Q: Can you tell me anthing about www.freelancehomewriters.com? Is it a legit business? Have you already evaluated and reviewed this site and I'm unaware of it. Any information you can provide, I would greatly appreciate it!

A: I don't know it other than from rumors (it doesn't have a great rep)…but I can tell you what I DON'T
like about - and it's a BIG thing I don't like…

It uses semi-hidden negative option marketing. On the page you pay $2.95 - to the left and "beneath the fold" (which you have to scroll down to see) are details that after 7 days you'll be paying $47/month unless you
cancel within the 7 days.

Now most people are just going to press the "Order" button and not scroll down and not realize that their card is going to be dinged for $47/month.

I checked at AbosoluteWrite which is one of the better freelance forums and here's the link to what they had to say:

Absolute Write Forum Discussion about FreelanceHomeWriters.com

They mention another site that's free and looks better called:

http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com

There's also a page I helped put together here
http://hubpages.com/hub/Make_Money_Writing_for_the_Web

Let me know if you need more on this.

WorkAtHomeTruth is proud to announce the first recipient of the newly created "F-+" award - SiteReviewAuthority - a review site that in our opinion is so bad no single letter of the alphabet could convey the appropriate distinction merited by the aggressively poor choices for making money at home and then boldly gives them the completely meaningless "SRA Seal of Approval", which after considerable research (15 seconds of blinking our eyes really fast and hitting ourselves in the head with a toy hammer) we've discovered to have the authoritative equivalent of a discarded wet noodle.

Background of the "F-+" awards' most distinguished honoree -Dr. Richard Andrew Stera , Chairman, SiteReviewAuthority.org

The F-+ award apparently isn't the first "first" for Dr. Richard Andrew Stera. Apparently the good doc received his Phd from a university located in "opposite world" where good is bad, bad is good, Fs are As, and As are Fs…well, you get the idea about the "good" doc.

In other words, if you are to get the most value of of SiteReviewAuthority.org you must view it through the eyes of a man steeped in the critical research methods of an "opposite-world" type university.

Another little known fact about the "good" doc is that his title of Chairman is often completely misunderstood - even the briefest research into his background reveals this quickly.

The truth about "Chairman"…

It turns out that Dr. Richard Andrew Stera isn't "Chairman" in the corporate sense, but more in the super-hero (remember…"opposite world" terminology) sense.

While it's possibly true that Dr. Richard Andrew Stera was bitten by a radioactive spider - legend has it that the bite had no prolonged effect. However, the bite did cause him to trip over an office chair which ultimately got embedded into his left knee.

Surgical removal of the chair being impractical, a special "melting procedure" was used to melt away the chair, which inexplicably got absorbed into Dr. Stera's blood stream and ultimately led to the manifestation of "ChairMan" - a superhero with the special powers of a chair!

Every since Little White eBook disappeared without notice, leaving many website owners dealing with frustrated an angry customers I just assumed that they had gone out of business. After all, I had tried to both email and call Little White eBook through their Little White eBook site and their parent company Capital Creative.

Strike 1 against Little White eBook

Another not-so-cool thing that several affiliates of Little White eBook have noticed that they've done is they came back into the game and are about to change their affiliate program, basically giving their affiliates the big "Rasberry-nose-thumbing gesture" for doing a lot of promotional work for them. As it stands their business partners are sending them traffic for free - many of them possibly unaware of it.

It will be interesting to see how they try to make amends for this serious affiliate faux-pas.

Strike 2 against Little White eBook

Now Little White eBook was a fairly high quality resource that served a specific purpose, but it's hard to recommend a company that operates the way this one has been doing business.

Will there be a Strike 3 against Little White eBook or will they somehow magically rebound erasing all of the frustration and some degree of lost of customer confidence many of us have suffered by their actions (obviously a customer isn't going to lose complete confidence over one incident such as this, but it definitely does NOT help).

Stay tuned.
