Article Surfing ArchiveCompare Work At Home Businesses & Jobs - Articles SurfingEveryone has seen the emails that link to a 'buy now' page, which is suppose to convince you to part with your money so you can learn how the product owner made it rich. I'm here to tell you how they made it rich ' selling the 'get rich now promise.' There are several ways to generate passive income, which do not involve buying a 'get rich now' package. That is not to say that information does not have a value. The secrets to success are very valuable. They can be the difference between driving an old car and owning a new. Knowledge can be the difference between waiting 40 years for a company pension, or living like you are retired at 50. The fact that many people are generating wealth is not an uncommon one. Very few people still buy into the go to university, get a degree, own a home, and retire on the company pension. That route is fast disappearing as factory after factory is moved to Asia. Now we need to learn how to use information, and technology, to generate wealth. The first thing to do is decide what your definition of wealth is. Many people are happy to have the $500 000 needed to retire comfortably. Others set their sights to the new 'upper middle class' level of $5 million. While some ventures will not work for both groups, like building a property investment portfolio, many businesses can be custom designed to meet the needs of the business owner. The trick is to avoid being scammed on the way. Too many people know that there are people making thousands of dollars of passive income every month, but they don't know how to get started. The first thing to realize is that there is ample opportunity. China is moving 22 million people into cities every year. These people are just starting to dream of homes and cars. We are on the next level, turning intangibles into money, or to quote the buzz word, 'make money out of air.' Business vs. Job An online business has unlimited income potential. They can also generate passive income. Bloggers are now making $5m a month from AdSense. Yes, that is $5million. A passive income business can be everything from running a networking community online and running a cottage business out of the home, or building a property portfolio and investing in commercial property. Businesses include: Jobs require equal time for equal pay. The owner cannot outsource the work. The income is not passive. If the business owner takes a day off, there is no income that day. Jobs include: Scam vs. Opportunity Many people fall for the scams. The most common is the lottery or the AdSense scam. People pay anywhere from $10 - $1000 for an AdSense website that is suppose to generate income. Of course, professionals know that the net doesn't work that way. A website is only the 'buy now' section. All successful AdSense programs include blogs, forums, chats, podcasts, newsletters, and other programs. Most people start out with a job that turns into a business. A writer started www.inspiredauthor.com, which is now part of a vast network offering free writing and work at home advice. SHH started as a freelance journalist and now owns a freelance agency www.doublehdesign.com . Others join into a business opportunity, a community. That is the #1 to separate the scams from the legit opportunities ' the size of the community. If there is no way for you to communicate with other people interested in the same venture, it is most likely a scam. The second method is by checking out the work involved. Buying a program that requires no work, a turnkey operation, is most likely a scam. A tourist website promising to earn thousands in commissions is a scam. However, a program that teaches you how to invest in property is not. First, the investment program requires work. Second, you can go to major financial blogs from the USA, Canada, and the UK, and read about other people investing in property. The important thing to establish is whether you want a job or a business, and don't try to 'buy' your way in, or follow the 'easy road' to success.
