Home Business Scams-Are These 4 You Should Avoid

One problem people have when they start a home business is they look for the easiest thing to do. Sadly what happens is they end up spending money to earn money and all they do is lose all the way around. There are many home business scams that are not really scams at all. And there are definite scams out there that never deliver anything.

Let's look at a few home business scams you have heard of and whether they really scams or not.

1. Stuff envelopes. If you have been looking for a way to make money at home you have seen classified ads in newspapers or on the internet. For a small fee you will receive a list of jobs to stuff envelopes and get paid to do it. What happens is you send in the fee and never ever make any money after that.

2. Type at home. You buy a book which teaches you to place classified ads via pay per click advertising and other methods promoting the book you just bought. Are you typing at home? I guess so, but you are not doing it for any companies that will hire you.

3. Data Entry. Again buy information that will teach you how to earn money doing data entry at home part time. What you end up with is a book that teaches you how to do pay per click advertising with Google Adwords, MIVA, Kanoodle, or some other pay per click advertising company.

4. Get paid to take surveys at home on the phone or on your computer. What happens is you end up with a list of companies that you fill out a survey and provide your credit card for future billing. As you wade through these companies if you do not remember to go back and cancel the account you opened you will be billed. The amount you are billed is more than the amount of money you earned to complete the survey.

So are these all scams?Are any of these 4 really home business scams? Yes and no. I personally have read interviews online from people who have made money doing surveys and typing at home.

The problem is that these are probably not going to do for you what you want them to. Generally you spend money you do not really have to try and earn money that you will never make. You end up frustrated and back online looking for another way to earn money.

After awhile you realize that the only way to make money is to get a website or blog and start selling something online that people have a need, interest, or desire for. No shortcuts. To avoid home business scams you need to really have a home business that provides something of value, a way to collect money, and a way to deliver the goods.

That is it in a nutshell. These 4 home business scams do not work for most people because they do not deliver to you what they say they will and therein lies the problem. They are not legitimate home businesses and you are left to start your search all over again.
