There is a lot of money to be made online.
There are millions doing one business or the other on the web.
Unfortunately, only a small fraction of online business guys are really making a living online.
But the secret is that there is enough money to be made by everyone who intends to work and earn online.
The greatest enemy confronting new entrants (newbie) is the proliferation of scams and online frauds.
Reliable researches have shown and established that about 95% of money-making schemes on the net are fraught with fraudulent tendencies.
WHAT IS A SCAM? There many "gurus" who promise heaven and earth online but they deliver very little.
They promise you that if you buy their product you will become a millionaire from the next fifteen minutes.
"Start earning $5,000 daily from tomorrow".
"Get three million hits on your website for $10".
You have seen ads similar to these over and over.
Most of them are scams.
No sooner had you paid would you discover that all their claims are empty.
