I just finished recording my Moms Making Money show on Blog Talk Radio, when an ad caught my eye.  Because it was related to my income opportunity from home niche, I followed the link.  The page that opened looked like a reprint from an online newspaper, complete with logos from the top tv news networks.

The “article” that followed featured a young mother from San Antonio, TX who had lost her boring job as a manufacturing rep.  She had reportedly gone on to try income opportunities from home and, thanks to Google, was now making regular income of $5500 per month.

I read through the comments, where all of the respondents were overwhelmingly positive or suggestive of wanting to try it out for themselves.  At the bottom, the comments had conveniently been “Disabled due to Spam”.  I looked at the dates and times of the ones that were there, and they spanned various times on the same date.

Already, my marketing antenna were up, so I checked out the two programs being promoted.  The main one was called Your Google Income and the companion program that you just had to do as well or the first one wouldn’t work, was Fast Twitter Profits.

Now I am not saying that these are bad programs.  It is possible that by combining the two, you can actually make money.  However, the fact that this type of trickery was used to promote them as an income opportunity from home gives rise to many doubts in my mind.

These doubts were further confirmed when, checkin my history for the “article and clicking onto it, I was taken to a completely different story with a whole new look and feel published on what looked to be a blog, of a young man from San Antonio, TX who was also making money by combining the same two programs.

Apparently, and this is no small coincidence, he too had lost his boring job as a manufacturing rep.  However, now he is bringing on over $50,000 per month.  Amazing.

The comments on his “blog” were also disabled due to spam, but at least the times and dates had been omitted and the comments looked more natural.

These kinds of deceptive advertisements are why it is so important to us at the Income From Home Network to teach you marketing skills and online business integrity.  Armed with the right knowledge, you will never again be the victim of scams, get-rich-quick schemes, or pie-in-the-sky tricksters.

And when it comes time to promote yourself and your income opportunity from home, you will be able to lead with value.  Because that is something you can feel good about, and won’t cause you to lose sleep at night.
