cjinc.info, Legit or a Scam?

Many people, job hunters in particular, wonder whether cjinc.info is legit or a scam. I found myself wondering the same thing recently as I was looking for a typing job and I decided to write a post on my take on the website. Here it is: I have been seriously looking for other ways of earning online apart from academic writing. I figured that typing jobs wouldn't be a bad idea. A search on the internet returned cjinc.info as one of the search results, though a sponsored result. I immediately clicked on it and was excited to see their rates- US $ 2.5 to 5  per 1000 words for offline typing jobs and US $ 3.5 to 6 per 1000 words for online typing. That is an excellent rate by all means. I did quick calculations and figured that each day I would make a whooping $21 working for only 3 hours. I am always wary of scams, there are so many of them online nowadays, and so I first checked for reviews on the site. There weren't many and so I went back to the site and analyzed it carefully...

Kallery.net, is it spam?

 Have you been getting a lot of page views from Kallery.net from South Korea? They appear to visit every blog and they really mess up with the stats.

Well, not really because I still have not signed up with Adsense and so I am earning nothing from blogging. However, occasionally (mostly when my employer irritates me) I do write several blog posts. It was a relief to see that at least I had an audience-a whooping 3 views moments after publishing a blog post! I was ecstatic, but wait a minute, all the views are from one source: kallery.net. So South Koreans are finding my content interesting and worth attention? The first thing I did was to click on the referring URL-can't remember where I ended up (Many bloggers say that they end up at porn galleries which is very weird). My instincts told me to be wary of spam, but I had already clicked on ...

Realwritingjobs.com Scam or Legit?

Of late academic writing has been unsatisfying for me. All of a sudden the company I have been working for for 3 years on a full time basis has discovered that my writing is not so good after all. The result? Fines on each and every paper that I write due to proofreading errors. Blogging has sounded like the break I have been looking for. But how do I write articles that will drive traffic to my site? A search through the internet gave me an idea to check Ezine for the "most viewed articles". Unfortunately for me, the section no longer existed. But as I perused through the categories, I saw an ad that attracted me. It was about earning "$317" daily from article writing. It was an ad by realwritingjobs.com. I clicked on it and this is the message I got: "We are currently not accepting members from your country, we apologize." A closer look at their 'FAQS' presents one with this information:"Citizens of ALL countries can join". Well, maybe ...
