I need some extra cash, but I don't know how to go about doing this, plus how do I know if it's not just a scheme?

THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM. The site claims to pay you $2 or whatever amount for each envelope you fill. The truth is, you are buying a silly kit and selling it for $35. The company is assuming that a certain portion of the RANDOM people you send it to are going to buy the $35 product and average out to $2 per envelope. It's silly and wrong but if you're dead curious, go ahead and throw away your money. You have been warned.

It's a scam.
The most popular work legitimate at home profession right now is medical transcription. Try a couple of classes, or an online or correspondence course and see if it is something you might be interested in.
We tried it, and it wasn't for us, but I have a friend who makes good money and has done it for 20+ years.

98% of work from home jobs are scams!!!
Don't pay attention to the people on here who are trying to Scam you.
Work-at-Home ads/surveys/Mystery Shopper/stuffing envelopes/data entry/typing/get paid to read emails/view ads/assembling stuff usually don't pay off. Be especially wary of ads that promise huge annual salaries; they often require expensive upfront fees with no guarantee. You risk losing your money and wasting a lot of time and energy.

No it doesn't. Envelope stuffing is an old scam and it doesn't work. Read the article at the link below.

I have tried it out, so did a friend of mine. Basically, you have to pay the fee to join, then you will get a packet of info instructing you to then purchase a sheet of leads (which you will send ads to) The sheet ususally costs about 100 bucks. Only if they buy something from the envelopes you sent, will you get money. If this doesn't work, you have to prove to the comapny that it failed and then you will get your initial fee back, not the money you paid for the leads. So basically if you sign up you are throwing money down the toilet.
If you are interested in making money from home legitimately, there are many free opprotunites out there. One program I feel strongly about is Gangster Greed. I have the link to both of my blogs below if you would like to check them out.

In my experience they are not a good way to make money online. You would better off trying something like paid surveys or affiliate marketing. Take a look at clickbank.com and linkshare.com.

No, just one of several ways that didn't work for me. They want you to pay too much up front and make you wait too long for materials and don't pay like they say they do. Jennifer

NO WAY DOES THIS WORK FOR ANYONE!!!!!!!!!iT IS A RIPOFF WITH A CAPITAL "R".
PLEASE DON'T DO THIS - ALL YOU WILL HAVE DONE IS MAKE SOMEONE ELSE SOME MONEY- BUT YOU WILL END UP BEING BROKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In a way it is like paying rent to live in an apartment. The people who own the apaprtment are having the apartment paid for while you end up with nothing after paying all of that rent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
