Email Processing

I'm sure you've all gotten the emails or seen the ads, "Make $250 to $750 a week processing emails from home" "Get paid $25 for each email you process." Here's the skinny on these programs: Basically you place ads all over the internet using search engines, bulletin boards, link exchanges, ezines, safelists, etc. You are typically advertising the sale of an ebook offering a list of companies "hiring" at home workers. While this is not a scam, you do actually send your customers what you advertise, I don't feel comfortable doing this because the majority of the companies listed in these ebooks can be found for free by doing a simple search or browsing many work at home sites. It is possible to make money this way and if you'd like to try it out you can click the title of this post to go to my email processing page, but in my opinion this is neither the most effective nor the most scrupulous way to generate an income online. Although my website is currently active and I still fill orders I no longer advertise this opportunity as I don't recommend it. I rate this work at home scheme along with sites that charge you for a list of survey sites or other information that can easily be found for free.
