  1. I'm not sure if this is the same place as what I looked into, but here's what I found when I did some reading on this awhile ago for a friend on the Angela Penbrook rebate deal and immidiatly spoted a flaw in her story.  This is what raised my eyebrow at her "story".  She said she was laid off her job

    and went into details of it, the trauma etc.  Then later in her story ran into a man somwhere and he showed her this work opportunity.  Went on how she started and within five months claims that she was able to quit her job working 1-5 hours a day.

    The first thing that raised my eyebrow is the fact that you "try it for three months" then you pay? This isn't a job!  A job you get a w2. If you were to own your own business through a company then you'd receive a 1099.  Misleading information here.  What puzzled me also is her saying she lost her job and didn't know how she was going to pay rent, food and for her daughters birthday.  Then to say in another story that she was able to quit her job. Two conflicting stories.The point I'm making is you don't know this person your reading about, go through their story with a fine tooth comb, per say.  The story doesn't match up.  Also here's a check list of things you want to search before getting involved in a company.   Things I tell people that can really help in making sure a company is one to be involved in.

    1. Is this a job or a business?  If it's a job, there should be no start up costs, or fees or anything.  You should be paid hourly or salary.  If it's a business your starting, within a business your getting involved in, there would be a start up fee.  What do these fee's cover?  billing for my customers, Inventory, Customer services, Order Entry, Employees, workman's comp, Cross referencing, Licensing, Insurance, paperwork, accounts payables, accounts receivables drop shipping etc.

    2. Is this company registered with the BBB?

    3. Who is involved with the company?

    4. Have they been featured in different magazines?

    5. How long have they been in business?  If it's under 5 years your taking a risk.  Did they make the Inc 500 rating in their first five years?

    6. Do they have a physical address that you can go to? Check for an address not just a P.O. Box

    7. Where are their headquarters?

    8. How does the business work?  How do you make money? etc.

    So many different things to make sure the company your getting involved in is straight.  If it's a job, you don't pay.  If your partnering up as a business for yourself, then you do.

    Here's a blog that I came across that has several different industries that would give you the opportunity to work from home.  It may help you find something like it did me.

    I hope this helps


  2. Usually these types of jobs are scams.  If anything asks for money upfront before you are hired, then it is a scam.  One of the most popular topics in forums today is the opportunity to work from home.  I have been researching this for a while now.  I enjoy making money online through eHow and other paid posting sites, but that is only a supplemental income for me.  For those who are looking to find a steady work-at-home job, I have compiled a list of resources to get you started.  Be careful of scams out there.  I have not fully researched all of these opportunities, but they seem reputable.  Make sure you never pay a fee to apply for online work.

  5. I have tried so many of these work at home opportunities (and tons of money out the window).  

    The bad news is that there are many, many companies out there that are complete scams eagerly waiting to get your money.  The good news is that there are home based businesses out there that are genuinely legitimate.

    There are two ways to work at home:

    1 - A work at home job - these are usually hard to get and pay very little.  You are still working for someone else and will only make what they want you to make.  It is a job so there will be no up front costs.

    2.  A home based business.  If you can find the right one, you will reap the rewards forever.  This is your business just like a brick and mortar business but at a fraction of the cost.  You will usually have to pay an upfront costs ($10-$500).  There is usually a monthly fee to cover websites or other company overhead.  Which is very minimal compared to if you were to have a brick and mortar business (electric, sewer, inventory, etc.).  There are no limits to the amount of money that you can make and the business is usually willable and sellable!

    After trying and trying I finally decided on Answer #2.  It seems like I made a career out of failing at home based businesses before I found the right one.  I enjoy helping people make informed decisions about working at home.

    I have been very successful at working at home for several years now.  It is something that you have to put your mind to and be determined to succeed not matter what.  There are many naysayers and negative people out there.  You just have to put the blinders on and go full speed ahead with whatever you choose to do.

    Feel free to email me and we can discuss this further (I promise I won't try to sell you anything : )
