CASH LEVERAGING HOME BUSINESS - CAN IT WORK? – IS IT REAL?

Most of the people that are contemplating starting a cash leveraging home business or finding a viable second income stream are having a hard time making ends meet. It seems like prices are going up, second job options are getting harder and harder to find and our salaries are staying the same. Don't you just hate going from paycheck to paycheck? I know I did.

Who are we fooling? Something has to give. People are playing Lottery Scratch games, Mega millions, Powerball, and lotto, anything that will keep our hope alive and not fall into a financial black hole. More and more people are looking for a second income that could possibly end up being a primary source of income.

You know as well as I that most of us are going through one form or another of financial distress. We are looking and searching to find that special something, that opportunity, that saving grace that actually works.  Then after an exhaustive search and thinking that we've actually found it, we begin to doubt it can be done or doubt ourselves as to whether we can make it work. That's called Fear rearing its ugly head. Man alive, the things we go through just to make ends meet. Most of us are completely stressed out. The phone rings and we jump. Is it the bill collector, the credit card company, is that the bank calling to say that I went over my account limit, what's next? This would drive anybody nuts!

If you go on the Internet, we read ads that say, "YOU TOO CAN MAKE A GAZILLION DOLLARS IN THE FIRST THREE HOURS OR LESS OR YOUR MONEY BACK". Good luck trying to get through to get your money back. The net is full of people who prey on your fears, frustrations and financial stress. These people are good at it. They know what to say, when to say it and how to separate you from your hard earned money. They probably have a free home course on "How to trip a man when he's down" and then sell him a "Get off the Floor remedy".

Barnum Bailey said it best " There's a sucker born every minute" and these Internet marketers know how to push your buttons to get you to open your wallets. The problem is that they are shooting themselves in the foot because they are making their audience more and more skeptical to every proposition they put out there. No wonder nobody can decide when a real opportunity falls into their lap.

WHAT TO DO?  WHAT TO DO?

Lets see if I can help by showing you what to look for. None of us want to fall prey to the endless amount of scams and questionable offers that are being displayed on the Internet. Remember the snake oil salesman of the Old West, who traveled in their covered wagons, selling their miracle oil or elixir that could cure all things. In our modern times, the Internet is the covered wagon and the cure alls are all the scams being offered to solve our ever-pressing financial woes.

Cash gifting is a wonderful concept. In its pure form it's a blessing to those in need.  Gifting, as I understand it to be, is when a certain amount of cash, usually under $12,000 per person, per year, is given to another, in need, with the expectation of getting nothing back in return, a great concept in its pure form. Churchgoers do this all the time and give to their parish without the expectation of getting anything in return just from the kindness of their hearts. This form of giving is called Tithes.

When Cash Gifting is used to make others rich and promoted to the general public for their benefit and the benefit of others it becomes illegal. Don't get me wrong; if a legitimate cash-leveraging program is structured properly and legally, it can be a very lucrative and a wonderful thing for all involved. Ask any Serial Gifter who has had a taste of the cash gifting rush they get when they receive their first package of money in the mail. Unfortunately these gifting programs don't last to long for the same reasons that I have outlined below.

THE PROBLEM:

"HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A LEGITIMATE CASH LEVERAGING OPPORTUNITY."

Ludwig von Mises stated that: "Under Capitalism everybody provides for their own needs by serving others".

1. Look for a cash gifting/leveraging opportunity that has a history of performance. I would suggest a minimum of two years.
2. Make sure that the entity/Company has a mailing address. If you should ever need to get in contact with that company you know where to look. This is how to recognize fly by night companies.
3. Make sure that they have a full support system in place to answer any questions you may have and a good tracking system to keep track of all referrals under you so that you can track payments being made to you directly.
4. Make sure that they are a legal entity: which means that they have a product based structure that incorporates the best features of cash gifting/leveraging. The product base is what makes a cash-gifting/leveraging program a Legitimate Business.  A Program that is gifting for the sake of making money, short term, for their benefit and promoted, as a business is ILLEGAL. What makes cash gifting a legitimate business is the promotion of a true and legitimate product base, which, in reality, is a true benefit because now you have a multiple income stream legitimate business.
5. Make sure that they have a good website with several capture pages and an auto responder to assist in the marketing of the business.
6. Make sure they have different levels or tiers of participation. (For example: $250, $500, $1000 and $2000 entry levels) This allows for a person to participate at an entry level and work their way up to the top tier.
7. Make sure that you are the first one to get paid. The reason I mention this is that in most programs, the sponsor, the introducer, the qualifier or someone else gets paid first before you even see a dime. This should be unacceptable to anybody thinking of taking part in these types of opportunities.
8. Cash Gifts to you should not only be in Federal Express envelopes or UPS envelopes but you should have the option of receiving cash by direct deposit transfers into your own bank account, Cashiers checks, Money orders, Paypal, Alertpay, Safepay or even  Google credit cards payments. This gives the business a solid air of legitimacy not only to you but also your cash leveraging business. Remember that if it's a gift under the regulated amount it doesn't matter how it comes in. Yes it's nice to receive cash but cash can be received in many forms.
9. Make sure that your sponsor assists you in getting started and answering any questions you may have. This is not to say that you should hound your sponsor to death since this person also has a business to run.

10.Try to find a cash gifting or Leveraging opportunity where the company gets none or very little of the cash gifting profits. Profits are different from an Admission fee or Web site hosting fees.

11.Try to find a cash gifting or Leveraging opportunity that has a Residual income component. This makes the cash-gifting program profitable for the long term. This is why the longevity of a program is essential. The longer the cash gifting opportunity has been in business the more residual income the participants are and will be getting.

12.Make sure that the cash gifting or Leveraging opportunity has training for all its new participants. This is essential because the more you know about the business the better you can market it. Your mantra should be "KNOW YOUR BUSINESS".

13.Make sure that there is NO Selling involved in the marketing of this activity.

14.Make sure that the cash gifting or Leveraging opportunity has a complete list of marketing lead generating sites for you to showcase your new opportunity and it should be a combination of free advertising sties and pay sites.  Free sites can be profitable but pay sites sometimes goes the extra mile to expose your business to a more select audience. If Real Estate's mantra is Location, Location, Location the mantra for a cash gifting or leveraging opportunity should be Marketing, Marketing, Marketing.

15.Keep in mind that if and when you take advantage of a cash gifting or Leveraging opportunity, hopefully a legal one, you never forget that it is a business and it should be treated as such. This means that cash gifting is not a free ride to wealth. You have to work the business to make it a success. Like my grand Dad use to say, "There are no free rides in this life".

Now that you have a mastery of what to look for in a Legal Cash Gifting or Leveraging, product based, home business, the question arises, where do I find this bad boy?
