People say they are and then don't follow through.How do you find the serious ones that aren't just curious? Is it really because of the fear of scams or is it that they think they aren't disciplined enough?

I understand the fear of being scammed because I was as well. But even though far and few between there are legitimate ones. I am actually doing very well with mine. It's just hard to get past others fears.

I have looked into hundreds of "work from home" sites. Everyone I have looked at, after careful research was found to be SCAMs

People claim to be afraid of scams, but I think they are really afraid of hard work.

Most, if not all of the scams, promise great rewards for little work. You just pay $X and the secrets will be revealed on how to earn $1000 a minute brushing your teeth!

Yeah, right.

There are tons of legitimate opportunities out there, some costing a start up fee, others free, where people join and .....do nothing. They find out real fast that it takes hard work, and time to make it on your own. Then they quit and move onto the next get rich quick scheme, all the while bemoaning their lot in life.

It takes TIME. Research opportunities that you are interested in. If you dont like selling DONT JOIN MLM OR DIRECT SALES! Find what YOU are interested in, not what someone is trying to sell you. Its possible, but you need to work at it, daily.

I think the fear of being scammed is certainly an issue. As is the fear factor of failing. And believe it or not the fear of friends and family that my laugh at them for the thought of getting into a get rich quick scheme. And no one likes to be the but of the joke.

The other issue, and you call it discipline, I call being lazy. That's right I said it LAZY. They want to make the money but don't want to do the work to get it. You know and they know who they are.

*This is not to put down the real hard workers out there, who are striving to reach their goals. To them I say keep going and don't stop.

i was going to work from home, and i signed up for one, but a month but it just to expensive to start this job. i had to pay for shipping 10 bucks, than if i decided to keep it i had to pay 30 buck more for nothing, the info the sent me was bullshit, it was an not much info you can read how to be on top, still didnt explained anything what you have to do, and one DVD with people who got rich, and you have no idea of what....
than someone called me and told me that i have to sell skin care products, its actually pretty good products, but what i figured out, you will make money not from selling skin care, you making money by brining people into this business, which is bullshit. so this lady called me a told me that i have to choose one of 2 plans, first one was 60 bucks and all you have to do it go door after door and sell those products. Not a good plan. And second one was 500 bucks, under this one you will get you own website so you can sell products from you computer, but the thing is, there are so many websites lite that, you will not be able to sell something from it at all. So I decided not to do anything from home. Not what was my point, my point is, when you see a possibility working from home but they not telling you up front what do you have to do and how much you will have to pay for all that to start making money, please do not waste your time. If you more questions about it call me at 512 287 1760

If you want to make money online and wanted to work from home, go for freelancing jobs. They are only one, that will pay you and its free to become a freelancer. The Internet has opened up many freelance opportunities, expanding markets and helping to build it into one of the largest economic segments for many economies. You dont need to pay to get the job. Development for freelancing has been especially high for software development, website design, information technology, and business documentation. Freelance practice varies greatly. Some require clients to sign written contractsbased on the perceived value of the results to the client. By custom, payment arrangements may be upfront, percentage upfront, or upon completion. For more complex projects, a contract may set a payment schedule based on milestones or outcomes.

Yes,people all over are looking. If you are in a good company ,then you have nothing to worry about,the ir 3rd party materials will do all of the work (selling) for you. If you are in a company that has a good product (& is unique)been in biz for a long time ,you shouldn't have any problem. That overcomes their fears. The proof is in the pudding LOL Good luck !

I was looking for work at home opportunities too. Based on my experience they are all scams and I would recommend you or anyone else to stop wasting time and money into these scams. Imagine if you could stay home and get rich, why would anyone go to work!!!

Have you thought of Affiliate marketing on the internet. It can be done part time from home. There's lots of courses out there and they're not that expensive and most have money back guarantee so no risk. I have used no 1 & 3 at www.cashflowmarketplace.com Both have money back guarantee so no risk.

I was going to start working at home I looked into several companies but you have to put money down or get other people involve to buy your products . I'm not good at that .
if it was a typing things or paper work maybe but when you have to sell and get people to buy your products .that's not for me.
