Make Money Online How to Avoid Scams

Being a college student myself making money online, I know how some stories of people claiming to make "$4,000 a WEEK!" are just too good to be true. Unless you are an established blogger with years of experience, or running an online scam, no one can make that much money online. When you first start off on your internet marketing journey, it is important to keep a few things in mind in order to avoid scams. I have put together a short list that you can reference in order to keep yourself safe!

Dont Send Money to Someone You Dont Know

Have you ever gotten those emails from a "Nigerian Prince" claiming that you are the rightful owner of a large sum of money? All they need from you is your bank account information and social security number. I think at one point or another everyone has gotten this email, and I can guarantee that no one has ever gotten any money out of the deal. In fact people can lose all their savings by giving out their information to a stranger. Same goes for sending money to someone you dont know. Unless you are using a reputable service like Ebay, Fiverr, or Paypal, do NOT send money to someone you dont know if you havent done any research on that person or service. A good way to get a review on somebody is to simply Google that person or service + "review","scam", etc. This will likely turn up some information on whether the person is legit or not.

Check if an Email Address is Real or Not

Reputable companies and services will not email you asking your for personal information like your social security number or bank information. While an email may look like it is from a legit company in your mailbox, it is smart to click "show details" which will show the actual senders email. If Google or a similar company is actually emailing you, then the email will not come from "Sk8rboi@gmail.com."

No Money is Easy Money
If someone tells you that you can make easy money using their service with little to no work, dont believe it. Be smart and check reviews on certain people and services before you give anyone your hard earned money.

When in Doubt, Play it Safe!

If you have a weird feeling about a certain person or service, chances are that it is a scam. Trust your gut! Dont fall for scammers actions because the deal sounds so good. Especially as a teen, it can be difficult to differentiate certain deals from one another based on your lack of experience. Many online merchants also have a stamp of approval on their profile which can be seen to the right. If you cannot locate one of these stamps, trust your gut and dont pull the trigger on the deal. 

There you have it! Before you give anyone money you should do your research, or ask a parent what they think! Often times deals that sound too good to be true, are! Keep these tips in mind and good luck making money online! Comment below with any questions. Cheers to a happy 2015.

MyAdvertisingPays Really Does Pay Proof Progress Results!

MyAdvertisingPays Really Does Pay - Proof, Progress, Results!

Happy days. A bacon roll, a cup of tea and another three weeks worth of profit share paid into the bank! 

Despite Storm Frank bringing horizontal rain and a grim end to the year, its been an exciting couple of weeks for us. 

Were in the new house, albeit surrounded by boxes and half demolished internal walls, and together with the continuing success of MyAdvertisingPays, 2016 is going to exciting.

Im (sort of) looking forward to all the work that needs to be done to the new house, a lot of it being funded by MAP. But Im also looking forward to further success with this amazing online business.

Sitting here in a cafe enjoying my cup of tea and watching the shoppers getting soaked in the rain, I cant help but smile to myself at those people who scoffed when I told them about the business.

I have even offered to help them, and anybody in fact, and still will.

They say you can lead a horse to water, but you cant make him drink.

Well thats very true, but I know and see many people, including friends and family who would benefit from an extra income.

The screen shot below is three weeks worth of profit share
paid into the bank.

So thats approximately £500 per week, and that is NOT at the maximum amount of credit packs. 

    As always, my offer of up to 5 FREE CREDIT PACKS for every 25 any new ACTIVE MEMBER purchases still stands.
Or 1 FREE CREDIT PACK for every 5 purchased. 

Thats up to $250 FOR FREE! 

If youre looking for something new in 2016,

then get in touch!

Still Not Sure About My Advertising Pays - Look For Social Proof. 

Its everywhere! 

If after all this time you still have your doubts that you really can make money with My Advertising Pays, then the place to look is on Social Media.

    It goes without saying that Facebook is the number one place to go to find loads of MAP related pages, groups and posts. 

Not only do they install a sense of proof and reliability in the business, and show that it quite obviously is not a scam,
but theyre also the place to ask questions like minded people and members.

It also makes sense to join the groups, or be invited by an existing member so that you can see the day to day results and comments, advice and general good will that goes hand in hand with the whole My Advertising Pays community.

You can check out my Facebook page here.

But why not have a look at some MAP Groups such as this Scottish one:

My Advertising Pays Scotland or perhaps one of the main UK groups here.

And it doesnt stop there. Theres more social proof to be found on sites such as Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, Digg, Stumbleupon, YouTube and many more.

So dont just sit on the fence. Check out the wealth of positive, proactive success stories from some of the (almost)
  200,000 My Advertising Pays members!

Top 5 Ways for Teens to Invest Their Money

As you begin to make money as a teen, you will hopefully start to save some. As you begin to save some money, then youll hopefully start to look into the possibility of investing your money in hopes to make a larger return. Let me start off by saying that investments can be very risky. Even the mo
st seasoned wall-street investors can lose millions of dollars at the drop of the hat, which is why it is so important you only invest with funds you can afford to lose and to make sure that you are a smart investor. The number #1 piece of advice that almost all financial services tell you is to make sure that you pay off your debt, such as student loans, before you begin investing. Sure, it may sound cool to have the possibility to turn your $5,000 into $7,000 after a year, but that initial $5,000 can also turn into $0. Then you will be stuck with $0 as well as debt that will continue to grow due to interest. Now that you have that in mind, here are some great ways that you can begin to invest, granted you have all of your debt paid off, with a small amount of money while being a teen, college student, or young adult.

1.) Make a Fantasy Account
The best way to learn about the world of investing is to make a fantasy account. Imagine having $100,000 and allocate that money to various investments. Track your progress over the course of a year and along the way you are sure to learn about the world of business or finance. A great way to do this is to perform this with a couple of close friends or your parents. That way you will have someone to talk about these investments with and learn from. Also, many brokerage accounts offer services where you can trade pretend money for free, which will help you gain knowledge on various investments and what not to do when it comes time to investing real money.

2.) Put Your Money Into a Savings Account
Probably the best advice I can give you when looking to invest your money as a teen is to put it into a savings account. When investing with small amounts of money the potential returns are very small. For example, say you invest $1,000 into a particular company. Dont expect at the end of that year to have doubled your money and have $2,000. A 100% return on a given year is incredibly rare and only happens to the luckiest of investors. A great strategy to have is to take the money that you are planning on investing with, putting it into a savings account for a year, and then making a fantasy investing account so you can learn which investments work and dont work. At the end of that year, you will have more money to invest with and a better understanding of potential investments.

3.) Invest in the Stock Market
Investing in the stock market can be fairly risky, however with the right plan you can minimize your potential loses. It is important to use a fantasy account first so that you understand the ups and downs of the market before you put any real money at risk. It is nearly impossible to predict the direction of a stock and many people invest in a company solely based on speculation of how they will perform in the future. In order to open your own brokerage account you need to be 18 years old, however with your parents permission, they can open up a custodial account for you if you arent yet of age. When investing, keep in mind that you should be investing for long-term gain. Over long periods of time, returns in the stock market have averaged about 10% per year. Some great low-no minimum brokerage accounts that you can check out are Etrade, TD Ameritrade and Trade Monster.

4.) Invest in a Website
With $1,000 you can build a pretty amazing website with a lot of great content on it. You can pay others to design your website, perform SEO for it, write articles for it, get a custom logo and many others all with virtually no work on your end. Fact of the matter is that the only money I put into this website is for the URL and hosting which is only about $10/year and I make easily $1,000 a year with it. With a $1,000 you could build a website on a niche that you are knowledgable on and possibly make some huge returns. Or you could buy 40-50 micro niche sites and make a profit $10-$20 a month on EACH one. I have been investing for roughly 5 years now, in both the stock market and with mutual funds, and I have found that internet marketing blows them all out of the water. It is a lot less risky and a lot easier to predict how much money you expect to make in a given month.

5.) Invest in a Mutual Fund
Investing in individual stocks can be risky because you can lose a ton of money if the company you are investing with comes out with a bad earnings report, or worse, goes bankrupt. Mutual funds are  investment pools run by individuals. Even if you only have a couple thousand dollars to invest, a mutual funds spreads your money out over several different stocks representing different companies. Check out Yahoo Finance or Morningstar to research various mutual funds that you can invest in. Some high earning mutual funds can make you upwards of a 20% return each year.

For some great sites that offer some more free advice on investing for teens check out the list below. Make sure you are smart when you start investing and dont rush into it. When I was 18 I invested $1,000 I had made waiting tables into a tech company without doing any research. The company tanked and I eventually lost $500. So be smart and let me know if you have any questions below!

College Students and Teens Make Extra Money Online For the Summer

As the school years come to an end, most teens and college students are faced with finding a job that pays minimum wage or slightly above. That task alone can prove to be very difficult as companies are hiring less and less adolescents and hiring more adults to fill the same roles. If and once you find a job theres a good chance that it will be for under $8 an hour minus taxes. So youll be wasting away your summer working 30-40 hour weeks, making less than $200 a week. While I absolutely agree that work experience is extremely important in growing and maturing as a person, I dont agree that kids should be busting their asses and making pocket change in the process. Fortunately for you, there are numerous legitimate ways to supplement your summer income by partaking in online endeavors. Here are some ways that you can spend your summer downtime and make some sweet cash in the process.

1.) Online Survey Sites
By far the best way to make money online without having to spend any of your own is with paid online survey sites. They allow you to fill out easy surveys, watch videos, play games, etc. all while making some easy money in the process. If you go back and read some of my older posts you will learn how to truly maximize your profits on these websites by taking advantage of referral programs. For the past few years I have been making between $500-$1000 a month on these websites and my income only continues to go up. Some of the best websites are Cashcrate, SwagBucks, and SquishyCash. Check out some of my older posts to get you started:

Blogging is the Key to Getting Referrals
How to Get Backlinks
Article Marketing Works

2.) Invest!
If youre in college now is the time to really start doing some research on potential investments. Bonds, mutual funds, stocks or index funds all offer a great opportunity to further grow your income. The sooner you start, the more experience you will gain and the better off your future self will be. A great article to check out is "How to invest $20, $100, and $1000 (and more)" over at the Motley Fool, give it a read if your interested! I also recommend you check out one of my older posts,  "Turn $500 into $5000 with Penny Stocks." Educate yourself. People dont make money in this life by being dumb. The more you learn, the better off you will be. Its never too early. Im able to invest the money I earn from survey sites, and earn thousands each year off investing.

3.) Sell Your Stuff!
Chances are youve got a lot of old crap laying around in your room. From video games to sports cards, there is always someone out there that will pay money for your things. Recently, I was able to sell some of my old Lacoste Polos that I had grown out of for over $240 on Ebay. They had just been sitting in my closet, unworn for years and I was able to turn those shirts into some cash for my back pocket!

There you have it. Start making some extra money online today as a teen or college student. Best of luck!

Cheers
