How to, and how not to, make money online... but don't get caught out.
Have you ever been tempted by the promise of hundreds of pounds a month for very little effort? Maybe "data entry", "home typist" or "posting articles"?
Well you can make money online, some people, with a considerable investment in time will make the sorts of figures legitimately, using well-recognised tools such as Google Adsense and affiliate programs. These are usually the people with something constructive to say.
Everyone else is making money trying to sell you the dream, whereas the reality is they're selling you a pyramid scheme - you pay money up front, then they send you an ebook or "training materials". When the training arrives, you get that sinking feeling, and your "non-refundable" investment is gone.
Many of these schemes simply tell you how to do the thing you've just fallen for (e.g. if you've responded to an advert about working from home, your new "job" will be posting adverts to convince others to do the same).
I can't recommend a site like http://www.safefromscams.co.uk/ highly enough. Do your homework, and ask yourself that all important "too good to be true" question before you shell out any money.
