			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-159" title="How can you really tell what could earn you money??" src="http://blog.lotsoffreebies.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/20080710-27859-fakeorreal-1.jpg" alt="How can you really tell what could earn you money??" width="125" height="188" />There are literally thousands of websites out there which supposedly tell you how to make &#8220;thousands of dollars&#8221; in a matter of days or weeks with little or no effort but could this be you?</p>
<p>I my honest and blunt opinion&#8230; no! While I&#8217;m sure someone along the line is earning that income from the programme I&#8217;m also sure that 99% of people who use these programs end up of out pocket rather than rolling in money.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been using the internet for a while you&#8217;ve probably come across a good few of these sites and they follow a general formula</p>
<ul>
<li>Title &#8211; Tells visitor how much they can earn using their system</li>
<li>Proof it works &#8211; Screenshots of PayPal payment records or cheques</li>
<li>Tell you what you could do with they money&#8230; buy a car, go on holiday</li>
<li>Insist it&#8217;s not like all the others you&#8217;ve seen</li>
<li>Tell you it&#8217;s 100% guaranteed</li>
<li>And finally how much the program is going to cost!</li>
</ul>
<p>Now looking at that list there I find that there is one major thing missing&#8230; what is it that you do? You know it&#8217;s a system but you&#8217;ve got no idea what the system is or what it is to do!</p>
<p><span id="more-157"></span></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t intend to tell you how you should go about trying to earn extra money but I&#8217;m hoping to help you avoid some of the pitfalls a lot of people get caught up in. When I see these sites there are a few red flags that go off in my head:-</p>
<ul>
<li>No indication of what the system is</li>
<li>You need to pay for the programme</li>
<li>The website itself &#8211; surely if the program is earning them $5000 a week then they can afford to pay someone to do a decent website</li>
<li>and why are they willing to tell you all their secrets? You don&#8217;t see Microsoft or Apple giving away the secrets to their success!</li>
</ul>
<p>A lot of the time you have to invest a lot of your time to earn enough from these programmes just to break even and that not even including paying yourself for the time involved.</p>
<p>In my opinion the best way to look at his is &#8220;Does it sound too good to be true?&#8221; If it does then it is probably true!</p>
