Home Biz Now – Scam or Legit Online Money Making Opportunity?

If you are looking to buy into this Home Biz Now system you should read this first. This place is not what it appears to be. Is Home Biz Now a scam? I don’t know if I’d go as far to say that but I can say that there is a lot of “scammy” activity going on with this program.

In this review I’ll be going over what it really is and what you need to know. While you can make money with it the reality is that its just not as good as they lead you to believe it is.

Home Biz Now Review

Home Biz Now claims to be a turn-key system that is done for you. It claims you can make massive commissions with it and even says that it comes with sales people that will help you make sales. And while some of this is true it is very misleading.

Home Biz Now doesn’t actually even exist. Its actually just part of a sales funnel to get you to buy into another program that I am very familiar with.

Whats Really Going On Here

This Home Biz Now system funnels you into buying MOBE, or My Online Business Empire, which is an online marketing training program that has been around for some time. I come across fake programs like this all the time such as Rookie Profit System & Online Millionaire System that funnel you into MOBE.

They don’t mention anything about MOBE in the sales page but if you click on the earnings disclaimer you will find this…

The creator of the Home Biz Now site is an affiliate for MOBE and gets paid when people join. This is basically what you will be doing to if you join MOBE. The focus of this program is to get members to go out and promote it to other people.

You buy in to make money online and then you make money online by getting other people to buy in…. its a circle.

The training provided and the done-for-you sales funnels, etc that they give you are intended to get you to sell the same program to others.

The Cost of Doing Business

The entry cost to get in to MOBE is $47/mo but this is just the beginning of things. If you do end up buying in make sure to keep your wallet nearby because you will be needing it again soon.

MOBE’s products get extremely expensive and some cost OVER $10,000 and even $20,000. The kicker here is that in order to sell these products and earn commissions you first have to buy them. This is what keeps the money flowing.

Of course you don’t have to buy the more expensive products but you will pretty much feel forced to because without them you won’t be able to make much.

Can You Really Make Money?

MOBE does provide good training and professional tools and you really can make money with it. But the reality here is that it is just not as good as they make it seem.

When programs like this get their members to promote the same program the market gets very saturated. That is why some affiliates are making fake programs like Home Biz Now to try to sell MOBE.

Don’t get me wrong, there are people making a lot of money with MOBE, I’m just saying that it is not as easy as they make you believe it is.

Conclusion on Home Biz Now – Scam?

Ok, so Home Biz Now doesn’t even exist. It is nothing more than part of a sales funnel to get people to buy into MOBE. And while you can make money here they make it sound better than it is. The sales pitch overall is misleading and I think there will be a decent number of people that end up buying in and then try to get their money back.

So whether you consider it a scam or not is your own choice. One thing is for sure though… I wouldn’t recommend the real program here (MOBE) especially for beginners. One of the main reasons for this is that it is simply too expensive for many of those looking to make money online. Not everyone has thousands of dollars to spend on tools and training.

If you are looking for a more affordable and less risky way to make money online then I suggest taking a look at this program. Not only is it 100x more affordable, but it is also more realistic that the average Joe can make money with it. This is the same place I learned to make money online back in 2015, and now I do this for a living.

Easy Money Scams

What is OnlineNetCareer.com? – Read This Before Using This Site!

OnlineNetCareer.com claims to be the best place to find opportunities to succeed online but I beg to differ with this statement. This place is not the amazing opportunity finder that it leads you to believe it is, not even close to it.

In this short review I’ll be going over what is OnlineNetCareer.com and everything you need to know. Do not go through with any of the opportunities that it refers you to without reading this first. You will understand why shortly.

OnlineNetCareer.com Review

OnlineNetCareer.com poses as a legitimate online job finder website but it is far from legitimate. The soul purpose of this site is to make money off of desperate people looking to make money online.

Overall this site is what I would call a scam and I would never recommend anyone to use it.

It is similar to scam job finder sites like Top Jobs Reviewed.

How This Site Works

All this site does is funnels you to “money making opportunities” online that are scams. It is a single page site and no matter where you click it will direct you to scam programs.

The people behind this site are affiliates for the scam programs. When people they refer buy into the programs they get paid commissions for referring them there in the first place.

Now I don’t have a problem with promoting products online….. when they are legitimate. The problem I have is that this place is promoting complete scams that will just leave people with less money than when they started.

An Example:

I’m sure this site changes the programs that it is promoting all the time but currently, as I am writing this, it is promoting a scam called Accelerated Income. I actually already reviewed this scam and you can read about it here if you would like.

Here is a summary of the scam: Accelerated Income claims you can easily make $279+ per day posting links from home, which takes 2 minutes on average per link. They make it seem like it is the greatest opportunity on the face of the earth, and while it is possible to make money like this, what they tell you is extremely misleading.

The bottom line is that this program is not as great as it seems. People buying into it will be sorely disappointed if they are expecting to make the income that they tell you is possible.

Basically what will happen when you buy into it is you will be given some really poor training and a website so that you can make money. Both will leave a lot to be desired and you will be pushed to buy upsells in order to make money, which also will be poor quality and won’t work out.

Scam Promotions and Lies

Not only does this OnlineNetCareer.com site promote known online scams, but they also lie to you right on their site. I think its worth mentioning that the testimonials displayed are fake.

The images that are used in these testimonials are stock photos that anyone can buy and use online as they wish. And since they are fake it is only logical to assume that the written portion of the testimonials are fake as well.

Conclusion on OnlineNetCareer.com – Scam for Sure

This place is a scam and there is no doubt about it. It is just a funnel that is set up to lure unsuspecting people into scams that will make them little to no money online. It will make the owners of the site money but not you.

I’m sure you were suspicious of this site to begin with. I mean after all you did click on my review after doing a bit of research.

When it comes to making money online there are a lot more scams out there than legit opportunities that I can recommend. However…. gun to my head, what is the best program out there? This is it. I have been a member since 2015 and it took me from nothing at all to making a living online.

Easy Money Scams

Is Fix Monthly Income a Scam? – Read This Before Wasting Time

FixMonthlyIncome.com claims that you can easily earn money online by referring friends to their program. But is this legit? Every time I hear “easy money” online I get a little suspicious… and rightly so. With all the scams online you can never be too careful. But anyways, is Fix Monthly Income a scam or could this possibly be the opportunity you have been waiting for.

I looked into this program and in this review I’ll be going over a few things that you definitely should know. While you can make money here it is not the amazing opportunity that you may think it is.

Fix Monthly Income Review

Fix Monthly Income claims to pay members for getting people to click their referral link. They are free to sign up with and they tell you that literally all you have to do is get people to click your link in order to make money.

At $5 a click this would be a pretty darn good money maker……. IF it were legitimate. But its not, and I’ll be going over why this is the case shortly.

How They Say You Make Money

They make it sound as simple as possible. All you have to do is share your link and get people to click it. And you will be able to earn $5 just for someone clicking it. You don’t need that person to sign up or do anything. A simple click of the link will earn you $5.

They make it sound as easy as possible and tell you to start out by posting on social websites like Facebook, Twitter, etc.

But this makes no sense at all.

Why This Makes No Sense

In order for them to pay you money they have to be making money in some way right? And what they tell you is that they make money by advertising. They say that when you share your link and help drive traffic to the website fixmonthlyincome.com they make more money from more people seeing their ads.

This is all fine and dandy. It makes sense in theory and I know this is a legitimate way to make money but there is NO proof of this actually being the case. In fact there are NO ADVERTISEMENTS on the website. So this does not add up to being true.

If there are no advertisements on the site then there is no way that they can be making money in this way.

How They Really Make Money

More than likely what they are doing is selling personal information to scammers online. When you join the site you have to enter your name, email, etc. This information will probably be sold so don’t be surprised if you start receiving a bunch of spam emails if you have already signed up here.

I see sites similar to this all the time. Many of them are lottery type sites like OMG Sweeps that have you enter your information for a chance to win money. These are fake and their only purpose is to get your info.

Can You Make Money Referring People?

So they are obviously lying about how they make money but nonetheless they are still making money, just not as they tell you. So can you still make money by referring people to the site?

The answer is probably not. First off, they have a $300 cash out minimum. Most people will probably give up before ever reaching this amount. You will need to refer 60 people to get this much and that is a lot if you are just going to post on social media like they tell you to.

Because this site is full of lies and is completely untrustworthy, it is likely that they will not pay members even when they do reach the threshold. I was able to find complaints about them not paying on sites like Ripoff Report as you can see below…

Conclusion on Fix Monthly Income – Scam?

As far as I see this place is definitely a scam. There is no doubt that they lie to you because what they say just doesn’t make any sense. They tell you that they make money from advertising on their site yet there are no advertisements on their site.

This is not a legitimate money making opportunity unfortunately.

Paid Survey Sites

Is Top 10 Best Paid Surveys a Scam? – Honest Review

Top 10 Best Paid Surveys is one of many paid survey sites online where you can earn some extra cash in your spare time. But is this site any good and it it worth your time? Or is Top 10 Best Paid Surveys a scam that is just going to leave you frustrated and discouraged at the end of the day?

In this review I’ll be going over all you need to know about this site before you decide to join or not. I’ll be going over how you make money, how much you can expect to make, some complaints and more.

Top 10 Best Paid Surveys Review

Top 10 Best Paid Surveys is a UK based paid survey site owned and operated by C2O Media Ltd. They aren’t actually a market research company that gets paid for collecting market research. They are different than most survey sites that fall into this category and I’ll explain why.

They are like Survey Compare & Survey Sheep if you have ever heard of them. If you have not you will see what I mean in a second.

They tell you that you will be able to earn up to £300 a month but you would have to be one heck of a serious survey taker to be able to earn this amount. For the vast majority of people out there this will be way out of reach.

How it Works

Remember how I just said that Top 10 Best Paid Surveys is different from most paid survey site? Well that is because they don’t actually have surveys… they are just a middle man that refers people to other paid survey sites.

When you first join you will be asked to select survey sites that you also want to join, as you can see below…

These sites that they are referring you to are where you will actually make the money taking surveys.

And these sites are nothing out of the ordinary. Toluna, Global Test Market, Inbox Pounds (UK version of Inbox Dollars).. they are all your typical survey sites.

Generally I would say that you can expect the surveys to take anywhere from 5-25 minutes and pay $0.50 to $3 per survey. Of course some will pay higher and some will pay less, but based on what I have seen this is what you can expect.

As far as what the surveys will be about… you can expect just about anything. You might take a survey on games, cosmetics, politics, TV, travel and all sorts of topics.

How This Site Makes Money

This site is what I would call a survey affiliate site. You see anyone can join survey sites and get paid when they refer others to become members and take surveys. This is what Top 10 Best Paid Surveys is doing. They are getting people to sign up to them and then just promoting a bunch of other sites so that they get paid.

You might be wondering… well then what exactly is the point of me joining this site in the first place?? I’ll go over my answer to this.

Whats the Point of Joining?

Top 10 Best Paid Surveys tells you that they present you with the best paying survey sites there are but I find this hard to believe. The sites they present you with are nothing out of the ordinary and are well known.

There really is not point in joining. You can just go join the sites on your own. Go straight to the source and avoid this middleman site. The only reason I can see for joining this site is if you want to get emails from this place filling up your inbox (joke).

Can You Really Make £300 per month?

Honestly I can’t see anyone making this much. You would pretty much have to go at this like it is nearly a full time job or something to make this kind of money. Like I said, the survey sites here are nothing special. And unfortunatley the norm for survey sites has become to pay extremely little. So I really don’t see anyone making this kind of money.

Although it is possible if you are really serious about taking surveys, I would not count on making anywhere close to this amount.

Conclusion on Top 10 Best Paid Surveys – Scam?

This place is definitely not a scam first of all. Although I don’t particularly care for what they are doing because I don’t see any value in it, they are still referring people to legitimate paid survey sites that you can make money with. So they simply are not a scam.

But like I said, I wouldn’t bother with them. Why not just go straight to the actual survey sites to sign up. My recommendation would be SwagBucks if you are interested.

Honestly though I really don’t see much of a point in participating in online paid surveys at all. They just pay too little these days and it seems to be getting worse.

If you are looking for a way to make money online in your spare time then check out this program. This is the same program I got started with back in 2015 and I am still a member today…. which is a testament to how good I think it is.

I make a living online and I owe pretty much everything to what I learned here.

Social Xchange Review – Do NOT Give Them Access To Your Facebook Account

Social Xchange is a program I came across recently that claims it will pay people to give them access to their Facebook Ads Account. But is this true? And is it safe? Or is Social Xchange going to turn out to be a scam somewhere down the road?

In this Social Xchange review I’ll be going over a few things that you should know before you get into this. And honestly, I do not recommend anyone join this program. You will see why.

Social Xchange Overview

Social Xchange pays people to rent out their Facebook Ads Accounts for advertising purposes. Its a very simple process to go about this and you will still have complete control over your Facebook account if you do go along with it.

They will pay every month via Paypal just for you letting them use your account. Virtually nothing will need to be done on your part.

In order for me to continue with this review I think its important for me to go over a bit about how Facebook ads accounts work… because it can be confusing.

Facebook Ads Accounts – What You Need to Know

Everyone that has a Facebook account has a Facebook ads account as well. They all come with 1 ads account attached to them automatically, just in case you ever want to advertise on Facebook.

When it comes to advertising on FB they are VERY picky. If you go against their Advertisement Policies even just a bit there is a chance that your ads account will be disabled. And recovering an ads account can be a serious pain.

I have experience in having my ads account being disabled and it was such a long process that I abandoned my old account and started a new one.

Ads accounts are precious to online marketers like myself. I make money advertising on FB and rely on it. If my new ad account is disabled then I have problems.

This is where Social Xchange comes into play. Ad accounts are a valuable commodity and they will pay you to let them use yours.

Why Pay? Why Don’t They Just Create New Accounts Like I Did?

Creating new accounts doesn’t work as good. FB doesn’t trust new accounts and they are much more likely to be disabled than older seasoned accounts. That is why they want your account.

How It Works

So basically what they are going to do is use another program to get into your Facebook account. You will have to be logged in and will have to download the program for them to do this.

They will then go into your ads account within your regular Facebook account and will grant them access to it in the future. They will then be able to access your ads account without actually logging into your Facebook account. I know its confusing but this is how it works.

Should You Trust This Place?

I wouldn’t.

Why do they need to pay people for their ads accounts? The reason is because they keep getting accounts disabled, probably due to advertising scams or some other less than legitimate opportunities.

There is no other reason for them to need a bunch of ads accounts other than if they keep violating their Advertisement Policies and keep getting shut down.

So what is probably going to happen if they “rent” your account is they will end up getting it disabled and then you won’t be able to use it if you ever with to in the future, unless you can get it re-enabled.

They also lie to you.

They might have took this down by the time you came across the site but at the time of writing this review they are displaying a fake testimonial of a woman claiming she uses this program and that it is awesome.

This is a paid actress that anyone can hire on Fiverr as you can see…

Conclusion on Social Xchange – Scam or Good Money Making Opportunity

Honestly I would not trust this place at all. This is an unnecessary business if they were using FB ads accounts as Facebook allows. The only explanation for them needing to pay people for FB ads accounts is that they are not doing the right things.

On top of this they also could go about this “renting” process in a much easier way. They could have you, the Facebook user, go in and grant them access to your ads account instead of making you download a program which gives them access. It would only take 1 minute to do and anyone could do it.

I just do not trust this place and do not recommend it.

Legit Money Making Opportunities

Is Express My Cash Freebies a Scam? – Honest Review

Express My Cash Freebies is a site where you can make money by signing up for free trials/products and referring others into the program… but is this actually legitimate? Or is Express My Cash Freebies a scam that is just going to be a waste of time?

I have to admit this program does come across as somewhat of a scam. But in actuality it is not a scam. You really can make money with it as you are told. There are several other big programs out there that do the same thing too. But although this may seem amazing it isn’t as great as some people will lead you to believe.

Express My Cash Freebies Review

Express My Cash Freebies is an extension of the My Cash Freebies site. And yes… you really can make money without spending any money here. I’ll explain how it works..

Express My Cash Freebies is a type of advertisement site. They advertise trial offers and free product samples and get paid by the companies advertising them when they get people to sign up for these offers. And they get more and more people to sign up for these offers through their referral program, which gives members incentive to refer other people to join so that they can make money. So they make money by advertising and they pay you some of that money when you bring others into the program.

This site is pretty much the same thing as ZNZ (Zip Nada Zilch) and Level Rewards which are pretty popular sites. There are even people that create systems around programs like this, such as Laid Off to Paid Off.

The Process of Making Money

So the main goal here for most people is to make money, which means the goal is to refer others to become members and make money off of them. But in order to make money you first have to complete offers. Express My Cash Freebies has to make money first in order to pay you right? And the only way they make money is when people complete these offers. So you completing offers is the first step of the process.

These offers include things like signing up for free trails, purchasing a cheap product, entering information to receive free sample products etc…. all advertising type offers.

Each offer has a credit value associated with it and you must complete 1 credit worth of offers to be able to participate in the referral program and make money. Most offers are worth less than 1 credit. So if you complete an offer that is worth 0.5 credits you will have to complete more until the amount adds up to 1.

There are a lot of offers, both free and paid. Below is an example of some of the offers that were available to me. As you can see the top Gamefly one is a free trail but the Experian one next to it is a credit report that costs $1. You never really know what to expect with these offers. You will see everything from Gamefly to AT&T to Nutrisystem and more.

When you refer people in you don’t get paid right away. That wouldn’t make any sense for Express My Cash Freebies to pay you up front like that. In order to get paid for a referral that referral must complete 1 credit worth of offers just like you did in the beginning.

How Much Will You Make

The amount you get paid is $20 for each successful referral that you make. And when I say “successful” I mean each referral that joins and completes 1 credit worth of offers.

Sounds easy enough right? Just refer someone and after the complete some offers you get $20. Well…. its a bit harder than it seems and I’ll go over why that is shortly.

How You Get Paid

Express My Cash Freebies pays via PayPal. If you don’t have a PayPal account then you should know that they are free to create and it doesn’t take long.

From what I have heard you can expect to get your money within 24 hours.

The Problem With This Program

The problem with this program is that without experience in internet marketing or without a big social media following it is going to be difficult to make money. The reason is because you are going to need to get people to sign up through your link…. so how are you going to do this?

If you have a website or a big social media following then you could drive traffic to your offer but if you don’t what are you going to do?

This program isn’t what you would call “complete”. It gives you the opportunity to make money but it doesn’t give you the means to take advantage of that opportunity.

Conclusion & What I Recommend

Express My Cash Freebies is a legit way to make money online but I don’t really see this being a great opportunity for beginners that don’t have the means to tap into mass amounts of traffic and make lots of referrals. You could share your link on Facebook and Twitter, but the average person isn’t going to make much, if anything, doing that.

If you are a beginner looking to make money online I suggest taking a look at how I make a living online. I wrote a post all about it that you can read by clicking the link below. In this post I go over what it is that I do, how it all works, and how others can get started doing the same.

Apps That Pay You

Is The Digit App a scam? – [Review]

Digit is a pretty cool savings app that I came across recently and looked into. If you are wondering is the Digit App a scam then you are going to want to read this. I know it can be worrisome when an app like this has control over your money.

In this review I’ll be going over how the app works, whether its safe or not, some complaints that I have found and more. I hope you find this helpful.

Digit App Review

The Digit App, which is a creation of Hello Digit, Inc, is a savings app that is designed to help people save money that they earn. It works to set aside a bit of money each day that you won’t even notice. It takes a smart approach and will save you money depending on the amount of money you make and spend.

Overall its a great app and people really seem to love it. There are a few downsides to it, but this is something I would recommend for most people, especially if you have trouble saving money on your own.

How You Save

First: Download the app

The first thing you would have to do of course is download the app. This can be done on both Google Play and at the App Store. This can be done for free for a trial period of 100 days. After that you will have to pay $2.99/mo, which is basically nothing.

Second: Hook it up to your bank account

This is one of the parts that worries people. Yes… you will have to connect this app to your bank account. This allows it do do what it has to do. It will analyze your income and spending patters. From this information it will determine what amount it can take out of your account each day and put in savings. Digit will take out small amounts that you can afford to live without, this way it isn’t even noticeable.

You can manually increase or decrease the amount you want it to save you as well.

Third: Use the money when you need it

The money that it takes out of your checking account is saved inside Digit. When you have something out of the ordinary that you need money for it is as easy as sending a text to Digit. The money that you need will be transferred back into your checking account on the next business day.

Can You Trust This Place?

I know that no one wants to give their bank information out but I will say that I do trust Digit. And so should you.

They use 128-bit bank-level security on your account. On top of that they are FDIC insured which means your savings are protected up to $250,000.

Digit is a legitimate savings bank that way I see it.

On top of all of this you may be a bit worried about being over-drafted. What if Digit takes out too much and causes you to overdraft? Well… they say that the app will not do this and they actually have a no-overdraft guarantee where they will reimburse you for fees in case of an overdraft. You will also be able to set safe levels that it will not withdrawal past.

Complaints

The overall opinion based on reviews I have been reading online is very good, as well as my opinion of the app. However, there is one complaint that I kept seeing over and over again.

There are a fair number of people out there that have had trouble connecting their bank accounts to the app. This is because not all banks allow for third party integration. They don’t allow for apps like this to have access to member accounts. This isn’t Digit’s fault at all, it is just the way some banks work.

Most well known banks and credit unions will allow you to use Digit though.

Other than this problem with connecting to banks, there really aren’t any complaints worth mentioning. There are some complaints from individuals being overcharged, the set limits not working, etc… but nothing that seems to be a common cause of concern.

Conclusion on The Digit App – Worth It or Not?

The Digit App is definitely not a scam first of all. It is a legitimate savings app that is as safe as using just about any other mainstream bank. Overall I like what I see here and this is something I would recommend to many people out there.

Saving money is a hard skill to master. In modern times it seems that people are always buying without actually having the money. This can help to eliminate the problem by doing the saving for you. I see this app as being beneficial to many people out there and I think it is well worth the $2.99 monthly fee that you have to pay after 100 days.

Legit Money Making Opportunities, Transcription

Is Transcribe Me a Scam? – Getting Paid to Type

Transcribe Me offers a job opportunity where you can basically get paid for typing online. You can work from anywhere and at anytime with these transcription positions…. but are they worth it? Or is Transcribe Me a scam that is just going to be a waste of your time for the most part.

Feelings are mixed when it comes to whether or not this place is worth the time. Some people like it while others say to avoid it. In this review I’ll be going over all you should know before you make your own decision of whether to join or not.

Transcribe Me Review

Transcribe Me is a transcription service for small and large businesses. For those who do not know, transcription is a “written or printed representation of something”. So to basically what Transcribe Me does is provides a service where businesses can put audio into written writings.

That part of this that I am interested in is the job opportunity. They pay people to work online and to transcribe for them. Its an independent contractor position.

Working as a transcriber pretty much consists of you converting short audio clips. They tell you that these range from from about 10 seconds to 1 minute in length.

In addition to the transcription service they also provide translation services which means you could work on translating content.

How It Works

So the client will submit their audio file to Transcribe Me and they will pay for the service. It doesn’t really matter how long the file is, Transcribe Me will then break up the file into short segments that range from 10 seconds to a minute, give or take, like I mentioned.

You, the transcriber, will then be able to go though all the audio recording chunks and complete what you want to. These clips or chunks won’t make sense all of the time since they might be cut out of the middle of a larger file. When all of the “chunks” of an audio file are completed (not necessarily by only you), the file will be put together and checked for accuracy.

When the transcription passes the review you will then get paid in your Transcribe Me account.

How You Get Paid

You will be able to get paid after having made $1. They pay via PayPal so you will need an account for this. And this is free by the way.

You will be able to get paid every week that you reach the $1 cash out threshold.

How Much Money Can You Make?

They pay $20 per hour of audio file completed. Read that sentence over. I don’t mean $20 per hour of work…. I mean $20 per hour of audio file completed.

There are some people making $20/hr but you have to be an insanely fast typist to be able to do this. You will also need to take advantage of “rush files”, which are special audio files that need worked on asap. They pay more than the average rate.

On the TranscribeMe website they say that on average their transcribers make $250/mo.

Requirements for the Job

There really aren’t any requirements. This is an open opportunity and you can sign up and make money no matter where you are. You pretty much will need to be fluent in English though because most of the files that you will need to transcribe are in English.

Other than that its fair game.

Of course you will need a computer, internet connection, a PayPal account, and the ability to type also.

Complaints

When looking into places like this I always make sure to read complaints from people working for the company. I do this to see what common complaints there are and whether or not they are reasonable and legitimate. Some of the top complaints I found from reviews at Glassdoor include…

Low Pay

The biggest complaint I came across is just the low pay problem. Most people are not making much at all with this opportunity because they do not type fast enough. If you are typing less than 100 words per minute than I can’t ever seeing this being worth it, unless of course the people are talking very slowly in the audio file.

Hard to Hear Audio

It will also be difficult to transcribe files at times because the audio might be poor quality. I have come across this complaint more than once and it is understandable. It can lead to a massive headache and hair loss.

Difficulty Getting Files

When you just start out it will be more difficult to get files for you to transcribe. But if you stick with it you will get more opportunity.

Conclusion on TranscribeMe – Scam or Not?

Transcribe Me is definitely not a scam. However, it is not as good of an opportunity as it may appear to be. The main problem that I see with it is that few people will actually be able to make decent money. If you are a superhuman typist then go for it. But if you are not then I wouldn’t count on this too much.

Since you are looking for a typing job you might also want to check out how I make money online. I make a living blogging and enjoy what I do. I work for myself and make good money doing so. You can read this post where I explain how it all works and how others can get started doing the same if you wish.

What is Lifestyle Design International? – Good Business Opportunity or Scam?

Lifestyle Design International is an online business opportunity that can supposedly help you achieve the “freedom lifestyle” that just about every one wants to have. But is this really true? We have all heard this type of thing a thousand times and it seems to be false more times than true.

In this review I’ll be talking what Lifestyle Design International actually is and what you will get with it. If you are thinking about buying into this you will want to read over this first.

Lifestyle Design International Review

Lifestyle Design International, as I said, is an online business opportunity. It was created by Jeff Lerner, Andrew Cass, and Aaron Rashkin, who all have been around for a while in the “make money online” industry and are successful in their own rights.

Lifestyle Design International provides tools & training for online business creation. They also are big into live events and motivational type seminars/training.

The Products

There are 4 products that they currently have in the lineup. These include…

Freedom Experience

This is a 3 day live seminar type of deal that they have throughout the world. It is filled with masters of the industry speaking and brings in guest speakers from different industries dealing with online marketing.

From what I can tell this is more of a motivational type deal and really is just to open peoples minds to the idea of making money online. It doesn’t dive down into any real detail with training or anything like that.

Excel Mastermind

If you buy this product you will get a lot more. You will get direct access to communicate with the leaders of LDI. You will also get access to special events where you will get closer and more direct help from the leaders.

Here you will learn more about what tactics actually work in online business, such as traffic generation and how to go about it. And you will be kept up-to-date with the ever changing online world by getting what they call “roundtable calls”.

Elevate Marketing System

With this product you will get a pre-made sales funnel that is proven to convert well. You will also receive help with traffic generation that of course is needed for the sales funnel to be worth it.

Transcend Publishing Partner

This is their upper echelon product. You will actually get to go to a private workshop at the LDI headquarters where you will learn the real secrets of the industry. There you will have help creating your own product that will be featured on the LDI market place.

What You Should Know

Basically LDI is a program that you can buy into to make money online and you will end up making money online by selling the same program to other people.

The training, pre-made sales funnels and all of this seem to be focused on getting members to promote LDI.

This program reminds me very much of MOBE & Aspire. It has the same basic design, provides the same sort of training, and is extremely expensive.

The Cost

I’m not sure how much the LDI products cost but I can pretty much guarantee you that the more expensive ones are $10,000 +. This is what you call a high ticket system where the products are extremely expensive but you can make big commissions when you sell them.

If anyone knows the cost here I would appreciate it if you post it in the comment section below.

Conclusion on Lifestyle Design International

There is still a lot more to come with Lifestyle Design International. This program still isn’t fully out yet and there is a lot of information that is unknown to me. As more comes out I plan on updating this review.

But as for now, this place doesn’t seem like anything special. They seem to be doing the same thing as MOBE, Aspire, and many others. Its just a high ticket online marketing program that gets members to promote the same darn program to other people. While some people will probably make good money with this, it is not what I would recommend, especially for beginners.

When it comes to making money online there are a lot more scams and programs that I do not trust out there than legit opportunities that I can recommend. However…. gun to my head, what is the best program out there? This is it. I have been a member since 2015 and it took me from nothing at all to making a living online.

Freelance Writing Jobs

Is Contena a Scam? – Honest Review of It

If you are looking to make money online with a freelance writing job then Contena is one of the options you have. But is this place any good? Or is Contena a scam that is just going to be a waste of your time?

Well I’ll tell you right now its definitely not a scam, but it still may not be a good choice for you. In this review I’ll be going over how this place works, what types of jobs you can get, who its good for and more.

Contena Review

Contena is a freelance writer job board. You can go there to find all sorts of writing jobs. If you are looking for a part time writing gig, a full time writing position, a job that pays $2k per month, one that pays $8k per month… etc… then Contena is worth looking into.

They have a variety of different writing jobs on their site and are one of the better job boards out there when it comes to freelance writing and finding good opportunities. Their job board is updated daily and with the many listing they have at any given time you are pretty much guaranteed to find a writing job/gig that you are interested in.

The downside is that they do charge a membership fee. You can join for free but you won’t be able to get full access to the site and all of its job finding features.

How It Works

Once inside you will be able to search through a massive list of job offerings. The amount will vary but you can expect there to be over 10,000. This is a massive number so you will be able to sort through them depending on what you are looking for.

You can sort them by their position type, such as: full-time, contract, agency, or paid on project submission. You will also be able to arrange your search by the category that the writing jobs fall into. So if you are looking to write about a specific thing, you will want to do this. And of course you will also be able to sort based on the pay that the jobs offer and the quality of writing that they are looking for. This filtering system that allows you to filter your results is called Contena Scout.

Just to give you a small example of what you are looking at here, here is a screenshot of several jobs available to me…

When you find a job that you want you will not be working for Contena. They are just finding you the positions. You will be working directly with the place that is actually hiring. This isn’t like Textbroker where you work and get paid from them.

Just Starting Out?

If you are new to the freelance writing world and not that good yet, Contena offers a training course called Contena Academy. This course provides training on various topics.

You will get video training, a written lesson, downloadable materials, and more. These lessons will cover everything from bettering your writing style, to compiling a great portfolio, to throwing a sales pitch and more.

You will also have a coach that will provide personal support throughout the course.

This training is included with the cost of the Contena membership.

PS: Another good choice for beginners is Elna Cain’s course Write Your Way to 1K

Who Its Good For

I consider Contena to be a good choice for aspiring freelance writers and even writers that are already established.

As I just went over, the academy will help get you up and running if you are new to all of this. And the main portion of the site, the job finder, presents lots of opportunities for people with different skill levels.

The Cost

For everything I just went over you will need the Contena gold subscription. For a year subscription you will need to pay $99/mo for 6 months. So you get a whole year membership but you only pay this for 6 months… weird I know.

This is a lot of money but it might be worth it for you. It just depends on your situation and what you are looking for.

Conclusion on Contena – Worth the Investment?

As I said, it really depends on your situation. For many people out there this won’t even be an option because $99 a month is too much to pay. But if you do have the money to spend and you are looking for a remote freelance writing job then there isn’t much better place to find one. You could use Upwork, Freelancer.com and other freelance sites, but you won’t get the training nor will you be able to find as many good writing jobs as Contena.

Contena makes it very easy to find a surplus of jobs. And the good thing is that they are constantly updating what is available so you are always presented with new job offers.

Another Route to Take

Since you are looking into writing jobs you would probably be interested in making money online as I do. I make a living blogging on my own websites. About 99% of what I do consists of writing so its right up your alley. You can read more about what I do and how others can get started Here.
