subject: Be A Free Lance Writer But Avoid These Scams [print this page] If you are considering earning income as a free lance writer you'll want to be aware that there are plenty of scams on the net anxious to steal your work or your money or both. Article writing is a legitimate business and you can find many thousands of web site owners willing to pay for fresh written content. Nonetheless, when you spend any time at all online you will run into numerous scams over and over and a number of them sound far better every time you encounter them. Beware of these:
Pyramid schemes - watch out for the guy who shows you huge earnings, pictures of checks, and so on. and promises to help you do what he's doing for a fee. If he is marketing a process to generate income, he's likely going to tell you to offer that exact same technique to others. Guess what? Eventually everybody in the world is trying to sell that exact same technique to each other. Well, perhaps not everybody but you get the idea. A good rule of thumb is, never get involved if the seller won't let you know exactly what you will be doing until after he gets your money.
Making crafts at home - This is usually anything from clothes to toys to ornaments. The organization sends you the materials and you never even pay for them. Sounds fine so far. You assemble the clothes or whatever and send them back only to have the company tell you the things you made they do not meet the organization standards so you will not be paid for all of your work. They send you some cash and much more materials so you go to work again only to have the company say some of the batch couldn't meet the standard. Except the company is selling them, even the "substandard" ones and you are doing work for a pittance.
Home medical billing - In this scam the organization will have you typing health care insurance forms or something like that. They say you have to have specific application for your pc in order to do it and they even have a special plan to sell it to you at a discount. The fact is, all they're doing is offering you computer software. Once they have your cash, they may possibly say they tend not to have enough work for you.
It is possible to generate income on line as a brochure writer, an article writer, a content material writer, and so on, but you must keep your eyes open. You'll find legitimate copy writing jobs and you can earn approximately ten or twenty dollars for an article it took you twenty or thirty minutes to write. I do it myself. Just keep in mind, if something sounds too good to be true, like lots of income without working, it most likely is.
