Snake Oil Salesmen

Step right up folks. Dont crowd, there's plenty to go around. This magic elixir cures all ailments from arthritis to yellow fever.

If you suffer from nausea, vomiting, water weight gain, lower back pain, receding hairline, eczema, seborrhea, psoriasis, itching and chafing, liver spots, blood clots, ringworm, excessive body odor, uneven tire wear, pyorrhea, gonorrhea, diarrhea, halitosis, scoliosis, loss of bladder control, hammertoe, low sperm count, warped floors, cluttered drawers, hunchback, heart attack, feline leukemia, athlete's foot, head lice, clubfoot, MS, MD, VD, fleas, anxiety, sleeplessness, drowsiness, poor gas mileage, tooth decay, parvo, warts, unibrow, lazy eye, fruit flies, chest pains, clogged drains, hemorrhoids, dry heaving or sexual dysfunction  - you can be cured of all these and more. For only a paltry $9.99 per month you can enjoy the health of your youth...

Since jobs are scarce, people have been looking for alternatives to produce an income to support themselves and their family by enrolling in any of the countless home business opportunities that are spread like feces across the internet. Weight loss products, essential oils, vitamin supplements, exercise equipment, potions and lotions...they're all out there in one way, shape or manner. They all share one common denominator. They are all overpriced worthless garbage with the sole intent of only putting a few bucks in the distributors bank.

Now Im not saying that there are no legitimate work at home opportunities out there - there ARE - but the vast majority (98%) are worthless, useless, miserable, no good, no account, good for nothing meaningless crap.

So how does one find the REAL opportunities amongst the field of manure that inundates the internet and social media? They ALL make the same claims of seemingly overnight riches.

P.T. Barnum proclaimed that there was a sucker born every minute. If you are looking to work from home - which in and of itself boasts a large rate of failure for various reasons - and hear outlandish claims like "earn 21,057.63 by the end of the week with NO selling, NO recruiting, NO money to join, NO work involved..." or "make money while you sleep" avoid these "opportunities" like the fucking plague because you will be disappointed at the results you actually receive. MLM or Network Marketing is famous for this shit.

Caveat emptor. BUYER BEWARE! These offers are as abundant and just as fraudulent as chain letters or finding you have lineage ties to Nigerian royalty. 


So if you are seeking an alternative to a job to provide you an income, STAY TUNED because during the coming weeks I will be discussing what I have found to be legit money makers. Working from home has its many pro's and con's and the one that I particularly enjoy the most is the ability to write my own paycheck and the freedom to spend time with my family when I so choose.

Right now, check out affiliate marketing. Its not easy but nothing is at the beginning. If you are being told making money from home is initially easy, you are being lied to and scammed. Leave your comments below.
