I tried all those join for free and make money sites, but the problem with them is that they don't pay the bills. So I struck out on my own, took some money and invested in a program that gave the knowledge I needed to run an online business. I have several websites and I spend most of my time promoting them. The one thing I learned and can really understand is that most people that start an online business, dont give themselves much time and stop putting the effort into it. Everyone tells you that you can start making money the next day, week or month. I have come to see that it will take longer. I am not making much money right now, but do see that in time I will. My websites have to get notority and that is why I spend most of my time promoting them. The more I promote the more traffic I get and traffic brings sells.
So my question is this, if you had the money, would you invest in something that you could stay at home and live comfortable or would you tell yourself that it is a scam and spend it on somethin else.

I guess any on line business is like any other business, you have to invest in it to reap the rewards. The more effort and time you put in the greater the rewards. We have an on line business that helps people and they can join for free. But over time pays us big dividends. Let me know if you are interested in knowing more. This is a truley global business backed by a multi billion dollar international company listed on the New York stock exchanged.

I would not invest any money because I have found a free program that does pay. You are right though. Too many people think they can just find something and not work at it. Whether you pay or not, you still have to work hard.

I believe I know which program you are talking about (if it's the most recent topic in your blog), and I actually sat through a conference call with that business. The only thing I didn't like was all the free trials and offers. If you don't mind doing those, then I'd say that program will work. I hate doing the free trials, since I end up forgetting to cancel, and I'm then stuck with something I didn't even want!

Thank you for responding, and you are so right. Make sure to investigate before you hand over money. I took the chance and spent money and found that it is the best investment. I started a year ago and now have some residual income coming in. If you work at it and are patient, the money will come. Good luck with program and thanks again.

I myself is hesitant at first. I just tried to join a couple of sites that. Some goes well and other don't. Finally after some weeks (or months) I finally received a couple of $ from them. Just don't invest right away. You can search the internet if that site is a scam or not. You can find many comments regarding that on some forums.

Thank you for responding, and I too joined a few sites and recieve a residual income, and yes you should always search out the Internet about a site, if there are complaints they are probable a scam. One easy way is to find out if they use pay-pal. Pay-pal's policy helps to prevent scams.
Thank you again

I have a website, possibilitiesknocking.com check out my business progress page. This site is dedicated to helping others' how would like to work online at home. It is only about what I invested in, but remember there are many opportunities out there. You will find honest information there. Since I am not good with graphics and not very knowledgable when it comes to websites I purchased Turnkey websites. There are easy to use and for the most part all one has to do is promote the website. I chose Adult Entertainment, you will find some articles there about the industry, I believe that it will be a lucrative business in the long run.
I only wish I had more money to invest and that I would have started sooner. Good luck and remember that time, effort and patience is what it will take to succeed.
Thanks again,
Karen

I use to think the same thing, but as an Internet user who does a lot of online purchases for various services, programs and products, I know that when ever I do a transaction, someone else is making money off it. I want to be the someone else.
I chose to purchase some programs that would give me the knowledge to work online. I now have several websites, work at home, and love it. I never lost any money that I invested. I have only been doing this for a year now and have residual income, not much at all but it is a start.
Thanks again,
Karen

The sites that require you to invest are 99% of the time scams. They are making money off people that invest and they will not help you "sell the product" as they claim they will. Never invest in a company that you are not extremely familiar with!

I know exactly what you mean by all the scams. I've signed up for tons of things. All the free ones, can take me days to make a good amount of money to actually pay bills like you say. I had a little bit of money left and I was searching and searching for something that would work. I got into a site and I think it was just wonderful. I paid $6 to start and that was it. They gave me everything else I needed to promote their site. Every person I bring in I get paid for it. I figured it would be easy to get people to pay only $6. I just recently started promoting the site however, but I am a true believe that I can start paying off my bills with this site. If you want you can message me and I would be happy to give you the site. I hope everything works out for you. Good Luck.

Thank you for responding, and I too believe that it is possible to make a living on the Internet. Thanks also for your offer, but I have websites that I spend most of my time promoting and will look at your offer when I find time to devote to another program.
Thanks again,
Karen
