How to determine if you are working for a legitimate online program

There are so many scams online. This statement is true. Finding a legitimate program is almost impossible especially if you are just starting with this adventure.

Type in any word related to online money making opportunities.

What do you see? Recommendations, recommendations and more recommendations.

But what do you think would give you a decent income?

If you really want to engage in online jobs ask yourself these questions:

1) What skills can you offer?
2) How much time are you willing to give?
3) If you want to try PTC or HYIP, how much friends do you have?

Face it. The internet is not a credit card. You do need to work hard to earn a decent income. One needs to learn and apply skills needed to perform each task. Those who claim to get enough from these efforts obviously have the gadgets, stock knowledge and patience to finish what they started. Evidently how much you earn would depend on how much effort and time you render.

Just a regular job, online workers undergo some sort of application. Some programs ask for your resume while others test your skills after signing up. Try to avoid sites that requires you to pay membership fees to get matched with an employer. Normally they just give you leads but you would still need to undergo screening to get in. You might want to use oDesk, Elance or Freelancer instead if you are a highly skilled professional. You have to follow its guidelines to maximize its use.  oDesk for example practically encourage newbies to take the test before applying for a position. The scores you get will somehow attract possible employers towards your end.

Avoid misleading advertisements. Read reviews about it. If it pays high and you are not required to do too much, chances are it is a scam. Doing research can save you from wasting time on tasks that would not be paid. True enough the pay checks can be convincing but how do they do it? Would the owner be willing enough to share his secrets? Why would you need to pay for techniques? Go for offers that provide training or manuals. You definitely would need some guidance in case you are new to the industry.

You might also want to check the credibility of your employer. Find out how many years they have been in the business. See what others are saying about the company. Stable companies have a good chance of paying decently.
