money-making opportunities

Electronic Commerce has proved to be a boon for all those who make money using the Internet. Every now and then I come across people who are more than happy earning a decent income using the Internet. At the same time, I also meet people who have lost hundreds of dollars as a result of online scams.

The first question that comes to my mind is- Do genuine money-making opportunities exist? As far as my experience with the Internet says, there are a number of genuine web sites which ‘pay’ you for your services. Online money making scams are like ghosts who continue to haunt us even when we are not sure whether they exist or not.

How can one distinguish a genuine opportunity from a scam? There are certain things which you can do to avert trouble. For example, never pay a single penny to web sites which ask for a membership fee. Think it this way- Do employers charge their employees for hiring them?

Read the succeeding sentence again and again- “Don’t start work from home until you read others reviews…” There are hundreds of people who have been victims of online scams. Those people post their experiences on a number of web sites to prevent others from making the same mistakes.

There are four basic domains which help you earn using the Internet- Completing online surveys, reading e-mails, viewing online advertisements (often known as ‘PTC’ or paid to click) and doing other freelance jobs. “Don’t start work from home until you read others reviews…”

Survey web sites do pay. But the payment is not quite lucrative. Beware of fraudulent companies which promise you of paying 10-20$ for every survey you complete. Such online companies ask you to pay them a one-time refundable fee (generally 40-100$).

The truth is that once you pay them, you will neither get surveys nor the amount you had paid as registration fee. “Don’t start work from home until you read others reviews…” You can find reviews of online scams everywhere on the World Wide Web.

You can narrow down your search by using the keywords ‘work at home business opportunity’ or ‘internet home business opportunity’. I recently visited a web site which claimed of listing home based business scams as well as authentic opportunities. When I visited one of the web sites listed under the ‘check out these wonderful web sites’ column, I realized it’s scam too! “Don’t start work from home until you read others reviews…”

Greenhouse effects: Freecycling

Posted by: Tony Juniper | Comments (0)

One of the principal environmental challenges we face is finding ways to reduce our demand for natural resources while at the same time cutting the amount of waste we produce. In England, we already have a shortage of landfill space, and this is set to worsen as EU environmental rules demand that we dispose of less waste via this ecologically damaging route (and not a moment too soon).

A lot of the rubbish that goes into holes in the ground or incinerators
needn’t be thrown away, if only new owners for everything from carpets to chairs, curtains, toys and doors can be found. One good way to divert household material away from landfill and to a new home is via the Freecycle Network. Freecycle is a web-based community of people who use the internet to swap perfectly good items that might otherwise be thrown away. Read More→

A passion for sports and the capacity for hard work dictated where the MacGeoch family made their home — and it is the reason why they are leaving it. The family are moving from Drumuillie Lodge, in Boat of Garten, near Aviemore, to somewhere less remote so that 11-year-old Calum can develop his talent for tennis.

Norman MacGeoch gained his love of sport when a teenager living in mountainous Strathspey 40 years ago. He was a keen skier, and whenever there was snow he headed for the slopes above Aviemore. But even then he had the instincts of an entrepreneur. Why, he wondered, did ski hats not carry logos? It seemed such an obvious idea. So, together with a friend he set to work, cold-calling likely sponsors, knitting hats then selling the finished product from a rucksack at the top of the chairlift. “It took off like a rocket,” he says. “We even got Prince Charles to wear one with a Union flag design.” Read More→

The clip-on revolution, you might think, ended long ago with sunglasses, ties and earrings. But it is stirring once again in a housing market stifled by recession and facing the need to become more sustainable.

Jim Whiston and Elaine McFarland have just gained an extra room at their traditional stone villa in Ardrossan, Ayrshire — and the neat, black box is the prototype for what could one day be a mass-produced, “clip-on” extension.

The clever structure may be the sustainable alternative to the conventional extension, since it provides a cheaper, greener alternative to demolition when there’s a change of owner — or a change of heart. Read More→
