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.

Wedding Cake Decorating Tips

Congratulations on making the brave decision to decorate your own wedding cake! By choosing this option, you can save a considerable amount of money and, better yet, cut your cake with pride on your wedding day. Cake decorating can be a specialist art, but with a few expert tips, you too can create the perfect wedding cake.

First up, dont take on more than you can chew! Weddings can be a stressful experience, so if youre not confident that you can do the decorating, swallow your pride and fork out the extra cash so that you can walk down the aisle with a smile on your face. Elaborately-decorated cakes may look great in bridal magazines, but wont taste any better and will certainly by harder to make if you have just a little decorating experience. Choosing a simply decorated cake will add an elegant touch to your wedding and give you an achievable project to work with.

A good way to compromise is to buy a pre-made cake and decorate it yourself, rather than attempting to do both. Odd-shaped, multi-tiered cakes can require more assembly than your average inner city apartment block and this can be prohibitive for first time decorators. If you choose a rectangular, square or round cakes with only a single layer, or minimal assembly, you will have less room for error.

Whether you are buying a pre-made cake, or baking your own, good quality ingredients for your frosting and cake toppers will mean that your decorating job is easier. These ingredients will blend better (and oftentimes have more flavor) than cheaper ingredients. Likewise, its important to ensure that you have the right sort of decorating tools non-stick piping bags with a variety of tips, long and short, as well as angled spatulas, and a turn table to make rotating the cake easy.

One of the most difficult and time-consuming aspects of cake decorating is creating sugar flowers to decorate the cake top. A wonderful alternative is to have your florist prepare you a fresh flower arrangement to sit on top of the cake. The flowers can match those used in your ceremony and reception and can also be kept as a souvenir. If choosing fresh flowers, ensure you let your florist know what you plan to use them for some flowers are treated with pesticides and some flowers, such as Lily of the Valley, are toxic.

Finally, its important to allow yourself enough time to decorate the cake if you try to do it when you are behind schedule and stressed, you are almost guaranteed to end up with a disaster. Plan ahead and have a trial decorating run. Although you want your day to be perfect, you can be confident that only you will know that the fondant icing is a little better applied on the left hand side of your cake no one else will notice, especially when they get to tasting just how good it is!
