Scam

If you’re a Facebook lurker, beware of this ad that says “Mystery Shoppers Wanted”. Although mystery-shopping is a legit job like anything else from plumbing to selling Blue Advantage, the website to which this Facebook ad was linked to has nothing to do with mystery shopping the way I knew it. The ad’s content is all mystery and yes, more shopping too. These sleazebags are out to get their hands in your credit card account and rip off your hard-earned money.

Here are the reasons why I think the website Google Profusion and the supporting testimonial of someone named Rosario Bautista are both scams:

1. Their Facebook ad is misleading. I.e. “mystery shoppers wanted”.

2. When you read through Rosario’s testimonial, it’s too good to be true. P480k a month through Google links? Are you kidding me? I’m a legit Google Adsense publisher earning not even $50 a month from Google ads posted on my site.

3. The website “Google Profusion” does not explain how you earn those staggering amounts. It’s all vague. You get paid for posting links? Whose links? Where do you post it? Do they give you a website? Why would Google do that when it already has Adsense? Truth is you can get Google’s Blogger account for free and sign-up to their Adsense also for free. So why pay to get a job?

4. Rosario Bautista’s page is the only page in http://onlinesuccessblogs.com/rosariobautista/blog/?t202id=32738&t202kw=phms-8. Click on the site’s homepage and all you get is a blank page. There were no links to their success stories published in CNN, New York Times, etc.

5. They only pay in checks. Why is there no Paypal option? Most of my legit online jobs uses Paypal to transfer payments.

6. Google has nothing to do with it.

7. Lastly, read what those who got suckered in say about their experiences.

PinoyWriters: Blog your passion and earn from it

Pinoywriters blog workshop at Powerbooks Megamall

That was the first time I spoke to more than a dozen of people in a public place about profitable blogging. We were at Powerbooks Megamall last Saturday to conduct the second PinoyWriters workshop on web writing series called “Blog your passion and earn from it”.

Not that I have already achieved a six-digit income from Adsense. My online income since January is just enough to cover some of my monthly bills and set aside a portion for savings. The fact that I have already profited from this venture is already a rewarding experience. I don’t mind sharing to people about the things I know. There are people out there who went out of their way to teach me the craft. I felt it’s time to give back and spread the blessing. Watch out for it pretty soon.

PinoyWriters continues to offer its web writing series. This Saturday, Jude Cartalaba will teach bloggers and web writers how to write an engaging SEO copy.

I’d like to thank Aileen Santos of PinoyWriters for taking time out to train me together with a couple of new writer friends although I was not able to complete all three Saturdays. To those who attended the workshop last Saturday, I am so glad to have met you all so let’s keep in touch and buy the moon soon. And to Hey Jude, thank you for co-facilitating my first public workshop ever.

Here’s what you need to get started:

1. Your information
