10. Get Rich Quick (why would anyone want to get rich slow?)
9. Easy Money From Home (why would anyone want it to be hard)
8. No Technical Skills Required (so what you're telling me is that a monkey could do it, then why don't they solicit monkeys, they work for bananas!)
7. This System Works on Auto-Pilot (sounds great, so I just set it up, sit back, and watch the dollars roll in right?)
6. Make Money Blogging (this sounds good right, but no system can show you how to make content that people will actually read, otherwise you're lucky to make $2/month from Adsense)
5. Get Paid just for Reading Emails (if this was true, we'd all be millionaires right?)
4. Data Entry Jobs Online (what they fail to mention is that this is not a real job, they ask you for money for access to their database with outdated and links that are outright fake)
3. Word Processing Jobs Online (again, not a real job, this is a fake job posing as a real job)
2. Money Making Secrets that Can Make You Rich (in this day in age, don't you think their "secrets" would be available for free somewhere on this new contraption we call the world wide web?)
...and last but not least...
1. How to Turn Your Computer into Your Personal Cash Machine (This is my favorite, whether it's taken literally or not, you have to be a moron to fall for this one, yet, it's still being advertised so someone must be!)

Work from Home with the NO BS ZONE - Welcome!
Work from home with the No BS Zone! Welcome one and all to my blog. I created this as a service for people that are fed up with get rich quick schemes online. The Internet seems to be absolutely overflowing with these big steaming piles of BS! After tirelessly scouring the Internet for legitimate ways to make money online I've learned a couple things.
I'd like to share the things I've learned with you as a service from one online worker to another. Remember, if you really want to work from home on the Internet some day, I'm here to tell you it is in fact possible. But, and this is a big but, you must be willing to be patient and work extremely hard to achieve this goal. It will not happen overnight.
I haven't reached my goal yet, but I'm well on my way to quitting my day job and working from home full time. I know I'll get there but I also know that it's going to take some time. Any website that tells you it's possible for you to start working from home next week or next month and that you can quit your job right away is lying to you!
They are telling you this because they are taking advantage of your hopes and dreams for what is usually a measly $30-50 for their "success kit." If you know what to look for, you can smell their BS from a mile away. Do not ever let these Internet bottom feeders peddle you their wares to you ever again.
If you have fallen for any of these scams, don't feel stupid. Many people including myself have fallen for these. I'm currently 28 years old, and when I was 15 I saw an infomercial by a person named Don Lapre. Perhaps you've heard of this fool. He was a short man with slicked black hair that looked to be in his late 20s. He was selling a "success kit" for a money making system. The way he described it to work was to place tiny classified ads in newspapers around the country for some BS product or service and magically thousands of dollars would start rolling in before you knew it.
I still laugh to this day thinking about how excited this little man got about his "tiny classified ads" and how he started his business in his small one bedroom apartment and grew it to a large business. Remember, I was 15 so I couldn't order it myself just like the infomercial said. So, I asked my mother to order it for me and I would split the $39.95 cost with her.
My mother has a heart of gold, and she wants nothing more than to make her children happy. Naturally, she helped me purchase it and I was so grateful. I told her, "mom, I'm going to be rich, and I'm going to be able to take care of you when you get older."
I was taken by this man and there must have been many more people like me of all ages that had their dreams taken advantage of. I'm sure Mr. Lapre lined his pockets with the money of suckers for as long as he could until enough people spoke out about his scam. See, that's the way these BS schemes work.
These scam artists peddle their phony "success kits" for as long as they can until people finally speak out enough to put them out of business. Then if they can, many of these phonies start a new scam because they don't know how to make an honest dollar. By the way, do you think this guy is selling his tiny classified ad "business opportunity" anymore. No way, the last I heard he was selling vitamins. He was probably forced to stop what he was doing so he had to do something more legitimate like the selling vitamins.
Have you noticed I've used the words "success kit" a lot? That's because this word is one of the red flags used when describing these so-called "business opportunities." These key phrases should be an indication to you that they are in fact fake and you shouldn't waste your money. Also, while we're on the subject of money, never pay someone to show you how to make money.
This is crazy if you think about it, yet many people every year do exactly that. If it still doesn't make sense to you, try an analogy. Would you fill out an application or turn in a resume somewhere if they asked you to pay just to be considered for the position? Of course you wouldn't, and you shouldn't pay someone to learn their "secrets to wealth creation." There's another one of the keywords in the BS dictionary.
In conclusion, I hope this blog is of some use to you and I look forward to your comments. Please follow my blog if you would like as I will keep it fresh with the latest news about what works for making money online. I won't even waste your time talking about what doesn't. Hopefully, I can help steer you clear of all the BS money making scams out there. Again, welcome, and thank you for visiting my blog!
Best Regards,
Justin M.

Work from Home - Why Work When You Can Turk with Amazon Mturk
Work from home with Turking on Amazon Mturk! What is Turking? Turking is working as a self employed worker on Amazon's global work marketplace. The service is called Mechanical Turk and is hosted by Amazon.com and was launched in 2005.
Mechanical Turk is based on the idea that there are still many things that humans can do much better than computers, such as identifying objects in a photo or video, transcribing audio recordings, writing articles, researching data details, and many more kinds of tasks.
These tasks are referred to in the Turk world as HITs or Human Intelligence Tasks. These HITs pay anywhere from $0.01 to $25 or more depending on the particular task. In general, the more difficult the task is, the more that it will pay.
I currently use Mechanical Turk regularly, and can average about $40 per day. The time it takes to complete this much work varies, but I would say normally it takes anywhere from 5-8 hours to do this work. Now, you're not going to get rich working on Mechanical Turk. In fact, it's currently hard to make a living solely using this service.
The problem is that the HITs don't pay enough yet. It's possible if Turk gets corporate companies signed on then the amount and pay of the work could dramatically go higher, but this doesn't look like it will happen in the foreseeable future.
All things considered, it's still a useful way to make some extra money on the Internet. The requester a.k.a. your boss take anywhere from a couple hours to several weeks to either approve or deny your work. I have found that if you do quality work you will get about 95% of your work approved and it usually takes at the most a couple days to get paid in most cases.
The best thing about Turk is how the pay works. Other work at home services like doing surveys or other BS scams pay you via a paper check every month, or not at all. Turk transfers the money into your checking account usually within 24 hours from the time that it's approved. Good luck getting that kind of expedited payment service with any other work from home opportunity. The payment is safely transferred to you via Amazon's payment service that is similar to PayPal.
Let's be clear, Amazon Mechanical Turk is far from perfect. I'll be the first one to admit that. However, it does happen to be an extremely easy and convenient way to make some extra money in your spare time in your underwear in front of the computer or even lounging on your couch in front of the TV if you have a laptop.
This one is a keeper. I would even go as far to say that Mechanical Turk could be the future of work as we know it. Work similar to this has even spawned a new catch phrase. It's called "crowdsourcing." Crowdsourcing is defined as the act of taking a task traditionally performed by an employee and outsourcing it to an undefined, generally large group of people or community in the form of an open call.
Other good examples of crowdsourcing include the political action group MoveOn.org and the extremely popular online free dictionary known as Wikipedia. These examples are proof that this phenomenon is not going away any time soon. I encourage you to give Amazon Mechanical Turk a try. This service passes the No BS Zone with flying colors!
