Are online jobs the next big thing? For Mary Steadman it sure is. Mary, a mother from San Jose, CA is thriving, in the middle of an economic recession working in the comfort of her own home.

From her website: "I get paid about $25 for every link I post on Google and I get paid every week... I make around $5500 a month right now"

Mary's story is a very familiar one in these tough times. She lost her job as an account rep for a manufacturing company and a few days later her husband also was laid off from his job as part of cutbacks due to the bad economy.

"We knew we had to do something, so we put our heads together and started trying online job opporuntities." Mary and her husband Kevin wound up getting caught up in a few quick rich business opportunities that were nothing more than pyramid schemes before finding something that really worked.

"I realized the best thing to do is instead of hoping that a company that you are looking at is going last, why not go with a big, reputable company. After looking at several different companies, I picked the safest bet... Google."

Online giant Google is a publicly traded company and is worth an estimated $100 Billion (with a b). The company has pioneered online search and has changed the way we use the internet.

In a matter of weeks Mary and Kevin had a steady stream of income coming in via checks that were delivered to their home. They happened upon a system called "Easy Google Profit" that taught them how to make money posting links online.

Easy Google Profitis a free course that can teach anyone, regardless of computer skill level to start making money online. It's available for free at EasyGoogleProfit.com.
"We were doing pretty good and then we discovered the real trick to making money. We combined "Easy Google Profit" with another free course called "My Internet Payday" that's where we really learned the extra tricks so instead of making a couple of hundred bucks here and there we started maximizing the amount we made."

For those of you that have seen the 'scammy' sites on the internet that promise you can make millions of dollars online Mary warns that this is not the promise being made here and that most of those sites are false representations of earnings you can make.

"We never tell anyone they'll make millions of dollars, in fact I think this is the ONLY online system that says you probably WON'T make millions, but you can generate a legitimate income from home like I do that replaced my full time job."

Getting started is simple. Following these simple steps below is all you need to do to get started.

Step 1: GetEasy Google Profit, only pay the $1.00 for shipping.

Step 2: Also getMy Internet Payday. This is key. I think you pay $1.95 for shipping or something. to post. Start posting those links. Google tracks everything.

Step 3: Follow the directions on Easy Google Profit that basically shows you how to and set up a Google account. You need them both. Then they will give you the website links to post. Start posting those links. Google tracks everything.

I think it is too good to be true and plus you don't know if there is any taxes Uncle Sam will ask you to pay.

scam.

if you read the fine print (or non-print in some cases) they have absolutely NO affiliation with Google, the $1.95 gets you an information CD and THEN you are charged $39.95/month on your credit card (good luck canceling those charges) and what do you get?

...some basic instructions for paid-per-click advertising - you sign up with Clickbank and other affiliate programs and then pay to advertise various companies through google adwords or overture and then you make money whenever someone clicks one of your ads and makes a profit.

This is all stuff that you can learn for free and you really need to have an extensive knowledge of keyword bidding and search engines in order to make a little money.

I got offered a job like that once, and something about the whole thing didnt feel right. I suspect this is a scam.

The only reason I posted this and thought it might be true, is because it was the lead story last night on yahoo news. Usually the scams come in emails, and rarely, if ever make yahoo news, which for the most part is pretty reliable. Thanks for the comments though. I wasn't thinking about joining though, I was just curious to see what you all thought since it came from such a reliable source such as yahoo news.

Oh its a complete scam... The offer the cd for $1.99 but then they start chargin your credit card monthly for like $70 and its hard to get them to stop. Read this article on easy google profits (http://www.reviewopedia.com/easy-google-profit.htm) if you want to see what its all about and there are dozens upon dozens of customer reviews in case youre not convinced. They also have the the phone numbers you can call to cancel if you did fall for it b/c they make it really hard to cancel.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
