ALL THE WORK-AT-HOME JOBS: SCAM-SCANNED

Ad Posting

Now here’s a simple program that also involves placing Ads, but not on your own site – all kinds of other ‘classified ad posting’ sites, Blogs, & Forums. Here you often get paid for posting the ad alone – no clicks and no ‘sales’ required. As already mentioned earlier, many ‘work-at-home’ job providers often disguise ‘Ad posting’ jobs by naming them ‘foorm filling’ jobs or even ‘Data Entry’ Jobs, or ‘typing’ jobs. The ‘typing’ or ‘form filling’ involved is actually typing the Ad text provided to you in the box provided for that purpose on a classified site, apart from first filling your own personal details (Name, Address, E-Mail, Phone No., your chosen ‘Username/User ID’ and‘Password’, etc., some of which are optional, into a ‘Registration Form’, after clicking the ‘New User’, ‘Register’, ‘Sign In’ or ‘Sign Up’ or similar button on the classified site, usually at the top left or right. Clicking any of these buttons opens a new page where you have to fill up the form and then click ‘Submit’, ‘Register’ or some other appropriate button. Nowadays there are automated ‘form’filling’ software like Rooform, whose basic version you can down;oad for free, fill up standar repetitive details and save. When you go to a classified site and open the ‘registration’ form, you can click on a name you filled in the ‘roboform’ software and the standard details entered will be automatically filled up if the items to be filled are properly described in ‘Roboform’.

After registering, you will normally get an e-mail at the Mail address you mentioned in the form, where you need to click an ‘activation’ link. After this, you can return to the site and click a ‘Log in’ button, to open various options for posting various ad materials, starting with clicking ‘Post Ad’, ‘Add Ad’, ‘New Ad’, ‘Post Classified’, ‘Place an Ad’ or similar button, then selecting one by one the most appropriate ‘category’ or ‘head’ and ‘sub category’ or ‘sub-head’ for your ad (like category ‘Jobs’, sub category ‘work-at-home’, if your ad promises to provide such jobs), next filling boxes marked ‘Ad Title’ and then ‘Ad Content/Description’ or similar appropriate names. To do this, you must first store the Ad Title and Ad Matter in a suitable MS Word file. When you want to fill up the relevant boxes in a classified ad site, you must open this Word file, copy the Title and ‘description/content’ and paste them in the appropriate boxes in the ad site by pasting; remember, your ad site won’t have a ‘copy’ or ‘paste’ icon or button on the toolbar. So, for copying any matter from the site, you need to highlight that portion, then press ‘Cntrl’ and ‘C’ buttons together on your Keyboard. Conversely, if you want to paste a copied matter in a box in the ad site, you must place the cursor at the start of this box, then press ‘Ctrl’ and ‘V’ buttons on your Keyboard simultaneously

After getting registered with a provider like ‘Global Info Service’ through their website , you will usually be provided with an ‘username’ and ‘password’ to access the provider’s ‘Member's Area’, which will display thousands of Ad Texts of different companies. These texts have to be simply copied and then pasted on proper locations in Free classified websites, Blogs & Forums. But there are sites which give you a single Ad matter to post, and hen you can enter the text of that Ad also into ‘Roboform’ for automatic filling up. Normally, you can post upto 5 ads in the same classified site, but their titles and content should be different.

Now, there are some stipulations you have to abide by. For ex, below are the stipulations by ‘Global Info Service’:

Every Month you have to post a minimum no. of Ads in order to be paid. This depends on the Plan you select.
For Executive Plan -
Minimum of 100 Ads, maximum 1500
Payment per Ad: Rs. 5
For Professional Plan -
Minimum of 100 Ads, maximum 5000.
Payment per Ad: Rs. 15

As for other types of data entry work, here also, the higher the payment, the greater the workload, with each ad text being longer

Now, the question is, will the above payment be made only if an ad posted gets clicked by a visitor to the Website or Classified Ad site, or, worse, only if the click converts to a sale?

Unlike ‘affiliate’ programs, ‘Ad Posting’ jobs may or may not require any further fortuitous actions as mentioned. ‘Global Info Service’ pays (or promises to pay) merely for posting as ‘regular’ earning, irrespective of whether it is clicked by someone or any sale is generated through it. Over and above, this BPO gives additional income if a posted Ad is clicked or generated a sale is through it, depending on the planchosen. If you workunder Executive Plan, you will be paid Rs.25 per click & Rs.300 per sale. In case you work under Professional Plan, you will be paid Rs.50 per click & Rs.500 per sale.

But very often, though the Website of the Job provider talks only of posting or placing the ad matter they provide on different sites, when you register for a fee, what they send your are instructions including stipulation that your payments will be linked to the clicks or ‘leads’ generated vide your ads! The greatest deceit now in vogue is to cloak this conditional payment as simple ‘Form Filling’work. There’s this site called “allinternet.biz” or http://www.emailnetjobs.com which describes the job as simple sending and processing of E-Mails, but ends up with the stipulation of your applying to ‘Clickbank’ and other Internet market sites, become their approved members, then send E-Mails to prospective buyers by sending your pre-written enticing E-mails to various persons placing related ads on different Websites, along with a‘code’ or ‘link’ you get from the Internet marketing site. If the ad poster clicks on the link in this Mail and then proceeds to complete the related purchase transaction, you get a commission payment! Do you think this can even remotely be called a simple E-Mail sending or processing job with no other strings attached? There are other sites which play similar hide-and-seek with unwary and eager persons looking for simple home jobs on their PCs. Wonder of wonders! If you make a ‘google’ search with the phrase “Paid to Post Ads Jobs”, the very topmost site displayed is www.paying2mail.com, which plays exactly the same trick as http://www.emailnetjobs.com, but for a greater registration fee of Rs. 799, holding out the bait of earning Rs. 25,000/- per day. Then there is the site www.imperialbiz.com/ Payment is linked to clicks by ad visitors on the AD, followed by an auto-generated E-Mail to your Mailbox. These Mail addresses need to be filled up by you in a form you can access in the site’s ’Member’s Area’ after logging in with your Username and Password. The site promises refund of registration fee if no clicks are generated on ads posted within a month, provided you have tried sincerely. Unfortunately, when I posted Ads in more than 70 sites within 3 weeks and then asked for the refund as not a single auto-generated E-Mail was received, do you know what they replied: The initial fee was non-refundable, and they would only be kind enough not to charge further monthly fees!

What these sites deliver to you for anything between Rs. 250 – 600 one-time registration/administrative fee is simply INFORMATION on various seller websites like ‘CJ’ or ‘Clickbank’ and how to become their affiliates to post ads for them in return for ‘pay-per-click’ or even actual ‘sales’ through sales, that we discussed in the ‘Affiliate’ programs under Part II (‘Affiliate Marketing’). In fact, the info is more or less a copy of what the so-called much-advertised cash-generating ‘Google Cashkey’ gives you, but without the free website they give as a bounus. However, as a ‘consolation’, these sites do give you info on various free ‘survey’ sites and list of classified websites where you can post ads for ‘Affiliate Marketing’. If you send me an e-mail at the address below, I will promptly send you their entire material absolutely for free, if it is of any use to you, or at least to stop them fooling you with their false and misleading promises which suppress and window-dress the actual material they deliver:
aparna123.dutta@gmail.com

Your PC must have ‘Outlook Express’ installed if you want to e-mail me directly by clicking on the link above; otherwise, simply use your own e-mail site and the address above.

But these sites are again promoted by a site called ‘Netjobs4all’ (put www. before this name and “.com” after, to open the site), which promises to provide all kinds of ‘data entry’ jobs free of any registration or one-time cost, ostensibly for providing you ‘free website’, cover administrative costs, etc.

Back to saner talk. To get more information on other ‘Ad Posting’ job providers, just enter the words “Ad Posting” in Google, Yahoo or other ‘Search Box’ and click ‘Search’, to open a host of Website references to be clicked one by one for further details and exercise your choice.

Content Writing in (Community) ‘Forums’

This job involves writing on various topics in various Forums, which pay you for each article posted. Some of these forums specify the topics, while some invite you to be a ‘freelancer’ and write whatever you please, provided it passes their ‘quality’ standards (if it doesn’t, you are rejected, i.e, you are advised that you can no longer contribute). Some forums, like the one I am posting this article in, are content to let you copy the contents of your subject from one or more forums and paste them in any order to make a coherent article of your choice – of course, in a sense, your choice is restricted to the ‘threads’ or topics you find posted already in their Forum – but there are so many ‘threads’ to choose from that the choice is practically unlimited.
Only one word of caution: Even if you simply copy-paste by sourcing different website contents, in order to be eligible for payment, your postings should be original as far as the particular Forum is concerned. That means you need to at least glance through the posts under a particular ‘thread’ before you go off in a hurry to post your own one! Besides, although theoretically unlimited, the ‘thread’-wise topics mostly deal with Internet-related subjects – how far are you familiar with such topics?
