Work At Home -- Real or Not?

Is IT a SCAM or NOT??

If you are wondering, whether or not a

"Work At Home" opportunity

is legitimate or not....consider the following!

You Won't Get Rich Quick

Avoid those programs that guarantee wealth,

unbelievable financial success,

or offer to help you "get rich quick".

Stay clear of any listings that offer,

high income for part-time hours.

More often than not,

they will do none of the above.

Hang on to Your Money

Never send money!

Legitimate employers don't charge

to hire you

or to get you started.

And, don't send money for

work at home directories

or start-up kits.

(A few years back...when jobs in my area

were simply unavailable...I got taken in by a company

that ...for $40.00...

would send me a book of companies looking

for 'home workers'

complete with a description of what

each company was looking for.

I sent my $40.00...

got my book..

signed up with a 'cottage industry' company'

that paid for 'completed craft items'...

for (more money) they would

send the 'supplies' I would need to

do the crafts...

then..I complete the crafts...send them in...

and start 'raking in the profits'....IF the finished product

met their specs.)

It didn't take me long to discover that

my 'completed crafts' would NEVER meet their specifications...

(I felt pretty much like an idiot!)

'Work at Home' Jobs To Avoid

Assembly Jobs -

Learn from my example that,

you can't make lots of money assembling craft kits

or any other type of kits.

It's very possible to waste money on books and packages

to get you started though.

Data Entry Jobs -

You'll see listings for data entry jobs

all over the place.

Problem is, these are most often either

positions 'posting similar ads'

or a pitch trying to sell you a kit that will

"get you started".

Posting Ads -

You won't 'get paid' to post an

ad on bulletin boards or forums...

instead..

you have to 'sign people up'

in order to get

any compensation at all.

Stuffing Envelopes -

I signed up for this 'job'

back in the 60's!

Yep! It's been around, at least,

that long!

I remember I had to send some

postage stamps, then run the

same 'ad' that I answered, for people

to send me 'postage stamps'...

I never did figure out

what that was all about!

But...the 'stuffing envelopes' scam

is still

around...and to be avoided

at all costs!
