Google Cash Scam

December 4, 2008 By Paul (Founder, WorkAtHomeTruth) 251 Comments

7/25/2009 update: some people have started asking about a product called Blazing Keywords, so I’ve posted information about it from the BBB in the comments section in discussion that goes with this blog post.

5/13/2009 update about Google Cash – it looks like the original Google Cash may be trying to distance itself from the recent onslaught of Google Cash knockoffs. The original Google Cash now redirects to GCWorkAtHomeSystem.com instead of AffiliateJackPot.

Important 3/28/2009 update: A new product is calling itself Google Cash. That is NOT the Google Cash mentioned at WorkAtHomeTruth. The new product calling itself Google Cash:

IMPORTANT: The NEW product calling itself Google Cash  is promoted from a site called OnlineWizard.net and has a $1.99 “Instant Access Fee” and then will charge your credit card $49/month after 72 hours unless you follow the procedures outlined in their Terms and Conditions. I have NO idea what that product is. You can tell that it’s a different product because in the Terms of Service it’s called the Online Wizard Success Kit.

I think some websites may also be calling the NEW product Google Cash Kit. I’m not 100% sure about that yet.

The FOLLOWING is about the ORIGINAL Google Cash product reviewed HERE at WorkAtHomeTruth.

Is Google Cash a scam? Well, no. But something GoogleCash is doing now is quite scammy. They pulled MY testimonial from my review of Google Cash and posted it on their new sales letter. The took my testimonial COMPLETELY out of context. In fact if you read on you’ll see I don’t even recommend that you buy Google Cash anymore.

In fact what I say on the WorkAtHomeTruth site is that I do NOT recommend Chris Carpenter’s Google Cash to someone that is new to internet marketing. Instead of the Google Cash adwords method I suggest people click here to learn how to start with a method called Bootstrapping Your Business.

And if you DO want to learn Google Cash type methods I recommend you use Matt Levenhagen’s Campaign Blasts method instead.

I see that Google Cash is now falling back on the “magic money” claim that you can make money at the system by spending only a few hours a week which while might be somewhat true after you’ve studied and used such a system for a year or so. But about 1 in a MILLION people would be able to do that right off the bat at all. And almost always you DO need a website to be able to do that.

Plus they’re honing in on the dream of making money without a website. That’s certainly possible these days but now the Google Cash system is probably one of the WORST and hardest ways to go about it.

In fact, one of the easiest, newbie friendly ways to make money without a website now is the Kindle Profits Exposed system which leverages the traffic of the multi-billion dollar company Amazon.com.

So. Is Google Cash a scam? Well, no. But I do NOT recommend GoogleCash at ALL anymore and they are nowhere to even be found on our Top Ten Home Businesses list.

Note: In order to clear up the confusion about which Google Cash is reviewed at WorkAtHomeTruth, I’ve posted information below:

  • GoogleCashGenerator.info promotes something called Google Cash Kit and sends their visit to the Google Cash product at TheOnlineWizard site – which is NOT the Google Cash reviewed at WorkAtHomeTruth.

Also, the following products have NOTHING to do with the original Google Cash product from 2003/2004:

  • Easy GoogleCash
  • GoogleMoney – a.k.a. GoogleMoneySystem
  • Google FastCash
  • Google CashKit
  • Make GoogleCash
  • GoogleCash Starter Kit
  • GooglePayoutSystem
  • GoogleCash Center

Small Business Continues To Nominate Federal Rules In Need Of Review And Reform

November 26, 2008 By Paul (Founder, WorkAtHomeTruth) Leave a Comment

November 25, 2008 News Release from the Office of Advocacy

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Small businesses and their representatives are continuing to nominate federal rules in need of review and reform. Nominations for the 2009 Top 10 Rules for Review and Reform are being received from across the country and a variety of industries. They are in response to the Office of Advocacy’s Regulatory Review and Reform (r3) initiative.

Momentum is building for the second year of the r3 initiative Top 10,” said Shawne McGibbon, acting Chief Counsel for Advocacy. “With the success of last year’s Top 10, small business understands that making constructive suggestions for how to improve current rules can result in federal agency action.”

The 2008 Top 10 rules included several that have been reviewed and reformed during the year. For example, in October the EPA encouraged small business to recycle and reclaim their spent materials by reforming the “definition of solid waste.” By reviewing and reforming the definition, EPA is encouraging recycling rather than disposal of certain spent materials.

Moreover, Congress also recognizes the potential the r3 initiative has for unburdening small business in a time of economic uncertainty. In July, Chairman Charles Gonzalez (D-TX) of the Regulations, Healthcare, and Trade Subcommittee of the U.S. House Small Business Committee held an oversight hearing on “Regulatory Burdens on Small Firms: What Rules Need Reforms?” that examined the 2008 r3 Top 10 Rules for Review and Reform.

That hearing resulted in the introduction of the Home Office Tax Deduction Simplification and Improvement Act (H.R. 7074). The bill simplifies the home office deduction by introducing a standard deduction for small business owners. It is companion legislation to S. 3371, introduced earlier this year by Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME). Simplification of the home office deduction was one of the 2008 Top 10 nominations.

The Office of Advocacy of the U.S. Small Business Administration is still seeking nominations of federal rules in need of review and reform. Early next year, the Office of Advocacy will transmit the 2009 Top 10 rules nominated by small business owners, trade associations, to the appropriate federal agencies for review and reform.

Nominate regulations needing review and reform by visiting the Office of Advocacy r3 website at www.sba.gov/advo/r3, by sending an email to advocacy@sba.gov, or by calling Keith Holman at (202) 205-6533. Nominations are due by December 31, 2008.

EPA Reform Of SPCC Rule Benefits Small Business

November 21, 2008 By Paul (Founder, WorkAtHomeTruth) Leave a Comment

November 20, 2008 News Release from the SBA: Office of Advocacy

Revisions Streamline Requirements, Will Increase Overall Compliance

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Environmental Protection Agency’s recent actions reforming the Oil Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule contains provisions that will benefit small business. The Office of Advocacy of the U.S. Small Business Administration is encouraged that the EPA listened to small business and included those provisions in the reformed rule.

“Advocacy has worked for years with the EPA to get the SPCC rule right for small business,” said Shawne McGibbon, acting Chief Counsel for Advocacy. “EPA’s announcement of the current SPCC rule reform shows that they have listened to the concerns of small business and have acted to alleviate those concerns.”

The SPCC program is designed to prevent spills of oil into waterways, and to contain spills after they occur. Facilities subject to the program must develop spill prevention plans designed to prevent and minimize such discharges.

EPA’s amendments are designed to increase overall compliance by small firms while reducing the regulatory burden on facilities that handle small volumes of oil and have a history of no reportable discharge. For small facilities, EPA introduced a reporting template and other streamlined requirements. It also included a visual inspection option for small volume tanks.

EPA realized that its original rule put an unnecessary burden on firms that did not significantly contribute to the oil spill problem EPA was attempting to address. The revised rule takes up issues raised by Advocacy in a June 2004 comment letter and report, and contains many of the changes suggested by the Office of Advocacy in February 2006 comments to EPA.

The Office of Advocacy, the “small business watchdog” of the federal government, examines the role and status of small business in the economy and independently represents the views of small business to federal agencies, Congress, and the President. It is the source for small business statistics presented in user-friendly formats, and it funds research into small business issues.
