As many of you know by now, Twitter can be helpful in terms of expanding your home business, networking and even finding work. However, it is important to be on your guard. According to Work From Home Blog, there are new scams based around making money using your Twitter account. Watch out for these — especially if it is “easy money.” It is also worth noting that Amazon has announced to its affiliates that it will not pay commissions on sales that come from Twitter.
The bottom line is that you have to be on the alert for scams, especially when you work from home. While there are many opportunities to earn money online, there are also a large number scams and shady opportunities that can result in financial devastation. While you can use Twitter to make new contacts and market your home business, you should always be vigilant for signs of scams.
