Don't let scammers steal your hard-earned money!

Scammers are great salespeople. They could sell ice to an Eskimo. I'm an Eskimo who purchased ice from them. The world is filled with these thieves. Why must these people prey on those who just want to improve their life? I just don't understand it. I truly believe that anyone who wants to increase their income by starting their own home-based business shouldn't be taken advantage of by scammers. That's why I created this site. I want to help people who want to start a home-based business find 100% scam-free business opportunities.

Worst Pick #1: Envelope Stuffing Opportunities

Many companies that offer envelope stuffing opportunities uses deceptive unrealistic promises to unsuspecting business opportunity seekers. The company claims that you will be earning money only by stuffing envelope for $5 each, however, what they fall to mention is that you have to advertise a product with small classified ads in newspapers or magazines and in your ad you must ask potential customers to send you a self addressed stamped envelope with $5. Once you receive the SASE and the $5, you have to then insert the their circular into the envelopes and mail it to the prospect while keeping the $5 for yourself. The truth is that chances are you will receive very little, if any, responses from the classified ads that you place. Most people are reluctant to send a SASE and $5 for information. Would you send a SASE and $5 just to receive information. Odds are you would say no.

Worst Pick #2: Typing At Home Opportunities

According to many companies, you could earn big bucks by doing simple data entry work for companies at home. All you have to do is type 3 to 4 line sentences then submit the data online and you get paid. The truth is that you will not be doing typing work. Right of the bat, they are lying to you. Here's how this opportunity really works: You have to place and pay for ads that will promote a company's product. You also have to design the ads yourself. You only make get paid if someone responses to your ad and buys the product. You're pay is a percentage of the sale. You pay is not basic on typing and just submitting ads.

Some companies charge $39.95 to a whopping $99.99 to join their program. I've notice that these opportunities have been picking up steam over the last few months. Beware of these work opportunities.

Worst Pick #3: Processing Medical Insurance Claims

You've seen the ads that claim that you can earn from $800 to $1000 weekly processing insurance claims on your home computer for health care professionals. Over 80% of providers need your services. Learn how in one day! Typically, the promoter of this scheme attracts you by advertising on cable television and, perhaps, by inviting you to a business opportunity trade show at a hotel or convention center. You may be:

• Urged to buy software programs and even computers. A program selling at a software store for $69 might cost you several thousand dollars
• Told that your work will be coordinated with insurance companies by a central computer
• Required to pay for expensive training sessions available at a 'current special rate' that will be higher in the future, and Pressured to make a decision immediately

Most likely, the expensive training sessions are superficial, and the market for your services is very small. In one case, instead of 80 percent, only 20 percent of the health care professionals did not have their own computerized systems.

The promoter also may delay the processing of your work, citing heavy usage or mistakes in your work. There may be no central computer. You may be left with no way to deliver what you have promised your customers, if you found any.

Worst Pick #4: Nigerian Bank Scam

Nigerian-type scams continue to be the most prolific scam around. This well known scam began in the 1980s and spread through Europe, North America and Australia. People receive a letter advising there are millions of dollars held in a Nigerian bank account that they can share in by sending details of their bank account and blank letterheads.

The sender of the letter, who usually describes himself as a highly placed and influential person with contacts in the Nigerian Government, says fictitious invoices will be prepared to enable the transfer of money to the account of the targeted business. To 'facilitate' the transfer, the business has to first pay approximately $5,000 to the contact in Nigeria for fees, taxes and bribes.

People have been stung for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Similar letters are now arriving from South America, Asia, European and Arabic nations. Variations include proceeds from a will, church funds being saved from a dictatorship, and widows from the World Trade Center tragedy.

If you’re NOT a part of this Twitter REVOLUTION you are going to miss out big time.

Right now is the time to get involved if you have not already done so.

Twitter is the new revolution of social networking, online communications, mobile communications and has quickly filled in the missing gaps where others fell short.

Take a look at what some of the top marketers are saying just in the last few weeks as of this writing...

“I promise you, if you don’t get a Twitter account today and start using it you’re going to KICK YOURSELF in the near future. You just wait and see”. John Reese

“If you don’t have a Twitter account, you really should get one, because Twitter is honestly the next big thing. Don’t miss out on this while it’s still new.” Brad Callen

“Why wait another minute to get started using Twitter when you know you could be building your lists, building relationships, selling more products and services and building your credibility faster”. Mike Filsaime

Twitter Is All About Being Transparent And Showing What’s Going On Behind The Curtain Of Your Life While Getting People Interested In YOUR Business...

Knowing how to be transparent while building your business “under the radar” is vital and is really the golden key to your success using Twitter…

Twitter is an awesome way to build your reputation, relationships, generate more traffic, build your lists, create a following of targeted readers and the end results is to make more money online.

Some are simply addicted to Twitter and are not really being productive and there is a fine line between entertainment and making money online.

Let’s face the facts… Some people are simply obsessed with Twitter and this is great news for those of use who know how to do things the right way…

Here's the steps I took to maximize my use of Twitter to grow your email list:

1. Create a Twitter account. Your Twitter ID can be your given name, or you may want to use your Twitter ID to brand yourself, i.e. passport2riches. Just get the basics set up at this point. In the setup, check both options of "Email when someone starts following me" as well as "Email when I receive a new direct message." Signup with Twitter Free.
2. Have a freebie to give away. You may want to create a unique electronic giveaway just for your Twitter followers, or you can use the same giveaway that you already use on your site. Once you've decided what to give away, create a squeeze page and insert sales copy and an opt-in form so that you can direct your Twitter followers to this page for them to join your list and receive your free giveaway. For tracking purposes, you may want to set up a unique page to see just how many subscribers join your list from this invitation. [i.e. GIVING NO COST - 20 QUALITY INTERNET MARKETING E-BOOKS http://www.passport2riches.ws/bizopp.htm ]
3. Twitter bio: You have 160 characters to describe your business as a part of your Twitter bio. Describe yourself and your call to action. Here's a sample: "Your Wealth Building Tycoon | Helping YOU Make Money! Follow me to learn how to Turn $10 into a Fast $10,000 Income with 10KMatrix"
4. Set up TweetLater.com account and welcome message. The aspect of this service that you'll be using is the ability to send an automatic message to new followers, which you should turn on as a part of setting up your account. You can choose a public or direct (private) message. Choose to send the private message. This message is limited to 140 characters, as it's a tweet, so here's a sample along the same lines as the sample mentioned earlier: "Thx 4 following. Get free eBooks to help on how to Turn $10 into a Fast $10,000 Income with 10KMatrix ." I have also turned on the ability to automatically follow new followers. http://www.tweetlater.com
5. Twitter email address. When you create your Twitter account, use an email address that is attached to an account or software that will enable you to forward all new follower notifications that you get from Twitter. My email software doesn't offer that forwarding capability, so I changed my Twitter email address to my Gmail address, and used the filter capability to create a Twitter label and to forward all of my follower notifications to my TweetLater.com account.

Twitter is a wonderful tool to help you add your Twitter followers to your list, which is one way you can create deeper relationships with your target market to help them get to know, like, and trust you. Start Twittering today and begin to experience amazing list growth!

Although there are large amounts of Twitter users in the area of Internet marketing, Twitter is also used by followers in many other niches. Once you learn the process of "Twittering" and how to attract targeted followers for your niche, the sky really is the limit! Best of all, unlike many other marketing methods, Twittering is an absolute blast of fun!

Here are a few hints for Twittering success:

• Always have a descriptive bio of yourself and include a great landing page. You are allowed one active link in your bio. You can include other URL's in your description, but they will not be active
• Make sure you take advantage of the reply and direct message features. These two features are the real "meat and potatoes" of Twitter. Using them will result in strong (and profitable) relationships with other users.
• Use a link shortening tool like TinyURL to shorten links to deal with the 140 character limit for each tweet
• There are some cool third part tools which I use to ramp up Twitter's marketing potential. Be sure to see my Twitter bio for more information about this

Give Twitter a try for a few weeks and watch the results!
