Has anyone ever made any money off of this stuff? I mean besides the scam artist obviously. Seriously, show me a system that let’s you make a little money on the side taking a couple hours a day and I’ll check it out. Heck, send me your referrer ID and I’ll even help you get a few extra bucks!

I’m in the process of investigating 3 ad-based “click for pay” systems; but the results are still days away.

Since I’ve got you here, consider checking into services you’re already paying for. Web hosting, domain hosting, pro office/ document services, paid media sites, etc. If you purchase services from anything remotely related to those, check their websites for an “Affiliates” link. Even if they don’t make it obvious, give them a call. Most of the time, they offer some kind of referral system that allows you to benefit from getting people to buy their services. If you get enough people to sign up, the system may even pay for that service, which means more money for you!

After you’ve signed up enough people for the service (assuming it’s a monthly service and not a one-time purchase) you’ll get a recurring payout, in most cases. You can use the money to pay for your next month’s usage, or cash out. (Paypal etc) Essentially, it’s a legit way to make a little money just by sticking a link on your blog, flirting around with Twitter or Facebook, etc.

One company in particular that I know has an excellent payout is Site5. Here’s the skinny:
Click that, and you’ll see, those rates are pretty reasonable. Not to mention, if you keep it up, you could pay off your account, and even upgrade to a better account, which pays itself off!

It’s just a suggestion. Not to mention Site5‘s reputation for having 99.9% uptime, and their 24/7/365(+1 on leapyear) live chat support, helpdesk, faq, forums, etc etc etc. Basically if there’s an issue that you can’t, don’t have the time to, or don’t know how to solve, they’ll hook you up, or let you know who to talk to.

Now I’m not saying that there isn’t the occasional glitch… but after nearly 5 years of hosting with them, the only issues I’ve had, were ones I caused myself. They update their hardware and software regularly, and maintain their stuff quite well. There really isn’t a downside to Site5 that I’ve seen so far. If you find one, let me know and I’ll add it to the review.

If you find a way to make money at home legitimately, or you have a business that lets people work from home legitimately, let me know. I will investigate it, run it by the BBB database and get it checked out. If everything is OK, I’ll post a review on it, and I might even sign up. That is, if there’s not a hidden $70.99 charge somewhere.

Really, I mean, wow. This insane individual is ripping people off by taking $100.00 from them to give them something they could do by themselves, for a fraction of the price.

Not to mention, this guy is using WordPress, and probably other free Open Source Software (some of which has strict non-profit licenses) which by the way is FREE. So why in the heck is this “get up” doing this? Probably the same reason why phishers and social engineers do what they do. Making easy money off of people who simply aren’t familiar with these things. Anyone can run a blog, but the average joe on the street couldn’t tell you how to set up one. But it might take half an hour, and they’ve got enough know-how to install WordPress. This is just pathetic.

For those of you who didn’t know, I offer free (for life) hosting to any artist, non-profit organization, church, artgroup, and probably any other group or individual who exhibits a growing desire to attain skill and knowledge and improve their skills as a designer, composer, and/or artist, or group.

I will even set up your blog/forum/etc for you, and help you figure out a design. I request a mere text link in return, but it isn’t required.

If you question this offer, please refer to any of the people under the ihost category on the right sidebar. Also, please visit The Luminarium’s community for even more references.

If you challenge my knowledge, my integrity, my quality of person, or other of my traits, you will meet a very large, very high, very solid brick wall.

You offer a good, decent, affordable, valid, user-friendly, and helpful service, I’ll support it, promote it, and maybe even use it myself. You offer me crap, bs wrapped in tp with ribbon in it, you’ll get a flaming bag of crap on your porch. Just a friendly warning.

And NO I did not include the link to this @$$#*!3s website because I don’t want to make anyone else suffer. You get the general idea ( and the URL) from the screenshot above.
