Would you like to work from your home on your own computer? I can show you how to go about working from your home doing Data Entry, Typing, Making Money on Ebay without selling on Ebay, Making money on Myspace, and much more. How would you like to be able to stay home with your children? What about being able to work from home and not have to answer to anyone. Any of the opportunities that I have on my site, you can do from your home and require nothing to start.
The Internet is filled with "Work at Home" business opportunities. Your local newspaper is plastered with advertisements for home business opportunities. You turn on your radio to hear another testimonial of how a person who was in debt became a multi-millionaire overnight. You watch TV late at night and see numerous opportunities about getting rich quickly.
The notion of working from home really starts to peek your interest. You have resisted starting your own home business for a variety of reasons, but you can no longer resist the incentive of easy money, especially when your stuck in traffic or your boss has you working on another mindless report, you think "Hey! It's time for me to find happiness and financial success through a Work at Home business! How do I start?"
The good news is that a home based business can be very lucrative. You can set your own hours which gives you the flexibility to spend time with your children. Plus, the profits are virtually limitless as long as you put forth the effort in a well informed manner. Jumping into a home based business can be the best life choice you have ever made. I know it was the best decision I ever made!
Home based businesses come in a variety of forms from stock investing to Internet marketing. You could create an online home based business built around what you are passionate about. This is where you need to be careful - while you are passionate about your business you need to be level headed about the way you go about starting your business. Why? The sad truth is that many of the "Work at Home" opportunities you see on the on the internet, TV, newspaper, and hear on the radio are scams. Scams that will take your MONEY!
As honest people, we expect other people to be honest and have our best interests at heart. This couldn't be farther from the truth for many of these programs. The fraudulent businesses prey upon our emotions and drain our bank account. I know people that have lost their precious savings because of poor judgment. Don't let this happen to you!
When I started a Work at Home business I decided that I was going to investigate several different programs and companies to root out the legitimate businesses (yes, there definitely are many legitimate businesses!) from the fraudulent ones. My findings shocked me, but I did find a solution. The solution has made me thousands of dollars in profits and has made me financially secure for the past 10 years.
My research included experimenting with hundreds of "Work at Home" programs. I made contact with opportunities through their websites. I scoured the Internet to find as many bizopps as possible. I pretended that I was interested in becoming part of their program. This didn't catch their attention right away so I tried a more extreme tactic. I explained that I was interested in actually buying their business entirely. Wow! Did that bring a reaction! Suddenly they were interested in talking to me and allowed me to review their website inside and out. (You could never get access like this just by joining their site.) This allowed me to investigate whether the opportunity was legitimate or a scam.
I was dismayed at the number of programs that had poor business models, out-dated information, broken links on their website, almost no customer support, and no chance of ever making a dime. If I had paid for this program I would have been devastated to find this lack of resources and definitely wouldn't be able to rake in the big money like they claimed.
The owners of these businesses didn't care that their programs were lacking because they already had your money. They had taken advantage of thousands of people just like us.
Here's the positive side: Not all "Work at Home" businesses are scams. Well, I've done the investigative work for you to find the BEST opportunities and I proudly present them on my website. These businesses are not only legitimate, but WILL be extremely profitable for you if you put forth the effort and time. I found this sources by contacting many happy clients that will attest to the benefits of the programs. Testimonials for these programs were not fabricated. They truly believe in the programs they have chosen.
I get a little discouraged at the negative press that claims a business is a scam if it costs money. If you think about it, this is a ridiculous statement. Who has ever succeeded in business without a monetary investment? The advantage to the above is that the monetary investment is small compared to most business start-up costs.
Know who you’re dealing with. The company may not be offering to employ you directly, only to sell you training and materials and to find customers for your work.
Don’t believe that you can make big profits easily. Operating a home-based business is just like any other business – it requires hard work, skill, good products or services, and time to make a profit.
Be cautious about emails offering work-at-home opportunities. Many unsolicited emails are fraudulent.
Get all the details before you pay. A legitimate company will be happy to give you information about exactly what you will be doing and for whom.
Find out if there is really a market for your work. Claims that there are customers for work such as medical billing and craft making may not be true. If the company says it has customers waiting, ask who they are and contact them to confirm. You can also ask likely customers in your area (such as doctors for medical billing services) if they actually employ people to do that work from home.
Get references for other people who are doing the work. Ask them if the company kept its promises.
Be aware of legal requirements. To do some types of work, such as medical billing, you may need a license or certificate. Check with your state attorney general’s office. Ask your local zoning board if there are any restrictions on operating a business from your home. Some types of work cannot be done at home under federal law. Look for the nearest U.S. Department of Labor in the government listings of your phone book.
Know the refund policy. If you have to buy equipment or supplies, ask whether and under what circumstances you can return them for a refund.
Beware of the old “envelope stuffing” scheme. In this classic scam, instead of getting materials to send out on behalf of a company, you get instructions to place an ad like the one you saw, asking people to send you money for information about working at home. This is an illegal pyramid scheme because there is no real product or service being offered. You won’t get rich, and you could be prosecuted for fraud.
Be wary of offers to send you an “advance” on your “pay.” Some con artists use this ploy to build trust and get money from your bank. They send you a check for part of your first month’s “pay.” You deposit it, and the bank tells you the check has cleared because the normal time has passed to be notified that checks have bounced. Then the crook contacts you to say that you were mistakenly paid the wrong amount or that you need to return a portion of the payment for some other reason. After you send the money back, the check that you deposited finally bounces because it turned out to be an elaborate fake. Now the crooks have your payment, and you’re left owing your bank the amount that you withdrew.
Do your own research about work-at-home opportunities. The “Work-At-Home Sourcebook” and other resources that may be available in your local library provide good advice and lists of legitimate companies that hire people to work for them at home. You may discover that these companies hire only local people and that there is nothing available in your area.
