Answer 2

I had tried several "work from home" systems, and I can personally tell you that most of them are a scam. If you want to make money, and improve your health you should try working with Herbalife. I started working with their products about 2 months ago and not only I've improved to a healthier lifestyle but I've made money by just helping people out. I get $700 checks every 15 days, which is not bad at all considering I've been working with the products for about 2 months. At the moment I'm an independent distributor supervisor, but I'm hoping I could get a higher position really soon. The higher the position the most money you get every 15 days. *You work for yourself *You can work from home *You decide how many hours a day you want to work. If you're interested you can contact me and I can explain it to you a little bit better. Good Luck!

The only way to make money is buy a desirable product the public needs at a low price and sell it for a profit.
Here is a suggestion:

Sell Micro-Fiber Towels.
Your target customers would be Home cleaners, Janitors, Churches wanting to do fundraisers, Car detail shops.
You could give away samples and then those customers end up buying over and over again..

Buy them in Bulk for less than $2.49 ea and resell for $5 or $6 ea
Or sell in packages of 2 per package and sell for $10...
(You can sell more for less effort this way.)

You could even create a free web-site at Yahoo to promote.
Free business cards on Vistaprint

You can buy as little as 5 cloths to try it out...very low start-up just to see if you will enjoy it. If not, use the 5 for yourself...they work great.

Answer 5

I have been making money at home on internet for 4 years and I was personally scammed by a good many making money methods.Finally,I found the most legitimate, effective and fast way for beginner to make money is doing paid surveys if you have a computer with Internet access and can sit at your computer for 1.5-3 hours per day.

But before joining a paid survey network, you should be sure that the paid survey company satisfies the following minimum requirements:
1. In business for at least 1 year.
2. Well organized, easy to navigate directories.
3. Directories updated at least weekly.
4. Helpful resources available for newcomers.
5. No "waiting period". Eligible immediately..
And more,more....

I understand it is difficult for a new online money maker to judge whether a paid survey site is good or not.So I found a survey club to help beginner make money on internet.You can visit http://www.**************** to find how to earn money easily and legally.Hope that help you.

Answer 6

Our local TV station did a segment on this. Their advice is if you have to pay to work for someone it is a scam. The only thing you should have to pay for when going to work for one of these work at home businesses may be a demo kit with samples, but a reputable company should provide you with that at no cost.

Answer 7

Any company that asks for advance payment or has a fee for providing work at home jobs is likely to be a scam. Check this out for data entry work from home jobs without any investment http://www.pcworkathome.net/dataentryjobs.html

Answer 8

I have tryed it but I didn't succeed. You always have to promote something and must have your own website. If it's a free one, you probably won't be able to do any advertising, so, this is the first thing you'll be asked to pay. Even if it sais that it's free and you subscribe, you'll always receive many e-mails with stuff to buy to make it work. I have chosen not to pay, so I don't know if it would have neen worked. What are you trying to do : spend money, or make money?

Answer 9

It depends, as long as you do your research you should be ok. Be careful with the ones that don't ask for anything, I found out the hard way and those gave me the bigger headache. Yahoo doesn't allow us to relay links but they do allow you to see our profile. Good luck! Jennifer
