At the top of our Forum page (before sign-in; is gone after signing in) is an ad for some kind of promotion that proclaims that a "Chattanooga Mom Makes $77 an Hour..."
I have three questions: have you clicked-through to investigate this "opportunity"? Have you bought (I'm confident that this program is not free) the stuff? And, who is the cutie in the picture?
As usual, looks too good to be true. Maybe a few of us can Poole some money, invest in the program, and write an article for a weekly alternative Newspaper.

I started clicking until I got to the page that stated that they were in no way associated with Google. That's where I lost interest.

Much caution is advised. Many (if not most or all) of these are scams where you have to give a credit card, and they charge you $79 or $89 each month for their "service", whatever that is. You probably only make money if you get others to give you their credit card number and you charge them $79 or $89 each month for your "service". There are Google and Twitter variations of this. The girl in the picture is probably from a royalty-free image library, with the location being generated based on your network address. If you happen to connect in, say, Chicago, the same picture would appear, but it would say, "Chicago Mom Makes $77 an Hour...".

Mine says it's a Soldotna mom that makes all that money.

99.9% of these work from home ads are scams.
Way back in the old days, it was a bit different, and I think only 80% of them were scams. I know my dad paid part of his way through college assembling transistor radio circuit boards through one of these companies, back in the late '60s. It was a lot of work, but he was good at it and dedicated enough to turn over enough to make it worth his while.
I really doubt there is anything like that left to be done here that can't be done cheaper overseas, with the possible exception of the phone sex industry.

Almost any one can make $75 per hour. The trick is to get that much for more than a few hours a week in a job that does not include erotica or something illegal.

Thanks! I think I'll pass...
Besides, I'm not a Mom.

Mine says it's a Soldotna mom that makes all that money. Mine says "Austin Mom makes $77.00" an hour and it's a pic of about an 18 year old girl setting there in a bare midriff top. It's all a lie, I'm telling you, It's all a lie. |

I just keep getting "Mom's White Teeth Trick" and it shows a woman holding a black patten leather stiletto shoe heal in her mouth. I don't think that will whiten my teeth. Besides, women don't lick shoes. Men do.
