Would love to show you a company that will you allow you to work from home in your spare time. As a busy mother of two, I know how hard it is. You will never have to sell anything to anyone. Just show people a webcast and if they like what they see, they sign up. That is it. If you are interested, would love to show you a webcast that explains it all in detail. You will be able to watch it from they comfort of your home at times that work for you. Then if you like what you see, we could chat. Sincerely, Terra

Hi, Diann. Just wandering if you could send me the site that you found. I am also looking to work at home, but want no part of the selling side of it. :-)

Greetings Diann!

Boy do I know where you are coming from... it is a bit of a grueling search looking for a legitimate way to generate income from home. I know that finding a job can be quite difficult... I remember when I was searching.... But, I just wanted to stop by and share some information or advice for you. Working from home is an absolute blessing. You just have to decided whether or not you want a work at home job or a work at home career (home-business). I have been in the work from home field since 2003 and love it. I've worked for many companies from home (as an employee) and did enjoy doing it at the time. However, I prefer owning my own business over a work at home job cause you still have to have some schedule and report to someone in a home-based job. With my own business I have more FREEDOM and write my OWN schedule and if I need to leave really quick to go pick my daughter up from school, I just do it. I don't have to worry about my shift not being covered. In addition, I OWN it and I don't have to worry about being laid off or "fired." Yes, you can get laid off from a work from home job too (I did with 2 companies I worked for!! Then I was back at square one). Plus, I learned that NO employer will pay you what you are WORTH... you can only get that by working for yourself. I don't know about you, but I'm worth more than $7, $8, $9, $10, $11 an hour. I stop trading time for money long time ago....What I like even more is that I control how little and how much I make! As of September 2008, my home business has allowed me to work full-time/part-time from home based on my family's schedule!

You must also note the important differences between a home based job versus a work at home based career/ business. A home based job is a bit more difficult to find. Most of the ones that are commonly available are centered around telemarketing, appointment setting or customer service/ order taking. The ones that are legit have hundreds to thousands of people on their waiting lists and/or have tedious hiring procedures. You should NEVER PAY for a home based job. They will pay you either hourly or a base salary. Some pay by minute of talk-time and/or commissions. So be very careful when applying for work at home jobs where they are hiring you as an EMPLOYEE versus an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. A home based business is much different from a work at home job. Some form of an investment whether minimal or large is normally required. However, unlike the work at home job, the investment and expenses are fully tax deductible. You will not be an EMPLOYEE (W-2) but classified as an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR (1099) which identifies you as a SMALL BUSINESS OWNER with the IRS. Owning your own business is VERY REWARDING. You have FLEXIBILITY, FREEDOM, and the opportunity to EARN a SIGNIFICANT INCOME (because you are in control of what you make or don't make!). The key things you should look for when searching for a home business is a legitimate, reputable company, minimal investment, residual income (being paid monthly on one each "sign-up" you bring- similar to royalties that singers get when producing CDs), benefits, opportunity for advancement, valued product or services, unlimited support and training.

While you are conducting your search, you have to be careful about scams. In 2003, when I began my search for work from home I got scammed out of over $500. You name it, I've probably done it. That experience is what prompted me to pursue the degrees that I have which is in Paralegal Studies and Criminal Justice-(CSI and Cybercrime emphasis). I have done volunteer work for 4 or more years as an Internal Investigations Manager for a work at home forum that has now transformed into a telecommute agency. I eventually plan to work for the government in their Cybercrime Units. Pretty much I can spot a scam not even a mile a way!

Feel free to contact me for more information and advice on things you may come across and question if the company is a scam. As I stated before....You name it, I've probably done it! I've done over 30+ things from home so far. But I do recommend that you do your research on all businesses/ companies that you come in contact with. Don't always rely on consumer reports as your sole decision maker. Use that information to ask that company questions about the reports you may have found if if they answer your question entirely to your satisfaction, you make the decision to proceed with them or not. There are ALOT of disgruntled people out there calling companies scams when they are not. I have been dealing with a lot of cases where companies are cracking down on these people and suing them. So becareful who you are quick to call a scam and especially if you are posting it in a public domain.

If home-based jobs is what you're def looking for--- I have information available on LEGIT hiring companies that I've researched (ran background checks on) in my group as well as which scams to avoid: http://www.cafemom.com/group/91786. You can also send an email to cs@blessed2behome.org for a current list of hiring companies (no business opportunities will be provided- just legitimate jobs).

Many Blessings to You & Much Success With Your Journey,
Tresie

Diann I have read all these posts you have. Just wondering if you found something that works for you??? I am interested in the same areas of working from home that you are and I am having a very hard time finding something I can do typing or data entry or even transcription. If you have found something that you would like to share, please let me know. Good luck!

Hey Diann. I see that you are familiar with home based businesses so PLEASE keep in mind that a work at home JOB will NEVER have fees!!

I myself have a home based business with Ameriplan ... but I have Work At Home Job links that have some great info :)

Here are some more links to websites that have Legit Work At Home JOBS **some of these sites DO have home based businesses but you will easily be able to differentiate, most home businesses think that being with the BBB is great, & it is OKAY, but you get accredited when you PAY, look for other recognition that really matters & puts it above & beyond! ~
