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!

It really depends on what you want to record. If you just want to record vocals you can get away with downloading a copy of audacity and buying a USB mic. That is about as simple as it can be to get started.

For more advanced recording you can get an interface. The interface is responsible for connecting instruments and microphones to your computer. The interface also will contain software for recording and mixing. Some may also come with virtual instruments in order to create music, or you may have to buy that seperatly. When choosing an interface you will need to look at how much multi-tracking you plan on doing. Multi-tracking meaning recording multiple tracks at the same time. For instance if you want to record a band with a vocalist, bassist, guitarist and keyboard all together you would want enough inputs to be able to do that. 4 would be the minimum in this case. However, on the same project you could use an interface with only 1 input and you could record everything individually and then mix them together. It all depends on you and what you plan on recording. When it comes to tracking drums, i want no less than 4 inputs alone for drums, i’d actually like more around 8 but could make 4 work. If you plan on recording drums i don’t suggest using one mic in the middle of the room unless that mic is a Blue Bottle or some other high end mic.

Another thing to think about when looking at interfaces is the software that comes with it. The Mbox series comes with protools which is pretty much industry standard for recording. You also will pay another hundred or two for an interface that comes with protools. At the end of the day, all of the recording software will be pretty much the same with a few different bells and whistles here and there.

Once that is decided you need mics. Again this will depend on what you want to record. I don’t suggest going and getting crappy mics to save money because at the end of the day it will produce crappy sound. A good collection of mics will boost the sound of your recordings. For guitars and such i would recommend an SM 57. It’s a standard mic at almost all if not all studios. It’s really versatile in a studio and having a few of them for drums and guitars is good. They’re also fairly cheap in the grand scheme of mics at around $100. For vocals on the cheap end i’d get an SM 58 which has been a staple in studios and live shows for a long time, again around $100. I personally recommend everyone the Rode NT1a. I’ve heard it on a variety of applications and it has never let me down. It sells for around $240. For drums you may look into getting a drum mic package deal from guitarcenter.com. I really like the yamaha sub-kick on the kick drum, it retails around $5-600 i think. The mic captures the sound, so don’t be cheap here.

You can find on sweetwater.com guitarcenter.com or musiciansfriend.com and find studio package deals. Some include just an interface and mic, some include that plus monitors and mixers, some include computers as well. You can find some good deals to get everything you need to get started in one purchase. It may be something to check out.

Those are the basics, you can always add more and more to get bigger and better sound.

1. We need to create a brand name and a logo with an appealing appropriate slogan that fits well with the type of business you are in. (ex: if your jewelry are simple communicated this is the logo and slogan if the it is an extravagant jewelry the logo and slogan must reveal this)

2. You need to utilize the power of the word of mouth, motivate your clients to tell other about your business (this is a very effective tool especially with small business) (we might also think about a discount scheme for those who recommend new clients)

3. Make a website with appealing high quality visuals of your pieces most important you need to capitalize on the fact the all piece are “hand made each is a masterpiece that is made with passion” and so in

4. Add a information tag to your pieces with a description of your hand made products and all your contact information

5. Do a clients data base with all details information if possible
(birthdays of client, his wife, kids and so on) the best thing to do this is to hand them a ready made format where they can fill.. The more detailed the better)

6. In future you can tart doing a catalogue

most important communicated that what you are doing is Art and not just another piece of jewelry. This will add a value dimension to your goods
