Making Money Online Research

So recently, I've been doing a ton of research on cheap or free ways to make money. There are a billion scams/deceiving opportunities out there. I think you have a way better chance of not getting scammed if the opportunity/sign up is free. Scammers just want your money. That's not to say that paying something WON'T make you money, but it's just way riskier. And most of us don't have tons of extra money to invest in these different opportunities. So you ALWAYS need to research the company before you sign up or pay them money. Remember too, that when you google "Passport to Wealth - Review" (just an example), not all the sites are objective. Quite often I've come across so-called "reviews" written by the companies own members! Of course you're going to get a good review. So you can't just read one review of the company and be satisfied. Another good thing to google is, "The company name - scam". Then you might find people writing about how this particular company is a scam for whatever reason. There are even websites out there that research for you which money making opportunities are scams and which are not.

Anyways, it's been interesting to say the least. There are a billion opportunites out there. And in my research, I've stumbled across so many new and unique (or so it seems) ideas on how to make money online. There's one out there that you pay $997 for the membership or whatever, then you sell the same package to others (apparently the system sells it for you?) and your first two sales go to your sponsor, then after that they go to you. And the thing is, you get 100% commission. So you get $997 for every $997 sale, how the heck does that work? Does that mean that everyone involved is just paying each other money?! Jack buys the membership and pays his sponsor($997), then his first two sales ($997 each) go directly to his sponsor, then he finally can make his $997 per sale. So, if you're the sponsor, for every person you sign up, you make like, $3000, assuming they make two sales. Anyways, it sounds like there's no actual product or service. Anyways, that's a lot of money to invest! Definitely not the free opportunity I'm looking for, but intriguing nonetheless. I'll write more later..

The 997 thing, that's a pyramid scheme, and they are COMPLETELY illegal in the USA. Stay away... stay very far away, because even getting involved, even if you are an "innocent" who doesn't know it's a pyramid scheme, the government does NOT care, and you can go to jail for participating.
