It’s an aged old question being asked all over the world today, from India to Australia, from Mexico to London, and of course the good old USA. “How can I make money online without being scammed”? This question is posted all over yahoo answers, and in business forums all over the internet super highway. , My father taught me some time ago that when ever something becomes a mystery among an enormous group of people, you will find out that the fundamentals have been aborted. So in pursuit to the answer to this world renowned question I went back to the fundamentals and found exactly what everyone has been looking for. The answer is older then the internet and so simple that every 2 year old does it everyday. It lies in a four letter word that your 2 year old is allowed to say. “COPY” it’s that simple, just copy, or a better word for us adults is “imitate”. You spend so much time trying to create the wheel, when all you really have to do is go and look at the wheel that’s already been created. Add to this the fact that the word imitate has such a negative feeling attached to it. With all the counterfeit Gucci and Louis Vuitton handbags and now shoes, we have become allergic to anything that is synonymous with the word imitate. However, there’s a big misconception here. Counterfeit is NOT, I repeat is NOT the same as the word imitate. To counterfeit in the dictionary means 1. Make a copy of, usually with the intent to defraud; forge:
2. To make a pretense of; feign:
1. To carry on a deception; dissemble.
2. To make fraudulent copies of something valuable.
Adj.
1. Made in imitation of what is genuine with the intent to defraud: a counterfeit dollar bill.
2. Simulated; feigned: a counterfeit
Now see the simple definition of the word imitate, it means 1. To copy the manner or style of or take as a model: he remains rock's most imitated guitarist
2. To mimic or impersonate
As you can see to counterfeit is to defraud and to imitate is to model after someone. This points out all of the imitating or modeling that the great men of our time have done. Warren Buffet, Lee Iacocca, Oprah Winfrey, Donald Trump, all used mentors or models to imitate. Even our hip hop generation with rappers such as P.Diddy and Jay-Z model after the Hip Hop Icon Russell Simmons. We recently ran a story on Kiaron Daughtry an up and coming Real Estate Mogul, and he pointed out that he uses the late Harry Helmsley as his blue print to model after. All of this served as a great reminder that the fundamental principle to be successful in any area in life is to imitate or model after those that are successful in the same area.
In search for online money making opportunities, we looked for models that have been successful, unfortunately many that have been successful, have been successful scamming the hard earned dollars of others. Success, YES, but not the kind of success that we are looking for or the kind that will last. So we set our eyes on those that would share their experiences, with out trying to sell a product that they own at the same time. In our search we found a few blogs, all independently operated with the goal of informing the already scammed web surfer on what to avoid and what was actually working and making money online. First was Tami Daughtery, Tami operates a non–profit blog that gives real and honest reviews of online businesses and online jobs. Along with Tami we meet Bill Kenner, who also operates a non-profit blog that focuses on the reviews of online businesses specifically. Finally Karen Hope joined us, Karen’s blog (also non-profit) is not a review blog, but has become more of a forum filled with people that comment on their success of the online job program that she supports and works under currently at home.
After greeting them I didn’t want to waste any time, I wanted to get to the meat of what people want to know about online jobs.
My first open question to all of them was “how can I make money online with out being scammed?”
Tami: you have to use other people’s experiences, you have to find blogs, and forums and look to see what people are saying.
Bill: I agree totally with Tami, if you rely on your own intellect, you’re going to go through scam after scam after scam, with no results what so ever. I mean that’s what happened to me, and that’s why I started my blog, it was a way to lure the new comers away from the scammers that are widely known on the net.
Tami: me too, I talk to so many people that have been laid off or are disabled and they tell me that they have spent thousands of dollars looking for an online job, and they have nothing to show for it, and it often times makes them quit altogether and give up on searching for online jobs that pay good money.
Karen: I was one of those people; I talk about it on my blog. I was at the end of my rope, and spent my last believing that I would find an online job, and when I finally did, ironically it was given to me by an old lady I used to buy purses from on EBay, she referred me and I joined off of her referral, and that really opened up doors for me.
Tami: you see again, you got a referral from someone. It didn’t work till you got a referral.
Bradford: ok guys we got that we need a reference, so since we have you all here and I consider you to be great references since you’re all non-profit, what are the best online jobs or businesses that make money?
Tami: there are so many
Bill: yeah
Tami: I mean there are a lot, but it seems like only a few because of the online scams that have saturated the web.
Bill: I agree totally
Karen: I only use one, my blog isn’t a review of online jobs, there’s only one that worked for me and I stick to what worked. LOL Tami and Bill seem to know more then I do.
Tami: just send readers to blogs and they will get a clear view of all the possibilities, because we couldn’t name them all and to name just a few wouldn’t be fare.
Brad: OK since you didn’t spill the beans, finally question Tami (since you seem to be most talkative) can I make money in 7 days online?
Tami: absolutely, in 7 days or less.
Brad: or less?
Tami: yes, or less. It takes a great deal of time to set everything up that you need, so if you are unemployed and don’t have 2 kids racking your brain like I do, then you can work for 2 or 3 days straight and be making money by the 4th or 5th day. But if you only work a couple hours a day at it, then it could take you 2 weeks to be full up and running and then you can start seeing money roll in.
Brad: thank you all so much, I know the testimonies and advice will help people a great deal, and thank you again for all of your blogs, I’ve seen them all and you’re doing a great work for those looking for real online jobs and businesses.
This article brings real closure to the question in the title and how to go about answering it, I hope it helps many all over the world that have been scammed and those that may have given up altogether, to pursue your desire with tenacity, hard work and persistence, but add to those the art of imitation, and I don’t mean the latest Gucci hand bag.
