Digital products related to work from home resources are quite popular in clickbank which include Paid surveys website, work from home kit, make money online courses etc. But you should take extra precaution while buying them.

I always receive regular mail originating from countries like Nigeria which claims me to be winner of some crazy amount but now everyone is aware of their spam mail and very few might be getting trapped into those lottery scams etc. And the best part is that they also publish their genuine email and phone number for you to believe the mail as guanine as possible.

But why I am talking of so called 419 Scams (aka Advance Fee fraud, “Nigeria scam” or “West African” scam) in this post? It is because I am finding the same thing getting repeated in work at home opportunities. As discussed many times before, people love easy money through Internet and many newbie who want to capitalize these opportunity gets trapped into buying some work at home or makes money online or paid survey kit.

Not to mention there are 100’s of products in clickbank if not 1000’s and all of them claim to make a millionaire in a year time. Many of them even claim that you will earn $5000 per week while you are sleeping. Whereas the low cost kit are priced anything between $10-$150, many courses are available at a much higher price ($300 +). Not to mention they give 75% commission to affiliate which proves the fact selling the product is more important than pricing it or product worth. Even if the product real worth is $0, seller price it $50 with affiliate commission to 80% i.e. $40 and original seller keeps $10 happily.

Both the above website is there in clickbank and I know it sounds too good to be true because it’s a scam. You are not only going to waste $35 but you are going to lose faith in the system of making money online. Believe me, making money online is very much a reality and earning $10K per month is also not a distant dream but you need to work towards it just like any other business. You need to give time, effort and hard work. So my sincere advise to all the guys reading this blog to spread this message to newbie because I don’t want anyone to suffer what I did 6 years back.

One should avoid fraud websites like “http://www.netsurveyjobs.com” , “http://www.homejobs4indians.net” and “http://www.onlinefreetimejob.com” if you are serious about making money online. My advice: “Don’t pay and make sure no one pays”. Here is the review

In one of my earlier post titled paid survey scams in clickbank, I mentioned few websites which claims to make a living through paid survey and paying huge commission to affiliate for their product to get sold.

In recent times, I have seen the same trend getting developed in India and they are not using clickbank to sell their product. Instead they have their own one page website with integrated paypal payment button and focus is only on Google Adwords. I must say, this is smarter way because they don’t have to pay 75% commission to their affiliate. As per my understanding, the conversion rate is quite high (1 in 20), so they don’t spend more than 10% of their earning in advertisement. The bottom-line is high profit i.e. for a product selling price of $10 while the seller earns $2.5 through clickbank, he earns $9 if he sells directly.

Then the question is “If this is the case, all the sellers will start using direct advertisement and will stop using clickbank”. To be true most of the sellers follow both form of advertisement and in both the format seller get almost the same commission. This is due to higher CPC in other countries compared to India and conversion rate too differs country wise.

In Countries like USA or UK, More people are aware of the bad things happening around and they know the truth behind this loud promise. While in India, the case is entirely different.

Why conversion rate is high in India for ‘ make money online ’ or ‘ work at home’ products:
Internet is still new to the country and 80% households in small town still does not have computer in their home. They still go to cybercafé to check the mail. But the expansion is happening in a very fast pace and people are learning about the possibility of earning through Internet now (while in other developed countries, this phase would have been done 5 years back).

The unemployment rate is quite high and even if you are employed, you get a package of (Rs. 5000 – Rs.25000 per month) which is close to $100 – $ 500 per month. So when someone comes across any advertisement promising $500 per week, it becomes quite natural for them to get attracted and pay for their services.

So I will advise my reader in India to stay away from any such companies and do proper research, before you pay a penny for any digital product. Believe me or not they are not worth it. And there are many which are available for free over the Internet but most valuable.

In one of my post titled ‘Work at home scams – there are so many scammers around’, I discussed about two such website “http://www.netjobsguide.com” and “http://www.cashbynetjobs.com”. I would like to extend the list to few more website which you should ignore. They not only look like scam but they are. These websites are “http://www.netsurveyjobs.com”  “http://www.homejobs4indians.net” “http://www.onlinefreetimejob.com” so my final word please stay away from these website and don’t pay to them.

Innocent people from small town will be forced to believe that they are genuine, why? Look at the website image of http://www.netsurveyjobs.com below:

They have given their phone number, location map, used lots of big company name like Microsoft, HP, IBM, Sony etc and the most funniest part is “Registered with Government of Tamilnadu Firm Registration No: 124 – 2009 – 8 – 10”. This registration is nothing but normal firm registration which you can get done by spending Rs. 2000 ($50) and they are proud to write this in bold . Mark the word “Registered with Government of Tamilnadu”, most of the guys in small towns will be forced to believe this company as legitimate work at home job provider.

Verdict: Stay away

Last week, someone asked for my opinion on “http://www.netjobsguide.com” and “http://www.cashbynetjobs.com” to enter into the make money online arena. And as expected I got a shock when I looked into this website. Again a classic example of scams happening all over the Internet.I even googled it and found so many complaints about “http://www.netjobsguide.com” and “http://www.cashbynetjobs.com“. And whenever there is a positive comments, you can easily identify that the comment poster is no one but site owner himself.

However this is not new in online world and most of the guys here knows about it who desire to work from home. But there are many newbie who are hearing of making money online for the first time and getting trapped in these fraud. These kind of websites assures you a monthly income of $1000 or INR 40000+ every month working part time which looks very lucrative for people to get attracted.

An average person in India earns on an average of INR 10000-15000/month (in the field of sales executive, advisory, BPO, office job, administration job etc), that too for 9-6 job which even gets stretched to 9-8 - There are lakhs of guys who does not get even the mentioned offer of earning 10K/month. So when they see these kind of opportunity, they never mind paying Rs. 500 to Rs. 1500 to buy “make money online’ kits from these scammers.

Have a look on these kind of website… An excerpt

“What is MY JOB?

There are many Multinational Advertising Websites on Internet from which you can earn good income without any payment. First of all, you have to register to these websites. Registrations to all the websites are absolutely Free. Once you get registered to these websites, you will start receiving paid emails directly in your inbox. These emails will contain advertisers website links. You have to click these links and go to advertisers website and view them for 30-40 seconds. For this, advertising companies will pay you directly.

You are helping the advertising websites and they are returning the favor. They are able to pay you because their advertisers pay them every time they send you a promotion or an ad. Each advertising website has a contract with the advertisers that their products should be seen by a large number of viewers say about few million viewers.”

So what this guy has mentioned is nothing but PTC websites where you do not get more than a cent for each click, even if you sit for the whole day, you wont get money to have one time lunch.

Some other excerpt:

“EARN BY PAID ONLINE SURVEYS

Multinational companies (Global Corporate) promote and improve their products and services by collecting opinion from people all over the world. Before launching new products or services, they need to find out consumer preferences. They conduct survey and utilize the results to improve their products.

After launching a product they conduct survey to study the consumer mind. Also to compare their market reach with their competitive brand they conduct survey.”

We all know how genuine are these survey companies. Even if they are genuine e.g Ciao, why do I need their support to know about these companies and not to forget you will not get get more than one survey in a week. Lets assume Rs. 100 for one survey so again just Rs. 400 in a month. And remember it takes an hour to complete one survey (Rs. 100 for an hour is not a part time).

There are many scammers who promise you to get job in data entry. Again the same story where they will ask you to visit all free classified websites and popular forum and post advertisement about their services. In return they get back-links and many more individual to get trapped and you will never be paid.

My sincere advise, please do not pay even a single penny to these scammers if you want to earn online. If you do, you are not only going to loose your money and time but you will also end up with frustration of working online. Remember It is very much possible to achieve your dreams and there are many free resources available. In case if you get any doubt, feel free to contact me.
