Is Stuffing Envelopes A Scam?
We have received some emails asking this very question. The simple answer is YES!
This is one of the oldest work from home scams out there. The ad or website promises you will make money stuffing envelopes. Some promise $3-$4 per envelope, some promise even more than that. They all promise plenty of work and that you can do this on your own time.
They also promise that there is tons of work, leaving you believing that you will be able to stuff your way to riches working from home.
Trust us this is a scam. If you step back and think about it, nothing makes sense. There is no way that sending out mail advertisements could be this profitable. To pay you even $3 an envelope sent, they would have to make sales on almost every advertisement you sent out.
Normally this scam makes its money by getting you to send in a registration fee. They always put something like: This money is to screen for the really interested people that will do the job or something like that. You send the money and they send you some bogus information on a website that tells you the secret to this business. The secret is you mail out affiliate offers and try to make money off of people getting the offers, coming to your affiliate website, and purchasing an offer. You can do this without having to pay the registration fee to get this crazy secret!
Another way this works is you send the registration fee and they send you items to fill out and seal up in an exact way that they specify. You send all the envelopes back and they claim that you didn’t do exactly what they asked. So not only did they make money from your registration fee, but you also did free work. Meaning they will send the envelopes out with the advertisements you worked hard on, and they will get all the money made from people receiving the mail buying the affiliate products.
We have also noticed that there is a type of never ending chain scam. Meaning you send your registration fee and they send you information on how to set up an ad on classified ads sites and you then try to get people to send you a registration fee for the same information.
Anyway you slice it, IT IS A SCAM!
There are plenty of ways to make legit money on this website. Mailing out junk mail is a way to try to attract new visitors to a website, but it is not very effective unless you get people to do the work for you for free. This is what this scam is. Think about how much junk mail you get in a week. How many times have you received this mail and jumped straight over to your computer and ordered something?
So stick to better programs and sites, and stay away from this scam.
Getting Free Exposure
Filed under: Affiliate Marketing, SEO And Links, Traffic, Work At Home
Not matter how you are trying to work at home, you must have exposure to succeed. You must advertise in order to get recognized. It doesn’t matter if you are promoting your website, a work from home program, CPA products, Clickbank products, your own products, or even trying to get people to sign up under you so you make even more money on your surveys. You must advertise to succeed.
This is where most people run short on the money. You need money to advertise, in order to make money. Now there is one way to get around this problem. There is a system that you can use for free. This system allows you to write articles and submit them. They take your articles and place them on other people’s blogs. The blog owners get content and you get exposure. You are allowed to place two links to where ever you like. Meaning you can put them going to your website, products, affiliate link, so on. This is your exposure.
Unlike article directories, this method is very successful. A lot of these blogs are visited by quite a few people. There is almost no other place on the web where you can have this kind of advertising power for free.
Here is another food for thought item. There are many people out there that put up tons of blogs and make good money off of using Google’s Adsense Advertisements on them. The problem in the past was coming up with new content for these blogs to keep visitors and search engines liking them. With this system you can enter you blogs and get free content all the time. This will keep the search engines happy and get you some visitors allowing you to make money off of the advertisements. All you have to do is find some cheap hosting, a domain name, and set up a WordPress blog. This is all very easy and can be done even by a newbie.
If you have a website, or site you are promoting, then you can set up some blogs in the same niche. Get the free content and ad the main site you are promoting to the blog roll. This will give you tons of links going to your main sites from your blogs getting you some search engine love and free traffic. To use this method, I would recommend getting Class C hosting. This is where your hosting plan gives you different IP address so all your sites and links are not coming from the same place. If you did this method you could promote your main sites with your same niche blogs, put adsense up on the blogs to make money, and also submit articles to go out on even more relevant blogs. This would give whatever site you were promoting quite a big presence that the search engines would notice.
This is the kind of power this free website offers.
