Because of the newness of the whole Drone Industry, there are sites popping up claiming to send you all kinds of paid drone piloting jobs.  BEWARE OF SITES THAT ARE ASKING FOR MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP FEES.  Only sign up for sites that you only pay a fee, or they take a cut, if you actually get a real lead/job!

What these sites are doing are making professional looking sites, asking for a monthly fee which in turn makes you look like a bigger company than you are and getting you all kinds of exposure for jobs, but with no money back guarantee that you will get one single job.  They take the membership fees and reinvest it into Internet advertising to try and snag other unsuspecting pilots to at least get two or three months of fees out of them before they realize it was a dead end.

Don't believe me?  Just search Google for: drone pilots

https://www.google.com/search?q=drone+pilots

And you'll likely to find at least one ad for them depending on where you are in the world.

If you have any questions about a drone money making site, Im sure you can come in here and someone will be able to let you know if its good or bad.

There's always someone trying take advantage of your hard earned money.
Thanks for sharing the information hope it helps someone.

Like Drone Base? I am licensed and did not take an assignment that required a waiver.They found someone else an I have never heard from them again. Don't really care.

Just out of curiosity why didn't you take the job?

I am Licensed and the job was in Class D Airspace which requires a waiver. I would have done it once I obtained a waiver. They didn't want to wait and gave it to someone else, non licensed I would assume because the aerial shots were up on the Realtors website a few days later.

Thanks for the warning!

Yes, thanks.

The "non licensed" person must have done it for free then right?
