Beware of these Home Business Scams

Admin — Thu, 19 May 2011 12:52:47 +0000

When you surf the internet you will find plenty of advertisements and offers for starting your own home business. A lot of unsuspecting people spot what they think is a sound business opportunity but end up losing a lot of money. Unfortunately, it is easy to be misled by these offers, so the income seeker has to be very cautious.

Home-Based Business Scam Targets
With many of these businesses the only money earned is the money that the scammers take from unwary opportunity seekers. These scams are aimed at people who want to make money working from home. Many are aimed at mothers with young children who want to do something to improve the family financial situation but who also want to be home for their children. These scams also play on the psychology of people who are really desperate to pay their bills and are having problems doing so.

Make Money Fast Schemes
Three of the most common work from home scams are craft assembly, medical billing and email processing.

In craft assembly you pay up front for a starter kit. When the completed projects are sent back, you are told by the company that your work does not meet their standards. Nothing will ever meet the standards. The whole operation is set up to make money selling the kits (and the promise of income to people who desperately need it).

In medical billing you pay a fee for a list of clients in your area and billing software. Medical clinics rarely if ever outsource their billing to individuals. The work is normally done internally or outsourced to medical billing firms. Trying to get a refund on the money you have paid up front is next to impossible.

In email processing the scammers try to involve you in their scam. They get you to pay up front for the privilege of participating, and then you send the same emails out to others in the hope of taking their money. This has become a lucrative (for the scammers) home business scam.

Pyramid Schemes
A pyramid scheme involves recruiting people to invest money with the promise that your money will be returned many times over (for example, invest $500 and get $5000 back). In this scam you invest money and then you recruit others to invest money. Pyramid schemes are illegal in most places but they are still very common. Pyramid schemes are very similar to the email processing scam. What happens is that a very few people, those at the top of the pyramid, make money while those at the bottom never see any return on their investment. People who get into the scheme early are paid from money collected from participants who get in later. Eventually, the whole scheme collapses.

Don’t Give Your Money Away
Be wary of work from home offers that require you to put up a cash deposit for the privilege of doing the work. Avoid pyramid type schemes where you pay money to someone who promises that you will recover your money many times over just by participating. Home business scams have always been with us, but with the proliferation of these scams on the Internet, it is much easier to rip off unsuspecting victims. Be careful. If an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

dealing with hosting provider

Admin — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 01:48:03 +0000

When I first started doing blogging, I never thought there are so many things to do. My brother launches my site without telling me anything. He did not share any information that is helpful when I go my own. He created the site, then hand it over to me as if I am knowledgeable.

Too many things rumble in my mind. I want to know the basics especially after few months where I get the motivation to start a new one. Good thing he answers me whenever I asked him. I don’t want to burden him so much that’s why I also do my part of research. It was then I realize I need to purchase the best web hosting package that suits the need of my website.

But, buying one is not an easy task. I’m a little surprised to find so many webhosting providers across the web. For sure my brother went on the daunting task of finding one. I have to deal with it as well. His only advice, get some help from webhosting guides like Webhostingfan.

From there I was able to find the latest web hosting industry news, trends in web development, different hosting reviews from different web hosting provider, introduction to CMS, domain names, e-commerce, search engines, web security, blogging software and so much more.

This web hosting guides rate the web hosting companies like web hosting hub based on web hosting price, reliability, support and real customer reviews. Customers like me will definitely get ideas of how a certain web hosting company performs not just based on their own advertising campaign, but based on how people think. It indeed helped me in making a decision which web hosting company to choose.

The entire thing makes my task fairly easy and simple as compared to dealing with so many web hosting companies in the web. I was able to choose the company that suits my need and budget, yet delivers the quality service.

interesting uses of cotton

Admin — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 14:17:36 +0000

I was just leisurely surfing the web, when I found this article very interesting. Basically, it is all about the new uses of cotton. Researchers at the Cornell University announce the development of a new type of cotton fiber, which has the ability to conduct electricity just as well as metal wires can. The thing about this innovation is that the textile fabrics remain light and soft to the touch, which means that they can be worn inside regular T-shirts and other pieces of clothing, the team behind the achievement says. Possible uses for the new technology involve creating smart clothes that can monitor heart and breathing rates, and also charge mobile devices such as gaming consoles, cell phones and so on.

The basis of the modern cotton fibers is coating them with nanoparticles. Researchers at Cornell collaborated closely with Italian colleagues from the universities at Bologna and Cagliari for this job, and they managed to succeed where other research groups failed. The fact that the nanoparticles are conductive allows for electrical connections to be made inside the fabric by simply tying two of the threads together. The technology works so well that Abbey Liebman, one of Hinestroza’s students, managed to design a dress featuring the cotton fibers, small photovoltaic cells, and a USB dock for charging cell phones and mp3 players. The dress will be featured at the exhibition.

I guess I will be looking forward to this innovation in the market.

I Persuade People Through Logic

You Persuade People Through Logic

You feel like facts should be enough to persuade people, and you always focus on making a reasonable argument.

You never appeal to emotion – you feel like it’s beneath you. You are much more concerned with evidence.

Once someone is convinced of the facts, you show them the logical steps to reach your conclusion.
You rather have someone totally convinced and persuaded than not, even if it is a lot of work.

eyeglasses issues

Admin — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 05:19:29 +0000

Wiffy’s brother brags about his new pair of eyeglasses. Well, I have to say that he reminds me of our old neighbor in our old apartment. The whole family is wearing eyeglasses. It’s not an issue anyway. However, they kept on complaining every time they change their prescription glasses. When I got a chance to chat with the mother, I mentioned about ZenniOptical.com that sells $ 8 Rx eyeglasses.

They got curious and follow the site every now and then. They even shop for their glasses in this site because of its affordability. They got a big saving from their purchases and there are so many

Well, not long ago they are so amazed to see Zenni Optical on TV!!! They are reminded once again of the best offers they get from Zenni. Her child is already big enough and was able to do away with his negligent acts like breaking or getting his glasses lost. But, she kept on buying what she thinks fits her only child. High Five to Zenni Optical!
