Sounds great, right?A Job Search Is An Emotional Roller-Coaster RideSearching for a job can evoke a range of emotions. If you are searching for a job, then you may often be more open to negative and depressing emotions like anger and shame, instead of positive emotions. These emotions may rise and ebb, only to resurface again later.Searching for a job is like going on an emotional roller coaster ride - but what you may not know is that there are ways that you can control the Wrong! It's the latest in work from home scams and simple to create: all you need is a website and a affiliate ID with ClickBank. I have looked at over a dozen of these sites. They were all designed with one basic principle in mind: steering you toward the three to five sites they wanted you to purchase through their ClickBank affiliate links. One note about ClickBank. ClickBank is not a bank as its name implies. According to them, they are a "digital marketplace" that sells "digitally delivered products." While many of the questionable products I have found are sold via ClickBank and Google Ads, and you might wonder about a company who is willing to profit off such schemes, you shouldn't necessarily blame them. After all, would you blame Amazon or BooksaMillion for selling you a bad book? It's a moral quandary, sure, but it is simpler to teach consumers to protect themselves, then to try to battle against consumerism. When looking at these sites, ask yourself these questions: 1. Does the person give himself or herself a title without proving it? I've seen sites where the author was claiming to be an "online fraud investigator," although he never stated for what company. Other sites claim they are "protection" agencies, but in reality, they just people trying to part you with your money. 2. Does the site claim to have been seen on well-known sites, newspapers, magazines, or TV shows but fail to give the dates, times and links to this information? As far as you know, they could have been profiled on those programs as being scams. Don't assume that those sites lend creditability to what you are looking at until you see it for yourself. 3. Does it use strong words in its title that are designed to produce a strong response? They might claim to be "scam free" or the "top site." They'll claim to be a "review" site or a "consumer protection" site. 4. Does the site provide affiliate links and only link to sites you have to pay for? A ClickBank affiliate link is easy to spot. Right click on the link and select "properties." If you read something that has "hop.clickbank.net" in it or if you click on the link and you wind up at a site that has "hop=XXXX" (XXXX= the person's unique affiliate ID) in it, it's an affiliate link. You may have to click on more one of the links as the sites are learning to cloak the links to try to seem more legitimate. You might also want to see who owns the site and any sites they are promoting. Sometimes, these sites end up being the same. 5. Read the small print on the site.

It's a moral quandary, sure, but it is simpler to teach consumers to protect themselves, then to try to battle against consumerism.Whenever I talk about buying businesses I tend to get a lot of questions about distance. How far away should a business you buy be? Should it be in your backyard? Should it be in another city? Another state? Another country? In other words, they want to know if distance plays a factor in the success of a business they buy, and what do I think about it?
