Legitimate Online Businesses - Discover Lucrative Legitimate Work at Home Opportunities
By Elisabeth Kuhn
Often, legitimate online businesses sound just too good to be true. Maybe you've fallen for some that weren't for real. But if you take a closer look, you'll find that even though sometimes they're scams, there are plenty of others that are perfectly legitimate and can help you earn a solid income. Here's how to sort through the options and find the real deal.
First of all, if you are promised thousands of dollars for hardly any work, especially right away, it's probably a scam. I'm terribly sorry to break that disappointing news to you.
On the other hands, there are hundreds of thousands of people doing legitimate online work from home and making a solid income. So why not join them.
You know all the perks of working from home... No commute. No dress for success requirements... You get to work in your jammies if you want to! And almost no overhead. Depending on what you do, you also get to make your own hours.
And legitimate online businesses allow you to work from anywhere -- so why not travel to the place of your dreams -- while still continuing to work. After all, legitimate work at home opportunities can be run from anywhere where you have access to the internet! Work at home simply means that you won't have to go to any particular specific place of work. Work from your local Starbucks, or from one in San Francisco, Honolulu, Palm Springs, or anywhere.
There's even more... Some of the better types of online work offer an ever increasing pay-out, so you can actually make a considerable amount of money -- eventually -- while working fewer and fewer hours.
But first you need to work.
So how can you get paid to work online? Stop looking at get rich quick ebooks and opportunities and look around for examples of people who make money by producing real value for others. Then follow their lead.
What kinds of work can you do? Pick something you enjoy. You'll be doing a lot of it once it takes off. Basically, there are three major types of legitimate online businesses:
1) You provide products (virtual or otherwise)
2) You provide services
3) You promote other people's products (or sometimes services)
Often, these categories intersect.
Examples of products
Information products, programs, themes, ring tones, applications, and graphic designs, and, well, physical products.
Example of services
Ghostwriting, copywriting, editing, proofreading, transcription, design, and virtual assistant services to give you some examples. And it's the services that sell especially well and that can be a recipe for building a legitimate income quickly.
How do you find clients?
That can be a bit challenging, but if your services are good and you're willing to start for a modest amount of pay, you won't have trouble finding clients. Once you have collected a few happy clients who are willing to give you testimonials, you can raise your prices and most of your customers will be glad to pay them. And the next thing you know is that you'll have joined the ever growing ranks of thriving legitimate home based businesses.
Check out BBB online and type in the business name. If they are registered with the BBB then they will have a report on them. If not, then if anyone has complained about them and reported to the BBB there will be some sort of report on them whether they are registered or not.
I went ahead and checked it out and came up with nothing so there has been no complaints but on the flip side of this I checked out the sites page rank and it’s at 0 so the site has not been around for long at all. Also he must have just registered for the online safe web deal because there are only question marks at the edge of the meta tags before you enter the site and that means there is no info on it as far as a safe site to enter which also says it may have just started up so watch yourself.
Plato was against art, do you agree with him? Why or why not? (5 points)?
Here’s what I understood from Plato’s Republic about his views on art:
Plato was against art because:
1) Art is an imitation
Plato believed in two worlds: the physical world (the world we live in) and the world of Forms (a world beyond ours)
The physical world is not the real world because we use our senses to understand it which can give us false information about the truth
The world of Forms is the real world and holds the truth about everything The forms in the world of forms are perfect
Therefore, the physical world is a poor copy of the world of Forms
Plato believed that art imitates physical things (painting of a table imitates the table The table is the physical thing) Physical things imitate the Forms (the table imitates the form of the table The form of the table is the most perfect table)
So art is a copy of a copy which is even further away from truth and towards illusion
2) Art is powerful, therefore it is dangerous
Plato believed that art can affect people’s emotions Art can influence their behavior and even their character As mentioned, art is a copy of the truth, which can give people false information about the truth. (A person who reads about an ad on a magazine, the ad is not honest because it wants to sell The person would buy the product that was on the add and later on discover that the product is not working)
Do you agree with his theories and what is YOUR worldview about art?
Two points, first, The Republic was offered as a basis for discussion and an exploration of general principles not as blueprint to be followed exactly, if you study his work overall Plato offered guidance in the training of the mind, his concern was that his students be able reason accurately and for themselves, he was not telling people what to think, he’d probably have been horrified at the idea. Second, Plato was addressing the art of Greece in his own day, not of art in general world wide, there is nothing to suggest that he wouldn’t have approved, even enjoyed, art that reflected the world in a way that he saw as truthful. Given that anything of power can be used for good or ill it is a valid interpretation of his work that art, being powerful, should be used for the good of society in the same way as might be a military under other circumstances.
