Scam Alert: Avoid These 6 Things in 2023

In 2019, yes 2019, I started researching “Ways to make Money Online” as  you probably  are doing and I found so many opportunities. I worked towards the ones  I had verified sounded easy, yet true enough and started implementing what I learnt about them. Should I shock you? Just as I found so many, so many were SCAM and mere PONZI schemes. I tried all the “Paid Surveys” online I could find and sign up for, all the “watch and be paid ads”, even the ones that required  you to like social media posts and be paid. I did them all and was scammed, severally.
   

  Even against better judgement I fell victim  to Brad365.xyz  in 2022. I don’t know if you ever heard about them… Funny. The platform was paying  well and all. Yes, I know it was paying because my friends were cashing out massively. It was just a thing of not considering  times and seasons.

I think this pained me the most so I decided to compile models  to avoid in the name of “Online Business” . Make sure you run away when you hear “Make Money Online” and these SCAM models in the same statement.

I’ll start with what to avoid with a long spoon. Engaging in them is like dining with the devil and using a short spoon.

AVOID THESE MODELS
1. Online surveys – Purportedly, you simply respond to surveys and you get paid a certain amount. RUN!

If it was that simple, trust me, everyone will be doing surveys right now and smiling to the bank. It is a lie.

2. Get paid to read emails – this one is so dumb I don’t even know how people believe it.

3. “Oil and Gas investment” – also masquerading as “online investment programs” aka, invest #100,000 and get paid 40% every 30/60/90 days.

There are currently new ones making the rounds now.

Who are the shit people who invent these things? And who believes all that shit?

4. Cash Gifting programs – a.k.a MMM and its many cousins (oh when, I was in Russia, I found Mavrodi’s house. If you lost money in MMM, I know where to find his mother, just kidding.😂😉)

All that, “provide help, receive help” nonsense.

Their promoters are morphed into #3 above.

5. Online Multi Level Marketing (MLMs) – pyramid schemes disguised as network marketing opportunities.

They have no real product and focus on recruiting new members, it’s all a hoax , it’s a pyramid and it will definitely come tumbling down.

6. Basically, anything that promises you’ll make a lot of money doing very little to no work is SCAM.

It’s mostly shysters and scammers who promote those things and I don’t care if it’s your trusted cousin telling you to join in.

Avoid them all. RUN!!

If you want to truly, really “make money online,” there are 3 things you must get right from the word go so you don’t waste your time, data, money, energy and effort.

1. DO NOT go to Google and search for “how to make money online”.

If you do so, you may be led down an evil path filled with scams, pyramid schemes, half baked, time wasting activities and despicable human beings who masquerade as “online entrepreneurs”.

99% of people who go this path end up never escaping this maze.

DO NOT DO IT!
Well, if you insist anyways, at least you now know what to avoid since I exposed some of them earlier. Still, make sure you verify them before taking that risk.

Enough said.

2. To make money online, you MUST have something for sale and you must learn how to sell it online.

You can’t cop out by transferring your responsibility to sell to someone else, aha, “do it for me” or think other people will make you rich by “helping”.

Don’t fall for those tricks. You do not “Make Money Online” in a literal sense. You do so by offering something of value, a product or service,in exchange for money.

3. You must choose something real, something that can grow and you must have the discipline/patience to learn and do work to grow it.

Get it?
