Yes, but check out the company. Look at Success From Home magazine. It features real, legit companies. Find out if the company is publicly traded. Also find something you would enjoy doing. Selling vitamins or beauty products may not be fun for you. My company deals with travel and I think it's fun. Whatever works for you. Be careful, but don't rule it out. You could be passing on a great income.

Typically with these questions, all you get is spam.

I can't say if all of these type jobs are scams or not, but it seems like every one I've tried ended up either wanting money up front (which legit jobs NEVER ask for) or they end up not paying for services rendered. **In fact, I got a check a month or so ago from one of the survey companies I tried a while back. Upon cashing it at the bank, it was linked to a FRAUD ALERT and they wouldn't cash the check!!!**

Proceed with caution with these jobs and if you don't want to do 9-5, consider other unique possibilities. Maybe you could clean houses (which can pay upwards of $60-$100 daily), offer child care at home, do lawn maintenance, or other jobs out of your home. My 16-year-old nephew even started a graphic design business out of his house and makes pretty decent money.

The great thing is these jobs pay cash up front and give you a flexible schedule. If you want to keep a traditional job and work these on the side, it's up to you!

Think outside the box and you'll make it happen! Good luck!

I work from home as a transcriptionist. The cash flow is strictly one-way: to me, not from me.

The requirements are pretty basic: good typing speed, broadband connection, and English as your first language. It's not legal or medical, so there's no special training required. I use the F keys to control the audio, so I didn't have to buy a foot pedal (although I could; they're only about $70)

If you're interested email me and I'll give you the URL. I have nothing to gain from this, I don't get a bonus. All I know is they're always looking for freelancers, and if you're qualified and interested you might like it.

The pay is NOT fantastic, but that works for me because I'm on disability and have a limit to how much I can earn in a month.

Outside of that, all I can say is NEVER pay for a job, or for information on a business proposal. If you're going to make a go of making an actual living online, your best bet is to find something unique you can offer online and market the living daylights out of it. The dot-com bubble burst years ago, so you really have to be original, but overhead is crazy low and if you're selling something digital (like an e-book) you don't even have to worry about shipping costs or supplies.

Want to get rich quick on the Internet? I've got some swampland in the Sahara I'd like to sell you.

Good luck.

There are a lot of ways to make money from home. And as you have been warned, there are a LOT of scams out there. To work from home you really have to be willing to work. Even the folks who have money rolling in have had to put in their time working. A couple of good ways is to have your own website which can sell a product (lots of ways to do that) or that makes money from affiliates or ads. The best source I have found for this is Site Build It - they walk you through step by step. What you pay for is the web hosting and near college degree worth of an education.
http://wahm.sitesell.com/8906.html IT's popular with work at home moms. Another resource is the work at home forum where you learn what works and what doesn't. Do a search on that one. Hope this helps!

My wife and I have a home based business where we provide people who dont have insurance like contractors, service industry employees, small business employees, college students, and sales people a card that provides them with significantly discounted rates on dental, medical, chiropractic,perscriptions, and optical care. They can use it at several big names stores, like Target, Sears, JC Penny's, Lens Crafters, etc. There is also a list of doctors, dentists, etc all over the country who honor the card. I think they have over 22,000 card holders so far and the business is legitimate and the company has agreements and is accredited to sell them. They have been in business for over 15 years and its really easy to do.

The investment is next to nothing. We started with a computer, internet, and a really cool lady who helps us when we need it.

The pay is awesome. The business almost runs itself. And most important, we dont have to be embarrassed around our friends doing it.

If you are interested, drop us an email and we can give your more info....but it really is easy!

Take care

Jason

Hi,

The answer to the question in most of my experiences i no. I have tried membership sites like that and they usualy dont work. because you keep paying a membership, and the content is usualy garbage. Now I havnt checke dout the site you listed but it sounds like a MLM scheeme which can work but you have to be a good seller.

I am a member of realdealsurveys.com and so far I'm pretty pleased with their membership is like 39 dollars to join and no monthly fees after that, I have been making about 40 dollars a day for the past month doing about 3 surveys a day its not bad.

I do not know if the jobs really work. I would assume, if they are outsourced jobs, then they do. I do, however knwo a lot of home businesses that work.

Anything where you have to pay to get information to work for someone is a scam. The only work from home busness that are real are the ones you make yourself.
