在家工作可月入五萬八千港元?

大家看到這個標題一定會想是真的嗎? 先別否定其真確性, 想一在什麼樣的工作可以賺取到這個收入. 我可以想到啲就是那些做創作的例如作家, 畫家或一些接到freelance的設計家等. 可以好肯定說, 這類人必須有特殊技能, 而且是運氣比較好啲一群. 莫說是留在家中工作, 就算要外出幹活的香港人, 又有多少人多少可以拿到這月薪呢?

好了, 回正題吧. 今天我如常看某個財經網站. 看到一個廣告, 廣告中人物為一位女士擁著一個小孩, 另外有字句寫著, 她留在家中工作就可以日賺250美元. 予人既感覺就是很幸福, 很輕鬆就能賺取生活費的聯想. 一向好奇的我當然很有興趣, 好想看一下如何可賺取這個報酬.

一按這個廣告, 就會進入一個叫 Career Journal Online, 這個網頁的風格好像是網上雜誌. 上面有Now logo的以新聞報導形式啲短片, 有一張USD8,795的支票相片. 還有我們香港人熟識的很有公信力的兩大傳媒機構蘋果及東方Logo. 當然還有缺少不了的好評如潮的用家評論. 真是 "Too good to be true"? 大家細心看一下:


Career Journal Online 只是一個簡單的網頁

1) 一個正常啲網站, 其首頁應該最有賣相. 但如果你在瀏覽器內真接輸入其主網頁 http://www.careerjournalonline.com/ , 你只會見到一個空白網頁.

 2) 如果你嘗試瀏覽其網頁內其他目錄, 它其會顯示一個網頁叫人去登記成為會員,以賺取可觀的報酬.

3)如果你用whois database 查詢  careerjournalonline.com 的擁有人, 對不 起, 他沒有公開. 只知他是從一間叫 Namecheap.com 的注册公司買回來的. 通常不肯公開身份啲人士, 就要格外小心. 因為如果你有任何損失, 真是無從追究.

連接至登記網頁

 當你要離開這個網頁時, 它會轉到一個登記網頁內. 死不斷氣. 你再要離開時, 又轉至另一個網頁上, 這次他會強調費用全免, 數量有限, 你有五分鐘時間保住個位, 個鐘仔重會一秒秒咁減少, 真係唔買就笨!



 用家評價一面倒

 所有評價都是正面的. 但是剛好到今天為止, 不再接受新評價.

 網頁內的免責字句

1) 一開始他己說明:”This site is not affiliated with any newspaper publication”. 如果閣下將這個網頁聯想到什麼雜誌, 傳媒. 對不起,  想錯方向了.

2) 最精景的還是最後的那個Terms and Condition, 為咗原汁原味, 還是把他全引出來:

"We are not affiliated in any way with CNN, WebTV, News Channel 6, ABC, NBC, CBS, U.S. News or FOX, and all such trademarks on this web site, whether registered or not, are the property of their respective owners. The authors of this web site are not sponsored by or affiliated with any of the third-party trade mark or third-party registered trade mark owners, and make no representations about them, their owners, their products or services

The term "advertorial" is a combination of "advertisement" and "editorial" written in an editorial format as an independent report, when in fact the advertisement may promote a particular product or interest. Advertorials take factual information and report it in an editorial format to allow the author, often a company marketing its products, to enhance or explain certain elements to maintain the reader's interest. A familiar example is an airline's in-flight magazines that provide an editorial reports about travel destinations to which the airline flies.

As an advertorial, this page receives compensation for clicks on or purchase of products featured on this site. This program is not a job but an educational opportunity that can help individuals learn how to earn money through their entrepreneurial efforts. Anyone who decides to buy any program about making money will not necessarily make money simply by purchasing the program. People who think "I bought these materials so I'm going to automatically make money" are wrong. As any type of education has so many variables, it is impossible to accurately state what you may expect to achieve, however, people who bought the program not only bought the program, but also undertook additional training and education, applied the principles to an area of the market that was growing, kept their commitments and continued to learn. If you do what the individuals depicted did, you may generally expect to achieve a great education in the area of your choice, but you should not expect to earn any specific amount of money. Typical users of the starter materials that don't enroll in coaching, don't keep their commitments and don't implement what they learn, generally make no money. Consistent with the advertorial concept, the comments posted in the comment section are also representative of typical comments and experiences which have been compiled into a comment format to illustrate a dialogue, however, the comments are not actual posts to this webpage and have been compiled or generated for illustrative purposes only."

咁多字大家可能冇乜心機看. 不過佢地都好好人, 將個重點畫咗底線. 即是佢地冇offer任何job比你, 佢地只係賣一教育機會比你去自己賺錢. 如果你有唔接受佢地既訓練, 唔保持承諾去行你由佢地所學到既, 你係賺唔到錢. 即是千祺唔好怨佢地,只係你做唔到佢既要求.

獨立第三者評論

在這個資訊發達既社會, 我地好易就找到一啲第三者既評論. 雖然這些第三者評論都不能盡信, 但起碼不會是一面倒. 整體來看會比較客觀. 如果你在Google內尋找"Career Journal Online" 你會找到相關資料. 如果加上"Scam"既關鍵字, 則可以找到更多啲負面評論. 留意負面評論不一定是偏激或虛假的陳述.

結論

常言道, 真係有咁大隻蛤蜊隨街跳? 人家比一百蚊你, 一定要係你身上拿到不少於一百蚊既回報. 呢個係商業社會既原則. 所以, 光棍佬早有家訓, 便宜莫貪. 呢個網站既Business Model, 就好似你比錢來點隻股票比你, 貼士錢就比咗, 但賺蝕就要看你自己. 你話誰人是真正贏家呢?

佢地既package係有分, starter materials....咁按理當然有intermediate, advanced, professional.....等等等. 咁究竟乜野既package才適合你? 咁就要看你對佢有幾大既信心同願意比幾多錢喇.

如果大家有耐性看到呢度, 可能有個疑問, 有人真係會比錢買佢既package? 答案係肯定, 如果唔係佢地邊有收入去係果個財經網站大賣廣告呢. 其實果個財經網站理應要做係挑選, 唔好只為廣告收入而忽略咗買廣告客戶既背景, 因為好多人都會因為網站既信譽去相信其廣告客戶既質素. 呢個就叫做企業良心. "君子好財, 取之有道"呀嗎!
