Is it a job? or is it an "opportunity" ? read the earnings disclaimer

We've found a great shortcut to investigating those companies that are charging for "work from home" information. It's simple and it's easy.

Companies that tell you that you can make $100-1000 per day, working from home are usually selling you something (and it's not an hourly wage.)

They know they're in danger of being sued. They have to cover their butts.

Hence, the "earnings disclaimer". This may appear as a tiny link a the bottom of a long sales letter. But it's not to be ignored.

Jobs, and job directories, have no need for an earnings disclaimer. They tell you how much you'll be paid if you get the job.

If you're afraid of being scammed, check out the "earnings disclaimer" of your potential opportunity. It will tell you how the results aren't typical. Some earnings disclaimers put an even better spin on it: "MONETARY AND INCOME RESULTS ARE BASED ON MANY FACTORS. WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW WELL YOU WILL DO, AS WE DO NOT KNOW YOU, YOUR BACKGROUND, YOUR WORK ETHIC, OR YOUR BUSINESS SKILLS OR PRACTICES" say a few of these "cash cow" type websites.

Ugh. While there are many websites out there with earnings disclaimers that may be legitimate business opportunities - it's a sure-fire scam when the companies goes from "guaranteed" on their sales letter page, to " It's your fault if you don't make money - we don't know you, so we can't guarantee anything!"

If you feel like laughing at outlandish claims of riches, and then reading about how they can't really guaranttee you'll make a penny, browse Google for some interesting earnings disclaimers.
