How Much is Your Legitimate Online Business Costing You?
Many Internet marketers complain about the amount of money they earn from legitimate home based businesses compared to what they spend. This becomes clear when you visit forums for legitimate online businesses and join in the discussions.
You can find people from all walks of life earning a good living on the Internet, regardless of their sex, race, age, income and so forth. Therefore the Internet has become famous for not discriminating against people as far as Internet marketing is concerned.
Time and money are two constants available to most people. People with more money may choose to outsource different aspects of their legitimate online business instead of doing it all themselves. Others spend more time on learning the various steps of becoming successful online because they may not have as much money and have the time to do it.
One point that goes for everybody, whether you have time or money or neither, is that you need to get traffic to your site in order to get visitors to purchase products or join affiliate programs if you want to be successful with legitimate home based businesses.
You can immediately get guaranteed visitors on a regular basis by buying advertising in the form of pay per click. This won’t guarantee that you’ll make a profit though but that you will get visitors by paying a certain amount for every time someone clicks on your link.
It is not a problem if you don’t have money to invest in pay per click. You will then simply have to focus on marketing methods like article marketing which is a completely free form of advertising and that many have been successful with.
This is not a fast way of generating traffic to legitimate home based businesses, but it is a great way to build back links to your website which over time will increase your page rankings and therefore free, targeted traffic to your site, probably resulting in sales.
It does not matter if you can spend money on marketing or if you will use free marketing methods. You have to determine the cost of your legitimate online business. Determine what you work is worth at an hourly rate and then keep track of the amount of hours you spend on your business.
You should definitely keep track of monthly expenses like advertising, marketing, website hosting and auto-responder services.
Keeping track of the hours you spend on your business may seem like an unnecessary and tedious job but it is definitely important to determine your monthly expenses to get an accurate picture of the amount of money you are earning with your legitimate online business compared to what your are spending on it.

Is this an Employment Scam?
I saw an ad on campus which offered a data entry position making $300+ weekly from the comfort of my home. I emailed the guy and he is requesting a $9 processing fee, which in my opinion sounds fishy. I read somewhere that you should never have to pay for a job….
I also included the email we exchanged,
What do you guys think?

This is almost certainly a scam. For $9 he’s going to do what exactly? Tell you to go get a data entry job? You already know that.

Like the saying: no risk no gain. It may worth spending $9 to try your lucks since it is not a big amount. Good lucks!

That really really sounds like a scam. I know people who have gotten management positions and don’t have to pay to apply, that’s just crazy. He kept saying the same thing over and over, while giving no helpful information. I would forget about it. Sounds just like some scam websites I’ve read trying to sell you something.
