In Part 1 I told you about Paid Surveys and Data Entry. Here's the other 2 most popular internet scams to avoid.
Internet MLM
They lure you to sign up and give you a cookie cutter site that you can use to advertise to your friends to try to get them to sign up. There usually is no benefit to signing up, no other way to earn money than to pay for a membership and sell the opportunity to "5 of your friends".
Some of them even charge huge amounts for you to join and then they have you give up your first two sales to your upline. Then whatever you make after is yours. Hmmm. Seems like the person at the top is making all the money.
Anything closely resembles this is an internet MLM or ponzi scheme, not a beneficial way for you to make money using the internet. There is no product that you can sell to others so your money is totally dependent on people getting suckered into this.
Get Rich Quick
You probably know these. These sites tell you how you can make money almost overnight. Just set it up and watch the money pour into your bank account. They further try to pull you in by showing you their new Lambourghini that they bought or their mansion.
Most of the times its some broke kid who wants to make some money and they start making money by selling their 'get rich quick' program.
I probably should have said this first but if you're still reading, there is no 'get rich quick' on the internet. It takes hard work and dedication just like any other business, but if you're good enough and get the right training, you could be earning a substantial income in just a few months.
Just be on the look out for what you are presented with and always do your research.

Top 4 Internet Scams To Avoid (Part 1)
People will do anything to make money...and I don't mean the ones who are looking to make money online. I'm talking about the people who set up websites to prey on people looking to make money online.
Thats why you should always be careful how you go about looking for opportunities on the internet.
Here are the top 4 types of programs to avoid on the internet.
Paid Surveys
Paid Surveys promise you easy money just by answering questionairres and there are in fact sites that will pay. The thing is the sites tell you that you can earn $5 -$150 for each survey that you fill out. I've been involved with these types of programs before and rarely do I ever see a survey for $5 or more. Most usually pay $2 the most.
When there is a survey for any substantial amount you usually have to qualify by answering a screening survey and the survey usually takes place over a few days. If you do happen to get a survey like this it only happens once in a blue moon.
The websites that are set up to show you these survey sites usually charge somewhere like $35 and all they do is give you links to survey sites that you could otherwise find free elsewhere. Don't pay for these sites. Keep in mind that even if you try out surveys you won't make much money as you will usually have to put up with all kinds of rules such as a limit for payout and other mumbo jumbo.
Data Entry/Home Typing
Again the promise of easy money catches a lot of people. This is one of those 'too good to be true' programs. See a site that says that you can earn money by typing data online and you'll get paid by companies that never turn you down... close your browser window immediately.
Especially if they charge you money. What happens is they tell you one thing on the site and when you sign up its totally different, usually the same data entry but you make money by selling their program online through Google Adwords. Not fair at all. Most people who just want to do data entry don't even want to do affiliate marketing which is why they end up disappointed and for good reason.
Stay away from these types of programs.
