Default Does this really work?

I see all over the the place about how to make money from home, or even the take the survey and make $XX. I am just curious becasue I would love ot make my pockets deeper but this stuff all seems like a hoax it can't be that easy can it?

Do any of you do it? or know someone personnaly who does it? I figured this being spread across so many different states and countries this would be the best way to find that person who has tried it.

How did he get started out? if you happen to know. Like what company did he go through, what kind of bs did he have to put up with or was it all straight forward?

TV consumer guy around here says for every one that is legit there are 99 that are just trying to scam you outta your money. To make $50K on ebay drop shipping you gotta sell a crap load of stuff and be super organized. My hats off to that dude.

Yes, be careful too many scams that dont work, "no such thing as a free lunch", "if it sounds too good to be true..it is!!" .. why are so many people interested in making "others" rich?? ..I dont buy it, when people have great money ideas they usually keep it to themselves, when they have weak money making ideas they usually spread it far and wide and try to make money that way ..theres too many people trying to get your money in this world .. I am glad I dont have any ..lol

Usually those things require you putting X amount of money into it first, before they start dishing it out to you.

I have seen a lot of those too. I am have interested in getting into one but I am not a risk taker when it comes to money. my purse strings are pulled extremely tight.

I am just trying to get as much info as I can. Maybe others on here are interested in it too?

most are scams to get you to pay for their 'advice' and tutor you thru designing a good site and set you up with the products. It all can been done w/o paying a cent, well from paying those type of ppl/companies, etc for their help.

Alot of the ebay stores esp the bike realated ones all take your order, then have it shipped directly to you from the distributor. Alot of online stores do this, esp the bike related ones I see.

my friend paid a crap load of money to get scamed by a bunch of different sites. then he got a list of wholesalers so he tried to call a few of them. in the end he didn't use any of the stuff he paid for. he just started calling places and asked if he could sell their product. he got lucky and found a bunch of places. then he just started making listings and the orders rolled in. he is good at it so i guess he figured it out.
