Lately, I have been looking at how many “work at home” listings there are out there on the internet. OMG! So many so-called “opportunities”!! I have actually looked at many of them in my search for a way to make an income from working at home with my computer. Many that I have looked at involve clicking on ad offers, which almost invariably require “completion of offers”, which mean you have to actually purchase something or at the very least give them your credit card info for a “free” introductory offer (after which of course they start charging your card if you don’t manage to get your cancellation to them in time). Yikes!
I don’t know about you, but how in the heck are you supposed to keep track of all these free offers so you can cancel in time? That’s way too involved and complicated for me. Not to mention the idea of having your credit / debit card number out there to companies you may not necessarily know or trust yet.
Other work at home schemes (and I say “schemes” for a reason) require you to purchase something up front – like a book or a membership or an ongoing monthly subscription fee, supposedly to give you the privilege to look at a list of employers or tips on how to go about getting these jobs! No guarantees of course. Some of these claim they are for legitimate jobs from home. Well, if they were really legitimate employers looking for people to work for them, why should the prospective employees have to pay them for anything?!
Unfortunately, these people who are ONLY interested in making a quick buck have ruined it for other really honest, legitimate business people who are earning a good income from home and are looking to find others to join them. People have understandably become very skeptical and cautious, and a lot of good people are missing out on some really excellent opportunities as a result.
I know I was that way (skeptical and cautious) and still am, to some extent. However, I am so glad I did step out on faith to have a look at this business I am building. I watched the information webcast, talked to people involved, researched the corporate company my team partners with, and saw that it was based on a solid foundation and excellent products that people want. That is the key! I took the leap …. and am so glad I did!
