Making Money Online for 2006
Copyright 2006 East Tech LLC
It's a new year but the same old question is asked over and over
again. How can I make some extra money online? There are many
ways to make money online but the bad news is there are many
more ways to lose money. From scams to Ponzi schemes to pyramid
schemes to flat out poor business models, so many online
opportunities just flat out don't deliver what they promise and
take our hard earned money with them.
It also gets more difficult to pick the real opportunities from
the frauds. Today anyone with a few bucks can have a
professionally designed website, get it hosted and look like the
best company and opportunity you've ever seen. Then in the bat
of an eye, the company is gone, with your money, and starting
the whole scam over again under a different name.
The good news however, is that you can limit your risk by
performing some due diligence to see if the company or website
you're thinking of doing business is for real. One basic way is
to open up a web browser, go to Google and search for the
company name along with the word "scam". If you start making
hits, read some of the threads. If there are many people out
there trashing the company, then stay far away from that
opportunity.
Another way to check out a website, would be to use companies
like NetworkSolutions and their WHOIS database. In their WHOIS
directory, type in the name of the company you're considering
doing business with. See who their hosting provider is. Are they
keeping much of their information private? If so, this could be
a red flag. This is not always the case however since the world
is full of people who like nothing more than to cause problems
for web sites, most companies these days prefer to keep their
information private.
Another great research tool to use is called Alexa. Alexa is a
traffic research tool but can be used for much more than that.
You can search on website URLs to see what the Alexa rating is
for certain websites, what reviews, if any, have been written
about the company and possibly the owner, address and phone
numbers. Lots of nice
little goodies you wouldn't be able to
find elsewhere.
There are also review type websites that profile certain online
business opportunities. Try to stay away from the "Review Only"
sites because in most cases, their only interest is to pump up
any and all programs and add their affiliate links so they can
make money from your signups. They could care less if the
companies they profile are legitimate or whether they make money
or not. The best sites to look for are the ones that not only
profile these great opportunities, but have a personal
investment in them as well. The web sites in which you can
contact the webmaster and as him/her questions about everything
they have on their site. If they don't reply or they do not have
first hand knowledge of a particular program they are promoting
on their website, then find another site.
Last year was a great year to make money with the paid autosurf
programs and 2006 is starting off the same way 2005 ended. With
a huge bang! These are great opportunities and can generate a
lot of money of you find the right programs and invest the right
way. As with any opportunity, you need to follow some basic
rules or you will lose your money. But if you take it slow, use
common sense and diversify across a few programs, you will make
money.
As with any investment, there is some level of risk. Don't
invest more than you can afford to lose and always start small
and build up your accounts as you earn money in the programs. If
you follow these simple recommendations, you will do very well
for yourself. Also, don't get attached to any one program. Even
if one of the programs pays the best and seems like they will be
around forever, please remember nothing lasts forever. Even the
best run, well intentioned businesses can fail. Just remember to
diversify and you'll be fine.
