no google ads here

I have often been asked why I refuse to participate in the Google adsense program-----where ads bearing similarity to your blog's content are placed along the side of the page, or practically wherever you want them.  You can actually make money from these ads, when an interested person clicks through to view the ad.

The problem is that my blog's chief aim is to present actual work at home programs which are scam-free, and offer a real opportunity to earn money.

Again, the main programs I recommend, i.e. SiteSell, Jim Daniels EasyWeb program,, and Joe Robson's Newbie Club are actual opportunities to own and operate a business from your home provided you are willing to learn the things you need to learn, and to follow through with advertising and marketing methods provided by these gentlemen.

However, it is highly unlikely you would find any of their programs advertised through these aforementioned Google ads.  No, what is advertised are paid survey programs, type at home programs which promise you several hundred dollars a day for a mere 60 minutes per day of work, and a whole slew of other
'opportunities' which will do nothing but take your membership fee, and leave you hanging with 98% of the rest of the folks who believed the well written sales pages, but were provided with pure and simple scams.

So, I will not advertise any type of program here I have not personally verified.  I will not be a hypocrite and tell people to stay away from certain programs, while at the same time running an ad for that very (or similar ) company.

Report and update

Yes, I realize it has been some time since I have posted, but that doesn't mean I haven't been embroiled in an array of work-at-home schemes. 

During this round of research, I entered the world of High Yield Investment Programs, which generally demand a higher risk of losing your money.  It was unbelievable  the number of obvious scammers, many of whom were able to convince  ordinary people  that they would enjoy great riches  through a number of 'investment' vehicles.'  It's likely that 90% of these type programs are set up for failure-----they will pay out for a while, then simply close up shop. 

The FBI, SEC and other government agencies are working overtime trying to curtail these criminals.  I am even helping out with some information I was able to get on one major scammer who extracted 20 million dollars from the unsuspecting. He still remains free.

For the record, I did alright generally (being conservative), and have ended up in the leveraged silver market.

Of course, the real picture here is that one can clearly walk away from many of these programs losing all your money---also,it just isn't for the faint of heart.  It is clear through the postings on related Forums that failure is way more common than success.  Too many sad stories.

Programs are here and paying one day, then gone the next. 

For that reason, I will not be recommending ANY of the 30 or so 'opportunities' I tested out.  Suffice it so say than unless your are willing to learn how to trade foreign currencies (and this is a complicated process) you should stay away from these circles altogether.

As far as Ken Evoy's SiteSell, Jim Daniels, and Joe Robson, (my recommended programs on the on the left)  they are all still alive, well, and moving forward to develop their programs to adapt to the times.  If you can see yourself with your own website, and are able to fully comprehend what niche marketing is, or be willing to develop a profitable affiliate marketing web presence, these are the guys to go with.  Without question.

Now, please do not fall for these business 'opportunities' which promise $5000 per week---they are a dime a dozen-----and will drain your pocketbook. (which is probably already fairly empty)  If you surf the Net at all, I am sure you have all seen things like the Reverse Tunnel, and other impossible dream scenarios.  Stay away.

I am presently investigating the 'real', more work-a day- type jobs, the difference being that the companies involved pay you to stay home and answer customer service calls, become a 'virtual' assistant, and myriad other companies  offering hourly wages.

I have joined practically every newsletter which promotes these type programs, and am considering paying for a subscription to moneyfromhome.com, a reputable firm by some accounts.  I am still doing background research on them, and will report all success to you should I move forward.

So, I am very busy looking into all these programs----I am going to have to join several myself (if I can get hired), so I will have some first hand information for you to digest.

Good luck to everyone.  I will update this blog on a more regular basis in the future.
