RONNIEISMS

WORK FROM HOME!
How many times a day do you receive e-mails containing information about working from home and making untold dollars from your computer. If you're like me, it's in the hundreds, not daily but weekly. The writers of these commercials are so good at what they do in making it sound so easy, a caveman can do it. (Pardon me Geico) This morning I looked into one about a woman in Kansas City who lost her job, answered an ad from Google and is making about $5,000.00 a month. Sounds good, doesn't it and if they print it, it must be true, right. After all, would Google lend their name to a scam? Just put $1.95 on your credit card and we'll send you the first of two kits, but you need two. So far, still sounds good.

Now before signing up and filling out all the information including your credit card number, read the small print at the bottom. After the initial period of 30 days or so you will be billed monthly $39.95, but you can cancel at anytime. If you fail to cancel, an amount, not sure exactly how much will be deducted from your credit card. If you try to get out of the site you will get a pop up telling you, Whoa, check this out before you make a negative decision. If you do you're directed to another site at a discounted price but you can purchase another product, and it goes on and on, telling you what a mistake you're making by not signing up.

I'm not saying this is a scam, definetly not, but why don't they show the actual cost up front instead of putting it in small print at the bottom. Unfortunately many people looking for the get rich quick system don't read the small print and get sucked in. After seeing the additional charges on their card for a few months, they attempt to cancel. In most cases, if the company is legitimate you'll eventually get it stopped but getting any refunds is another story. All I'm trying to say is, read the small print first.

For example; "For only $39.95 a month you can make a weekly income of whatever, no guarantee unless you put in the required hours" Some will be immediately turned away but others might think, "hey, this could be for real". I've found that these commercials are really worth reading, they're very well written and for the most part are successful, or they wouldn't keep producing them. Most of us that spend time on our computers think that with the limited skills we've learned while being logged on is enough for us to make that untold fortune just by sitting in front of our montor and inputting bits of information.

For absolutely no charge you can put a link on your desktop to "RONNIEISMS" and continue to read my blogs. Be sure to check one of the three boxes at the bottom and you can send a $5.00 donation directly to me, there will be no additional monthly charge. Have a Happy Holiday.
