Jobs...work from home... not a scam?

ok i really need a job.. i mean hubby has a job that pays everything just fine but i would like some extra cash.. so is there any jobs that are REAL i can do from home thats not a scam and i dont have to pay them money to work for them??

You're better off either starting your own business or getting a real job outside the home.

Otherwise, if mobility is an issue or you're raising very young children at home, you could consider having a small daycare.

yes they are out there it just depends on what it is that you want to do as for me i was in the same boat well wanted extra money part i mean and now it is all i do but you have to find what it is that you like and then do some research into it but yes you can do this

I work from home in my own business and I make great money. HOWEVER, it takes time and effort. It will not happen overnight. PLEASE don't believe all of the people out there that promise you big money for little or no work. It doesn't work that way.

I can't stress this enough - Be very careful when looking for a work from home company. There are a lot of scams out there. I teach people how to avoid these scams and what to look for in a home business.

We are having a freedom tour that is traveling to eastern US and Canada in 2008 and western US and Canada in 2009. This is focused on educating people about working from home. Visit http://WorkWithRoxanne.com for more details. You can get free seats.

Don't jump into anything without being educated on what to look for. Of course I think the company I work with is the best - we all think that. I think my husband is the best. That doesn't mean his type of person is right for everyone. Do your homework and find what works for YOU.

Good Luck to you.

I tried over 15 opportunities in the course of 2 years so I have some great information for you plus a list of 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 15 things I now work about 18-25 hours per week for a National Medical Healthcare 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 $4500 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

9. Medical Billing

8. Email/Rebate Processing

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

6. "Just pay for and take this class first” Then we’ll give or find you a job!

5. Typing At Home / Data Entry

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

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

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

1. Envelope Stuffing

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.

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. 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.

Good luck to you in your search. A

Great Question.. and as you may have already found out, there is just too many companies out there.

I too was looking for a way to supplement my income so after careful researching I decided to join a company called Global Domains International. Their website is really easy and most of the marketing is done for you. You can sell any domain to anyone that may need it, not only WS but all of the other ones.

The best thing about GDI was that I did not have to do any direct selling and the cost was almost nothing. I currently have some team members that reside in Australia, UK, India, All over the United States, all over South and Central America, so this business is truly global. There is a 7 day free trial period but then after that is just $10.00... 10.. not even enough to take a friend to the movies. Most sites will require you to have a credit card to join, GDI doesn't, they have partnered up with Paypal to provide and easier and safer process of their members payments.

At first I was skeptical but now I am just amazed on how easy it is, I am not promising you riches over night, but with some time and dedication anything is possible. Take a few minutes and take a look at our presentation, or anyone that is reading this... take a few minutes and listen to what we have to offer. You won't regret it.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.

Hope this helps!

Lots of people work at home and make decent money. Most of these do work at home that they formerly did in an office, often for the same employer - I know four people who do that. Others run their own businesses from home - I know two people who do that - one in website development, one in PR.

If you are asking about the "jobs" you find on the Internet, they're pretty much all scams, either looking for your signup fee or for your personal information so they can put you on a zillion advertising lists. You'll probably get answers here from people touting some website - look at how long they've been on Answers, and be especially aware of anyone who just signed up in the last day or two. If they just signed up today or yesterday, it's probably because Yahoo booted them off earlier for spam.
