Answer 4

Very good question!  My answer is a definite NO!  And the business I have now is ideal for stay at home moms, since there really is no need to travel except for occasional conventions.    I had to find out the hard way though,  and I am very picky about a company's ethics.  They really pound that in in law school--I am a licenced CA attorney -  presently not practicing, but focusing on my home business.  I feel very comfortable with everything and everyone involved in my current business, and many other factors make it an ideal match for me.

I have gone through approximately 8-10 opportunities to get to this piont, however. 4 were just fly by night /get rich quick scams.

I became a life and health insurance agent and worked with a well-known company I believe is legitimate, but couldn't stomach the questionable practices of several agents in my group.



Another well-known benefits provider also seemed squeaky clean, before I discovered some very big incidents of discrimination (possible us constitutional federal law violations).  

Next was a well known whole sale travel company offering very big commissions- but no residual income.   I finally decided there was too much product, paperwork and effort required of distributors as well as comsumers,  The final straws were 1)  lies about what the package actually included, (really unnecessary lies about very small potatoes features) and

2) high level executives in my upline just flat out taking bribes from people seeking to move up quickly.  

There were a few others as well-- I have been at it for 2 full years now, and finally feel at home.  All the while I have read more than 50  books- from classic treatises to e-books online -on The Law of attraction, wealth creation, network marketing, referral marketing, relationship marketing, traditional cut throat business models, zen-like good karma seeking positive thinking mind over matter approaches; christian style in-your-face guilt inducing motivational work-shop intensives; MLMs,  the classics- think and grow rich; how to win friends and influence people, and the modern philosophies of finantial strategizing such as  Kiosaki's Rich Dad Poor dad; The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson (Is GREAT)- providing the 10 core commitments necessary for success in ALL aspects of life....and on and on...

I am a student of Dani Johnson, her material, and her seminars, a well as of Loral Langemeier's books and seminars, she is Exellent! and she approves of, use, and recommends my particular business!  That is what finally allowed me to relax about this one--as well as confirming my own intuition.  Langemeier is incredibly bright, extremely successful and well respected. Mainly, she just has extremely high standards and enormous integrity.

I didn't think I would be having to go through all of this to have success in a home business, but apparently I did!  Needed to learn all of this first hand for it to sink in.  I don't feel like a failure though, since, as you will likely discover, most people go through 7-10 or so companies or opportunities, before they finally "make it."  

I hope this helps- I'd be happy to give you more details on the companies and the titles/author of many, many great books--several of which are absolutely indispensable.  Please feel free to email me or give me a call anytime.

Good Luck!

Answer 5

I have tried many and am happy with what I am doing now (Ebay powerseller), (Melaleuca). I highly reccommend before you actually join anything, google the business. Also ask to speak with their "upline" if there is one. Read the reviews, do your homework, and check all the claims they are making out, and then once you feel comfortable proceed. There are many companies who like to exaggerate the truth. If you need help feel free to email me at [e-mail].

Answer 6

Someone recently asked: “What happens to people charged with forgery thats been scammed over the internet? I was working over the internet and thought I had a great at home job but was scammed and got blamed for it”.

This may not be the best answer, but it would keep you out of trouble! I advise the workers and victims to help law enforcement agencies to trace the criminals. This quite serious criminal matter. You may have to repay what you earned from the scam, and face up to ten years in prison. Is that worth it? Let this be a lesson to all other data entry or home workers and their recruiters on the Internet. More than 98% of the work from home plans failed to generate less than US $100 income. That will not make you rich. Internet fraud remains a growth industry for criminals. There were nearly 12 million phishing emails sent every day, trying to fool computer users into handing over sensitive personal information. Try to stay away from online scams and frauds. Email tyneham to help expose the criminals and fraudsters.

Answer 7

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.

You need a partner which is a Web host.

One that will supply you with all the tools and help you need. You need to find a niche that you like it's easier to start A business when you like what you're selling you have to have commitment and patients.  

I spent four years trying to figure out how to started Internet business I went through all the hoopla sites that said will have you up and running in 24 hours and affiliate programs were they made money you did work .

Most Web hosts are interested in big business not the little guys.

But I found one that's totally dedicated to helping you succeed. Things I like about them best.

Is they furnish you with the templates to build your pages step-by-step videos with instructions so you're learning as you're working.

They furnish you with keywords you will need. They submit your pages automatically to the major search engines. Their support is great to.

They even have forms were people ask an answer questions. they're definitely worth looking into the definitely changed my life. I'm still building my web site. but making money doing It. That's the best part.

would really impressed me was they furnished everything and there were no hidden costs and I didn't have to know any HTML. They also have 100 percent money back guarantee. I was such a skeptic when I started with them that after three weeks I returned program for my money back.

Not because I wasn't happy with it. I just want to test their warranty.and I got the refund check & signed backup with them. They were the real deal.

The web site is http://passion.sitesell.com/Don61.html

I hope this helps you out. in sure helped me out.

Answer 12

I've been doing some work with www.elance.com the past week, all the work is home based, data entry, transcription etc. The only thing is you're competing against people from countries where the hourly rate of pay is a lot lower, so not sure if it would be worth it for you.

Also have a look at the jobs listed here, most are applicable to us,canada,europe, its quite good, thats where I found the above link.

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

Its been updated today to include some Craft type jobs which can be done from home, mainly re-distribution, but it possible to make good money from it if you work hard.

So many online jobs are out there. In fact, to do any online job, you need not want to invest anything. Make sure, you dont pay anything to get jobs online. It is just that need to pick the one that suits you the best. I hope this helps you and I believe you will find the online job that you love the most. Thanks
