It is wise to be safe online when looking for a job. There are many online programs that let you earn an income online and there are some that takes your income away from you.
Here are some of the common ways that may cause you to lose money while working online:
1. Scam sites
“Home typing jobs”, “Home typing opportunity” or “Legitimate work-at-home opportunity” … you will see these advertisements many times while surfing the internet claiming that you can earn up to $500 a day doing home typing jobs. They will ask you to fill up a form and send it to them along with a registration fee. In a few days time, you will receive a starter pack with information containing a long list of companies that may be looking for a work-at-home typist. A job that promises to provide you with a steady and stable income with easy-to-do jobs that only requires a few hours of your time is most likely a scam.
2. Not getting paid for work done
Your employer doesn’t pay you after you have submitted your completed project to him. This will be a great disappointment to you as you have already poured out all your effort and time in completing the project and waiting to get paid. So, the next time you work on a freelancer site, make sure that your employer pays you in escrow before you start on a project.
3. Big promises
Some sites will make big promises to you but these sites are the ones which are likely to make you lose a lot of money. Even if you did not lose your money, you have already lost so much of your time because it did not return what is promised to you after completion of your work. Never believe sites that make big promises. Most of these sites will usually ask you to pay a certain amount of money in order to start work.
You should try your best to avoid such sites and avoid getting scammed by others. If you are able to avoid these scam sites, then you will likely save a great deal of money and probably use your precious time to make money elsewhere.
