-money-online_28.html' title='Make Money Online'/><link rel='related' href='http://www.webgate3000.com/index.html' title='Make Money Online'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20277032&amp;postID=113580230485445103' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://webgate3000.com/work-at-home-programs.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20277032/posts/default/113580230485445103'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20277032/posts/default/113580230485445103'/><author><name>Tata</name></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20277032.post-113580204767623932</id><published>2005-12-28T12:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-04T07:01:39.503-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Work From Home To Make Money Online</title><content type='html'>Work From Home To Make Money Online By Learning How To Get Free Advertising By Participating In E-mail Discussion Lists&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posting messages to e-mail discussion lists is a great way to get free advertising. An e-mail discussion list is a group of people connected together via e-mail that can communicate with one another. When you post a message to a list include your signature file at the end. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your sig file should be no more than 5 to 6 lines. Include an attention getting sentence why they should visit your web site or e-mail your auto responder. Try to select list's that are archived because your signature file will be viewed for years to come. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E-mail discussion lists are highly targeted. There are thousands of discussion lists with thousands of different subjects. You can usually subscribe to these lists by sending an e-mail or by filling out a web form. You want to subscribe to one that would be related to your target audience. If you are selling books about marketing, you would want to post to lists were business people and marketers would congregate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before posting to any e-mail discussion list, read the FAQ or rules first. They will tell you what kinds of posts are allowed. Read the messages for a few days before posting your message to see what type of messages are being posted. If the list is archived you could read the older messages. If you want to make sure, you could e-mail the list moderator. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never post messages that are unrelated to the list's subject. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many different types of messages you could post to the e-mail discussion list. You could post an informative comment or article that would interest the other list members. Post a question on the discussion list that you would like answered. You could answer another person's question on the list. When you post and answer questions you will become know as an expert and meet other experts on the list.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://webgate3000.com/2005/12/work-from-home-to-make-money-online.html' title='Work From Home To Make Money Online'/><link rel='related' href='http://webtraffic3000.com' title='Work From Home To Make Money Online'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20277032&amp;postID=113580204767623932' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://webgate3000.com/work-at-home-programs.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20277032/posts/default/113580204767623932'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20277032/posts/default/113580204767623932'/><author><name>Tata</name></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20277032.post-113580174276088947</id><published>2005-12-28T12:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-12-28T12:29:02.770-08:00</updated><title type='text'>MAKE MONEY ONLINE</title><content type='html'>The 8 Steps for Starting a Business Online&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chose Your Products&lt;br /&gt;Find the needs or demands, not the products.&lt;br /&gt;Go to wordtracker  (commercial) or overture  (free), and look for well-searched keywords (searched a lot of times).

I am self employed but whether you work for yourself or an established employer you are likely to face obstacles similar to those that I encountered. Early on as my business was first established I made a few mistakes and fell into the common pitfalls of working from home. I have since learned to overcome those obstacles and I would like to share my tips for working effectively from home with you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Setting up a functional workspace is critical to the success from a work from home employee. Try setting up your space so that it contains all of the necessary equipment that you need. You may decorate your workspace so that it is aesthetically appealing but try to keep distractions to a minimum. &lt;br /&gt;Establishing a working schedule is also important. Having regularly scheduled hours when you work will help you to be more efficient during these times. Be sure to schedule work time as well as break times so that you will not become overwhelmed. One of the pitfalls that some work from home employees fall into is working too many hours. In an office there is a clear signal to the end of the day as other employees start to leave the office for the day but at home employees sometimes have difficulty ending their day. &lt;br /&gt;Being able to motivate yourself is critical for the work at home employee. In an office situation, you have a supervisor and co-workers who motivate you to complete your work but when you are working at home, you only have yourself to push you to succeed. &lt;br /&gt;Maintaining a professional attitude is also important for the work from home employee. If you have frequent client interactions, be careful to answer the phone or respond to their emails in a professional way. A home office may be an informal environment that affords you the luxury of dressing casually but client interactions should always follow certain decorum. Keeping your interactions businesslike will ensure that the client does not begin to doubt the amount or quality of work that is being put into their projects. &lt;br /&gt;Considering hiring a day care provider is another tip for working from home. Those who have young children may find it difficult to attend to the needs of their children while fulfilling their job obligations. For this reason it may be worthwhile to have a day care provider care for your child during your working hours. &lt;br /&gt;Avoid volunteering for too many activities. Many people will assume that because you work at home you are free to help them run errands, pick up their children from school or be an emergency babysitter if their child has a cold. While you may want to help your friends and family members, it is important to make it clear that your work is just as important as theirs and that you have obligations to take care of each day. &lt;br /&gt;These are the tips that helped me to work effectively from home but you may find other tricks or ideas that help you to improve your efficiency and productivity while working from home. The important thing to remember is that your home based job deserves the same attention and dedication as an office position. Following the tips that I have provided will help you to become a lucrative and productive home based worker.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://webgate3000.com/2005/12/work-from-home.html' title='WORK FROM HOME'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20277032&amp;postID=113580048268771106' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://webgate3000.com/work-at-home-programs.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20277032/posts/default/113580048268771106'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20277032/posts/default/113580048268771106'/><author><name>Tata</name></author></entry></feed>
