Working from home ..

Does anyone know much about those work from home, online sites that promise you to make a decent income. I am slightly curious but with some many scams out there I am wondering if any of they are actually legit?

Has anyone had experience with them?

They are scams. No matter how many flashy colored banners they put up as an advertisement, how many bucks they claim you can make they are scams. Outright lies. They want you to invest money into them with the promise you will make more, that is where they scam you or simply take all of your personal information. Even visiting the websites are dangerous as they are loaded with cracking web codes that jot down your web information and sometimes install background programs like keyloggers. If it sounds too good to be true then it likely is.

Shell I agree, anything that promises the world doesn't work, it's them "trying" to suck people in to work for nothing.

Be careful..

Start a free website, blog that sells something you believe in and see how that goes as an added income

There are SOME legit work-from-home jobs, but you won't find them advertised in flashy banners. You also won't have to invest money in them. They will be like regular jobs, except that you'll do them from your home.

There are usually opportunities in telemarketing, taking phone calls for customer service, and maybe even secretary work "outsourced" to your home. Data transcription is a popular work-at-home job too. The problem is, these jobs will NOT be compatible with child rearing! I see from your other posts that you are pregnant and assume that you are looking to be a WAHM. But if you're taking calls, you can't have a crying baby in the background. You can't drop the calls to change a diaper.

But if you're just looking to save commuting costs, you could call around to local doctors' or dentists' offices to see if they send out their transcriptions and ask what company they use. You'd then call that company to see if they have job openings and how to apply.

I just started a work from home opportunity that's legit, but you don't make money right away. You CAN though with dedication and patience, just like anything else when you open up a business.

You can PM me for more information, because I'm not sure if I can post it on here.
