Work from Home Employment Opportunities

November 10th, 2008 by Author

Are you seeking a work from home opportunity, seeking part-time work, or unemployed? If so, this is the article for you!

Beware of the online “fake cashier’s check” scammers who target people just like you.

They contact you explaining that they have a job offer or work from home opportunity. They will send you a business contract and direct you to a website (template) to imply authenticity. If you agree to accept this job offer as a Financial Representative, Donations Coordinator, or something similar, you will then receive a cashiers check via FedEx or Express Mail and be asked to deposit it or cash it, then to wire transfer the money to whomever they specify. Of course, they tell you to keep 7% as your compensation. It seems appealing enough when you’re blind sided by the thought of having an extra $500 cash in your pocket.

The cashiers check’s are bogus, counterfeit, and 100% illegal to handle in any way!

They look absolutely real. The cashier’s checks have even fooled the bank tellers, supervisors and so on, over and over. By Federal Law, the banks must release the funds almost immediately if the amount is less than $5,000.00.

These online scammers have taken hundreds, (if not, thousands) of unsuspecting victims under their belt notches. You, the one seeking employment, will be left holding the money bag! You may also face criminal charges for passing the counterfeit check, which could result in Felony charges considering the amount of the check, which is always close to, if not more than, $5000.00.

Take Caution! Conduct your own investigation prior to accepting any type of job opportunity that sounds too good to be true. Ask questions, do background checks, make use of the Better Business Bureau online. It is free to search the history and backgrounds of companies. Interview the potential employer by asking questions about their inception, their corporate offices, their history, and mission.

Beware of these online scammers who are targeting work from home employment seekers who post their resumes with CareerBuilder.com.

According to recent evidence and research, one of the most active fake check scams is taking place by use of CareerBuilder.com. The scammers are making full use of the opportunity that is given to them by CareerBuilder.com who sells access to their resume database. For a small fee of $500, the scammers gain intimate personal access to over 4,000 resumes that are registered with CareerBuilder.com. Did you know that CareerBuilder.com sells your personal information including name, address, phone number, college education, and work history?

If you have a resume posted with CareerBuilder.com, take extreme caution whenever you receive a “work from home” employment offer. The e-mail you receive will appear to come directly from CareerBuilder.com but it is a “fake”. Although CareerBuilder.com is apparently aware of these scammers fraudulently using their logos, trademarks and resume databases, they continue to not do enough to assist with putting a stop to such easy access to their resume database. Why would they? They are making millions of dollars by selling your information, whether it is to an authentic company or an online scammer. Did you know that CareerBuilder.com doesn’t even run a background check on an entity claiming to be a company prior to selling your personal information? Talk about being handed to the wolves!

Once you are targeted by the scammers, even if you don’t fall the first time, they continue to proposition you under refined attempts, under different company names, including, by sending you “too good to be true” deals on an item they perceive you would be interested in, and would likely fall for. We all know, there are great bargains that we consistently hunt for and sometimes do successfully find. Don’t be the next victim, know the signs of a scam seller’s deal.

Just by being in existence, such as having an email address, especially, a home address, you are likely soon to be on their prospective target list.

And the best way is to create an online ebay store that is professional and tightly zoned in on that niche. People who do this are making hundreds of dollars a day from one simple ‘niche strategy’ ebay store. And theres isn’t any reason you can’t too.

Anyone can achieve this, although you will need some knowledge of html and design strategies to set up your niche marketing store. You can take a look at how others are doing it and try to work it out from there or the recommended approach is to purchase professional software that can do it for you with the click of a few buttons.

The ebay niche market is huge and ripe for profit - providing you have a solid marketing niche strategy.

How To Find The Right Networking Marketing Opportunity

November 3rd, 2008 by Author

You finally decided to join the thousands of others who work from home. The home business you decide to pursue is network marketing.

Now, before you just up and join any network marketing company that looks good on the surface, seems to have a good product, etc. and so forth, STOP! Why stop? Because there are crucial steps you need to take to avoid being in the 93% failure rate of most people who join a network marketing company. Follow these tips and you will way ahead of many other home-based business opportunity seekers.

Tip #1: Commit to doing your research FIRST. I can’t say enough how important this is. Starting a home-based business is a big decision and should never be done hastily and without careful thought. Commit to doing 5 or 6 hours of research on a number of companies. This one simple tip can greatly increase your level of success and save you years of frustration, being scammed, and most importantly, quitting.

Tip #2: When looking at a network marketing opportunity, make sure the product the company promotes meets the needs of a hot and hungry market. In other words, whatever company you are looking to join, make sure there are people out there clamoring for the product and would buy it even if there were no business opportunity associated with it.

You see, many people get so emotionally attached to a product or outcome that they totally miss the importance of seeing if there is even a market for it. If there is no market, you will have no success at all.

Tip #3: Use Overture. When researching if there is a hot and hungry market for a product, Overture.com is a great way to see how many people are searching for any particular product or service in a given month. If your research shows only 1,000 people are searching for a product, it would be a waste of time for you to join a network marketing company that sells it. However, if you see searches for 30,000, 50,000, 100,000 or even more, you are on the right track!

Tip #4: Check out the competitors of a product. Go the search engines Yahoo, Google, and MSN and look at the first 10 companies that are listed. If the first 10 are the same company, it’s not good. However, if there are a variety of companies selling the product, this is good because it means that there is more of a demand for it.

Tip #5: Use Overture’s bid tool. By doing this, you will be able to see if there are many people interested in a product and how much they are willing to pay per click to have folks come and visit their site. If there isn’t a lot of bidding going, that’s a bad sign. If there are quite a few people bidding on a specific term related to the product the network marketing opportunity promotes, that is a very good thing.

These are simple strategies and tools you can use to research if the network marketing opportunity is worth your time and money. If you follow these tips, and your research shows the home-based business opportunity is worth pursuing, go for it!
