Especially in most underdeveloped and developing nations, there are still people who can't wrap their brains around the possibility of making money online. To them, making money in the digital space is a farce.

Let me explain this in a simple way.

Anywhere people are gathered is a market place.

Since people are gathered in an online space, you can offer your product and service to them and get real money in return. So making money online is not a scam.

Online business is definitely not scam as i have been able to make money online on so many occasions, but the truth of the matter is that while there are legit ways one can use in making money, there are still so many scam sites out there.

No, it is not true at all that there are scams on the internet and there are many but that is not why they are all scams there are countless sites that pay money for various tasks on the internet, there are scams everywhere and the internet was not going to be the exception

The truth is that there are a lot of businesses online which are fake and they try to cheat people. On the other hand, there are many businesses which are legit and they respect their members. We must do a very good search and find the good ones.

That's why someone would tell you that you should use online jobs only as a backup to offline jobs. For them, working online is synonymous to unemployment.

You're right. It's not just applicable to online. Even in real life, there are a lot of scam. We only have to be careful.

Yes of course! Research is paramount. But many offline business are also fake. The issue shouldn't be about online and offline, everyone should be careful and watchful before engaging in any venture.

Not all online businesses and earning schemes are scam. But unfortunately there are some that are. Many people have been prey to these scammers and that has led to such kind of belief. But then, be it online; or offline, scammers are everywhere. One just needs to be careful about them and take all precautions to not fall for such traps.

There are scammers everywhere. We only have to be careful. Instead shying away from doing business online, we should rather study well to know how things work on the online space.

That's well said. We can't escape from cons and scammers. But definitely can take all safety measures and precautions to stay safe. Well, there is a risk involved everywhere. So, despite falling for scams sometimes, we can still survive in online space. Many people have been scammed here in online space but they still continue with their online earnings. These can be a learning.

Sure! I haven't really been scammed on the internet, but I have lost money to wrong automations. But that was a learning phase for me.

I'm still here, and I wish to make it big here.

Yes. And when asked to explain what you're doing for a living, it's mostly difficult.

But there are people earning decent income with only their cell phone. I want to get there soon.

That's right, most people tend to assume the internet is the only place you can find scammers but there are actually a lot more offline as well. They would even go as far as renting an office just to scam you.

There are many legitimate online businesses as well as scammers out there. We have to be careful when choosing the right sites. For me, I seldom join a new site with no reviews and track records.

Business is business, be it is online or offline. However real work is always done offline. For example Selling online needs offline delivery, it doesn't make online as scam.

Not all online businesses are fraudulent. There are still many legitimate websites available these days. If you come across a new website, read the reviews or, better yet, look for payment proofs before joining.

There are genuine online businesses and there are scam too. People need to be knowledgeable about online businesses to protect themselves from scams. This includes understanding how to recognize fraudulent websites and offers, and having the ability to thoroughly research and verify a company before making a purchase or investment.

Not all online businesses might be a scam, but there are some of them that are certainly scams. For example, many Hyips are scams for sure.

It depends from the person, some person are scammer even in real life, you work for them and says I will pay you later then forget about paying your duties after devellopping him an apk or website.
