When I cam across legit online jobs, my first impression was one of suspicion and caution.
Once you see these sorts of sites regularly, you start to see warning signs flash out at you right away.
But are appearances deceiving… Is legitonlinejobs.com in fact legit? Or a scam? Stick with me while I check this site out.
Product: Legit Online Jobs
Price: $34.95, (at time of writing
Overall Score: Not recommended.
Well, straight away on the sales page there is a classic suspect earnings claim and the old classic tale that so many of us can relate to…
Such as; the tale of how an “unemployed dad,” (oooh unemployed parent: classic) went from earning zero to over 9k per month,“working online.”
Obviously, this sort of tale with tug on may peoples heart strings that are in the same position…
Those who suddenly find themselves unemployed and are desperate to support their family.
Well, wouldn’t you just love to know how?
Apparently after struggling to make money online, he came across this amazing program – and hasn’t looked back.
Making Money Is Easy – Posting Ads?
So,the idea behind this program is that companies are desperate for you to post Ads for them and will pay you to do it.
This is pretty much all they tell you about this program on the sales page.
For a good reason.
Well, for starters this isn’t just an “easy” thing that takes no effort or time but most importantly, it costs MONEY to post ads.
They make it sound like you can just go about advertising companies for free and get paid a packet for doing so – that is not the case.
Once you sign up, you’ll also be hounded by a sales rep who will try and get you to spend thousands on the additional training you apparently need to actually do this stuff in the first place.
Paid advertising – With No Experience?
If you have no experience creating online Ads successfully and getting high conversions from your Ads, then it’s not the sort of thing you want to jump in and do with your eyes closed.
Legit jobs at home want you to feel this is easy and no skill involved, just so that you sign up with them.
However, you will then discover that this is far from the case.
You don’t just post an Ad and get paid, you’ll only get paid if that Ad is then clicked on, so you need to do your research.
Ideally, you will already have a solid knowledge of affiliate marketing and internet marketing in general before you jump feet first into paid advertising with zero experience online.

Why Do So Many Fail To Make Money Online?
One reason so many fail making money online, is that they sign up to programs that promise to make you a lot of money quickly, but which miss out many important steps and vital information.
This leaves people frustrated and overloaded with information that they may not understand how to use – and with techniques that they just don’t have the know-how to put into practice.
On many occasions, people will leave the internet with considerably less money than they started with and may consider that all this “internet marketing stuff,” is a scam.
Internet Marketing is Not a Scam.
But there are a lot of scammers involved.
By a lot I mean, thousands and thousands more scams out there than anything legitimate!
And as well as the outright scams, there are the thousands of borderline scams and poor quality products.
Many are not even necessarily complete “scammers,” as such – often create sloppy half baked courses, that miss out a lot of vital information.
Additionally, it’s common that lower value programs are created as a hook, to pull people in and then sell them higher priced items and additional upsells, (that never seem to end).
So, they’re intentionally created something that will not tell the whole story – but miss out aspects that leave you feeling lost and needing more information.
It will appear that there is always an ulterior motive, or upsell around the corner. For the most part, there is.
Marketers should focus on creating value at every step – but sadly, this is rarely the case when it comes to the make money online industry.
Special bonuses.
They also try and add some special bonuses to hook you in – one caught my eye.
“make money taking surveys,” – with them claiming that taking online surveys is a revolutionary way to make money online.
This is just pure garbage.
If you’ve read any of my reviews on survey sites, you’ll see that it’s an extremely ineffective way to make money online…
There are also a tonne of survey site related scams!
You certainly won’t be making a packet of cash by being involved with survey sites.
You can make the odd pocket change here and there at BEST- if you really want to spend time with it.

So… is legitonlinejobs.com a scam, or not?
Many people would be very happy to brand this program a total scam, (and they have done too).
At best, I would say that I believe this is a highly misleading program and I would not recommend it whatsoever.

Nat,
Thank you for posting this well-informed review. I had received such an offer via an email list I’m on, and it did sound good. I thought, “Okay, they just have you sign up? Come on, I’m supposed to sign up BEFORE they toss a price at me? Get real!”
I’ve opted in for free ebooks and MP3s, and I know that opting-in for at-home online work does take money, so I always have to ask “how much” before I jump in. The fact that LegitJobsOnline does not tell you at the outset how much you have to invest was a bit of an alarm bell, so I went looking for reviews. I have yet to read others, just for the heck of it, but your review resonated with my first instincts.
Oh, and thanks for linking to your posts about affiliate marketing and internet marketing. I feel like I’ve found a valuable resource in your blog, so I’m sticking with it.
Thanks,
Kat ^.^

Hey Kat,
Thank you so much for taking the time out to comment here. I’m surprised this program is still live frankly, I thought they’d have closed up and moved on by now. Then again, so many of these things can run for years and years, even in the face of terrible reviews and so on – somehow, people still sign up. Anyway, I’m pleased you found some of the information useful – I’m not sure in what way you’re looking to make money online. But if you’re interested in affiliate marketing, you may also be interested to read this more recent post. Cheers again for stopping by Kat! I hope you find what you’re looking for. All the best.
