Answer 7

I have been working from home on part-time basis for Monavie.  I am a single mom and wanted to avoid scams and pyramids.  I have been approached with Monavie over a year ago and was hesitant to join because I was skeptical.  I took my time, did the research and talk to other people that were doing it.   I have been drinking MonaVie for about 5 months now and really like it.  I have decided to join the business side a few months ago.  I really enjoy it.  If you would like to learn more information, please feel free to take a look at http://www.thegreatproduct.com/rsmwellne... .  The site will give you info on all 19 fruits found in the juice, the company, there are a few short videos that you can watch.  If you would like to learn more about the business side, on the site please visit "The Opportunity" tab and use the password - freedom - to read about it.

I also have a group on Facebook that you are free to take a look at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=21... .

This is not for everyone, so take a look and see if it's for you or not.

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions.  You can contact me at [e-mail].

Answer 8

I tried over 18 home businesses in the course of 3 years so please forgive the length of this post but you will find it very informative. Learn from my mistakes! Also make sure to read all the way to the bottom because I have included a list of the top 10 work at home scams. I am a mother of two little girls who are actually tugging on my arm as I write this so I will try to be brief. Many people are looking for work from home companies. All the scams definitely create a big problem but also, there is a problem of people misunderstanding the difference between work from home "jobs" and work from home opportunities. There really are not work from home “jobs”. To get that you have to start working for a company in their offices first, then they MAY allow you to take the job home.

Most of the work from home opportunities that are legitimate offers are not an hourly pay type job. They are business opportunities that help you in starting your own business from your home. What you should do first is to decide if you are simply looking for an hourly rate type job or if you are looking for more of an opportunity for additional income such as what you would make in your own business being your own boss from home. Small home businesses have some small costs involved, less than $500 to start is reasonable and I would stay away from those wanting $1000-$5000. It doesn’t cost that much to start and run a home business so you shouldn’t pay it.

If you are coming across places that say free then I would RUN don’t walk the other way! They never are. I tried them many a times and 3 weeks later I had to buy this and 6 weeks later that. After 6 months these “free businesses” had cost me over $800 on average.

After trying 18 things I work about 18-25 hours per week for a National Medical Benefits Company. This is a nationally known and reputable home business which is what you need to make sure you are looking for. I have been with the company almost a year and a half now and I make over $3500 a month! In your first month, depending on how many hours you can work, I have seen people make anywhere from $500 to over $2500. And your income will increase each month because you get paid residual income as well.

The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit, life insurance and a benefits package most of which you get from day one. In addition, there are no products, no hard selling or pushing, no cold calling, no home parties and no telemarketing! That was VERY important to me. I absolutely love working with them and I can't believe I am making what I am making and in so few hours per week. The neat thing is there are other people on your team that you work with so you are never alone. You have great team support and you get to know the other people on your team pretty well.

I was a bit apprehensive at first because I know a lot of companies are not legit but this company is the number one National Medical Benefits Company in the US. They are a member of the US Chamber of Commerce, and the National Association of Dental Plans and the owner of the company actually sits on the board of The Consumer Health Alliance to which we are also members. Also they were featured in “The New York Times”, “Wall Street Journal” “Time Magazine” “American Medical Review” and even in the May 2008 issue of “Parents Magazine”. Even “60 Minutes” did a big special on this home based business.

Even more then all this is they are accepted at over 100,000 retailers nationwide. These are fortune 500 companies like Sears, Target, K-mart, Rite Aid, CVS, Wal-mart, Publix and more. These companies would never work with a company that was anything less than reputable.

TOP 10 WORK AT HOME SCAMS:

10. Craft Assembly

This scam encourages you to assemble toys, dolls, or other craft projects at home with the promise of high per-piece rates. All you have to do is pay a fee up-front for the starter kit... which includes instructions and parts. Sounds good? Well, once you finish assembling your first batch of crafts, you'll be told by the company that they "don't meet our specifications." No matter what you won’t get paid.

9. Medical Billing

In this scam, you pay $300-$900 for everything (supposedly) you need to start your own medical billing service at home. You're promised state-of-the-art medical billing software, as well as a list of potential clients in your area.

What you're not told is that most medical clinics process their own bills, or outsource the processing to firms, not individuals. Your software may not meet their specifications, and often the lists of "potential clients" are outdated or just plain wrong.

8. Email/Rebate Processing

This is a twist on the classic "envelope stuffing scam" (see #1 below). For a low price ($50?) you can become a "highly-paid" email processor working "from the comfort of your own home."

Now... what do you suppose an email processor does? If you have visions of forwarding or editing emails, forget it. What you get for your money are instructions on spamming the same ad you responded to in newsgroups and Web forums!

7. "A List of Companies Looking for Home workers!"

In this one, you pay a small fee for a list of companies looking for home workers just like you. The only problem is that the list is usually a generic list of companies, companies that don't take home workers, or companies that may have accepted home workers long, long ago.

6. "Just Call This 1-900 Number For More Information..."

Not much to say here. Don’t Call!

5. Typing At Home / Data Entry

Here's how it works: After sending the fee to the scammer for "more information," you receive a disk and printed information that tells you to place home typist ads and sell copies of the disk to the suckers who reply to you. Like #8, this scam tries to turn you into a scammer!

4. "Turn Your Computer Into a Money-Making Machine!"

Well, this one's at least half-true. To be completely true, it should read: "Turn your computer into a money-making machine... for scammers!"

This is much the same scam as #5, above. Once you pay your money, you'll be sent instructions on how to place ads and pull in suckers to "turn their computers into money-making machines."

3. Pyramid Schemes (this is NOT the same as Multi-Level Marketing MLM)

If you've heard of network marketing (like Amway, Mary Kay or Pampered Chef), then you know that there are legitimate MLM businesses based on agents selling products or services.

The problem arises when there is no legitimate product or service at all and it is all about finding new recruits and not only can you lose all your money, but you can be charged with fraud, too!

2. Chain Letters/Emails ("Make Money Fast")

They promise that all you have to do is send the email along plus some money by mail to the top names on the list, then add your name to the bottom... and one day you'll be a millionaire.

Actually, the only thing you might be one day is prosecuted for fraud. This is a classic pyramid scheme.

1. Envelope Stuffing

This is THE classic work-at-home scam. It's been around since the U.S. Depression of the 1920s and 1930s, and it's moved onto the Internet like a cockroach you just can't eliminate.

There are several variations, but here's a sample: Much like #5 and #4 above, you are promised to be paid $1-2 for every envelope you stuff. All you have to do is send money and you're guaranteed "up to 1,000 envelopes a week that you can stuff... with postage and address already affixed!"

When you send your money, you get a short manual with flyer templates you're supposed to put up around town, advertising yet another harebrained work-from-home scheme.

SO that’s the top 10.

Please beware of these scams. There are some legit home businesses out there so be careful. Look for companies in business over 10 years. Look for companies with a needed product or service, something you would be proud to represent. Look for companies that have a national reputation and are members of the US Chamber of Commerce.

Also, don't be hung up on the BBB either. Did you know, common misconception here, that the BBB is NOT a government regulated agency? That in fact, they are local independently owned franchises where anyone, who pays the right price, can be a member in “good standing”. This is true!

As for those of you who say…..”I want to work from home but I don’t want to have to pay for anything”. Well, that’s great! But it will never happen. Let’s be honest, there is no such thing as a free lunch. As we talked about above there is a difference between a job and a business. You should NEVER have to pay for a job….but again…chances of finding a home job are about 3%. At any rate, if it is a true honest home business you need to expect to pay….Mr. Walt Disney didn’t start the Disney empire “without paying for anything”. Neither did Mr. Sam Walton, owner of Wal-Mart.

Answer 9

You can trade your time for money and hope in the long run the money stocks up.

My wife is a stay at home mother and she has 2 part time jobs. One is helping me with my Ignite business by spreading the word about lowering people's electricity bill. The other is a real estate agent so when people move or don't have an agent she steps in.

Neither of these is very active but both in their own circles pay nicely. What I mean is there are times where she will work it and make enough to cover all the bills but her primary job is to take care of our kids. That's her "full time" job.

I basically have the combo hookup where someone is moving into a house without a sales agent she swoopes in and helps them with a 1 % kick back and also signs them up with a lower electricity/gas rate. We win 2x!

Find a segment of the market where you feel you can work it without having to leave your children too long. That's what we do and it works fine for us.

Answer 12

You must have posted this type question before. isn't it ridiculous the way some people answer. It can be really rude or some crazy "job/business opportunity" that you know they never tried because if they did they're an idiot! :) I posted the same thing before so i know how it is! Don't you wish everyone was just nicer and truthful!! Well unfortunately not everyone is. But you might get some good suggestions on here and that's where you find something that interests you and start doing your research. Real opportunities do exist, it may take some time and research to find the right one. Email me if you would like some info. I would be happy to help. Like I said, I have been there! :)

Answer 13

The work from home jobs that aren't scams actually require work on your part - and if you're in need of money soon then you're likely to be sorely disappointed in any of those as well. Most of the legit opportunities out there take time to build - so if someone makes an outrageous claim of income it probably isn't true ( and those that are true sure didn't make that kind of money when they first began ).

http://my-data-entry.blogspot.com/

Time & effort required - but do your own research on what is best for you, don't take the advice of myself and others as gospel from this type of public website.

http://working-from-home-ireland.blogspo...

I have other ideas that may help - one of them is an online opportunity but another is one that will require a little effort to market yourself - try some data entry for local businesses, many of them don't have the time to do it in-house and will gladly pay someone else to do it. Professionals are a good place to start, lawyers, doctors, chiropractors, etc - they need their "in-house" folks doing other things rather than busy work.

Answer 14

There are actually a wide variety of work at home jobs.  Don't expect pay like a doctor but they can be very easy and in some cases interesting.  We currently have a position open and please by all means feel free to contact us.  There is a screening process to make sure you are eligible but as long as you can use a computer and are internet savvy there shouldn't be a problem.

Answer 15

There is a lot of competition for work from home jobs. I got started using

online freelance sites, and ultimately built a business with clients that I

found through them.

http://www.scriptlance.com/ (Free - Best in my opinion)

http://www.gofreelance.com/ (Free - Good site)

http://online-jobs-success.blogspot.com/ (Excellent info)

http://www.elance.com/ (Biggest, but kind of expensive)

http://dataentry-jobsearch.blogspot.com/ (Excellent info)

The first link is mainly programming, but there are other jobs there as well.

You may have more luck with the second.

Answer 16

You should have a read of the articles on this website, it will help you with the searching and also how to avoid scams but you're unlikely to get the names of any genuine companies in the replies here as there is no shortage of people looking to do work at home and data entry jobs.

Answer 17

I know a lot of both men and women who work at home.  Some have part time jobs, some have full time jobs and some have their own businesses that they work from home.  What type of income are you looking at making?  Two ways you can work from home .  One is applying to a company in which you qualify for the positions for a home job.  I don't know what your qualifications are, what your experiences are, so I'm not sure where to refer you over to.  Here's an article that I read that's really good that has a couple places that are legitament businesses that you can apply for.

http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-gGICILgnc...

Another way is having your own home based business in an industry that you have interest in.  They give you an opportunity to make the same amount of money as a traditional business, without all the over head expenses and they cost a fraction of the amount.  Most cost under $500.

If this is the type of stay home job you are looking for, here's an article that gives a lot of information on home based businesses and several industries for you to look into.  http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-eqfAfFMlc...

Good luck!
