Money Making Schemes

Nagesh answers:

There’s no such thing as a get-rich-quick scheme. Just do work.

Nagesh answers:

Why are you participating in schemes?

Of course it’s all a trick to get your money. People are making good jobs around trafficking some funds to some African babies and “utilizing” the rest for “administrative costs.”

Just don’t pay anybody. It’s as simple as that. On the street just keep walking. If it’s a phone or TV ad just say no. I’m not seeing your problem.

If it’s about stopping a predatory behavior, well… You can’t really do much about that. People are stupid sometimes. It’s been 20 something years and people still click on the “You’ve won a free laptop, click here now to claim your prize” ads.

Nagesh answers:

Most of the above replies have validity; no single application does it all.
Securing Windows operating systems from Internet assault & increasing predation, is not a single application, or a suite: and it’s not a “one step- 10 second fix” that so many want.

It’s layers of protection, user habits, system configuration, real time protection; and most important, threat landscape awareness (because the internet is so fluid and dynamic, it changes almost hourly).

Stand alone suites (CareOne, McAfee, or Norton) give users ‘feel good’ security, and lull them into complacency, which often has very bad results.

Look through some of the suggested freeware here,
http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/security/fwsecuritytools.html
study up, and pick some of the frontline, real-time defenses. Create a restore point after each install, then run the system to verify that application’s ‘friendliness’ with your system before adding other applications.
Make selections based on your skill level & system’s other configurations…an application you can’t work with is of little use.
Generally speaking: as a system’s convenience, interactiveness, flexibility & complexity increase: security decreases.

Core defense applications might include (but not limited to):
Avast! (anti-virus);
Zone Alarm (firewall);
SpywareBlaster (snoopware prevention)

I am not a scammer, I have a profile on yahoo where I have answered several questions in the past. I promise this is not a scam!

I just started working with a company, an actual legitimate company, and I am so shocked by how much help I’m getting! I sell a medical discount program that is so desperately needed by people in this tough economy we’re facing! It’s a legitimate company, part of the BBB, and U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Anyway.. I am a full time college student, and at the rate I’m going, I’ll be able to fully pay for grad school by next year.

The average person in my position starts making 6 figures in about 2 years if they stick with the FREE training provided. This is NOT a get rich quick scheme, this is legitimate work, that really works in getting you to financial freedom!

I feel good about the ‘product’ I’m selling because there’s millions and millions of people who don’t have medical or dental insurance, and this is a VERY affordable discount program, that is actually accepted at a lot of doctor’s. I don’t even have to try.. I ask anyone I see how their health coverage is, and then just simply leave a card. I don’t even have to really try.

If you interested in hearing more please let me know. I have a website listed below and would love to set up an interview any time you’re ready.

Even if you’re just looking for the benefits program info, please contact me! This is a wonderful opportunity for the right person!

As far as the any kind of fee goes, I bought their start up kit which gives you 5 websites, an email system, and marketing stuff with brochures to give out. I looked at it as I would probably spend that much on a new suit and shoes for a new job anyway. I am so glad that I did too.. Like I said… I have extra money for college, without taking out any loans and I am about to begin my master’s program

www.EveryoneBenefits.com/smiles for those needing the medical and dental benefits.

Nagesh answers:

My wife and I have really struggled with raising our son as we both have retail jobs. Also I have a ton of student loans to boot.

You could possibly sell Mary Kay or Avon. Maybe even pick up a paper route maybe open your own child care place. Don’t fall for those late night get rich quick schemes as you will lose quite a bit of money.

I don’t know what is available in your area but I am sure that if you seek you shall find extra income.

Nagesh answers:

At 13 years old your options are limited…
Most business employers want you to be at least 16 years old.

My suggestions to you:

Make up flyers and pass them around in your neighborhood.
Offer to do whatever work it is you want to do, such as :

Computer work, Babysit, Clean Garages, Organize Cupboards, File Papers, Wash Cars, Mow Lawns, Pull Weeds, Tutor the neighbors kids, Walk Dogs, Dog sit, Clean the Pool, whatever…

Post first whatever it is you want to do or are good at …
You should keep your options open and make a decision after the persons call you instead of not giving them many reasons to call.

Say on the flyer you are a student and are available on Saturdays.

Nagesh answers:

I know people who type

medical records at home or who write software or design websites. But they-re all people who know how to do something that

other people want and use the web to get it to them.
This is the only web business I have ever seen work

Nagesh answers:

The state job services says they have jobs it’s just jobs a lot of people aren’t qualified to do. Usually when you go there or to a temp agency you need to have your SS# and transportation so you’re at a loss unless you know someone who is already working and you can ride with them a short way when they go to work and then you’d have to find your way back home on the return. So look around in your neighborhood and choose places to apply to that are within walking distance. You didn’t say where you live so I guess we can’t suggest much if you live too far from stores. Wherever your parents work you might be able to get a short term summer job. Do you have a friend who could help you get around, like you could go where they are going? I know some people give plasma but you have to be healthy and well fed for that or you’ll get sick. Why not contact your minister at least to ask about their food bank (maybe they can leave food off for you). Maybe you have relatives who will take you in or loan you some money so you can get food stamps (or apply online). Sometimes you could barter, like doing volunteer work at the soup kitchen and that will at least feed you for the day. Try Subway too as you get a footlong sandwich per day there. Maybe you can help move furniture so apply at a furniture or moving and storage place. Maybe you could be a security guard at an apartment complex (sometimes they allow a studio apartment for their workers). Maybe you could apply at the food stamp office for further assistance. Contact Goodwill and maybe you can work one of their trailers. Or see if you can be a stocker or cashier at your grocery store.

Hundred questions a day here like that. 99.9% seem to be selling software or getting your money to sign up for useless scams. 0.05 % are people who’s real jobs let them work from home from time to time; 0.05% are undecided. Be careful of the scammers about to answer.

If there were such jobs wouldn’t everyone be doing them?

Cue the scammers ….3….2….1…..

Nagesh answers:

Be very careful with any of those “fast free easy money” deals you see. Many of them are scams. If making money were really that easy and fast we’d have all quit our jobs by now.

Nagesh answers:

Try going to Goodwill to get something cheap but still good quality for your son. According to your profile, he’s still really young so he won’t know the difference between something brand new and gently used. Or, you can go to a church and explain your situation and ask if there are any toy drives going on.

Luckily at your son’s age you won’t need to get much to make him happy. Children can be thrilled at small things, just put some creativity into it! 🙂

Nagesh answers:

If you want to make extra money you HAVE TO try this out. It has worked for me, my family, and friends.

If you have a computer and the internet (and an e-mail account), that’s all you need to make money at this website I found. It’s completely legitimate. They are an American company, but residents from all countries are welcome.

This website is the ONLY website I’ve found so far that actually pays you money for doing very little work.
All you do is fill out simple surveys and sign up for websites.
All you need is a valid address where they can send your monthly cheque.
I’ve only been with this program for a few months, but I already know that it works. I have received numerous cheques from them totalling well over $800.
I only spend a few hours on the site a month. This means that I earned about $20/hr for doing next to nothing. This IS a legitimate website with thousands of users who are earning money as well.

The reason I’m posting this is because I have an opportunity to earn even more money. If you sign up for the site and start earning money, I earn an additional 20% of whatever you made.

So here’s the link, give it a try. What do you have to lose, you don’t have to put in your credit card information or anything. Here’s the link….

You’re the minimum age the site accepts, so take advantage of it!

Horses are expensive.

Call all the lesson barns in your area. Some are willing to let kids do barn chores in exchange for lessons.

Here’s other suggestions:
1) Babysitting
2) Yardwork
3) Dog walking
4) Pet sitting (lots of people need pet sitters over Christmas)

Good luck!

Nagesh answers:

Negotiate fees with your parents for extra chores around the house. Try to pick things they might hire a professional to do (like detail the car) and charge them half price. Ask your parents if you can clean the house each week instead of them or your housekeeper. Do your laundry and the dishes. This can be a weekly sum. Do the chores properly or your parents might not think it’s worth their money. Parents are sometimes more willing to help out if they know what your plan is, so share all the details with them.

Shovel snow: Go to every house in a good sized neighborhood charging 5 dollars per driveway, or 15 dollars a week for shoveling the snow. Do this every time it snows. Someone may pay you in advance for a month if they know you or like your work!

You can also pass out flyer’s and Business cards for people who need help advertising.

Mow lawns for your neighbors. You can make a lot of money, but it’s hard work and takes up a lot of Saturdays. Also consider the maintenance aspect in respect to the lawn mower itself – hours on motor, oil, spark plugs, blades if this is your parents mower. However, most parents will not care and just be thankful that you are out making money.

Babysitting is easy to do and many people can also consider it as practice and a way of gaining experience if they intend to get into the house and elderly care business. Babysitting is a less complex job as compared to others, and if you are lucky enough, they will end up being paid to study while watching some cute kid napping off in front of the television.

Hope i helped !

Nagesh answers:

People ask me this all the time.
I work with money all the time.

Ex: The 20’s
I count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
When I get to the 5th bill – I know I have 100 dollars
You can count thousands really fast that way – try it

Same with 10’s. Don’t count them 10, 20, 30
Count them 1, 2, all the way to 10 and you have $100
Ditto for 5’s – 20 of them make $100
Dimes, the same. Count them 1,2,3 – 10 of them make $1.00

Nagesh answers:

Anyone in the UK who says you do medicine for the money isn’t a doctor. Trust me, I’ve been qualified for 10 years, and while I earn more than average, it isn’t as much as joe public thinks, and there are lots of jobs where you get better money a lot more quickly than medicine. We also have much higher overheads than others in a similar wage bracket due to exams, courses, membership fees for the GMC, BMA, Royal Colleges etc, medical indeminity insurance… The list goes on and on.

If you want money quickly, become an actuary or something like that.

Nagesh answers:

Contact your local citizens advice beareu (lol, cant spell it XD) and ask them what funding you are entitled to and where to get it. If you live within the UK and are under 25 you can get into contact with the princes trust to get funding. You can also get a student loan out to pay for your course and pay it back in installments when your earning over a certain amount (some companies do this oh so nice service which is really good) do some research online and contact the collage you want to enrol in and ask them if they can reccomend anything for you. If its a course that will defonately lead to a career or self employment, you will be very likely to get a scholorship or funding or a loan cause they know it will amount to something.

Hope this helps. =D

Nagesh answers:

I would suggest to start with sit and gos because it’s harder to lose money quickly. You should just choose the site that offers the lowest stake games to start with because you will not be a winning player straight away and software quality is less important for casual play. I would suggest taking a look at http://nodepositpokerking.com/best-uk-sites.html for a good list of UK poker sites to start such as Sky Poker, 888 Poker, William Hill … The big advantage is also access to srategy articles and videos that can pretty much guarantee beating the low stake games. Whatever you do, don’t sign up to a site directly – use a referrer and you’ll get loads of benefits such as bonuses and rakeback so going direct is a huge rip-off.

Easiest ways in-game i can think of to quickly earn money is to hunt, there are multiple areas filled with dozens of rabbits and beavers, there is one area that has bears, which continue to spawn every few seconds (Unless an update was released.) After about 20 minutes of killing the bears you could easily have a a couple dozen grand. Also once you progress so far in game you get your assassin’s guild like in some of the previous games, you can send your recruits out to earn money and items.

Sometimes you can earn money, get an extra spin on the Wheel of Wow, or play quick games when you go to the Hourly Events. You can also go to the Curio Shop tab and go gem hunting. When you find a gem, you can sell it to earn money. There is also the Magical Forest tab. When you go there, you can click on Alyssa’s Star Challenge, where you can find stars and sell them. When you go to the newspaper, click on the Contact Us tab at the bottom. Click on Comments and Suggestions. Every week they run a new survey and when you answer it you earn 50 Kinzcash.

Why not be a writer for your own blog? That way nobody will scam you and you can earn a little bit of money while having fun.

Nagesh answers:

Here’s what I did… I started selling Products from Home. Home Interior first and it was a slow start so I stopped. Then I got an idea…what sells fast? SEX. So I started selling adult novelties and gifts through home parties. Oh course you have to me 18 or older to attend , host or sell these items. My typical party is $500 to $1000 a night. So with 40% commission and company paid incentives and freebies to my customers that’s $200-$400 a night. Its all in what you put into it. Sell it full time earn more.. Part time less. But I have FUN at what I do and work when I want to. I even paid $0 for my kit to start. This is also something you can do in Germany. With 50% commission for overseas consultants.
This isn’t a sales gimmick just I believe this is the right fit for me. I wanted to contributed to my family without sacrificing my family time… You need to find the right fit for you and go for it.

We also started renting Hot Tubs for parties private and other wise. I have really enjoyed that too. These to projects seem to compliment each other.

-extra chores in the house?
-babysit (If you’re good with kids)
-sell your Wii
-sell old stuff in the house w/ your parents permission on a site like ebay or craigslist

I wouldn’t go for those online surveys and such. Most are fake and require many hoops to jump. They might just take your info and such – make sure to check the bbb.org site to see if it’s legitimate. Protect yourself.

Nagesh answers:

Can’t you just explain to your family your finances? Our family is very open about what we can afford and what we can’t. I guess it’s because one year all my sister and I got was a package of fun chapstick because mom just moved into a new place.

Your wife will certainly understand and if you don’t have $$ for christmas, will you have the $$ to pay back the loan?

Not trying to bash you, we’re in the same situation, we’re selling stuff thats no longer needed to come up with the $$ for some presents because we’re not putting ourselves that farther in debt for material things, not worth it. 🙂

Nagesh answers:

This is a hard question to answer because since you are 15 you really didn’t give us enough information to provide a good answer. First I would ask you where you will be staying when you go South? Will you be staying with family or with friends that are your own age or with your friends family? Being a mother myself it’s sometimes difficult letting your kids be on their own, especially with all the things you see on the news that might happen to you while you’re away. I would say that even though it may not be a vacation for her your mom should consider coming with you so that you can go and she can feel more comfortable about the whole situation. There is really nothing you can say to your mom that is going to help, but acting maturely like you have by not nagging her about it is a definite plus in your corner. About the money. Do you know how much money you are going to need for your vacation? I would say make a budget so that you can come up with a total of what it’s going to take for expenses. To earn money you can possibly babysit for friends and family, or if you are a boy you can possibly cut and weed yards, paint fences, or clean up people’s garages. I would say to make a flyer on your computer offering your services to your neighbors and friends with your phone number on it if you can and post it or put it in your neighbors mailboxes. If not, have your mom let her friends know what you can do for them to make some money. Dog sitting or walking your neighbors dogs is also a great way to make money. You might ask your mom if you can have a garage sale and gather items that your mother, aunts, grandparents might not want but that you can sell. Hope this helps you 🙂

Nagesh answers:

First let me say it sounds like you have very loving parents, have you tried making things or selling candy out your house to the hood kids in your hood? Maybe start a video game contest or something and charge a cover fee or something. Think what are you good at? Can you offer to do homework or take notes for other kids or sell your notes or something hope this helps?

Nagesh answers:

My advice/suggestion: go for word of mouth and beyond that, keep your initial investment low. It will cost you less than 2 pennies to print up some of those tear-off phone number adverts that you’ve seen all over on bulletin boards and that’s including the push-pin (your time with the scissors to slice them into easy tear-offs will be more valuable than that, of course). Post them everywhere you’ve seen anything like that and you’ll likely get a few phone calls; if your random customers are happy, then you’ll get more word of mouth advertisement free.

Also consider whether your interest in massage is more than superficial. Professional training could give you fresh inspiration and sharpen your innate talent. Look around your local area for teachers; you might well be able to pursue massage education in addition to college.

And yes, you could make it a small business, but get some income going from informal channels before you start drawing up business plans 🙂

You are madly in love, not your fiance, she is just mad. If you want to go through life being a whipping boy, that is up to you. If you want respect, respect yourself enough to leave.

Nagesh answers:

Honestly, If I was in your shoes I would go with the cheaper school. Especially if it amounts to the same degree. Most employers care more about GPA and what your degree is than where you go to school. You should think of your college as what will give you your highest rate of return. In this case, it may be to go to Auburn instead of Emory as it is much cheaper to go there and you will have less student loans to pay off in the future. I know this is a very hard decision to make but if I were in your shoes that is what I would do! Hope this helps.

Nagesh answers:

Well, you have several different issues to address:

1) Unemployment. Make sure you work with your unemployment office and get approval BEFORE you enroll in any educational program. In many states, they won’t continue your benefits while you are in school unless it is a program that they approved ahead of time. It’s also possible that they may be able to pay for part or all of the training, so it’s definitely worth talking to them first.

2) Overqualification: You don’t have to list all of your qualifications on your resume. If you’re willing to work for less money, just list the basics. Or address the problem in your cover letter, indicating that you are willing to accept an entry level position, and can offer them more experience and more skill for the same amount of money as a newbie. (Then negotiate for a raise later on when they love you and can’t do without you).

3)Financial Aid for School: You apply for federal student aid by completing the FAFSA (the Free Application for Federal Student Aid) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. This application will determine your eligibility for federal grants and loans, and is often also used as the basis for determining if you are eligible for state grants and school scholarships. The FAFSA uses your previous year’s tax return to determine your income level, so make sure the schools you are considering are aware that you are now unemployed and have a big change in that income.
If you are a full time student, you will probably be eligible for $9,500 per year in student loans, and possibly for up to $5,500 in a Pell grant. You may also be eligible for other aid from your state or your college.

4) Living Expense Money: Student aid is intended for educational expenses. It is sent directly to your school, where it is first applied to your school’s charges such as tuition and fees. At most private colleges and for-profit career schools, you will need all of your funding to pay these charges. However, if you are attending a low cost school such as a community college, you may have more aid than is needed to cover the charges. If that is the case, then the overage will be “refunded” back to you in the form of a check or debit card that can be used for other educational expenses such as books or other supplies. It is not intended for personal expenses and is not supposed to be used for things like rent or car payments, though it is unlikely that anyone will check up on you to see what you spend it on. It won’t be enough to live on, though, and in most cases, the money is a loan, not a grant, so you will have to repay it with interest after you graduate.

Hope that helps. Good Luck!

Nagesh answers:

There are plenty legitamate and lucrative home based businesses out there. Some businesses are designed for solely customer acquisition based, (no MLM plan) while other businesses have a design for both recruitment and customer acquisition based. This just means getting customers. It’s funny because many people refer companies to a MLM or a pyramid scheme without looking into the entire documentation of how the business model is. I laugh at so many misconceptions I’ve heard over the years with Pyramid accusations, MLM accusations on a variety of different companies. Even companies that are claiming not to be involved in an MLM scheme or “pyramid”. Let’s face it, where do YOU work now? Is it for a small business owner, how about a large corporation, or even inbetween? Unless your jobless, guess what, your part of a pyramid scheme. Here’s why: The American business model is build the same way! Welcome to Corporate America! Get a peice of paper out. Take any corporation or small business, let’s use a corporation as an example. On the top of your paper, draw a circle. This circle represents the Owner or partnership owners, Then write two circles under that (President/ CEO) and the Vice President. Write a few more circles under that and you have corporate management positions. A few circles under that and you have store managers, a few circles under that and you have store department managers, a few circles under that and you have sales reps. Each level on this pyramid scale is a different level of income. The bottom people doing all the dirty work so that the position above them gets paid so that the position above them gets paid and so on and so on. What people don’t realize that but unless it’s a one man show no hired help, no independent representatives, everyone works in a pyramid! Even if it is a one man show, your still feeding Uncle Sam who didn’t work for you at all. But sits on top of the biggest pyramid scheme of them all collecting money from everyone. So are you ready to quit your day job yet? I wouldn’t until your set financially. Like I tell my kids, don’t bite the hand that feeds you! The point is regardless if it’s an MLM, Networking or even down to a shoe store, everything is part of a pyramid. Key thing that if you don’t want to do an MLM scheme and not recruit, then find a home based business where it’s not mandatory to recruit for other people to do what your doing, and their is a compensation plan that is design for non recruitment. Understand to achieve the amount of money that you desire, will take a little bit longer to obtain then getting a few people to help you acquire customers. But the company should give you a choice. If you choose to recruit people, then the income you make from their customers should not be taken away from that persons income at all. It should be equal value. If you decide to open up your own business, and are against MLM schemes, then don’t be a hypocrite and hire someone to work for you, because guess what, you just started your own MLM scheme. It’s a fact of life. You can slice and dice it anyway you want, but like I said, unless your jobless then your part of a pyramid scheme yourself right now. That’s just how it is. Your whole working career has been part of a pyramid.
You don’t want an MLM, network marketing or pyramid, start your own daycare, but don’t hire anyone or you just started a pyramid once again. Also you’ll be limited to how many kids you can take in. Your own kids count as a head count. So if your licensed for say 6, you have 2 kids per say, you can only take in 4.
Unless you want to keep inside your safety zone and not step out of your box and venture into something that can be very rewarding and have your own business regardless of what type of home based business (they’re all pyramid structures, even jobs are) then don’t quit your day job, even though it’s a pyramid structure as well. Don’t mean to be harsh , but it’s the facts of life.
Good Luck to you though!

There are a multitude of problems with your suggestion. The Democrats have fought tooth and nail to keep Social Security from being privatized, that is having you “own” the deposits you have made to Social Security. Nancy Pelosi and her ilk have made a pact where they take your money, spend it as they wish, with a “promise” to pay you back something in retirement. There is no Social Security trust fund. The money has been spent. Like Rick Perry alludes to, it is a Ponzi scheme where you pay into a system which pays benefits to current recipients and future generations (if there’s enough of them and they earn enough) pay for your benefits when you retire. There is no money to pay you back what you paid into Social Security.

Nancy Pelosi and her ilk do not believe you have the intelligence to handle the money you paid into Social Security so will never give it to you until you qualify for it.

Also, please explain why people who were good with their money and never became underwater get to sit by and watch all of those who were bad with their money, got themselves underwater and get to do what they want with this handout? Why should people who were bad with their money get more options with how to spend it?

Nope, Social Security was designed to be a safety net, a safety net you propose to rip to shreds with your proposal. It won’t happen.

I think MSN may be pretty reputable as far as a source, if you look on their Money section, they have an article about real work at home jobs and some of these are for surveys

You’ll get lots of scammers answering here, don’t fall prey. But, at the same time, please don’t listen to the people saying they are ALL SCAMS. They aren’t ALL scams, just MOST of them are!

I’m a single mom of 2 who’s tried over 15 opportunities over 3 years so I have some great info for you on how to find a LEGIT way to work at home plus a list of top 10 work at home scams!

People are looking for work from home and the biggest problem is they don’t understand that there really are NO WORK AT HOME JOBS. You won’t find hourly pay from home. You can look forever, you’ll never find it. The only way to earn an income from home is to find a legit home business.

Small home businesses have increased in the last 5 years by about 200%. People are starting to realize that if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. The best home businesses to start are those with a proven plan in place like Mary Kay however if you’re like me, you’re not interested in pushing products.

Legit home businesses should have a small cost involved but be careful, all the scams will be charging too so know the business! Talk to a REAL person and ask questions. Less than $500 to start is reasonable and I’d stay away from those wanting $1k – $5k. It doesn’t cost that much to start a home business so don’t pay it. If you’re coming across places that say free then RUN the other way! They never are in the end!

After trying 15 things, I now work about 25 hours per week for a well known and respected company w/ amazing credentials. This company actually helps keep Americans Safe by offering Medical and Dental plans as well as things like roadside assistance, credit repair and National Child ID in partnership with the FBI. We also help Americans save money on things they need and buy every day. The average American household saves $400 a month using these plans.

Anyway, I started with this company 3 years ago and started making $500 a month within 3 months. That income has increased now to $900 a week. No, it’s not $10,000 a day like those scams advertise but this isn’t a get rich quick scheme. If that’s what you are looking for you should think again! The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit and a health plan from day one.

With this company there’s NO products to sell or store, NO hard selling or pushing, NO Bugging Friends and Family, NO cold calling, NO home parties and NO telemarketing! That was VERY important to me. Figure out what you DON’T want to do as well and make sure you find a company that fits with that!

I work as part of a team with other reps in the company. I had at least 5 of their home phone #’s the day I started. This is a big one: Make sure that you’re going to have others to work with. Don’t find out you just paid a start up cost and you will be trained by someone in a call center who has NO REAL idea what you are actually supposed to do. Make sure you are trained by other reps just like you, and ask for names and numbers! If they won’t give them, walk away!

I was scared at first because there are lots of scams, but this company’s credentials FAR SURPASSED any other I had ever seen. They are members of the National Association of Dental Plans and the US Chamber of Commerce and have been featured in Parent Magazine, Time Magazine, on 60 Minutes and many other places. They are partnered with the FBI on one of their plans that helps American’s protect their kids. This company has an “A” RATING WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU! These are some of the types of national credentials you need to be looking for during your search and make sure they have at C or better rating with the BBB.

My point here is to tell you, YES! There actually are legit work at home options so press forward! You will find them eventually!

AVOID these top 10 work at home scams:

10. Craft Assembly
9. Medical Billing
8. Email/Rebate Processing
7. “A List of Companies Looking for Home workers!”
6. “Just pay for and take this class first” Then we’ll give or find you a job!
5. Envelope Stuffing
4. “Turn Your Computer Into a Money-Making Machine!”
3. Pyramid Schemes (this is NOT the same as Multi-Level Marketing MLM)
2. Chain Letters/Emails
1. Typing At Home / Data Entry (The biggest scam out there. 100% of them are scams!)

As for those of you who say: ”I want to work from home but I don’t want to have to pay for anything”. Well, that’s great! But it’s not realistic. Let’s be honest, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If it is a true honest legitimate home business, you need to expect to pay a little something. Mr. Walt Disney didn’t start the Disney empire “without paying for anything”. Neither did Mr. Sam Walton, owner of Wal-Mart.

Good luck in your search!

I have a network marketing business of my own and have done a lot of reading over the last couple of years, about selling psychology and so on.

The basic thing is this: Think about when you walk into a, let’s say, department store. Do you like the guy to come straight up to you and shove products in your face and use all different aggressive sales techniques to pry your money away from you and into his cash register?

Or do you prefer to cruise around the store and browse without pressure. If you see something you like, you may decide to buy it.

PEOPLE HATE TO BE SOLD TO. THEY LIKE TO BUY.

Network marketing has a false reputation of being a pyramid scheme, simply because people’s minds are closed to the concept, even though they don’t realise that the company they work for, the church they go to, have the same pyramidical (real word?) heirarchy structure, with the guy at the top making more money than each level below (CEO, then management, then workers).

Sometimes they just aren’t looking for anything like that, they are happy the way they are. They don’t want to have to try and talk people into buying things from them, which is fair enough I say.
