People will try to get you to sign up for a website telling you, that you will make lots of money. there is no way you can get rich online quick. also if you have to pay ANYTHING at all.. it’s a scam.
try this out.
It’s a great site, it’s free, there is friendly people, they have a chat, forums, games. you can win ipods, game systems, money and do offers everyday for money. no scams. see you there!!!
Internet sales are the wave of the future, I suggest you go that route. There are many great opportunities in this day and age you just need to be involed with the right company. Here’s what you look for in any business or online company.
1. If you decide to sell a product it has to be in high demand and be very low in cost.
2. You don’t want a fly by night company……look for an established business with 5, 10, 20 or 30 years in business.
3. Find a publicly traded company to work for that’s on the New York stock exchange.
4. Does the company have growth every year that’s it’s been in business??? It should or that’s not the direction you want to go in.
5. Finally does the product or service just make since? Is there a need for it in the marketplace?
There are incredible opportunities online if you follow these steps…..And yes, there is a home business and a company with all of these credentials. There is cost but it’s very low and the commissions are incredibly high. If your interested click on the link, watch this short 2 part video and feel free to send me an email if you have anymore questions. Financial freedom is just a click away!!!
I would say be careful on an online site working at home type. Before you jump, do you research! I have known women have businesses – check out maybe you can find something there that may interests you.
Good luck!
Typing at home is legitimate and it is called medical transcription and I do it however before you can’t even consider working from home until you have gone to a 2 year medical transcriptionist program consisting of medical terminology, anatomy and physiology etc and also you have to have really good english skills. Then after you finish school you still wont be ready to work at home because what they teach you in school is helpful but not real and you need to work around other people in order to get help and learn. Most medical transcriptionists at home get paid by the work they do so, you really want to be experienced so you can get work done to make money. Also, you cannot work at home and watch children. You need full attention to your work because you only get paid what you do and like my job can tell when I am not typing. So it is possible but it takes time to get there.
I truely believe its the way of the future and may of us are wanting to work from home for many reasons. You need to do research and make sure that the company you look into is a good company and not a scam. I have been looking for a great company that does not require selling which I do not like to sell product. I have come across one of the best business model in a long time. We all shop and need to consume products on a daily, wkly, monthly basis and we all buy gifts for family and friends. I have discoved a shopping portal that not only will be the largest shopping on the internet but you get cash back for doing the thing we all love most and thats SHOP. Take a look at my website click on my picture on the lower left hand corner then go to overview and watch the video and see for yourself Best of luck in all you do!!

just another half-baked get-rich-quick scheme if you ask me
ive been doing research on the subject for quite some time and nothing that a mass of people can do from home will rake in enough money to support them for a year like a salary, so to even market a product stating this is a scam. There cant be 10,000 different people all selling things from home or typing from home all on the same system, it just wouldn’t work. I bear no credibility in any of these claims.
now please answer my question
I completely understand your caution and skepticism, because I recently went through the same thing. I was originally searching for an opportunity to make some extra money because my husband is a full time doctoral student. However, when I found the number one National Health Benefits Company in the U.S, I realized that this opportunity is going to change my life. I thoroughly researched the company and found out that legitimacy is not even a question. This 15-year-old company is a member of the Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Dental Plans. This is a nationally known and reputable home business, which has been featured on “60 Minutes” and the New York Times, to just name a few. This is the number one health benefits company in the nation and they are accepted at over 100,000 retailers nationwide (Wal-mart, Publix, Target, Rite Aid, Sears, CVS, K-mart, etc.)
A legitimate business will never promise that you will make loads of money overnight and without putting in the necessary work. However, if you are willing to work at least part time hours on this business, it will reward you for the rest of your life. This company pays me daily for the work that I do and we are paid residually as well. Your income will increase every month because of the residual pay, which means you are paid every month for work that you did once.
In addition, there are no products, cold calling, or hard selling. We simply provide a needed service for a very affordable price. All you need is an internet connection and telephone, you don’t even need to leave your house. I love this business because I know that I am going to really make a difference and as a psychology graduate this is very important to me. However, I also realize that this business is going to change my own life as well!
I am just excited to share my experience starting a business from home and wish you the best of luck!!

Hello ~
You might try Success at Home Magazine.
If you’ve been doing your homework, you know that starting your own business is absolutely the way to go..
Sadly, there exist quite an assortment of somewhat slimy, often sleazy, ethically shaky, and even downright criminally fraudulent “opportunities” out there. Believe me, I fell for several, and I am NOT a dummy. (An attorney for 20 years –- now focusing on POSITIVE pursuits!)
I invite you to look at what I have found to actually be, an honest to goodness legitimate opportunity (shocking, I know)… perfect for part-time and/or stay-at-home parents…and, since you don’t know me, why not take the time and browse the website to get a feeling for it and see what you think…
As I’m sure you well know, the timing right now truly is ideal for entrepreneurs setting up shop; even while keeping day-jobs as a safety net…. at first. ..
Assuming you qualify, you may want to consider joining me as a distributor with this honest, creative, fun, positive, incredibly successful company!.. Feel free to check it out at: while you are there, try out the system for free to see if it’s a right fit for you.
Any questions? I am at – 925-435-5674.
My Best Wishes for Your Great Success, Wherever You May Find It!
