Circum News New Work at home job alert scam


I came across Circumnews when someone on my facebook page alerted me to it asking it if it was a good website to join to earn some extra money .  My scam alert often goes up when something sounds too easy it usually is. 


The company claims that they will pay you $2 to $5 for every written piece of news that you read. Really? That means you can earn   $100 just by reading twenty articles.. If it sounds too good to be true it usually is.  . This website looks very shady.

However, after checking out the website of Circumnews, I'm very disappointed. There are red flags everywhere. It just looks very unprofessional and spammy. In addition, several people said that they have gotten viruses yet. 


I did not sign up because at this point I think Circumnews is either a scam . I get it that news providers would pay people to read their content but the pay rate is just TOO much . If they're really paying that much then they'd be losing money. I'm not signing up with Circumnews until I see a substantial number of people getting paid by them.  People are claming they have earned money but no one has actually gotten paid 

Here is why I haven't signed up with them  
1. No address and contact details.
2. No privacy policy.
3. Bad-looking website with bad grammar.
4. They only pay via Paypal and Payza.
5. People reporting malware and viruses 

Stay away from Circumnews until they've proven themselves that they are legit.

How to find a legit work at home job without being scammed

Ellen Beige is in the market for a job.  Her online searches for job openings has brought her face to face with some very interesting offers to work from home and make big bucks.
"They're everywhere.  On Craigslist, in my email inbox, everywhere," Beige says.
She responded to one ad that promised she could make hundreds of dollars from home by processing invoices.
"We get calls on this every day, people who so desperately want to believe it's true.  In most cases, it is not," says Tom Bartholomy with the Charlotte chapter of the Better Business Bureau.
Bartholomy says there are two red flags to watch for when applying for work-at-home jobs.  First, beware of any company that asks you for money before you start work.  Whether it's for training, equipment or software. 
"It's supposed to be the other way around, they pay you, you don't pay them," Bartholomy cautions.
Second, watch out for unrealistic claims of the amount of money the company says you will make for a job which, in the "real world" would pay much less.
There are legitimate work at home jobs out there, which do afford you the opportunity to make a living from your living room.
Stephanie Broadnax works for four different clients providing customer service and technical support.  She left the nine-to-five job market for a work-at-home job so she could spend more time with her young children.  There was another positive side effect for her.
"I make double working from home than what I used to make," Broadnax says.
She was able to get into the work-at-home business through a friend who was already working from home.  Check out the companies that regular hire telecommuters to find some legit companies

Yuwanda Black will be sharing some freelance writing advice today!
I've been a freelance writer since 1993 and I've made so many mistakes I could literally write a book about them. Some mistakes can't be helped, but there are definitely those you don't have to make in order to learn the lesson.
Freelance Writers: Are You Making Any of These Mistakes?
Following are four of the most common mistakes I see many new (and a good number of experienced) freelance writers making.
I. Not Creating a Marketing Schedule: I've said this one gazillion and one times, but it bears repeating - marketing is the lifeblood of any business. And when you fail to do it - consistently - you put yourself in danger of living a feast-or-famine existence as a freelance writer.
Don't do this. You deserve better.
Just because you freelance does not mean that you have to have such an unstable income. Sure, it'll never be as consistent as having a 9-to-5 job, but when you fail to create - and stick to - a consistent marketing schedule, you exponentially increase your chances of not succeeding as a freelancer.
So make this a "must do" when you start your freelance writing business. Create a marketing schedule - preferably reaching out to a certain number of contacts every day. And, do it first thing in the morning.
This way, you'll get it out of the way - and you'll develop the habit of constantly keeping writing jobs and prospects in your pipeline. THIS is the way to practically guarantee that you'll stay busy as a freelancer.
II. Failing to Say No: This means not only to clients who want to low-ball you, but to friends, family, organizations that want you to volunteer and anyone else who takes for granted that just because you freelance, you're always "available."
As a freelance writer, I get up and "report to the office" every day - just like when I worked in corporate America. The only thing that's changed has been my uniform. Now I work in my bunny slippers and may not comb my hair until late afternoon (if at all).
To succeed as a freelancer, you must treat your career like a business -- and that means respecting your time. Sure you can set your own schedule and it can be re-arranged at will. But, trust me, you'll dramatically increase your chances of success if you stick to some kind of routine.
III. Undercharging: There is no one right or wrong freelance writing rate. In fact, they're all over the place; but I can tell you this, $3 for 500 words is definitely undercharging.
I tell all freelance writers to charge what you need to make a living, and the best way to figure this out is to get really intimate with your numbers (ie, your expenses). This includes self-employment taxes, which can be anywhere from 10 to 35 percent (or more) of your freelance income.
Learn more about freelance finances and taxes.
IV. Failing to Consistently Raise Rates: Many freelancers set their rates when they first start out, then may not revisit them for a few years - or longer.
Don't!
Like any business, your costs go up too, eg, your electric bill, cell phone charges, office supplies, etc. So just like when you were an employee, don't forget to give yourself "a raise" by increasing your rates regularly.
I raise rates at my SEO writing company every 18 months or so. In my experience, around the first of the year is a good time to do so, as well as during the summer, when things tend to be a bit slower.

You are going to make mistakes in your freelance writing career; we all do. But, the ones listed here don't have to be among them.

We are currently building a new website for a company which is the result of several mergers and acquisitions. This site will have all the standard information such as "about us," "contact info," "locations," .etc.

It will also have a comprehensive list of the services we provide, organized and nested in a way that makes sense. Here's an example of a tax firm that organizes their services well: 

The exact structure and organization of the outline isn't that important. What's important is that the outline is essentially a list of SEO keywords. Further, each bullet point goes to a page about the topic which is again inherently an SEO goldmine. (That's why wikipedia always comes up first in results, it's an outline full of keywords.)
