>> PCAA End of Day Trading Program
PCAA Logo

PCAA is a Stock Market investment company which provides investment packages to both private and corporate investors all over the world. The PCAA End of Day Investment package is their most popular and has proven itself over a number of years.

Having tried dozens and dozens of businesses over the years, my ultimate goal with any business is ensuring the return is in line with the amount of effort required in running it. Up until PCAA’s end of day stock market investment program, I had failed to find a Stock Market Investment software package that could fulfill this aim.

The PCAA stock market program is unique in many ways. It is fully automatic, and can be run by complete novices. I have introduced a number of friends who have no experience in trading shares and they are now generating excellent income. Likewise I have friends who are stockbrokers who also utilize the PCAA software to manage their personal portfolios.

PCAA London offer a number of investment packages for all levels of traders…I currently use their end of day program which requires around fifteen minutes of work from Monday to Friday. In my first year I made $135 000 from a starting base portfolio of $10 000. That is an attractive hourly rate. The nature of the software is low risk/ high turnover trading which can be frustrating because you won’t be able to become a millionaire in a hurry. It will however provide an excellent supplementary income with very little effort.

This is a rare money making opportunity. I say that because very rarely is a business suitable for such a large range of people. Young, old, new or experienced the PCAA program has proven itself over many years to provide consistent and impressive incomes for thousands of investors. The hardest part of this business is coming up with the initial licence fee. If it’s affordable though, you won’t be disappointed with the returns or the support you receive from the company.

If you want to make money from the stockmarket than PCAA are the logical choice. It's hard to argue with the International Stock Market Organization who have rated the PCAA end of day software as the best in the world for the fourth consecutive year.

>> Selling On eBay
eBay Logo

Ebay is an interesting one. On one hand E-bay is a great place to market products. It's like an international garage sale. There are people that are literally selling thousands of products a month on e-bay and doing fairly well (income wise).

It’s reported that over 724,000 Americans are said to be making their living on eBay. This home business will allow you to earn a living and get you out of the rut of 9-to-5 office work. This can be a profitable home business opportunity, it’s cheap to setup, all you need is a computer and internet connection and you are good to go.

Like all businesses you must first have a plan so before you jump straight in, get on the net and look for one of the more respected starter guides. Make sure it covers all your questions and will actually aid you in starting your very own eBay business.

On the other hand, the trick with ebay is finding the right product to sell. No one, or any course that I have seen actually shows that. If it did, there would be too much competition with everyone trying to sell the exact same thing.

There are many courses out there that claim to show people how to make a full time living selling items on ebay. While this may be true, they fail to tell people how saturated the markets are and how hard it is to compete with prices.

The good thing about ebay is you don’t need to buy expensive programs or spend thousands of dollars setting up your business. If you have a few ideas on products that may be suitable to base a home business around, then trial them for a few weeks before committing to a large order. If it works than consider taking it to the next level. The verdict – has potential, but there is no proven formula, I prefer my businesses to be a little more secure.

>> Envelope Stuffing
Envelope Stuffing Image

I’m still amazed that the government hasn’t passed legislation to make envelope stuffing businesses illegal. This has got to be one of the biggest scams of all time. If you look at logically why would people pay you $2 or more to stuff envelopes when there are machines that do it for a few cents. I'm not trying to knock people that have tried this program, I have tried a few back in my inexperienced days. However, I am strongly warning the public not to ever fall for this, for it is nothing more than a scam and it's very falsely advertised.

How it works : When you pay the "registration fee" the company sends you a brochure and tells you to advertise to others and at the end of your ad tell them if they want more information to send you $2 and a SASE. So that is how you don't pay for supplies and make $2 for every envelope sent. Then you send the person an information packet on how to do the same thing and ask for a one-time registration fee. No one wins and you chalk it up as an experience because these companies loose contact very quickly when its time for the refund.

You see the trick now? I don't care if its "legitimate", "data-entry", or "guaranteed". They are all the same and I strongly advise against having anything to do with it. Envelope stuffing is not a genuine business.

>> Specialty Merchandise Corporation (SMC)
SMC Logo

Specialty Merchandise Corporation is a business opportunity that allows their members to access several thousand products at wholesale price. SMC has been around for many years. With it's strong name, I would expect to see it for many more.

They cover products from jewelry to general merchandise. In my opinion, most of their merchandise has no demand and it's all manufactured by companies that most people aren't familiar with.

I have never talked to anyone who has actually made money with SMC, and I personally believe that it would be very, very hard to make a livable income with SMC. Four reasons why I personally would not join Specialty Merchandise Corporation are:

  1. There is way too much competition, plus there are a lot of copy cat companies like SMC.
  2. The profit margin is way too small. After your overhead, you would literally need to sell hundreds of products every week just to make a decent income.
  3. The demand for these products are very low. When was the last time you bought something from SMC?
  4. The marketing style is very twentieth century. Yeah, ok they offer duplicate websites. However, search engines don't accept affiliate sites into their database. And you have no leeway against competitors.

I'm not saying it's impossible to make money with Specialty Merchandise Corporation. But unless your one of the select few doing the recruiting it is extremely difficult and even impractical.

>> Lotto International
Lotto International Image

False International lottery claims are usually associated with spam emails telling them they have already won a big jackpot in an international lottery that they never even entered. What an amazing stroke of luck.

Their goal is to get your personal information and also get you to send them an up front fee to cover taxes, customs, wire transfers, and so on. You'll not only be a victim of identity theft in the coming weeks, but you'll be out any money you send them as well.

This is similar to the Nigerian 419 scam, promises of millions in exchange for a few thousand dollars in up front costs, money you'll never see again. Just remember that Lotto International or anyone else isn't going to mass mail you millions of dollars for a contest you never entered. These types of scams play on people’s greed and naiveté. I would avoid every international lottery or any email with the name lotto international on it.

Remember that no legitimate gambling company is going to pick someone out of the clear blue and give them a ridiculous sum of money. On the contrary, there are some International lotteries, from which people from many countries, typically Europe, can enter. I couldn't find any of the traditional, legitimate international lotteries doing business on the Internet however. This is mainly because lotteries don't accept credit cards for tickets, as credit card fraud would be sky high. I guess gambling and fraud goes hand-in-hand, go figure.

Steer clear of international lottery claims!

>> Currency Exchange
Currency Exchange Image

Currency Exchange or foreign exchange is a business in which currency of one country is expressed in another country’s currency and fee or exchange rate is charged for this trading. This exchange rate between two currencies specifies how much one currency is worth in terms of the other.

Currency exchange is required when people travel from one country to other. They either go to bank or currency exchange bureau to convert their home currency to the other country’s currency so they can pay for buying goods or services in the other country. Currency exchange is also important for businesses outside home country. For example, if you export goods to foreign countries and gets payment in that country’s currency, your money is converted to your country’s currency through currency exchange service.

Currency exchange is also required by investors and speculators to trade in foreign investment. Commercial and investment banks trade currencies as a service for their commercial banking, deposit and lending customer.

Currency exchange is always done with currency pairs like EUR/ESD, the first one is the base currency and the second one is the quote currency. The currency pair is used as an instrument, to be bought or sold.

However, currency exchange is not a get rich quick business, and a lot of times your money is not insured/secured by any agency or government.

Currency exchange trade goes through a three-step process:

  • First the traders communicate the currency pair and the amount they would like to trade with another dealer.
  • Then the dealer responds with a bid and an ask price.
  • The traders respond to the bid and ask price with Buy, Sell or Refuse.
  • The transaction occurs if the final response is Buy or Sell.
>> Get Paid To Surf
Envelope Stuffing Image

I was asked if this sort of business is a scam and the simple answer is no. What can be misleading is the sort of returns this business can generate. Getting paid to surf has been around the net for years. It's just another way to promote companies' advertisements. There has never been any real money in this and there never will be.

This is not a very good money making opportunity. The return to effort ratio is lousy, in fact the most money made with this is maybe a pitful $20. And that's from the people that took this seriously and decided to spend hours and hours clicking through ads. Do you really want to spend hours with ads in your face all day for a mere $15 or $20? Of course not.

Now they do offer reselling programs, however there is a very low response rate for obvious reasons. The system is just completely ineffective, and just another way for companies to advertise.

The scoop: I believe that this is a very deceptive program and it is not even worth writing a full article.

>> Online Business System
Envelope Stuffing Image

The concept of an online business system is all about using the Internet to do business better and faster. Online business system is about integrating your website with the heart of your business and allowing the customers to serve themselves. Online business system lets you deal with the customers virtually; neither you nor your customers come to know each other.

Online business system starts with a professional and user-friendly website, which acts as the online version of your real business. Online business store requires product catalog, shopping cart, order form, payment process system etc. Orders are placed through interactive online order form, and items are shipped accordingly.

In online business system transactions are made through credit cards, customers cannot pay using cash or check. The transactions take place through secure electronic connection and special merchant account for accepting payment. Once the payment is received, the product is delivered to the customer. However, there are some issues about security in online business transaction. Sometimes, customers’ credit card information is hacked by the Internet frauds and used by them.

The success of online business depends on networking and marketing plan. Build your mailing list and write them regularly to remind them about your business, your latest products and services. Provide necessary information along with sales pitch. Use advertising wisely with banners, logos; participate in link exchange program. Keep the media informed about your business with press release campaign and optimize your website for search engines. Become affiliate partner of some leading affiliate programs; you can also earn quick money from your online business system

>> Choose To Be Rich
Robert Kiyosaki Image

Choose To Be Rich is another program written by Robert Kiyosaki. The course explains how Robert became wealthy and the type of relationships you should create with CPA’s, Tax Attorneys, Financial Planners, etc.

There is a lot of repetition in this course if you have read “Rich Dad Poor Dad”. There are several mind opening ways of how you should handle your finances and view your income.

I like Robert Kiyosaki and agree with most of his views on money. But like most financial gurus, there are no specific techniques on how to actually make money. Viewing your financial goals differently is only the first step to becoming successful.

It boils down to the nuts and bolts of creating an income. That is where success really begins. I recommend his program, but not as a money making course.

>> Jim Rohn Method
Jim Rohn Image

Jim Rohn is a philosopher, motivational counselor, business executive, and bestselling author. He has been recognized as the greatest motivational speaker of all time. He is a recipient of the 1985 National Speakers Association CPAE Award. He has authored over 17 different books, audio, and video programs. Rohn has been internationally hailed over the years as one of the most influential thinkers of our time.

Some of his products include: The Day That Turns Your Life Around, Cultivating an Unshakable Character by Jim Rohn, The Power of Ambition, The Challenge to Succeed, and Take Charge of Your Life.

Obviously, Jim Rohn has an excellent reputation and I do agree with some of the principles that are tought. If your looking for philosophy then he wouldn’t be a bad choice. But the problem with motivational hype is that it has to be backed with nuts and bolts of creating an income or it is of no value. Motivation is the drive to find the answer, but not the answer itself.

The scoop: The world is full of philosophy and philosophers, but lacks pure money making secrets. Jim Rohn has excellent products to provide. But if your looking to become successful, just motivation will not cut it.

>> Tupperware Parties
Tuppperware Image

Tupperware parties have to be one of the weakest opportunities since Kirby vacuum cleaners. I am not really going to get into this too much, but I will give you some facts into helping you make a wise decision.

  1. How many Tupperware parties do you think you can put on?
  2. Is your profit margin really that good? (Don't let people tell you otherwise)
  3. With this being sold in more and more places on the net do you think people are going to want to set out a certain time to buy it from you?
  4. Some of the top sellers, including people I personally know barely made a few hundred bucks a month.
  5. These things just don't last, and most people never make anything.
  6. This is not really worth writing any more reasons on this opportunity.

There are better ways to make money, trust me on this one. Read on through the other reviews on this page for countless other business opportunities.

>> Mary Kay Cosmetics
Mary Kay Image

Mary Kay Cosmetics is a familiar name in beauty products. Mary Kay is a privately held company that specializes in the direct sale of skin and color cosmetics. The company was founded in 1963 and the corporate headquarters is located in Dallas, Texas.

Mary Kay is the direct seller of beauty products through its MLM marketing strategy. The company has independent sales force with about 1.3 million consultants in more than 30 countries worldwide including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Mexico, Spain, UK, and US.

Mary Kay offers about 200 premium products in six categories like facial skin care, color cosmetics; nail care, body care, sun protection and fragrance. The personal care products from Mary Kay are for men as well as for women. Most of the Mary Kay products are manufactured in company’s Dallas site, which has about 275,000 square feet of floor space, 35 processing vessels and 42 packaging lines. There is another manufacturing unit in China that serves the company’s subsidiaries in the Asia Pacific region.

Mary Kay business schedule truly works for you and you can decide how fast or how slow you want to advance in your business. You require to pay only $100 as the start up cost for starting Mary Kay business, but the kit that you get contains $300 worth of products. So you have plenty to get your business jumpstarted.

Mary Kay commission structure lets you earn 50% commission on personal sales. You can also have the opportunity of earning 4%, 9% or 13% from unit production, which is directly paid by the company.

Mary Kay is definitely a viable opportunity for someone to make an income, however in my opinion it would be very difficult to make a full time primary income without a lot of in your face selling or a large network of customers.

Orion Repair is a successful home based dental hand piece repair business. The company has been in business, hitherto, for the last 10 years and they have been providing successful business training for the last 4 years. In comparison to national and international competitors, this company provides much better services to the local dentists. They hold franchise authority and so are restricted to one business and area.

Orion Repair provides the best value to you if you want to open new hand piece sales or repair business. There are several people who want to get into the business but avoid purchasing the franchise.
