excellent post here with information which is so, so, so important. I know that when i have my customer hat on, the last thing i want is to be blatantly sold to. Making money online is great of course but there's a right way and a wrong way. what's been outlined here is totally correct. many thanks
john

armywife1988: How do i help them?
Hi Shari,
The simple answer is that you can't. You're never going to be able to help everyone. I know exactly what you mean about trying to encourage people to try something that you KNOW genuinely works, and feel frustrated for them when they continue to make bad decisions trying things that don't.
Your best option is just to continue on helping those you can and building some credibility for yourself. As you stick around a particular forum and build a reputation for helping others by providing helpful tips, more and more people will be led to consider your recommendations.
That doesn't happen quickly. Be patient and help those you can. 
Extra tip: By placing your email address in its proper format, you are opening yourself to an unspeakable amount of spambots targeting you. If you really want to show your email, spell out the at rather than the sign, like cooleyshariathotmail.com or place some spaces like this cooleyshari @ hotmail.com You'll save yourself some frustrations and headaches.
Blessings,
Angie

Great advice Vishal. I agree that we all need to pay it forward. This practice, I have found, has given me the most success and friends.

Thanks Vishal and all the rest of the community here to a warm welcoming. I recently ventured in to a business and decided to search around to make sure I'm doing things right. I was on these forums for about 2 minutes before realizing that I wanted to register and bookmark this to return habitually. I am very impressed with the topics and look forward to conversations that may arise in the future.

Hello Vishal and of course everyone else here. Being a newbie to forums, reading all of your posts has enlightened me. I still feel somewhat intimidated, but reading all the great information has eased that feeling. Look forward to reading and learning more from everyone's posts!

Guilty as charged! But I am learning and thank you for showing us the way! Thats exactly why I am here! What better way to learn than to make a few mistakes along the way, so hopefully we don't repeat them!
Again, thanks for your guidance Vishal!

Hi my name is angie. I've been scammed many times through home bases businesses. I want to know if there is someone who is working one that actually makes a profit. My faith in this business has greatly decreased. I now google a business to see if anyone thinks that it's a scam, but people are now making money on businesses that are a scam. I just don't know who to believe. That's why I would like to talk with someone who is really making money, and will show me step by step what they did, so i can follow it exactly. I'm willing to do the work I just need someone to show me. If that person is you, please email me personally so that we can exchange numbers, i'm desperate!

Hi Angie,
I'm Angie, too. I'm making money from my websites that I built about things I'm interested in. You can take a look at them and see what I mean.
I don't know what kind of home businesses you've been involved with in the past, but there are so many different kinds and a great many of the ones in the 'work from home' field are pretty scammy.
You would probably be better off building your own independent business like I did and am doing around something that you already know or love.
I didn't have any prior knowledge or experience, but was able to follow a step by step Action Guide to help me create my first (then second, and third) website.
Thankfully, I hadn't got caught up in too many scams before finding something that works. I admit that I did purchase a few 'ebooks' and 'programs' that promised the moon and delivered ashes. Fortunately, I was quick enough to recognize it and get my money back before losing anything other than my time.
If something sounds like you are going to make a lot of money quickly with little or no effort, completely ignore it.
If you are willing to do the work like you say you are, there is no reason why you can't build your own home based business online that will gradually grow and bring in an extra income for you.
Do you have a hobby, special interest, passion, skill, or knowledge in a particular area? Turn it into a niche topic website that you can be proud of.
If that sounds too hard or scary, don't worry. If you have the right instruction manual and tools, it's not at all as bad as it sounds. 
If this is something that sounds like you might be interested in learning more about, feel free to send me a private message, or contact me through one of my websites.
I'm more than happy to explain the steps I took to get where I am so far. I have a long way to go yet to get to where I want to be, but I have really come a long way and can see the checkered flag in the distance. 
Blessings,
Angie

Angie,
Hello, and thank you for that encouraging response. I do apologize for taking so long to respond. I checked out your sites and they are awesome!!! That's wonderful that you can use your hobbies to make money. I was trying to think of the hobbies that i do, but I don't have many. I work full time, I attend church, and I sing with a local gospel group. Many times, i have activities going on with all three in the same week or weekend and it can be very tiring, so sitting at home is all i want to do sometimes.
When I was in school, i told my classmates that i wanted to have a site where married couples could buy things to enhance their love life and they looked at me like i was a freak or something. I wasn't trying to sell porn, I was trying to help couples that have troubles in that department. In my mind I was thinking that it could be one less divorce in the world. So after being discouraged about my idea, I decided to give other home based businesses a try, and I've failed miserably because many of these businesses are scams.
Don't get me wrong, my faith is still there, but it's dwindling down. So any help or advice you can offer is greatly appreciated. I'm still new to this site so I don't know how to send a private message. Lol, perhaphs we can start there. I look forward to hearing from you Angie!!! God bless and thanks for your time.

Hi Angie,
Thanks for your kind words about my sites. I appreciate that. I'm pretty amazed sometimes when I look at them objectively and see how far I've come.
Let's get you started first with learning to send a private message (pm). To the left you'll see the member info. of each person posting. Next to the name is a little envelope. When you click on the envelope next to someones name, you are able to send them a pm.
To check your own private messages, look at the top of the page and you'll see a link that says private messages (you have to be logged in, I think). Clicking on that link will take you to your own private message folder.
I'll send you a pm so you can test it out.
akirk: I was trying to think of the hobbies that i do, but I don't have many.
That's okay. It's not required that you choose a hobby. It's just a really fun option. It can be anything you are interested in, or want to learn more about. You'll learn how to do some brainstorming and research to pick out a niche topic that is right for you.
akirk: Hi, I read that site and the opportunity sound amazing!!! However, I could not get any of the links to open up. Can you tell me what i need to do to get the links to open up?? Thanks!!
Which site are you referring to?
Blessings,
Angie

Thanks Vishal!
Let's just say I'm a little new to this forum contribution concept. Have been reading forums for years, taking in whatever i could, but never spending the time to contribute to any posts.
Well...now is the time to share and I am extremely thankful for this post, as it has provided me with so much quality information during the short time I have been reading posts.
Thanks to everyone for sharing your experiences and I hope to have some to share in the near future!

Hey Vishal (man, FORCE the spellcheck to recognize your name )
I want to say it's a breath of fresh air to hear an admin saying this. I'm a member at forums and there are always people who scan topics looking for the opportunity to show up and say, "I had the same problem. I found the solution and it's great!! Check my sig". When I point out that that's pretty much the same thing as someone spamming, mods usually delete my posts.
As for this forum: I think it's great. I'm not one of the people here to share good info. I think of myself as a splash of icy water or a slap in the face. I try to tell people the truth. Sure, most won't listen but surely somebody will.
Heh-heh... if nothing else, I might save someone from falling for a scam because in the back of their minds they wonder if it's my sales page and they don't want to give me any money.

Hey Henry, I come across many who post just for the sake of flashing their signature. I simply direct them to read this post.
Most calm down and realize what they have been doing. For those who don't I just show them the door. I don't hesitate a bit.
Regarding what to share, I like your attitude. One of the best thing you can do to yourself is to just be yourself and not try to be somebody else.

Vishal is an excellent administrator. It's been my experience that sig flashers either change their ways or are gone quickly.
Henry, I think you contribute quite a bit of quality stuff to the forum. I enjoy reading your input.
