Book Description

June 16, 2010
There is nothing worse than sitting down with your checkbook at the end of the month and realizing that you don't have enough to meet your basic needs. It's happening a lot right now: unemployment is running rampant, people are getting laid off in massive numbers, savings and investments aredrying up quickly, and many people are relying on their credit cards to cover basic necessities. Having an extra job, or other random sources of income, could mean the difference between constant worry and financial stability. But what do you do when you can't distinguish between legitimate work and a clever ploy? Bethany Mooradian, Queen of the Random Job, offers over 300 ideas, resources, and legitimate companies that can help you bridge the income gap. Using her experience and knowledge in Internet marketing, she reveals the most common tricks of scammers. She empowers you with the resources to research companies and job offers so you'll never have to ask, "Is this job for real?" I Got Scammed, So You Don't Have To! offers a ton of valuable information: Techniques of Scammers and Common Scams: A behind-the-scenes look at Internet marketing essential for anyone who uses the Web and email. Making Money: Over 170 companies, ideas, and resources to create your own business or side income from your talents, skills, and assets. Get a Random Job: Over 140 legitimate companies that offer flexible work environments, or hire at-home-workers. Creating a Business: We can no longer trust our employers to take care of us! Now non-entrepreneurs can develop a new mindset and open their hearts to the joy of small business ownership.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Didn't Get Scammed by reading this book, November 23, 2010
By 
This review is from: I Got Scammed So You Don't Have To!: How to Find Legitimate Work at Home and Random Jobs in a Scamming Economy (Paperback)
This book really is four in one, and part of me wishes that the author took the time to write and expand on all sections, but on the other hand, I'm glad it's all put together in one tidy package.

Since I'm more into entrepreneurship, this book was recommended to me to help me develop different income sources for my business. The first part of the book was mostly technical tips regarding scammers and Internet information. The fourth part really helped me see beyond my one method of earning money through the business and gave me some good tips into branching out. By far, it was the most useful part of the book for me personally. The middle sections gave real companies and ideas on how I could expand my current offerings through affiliate marketing, selling print-on-demand chachkies, chat-lines for customer support (or charging for consulting) and more. For anyone looking at work at home jobs or just ways to make extra money, sections 2 and 3 are definitely for you. The author gives a LOT of companies to work for, either as an employee or independent contractor.

Overall, this book is extremely useful for the work at home professional or entrepreneur.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stuff I didn't know, but should have, August 12, 2010
This review is from: I Got Scammed So You Don't Have To!: How to Find Legitimate Work at Home and Random Jobs in a Scamming Economy (Paperback)
I've been writing and freelancing online for years, but I found many tips and tricks in this book that were new to me. Bethany covers all the important keys to making a business out of random or freelance jobs, including suggestions for organizing receipts and paperwork, tracking income, job hunting online, income tax considerations and more.

Her wit and personality shine through what could otherwise be a tedious read, and I found myself reading page after page, actually laughing out loud.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tips to get you going on the independent path, November 18, 2010
This review is from: I Got Scammed So You Don't Have To!: How to Find Legitimate Work at Home and Random Jobs in a Scamming Economy (Paperback)
This is probably one of the most informed and well written books for the up and coming entrepreneur I have read lately.

It is concise, to the point, and contains a wealth of information - from how to understand and grasp the vocabulary and use of internet marketing, to what to look for when navigating the pros and cons of starting your own business, be it a franchise, MLM or garage start-up. Written with humor and candor, it is to the point and highly readable. A book for today and today's economy.

Ms. Mooradian is smart, focused and highly resourceful. I recommend buying this book and, if you live in the Emerald City of Seattle, you might even consider attending one of her classes! Nanci, Artist/Photographer
