Home Business Scams

Beware of home business scams that promise overnight success and large monthly incomes.  Normally, they are only a means of making someone else large sums of money.

We see people turning to the Internet for work-at-home programs to create additional income while staying at home.  Now days with the violence in schools, traffic and job related stress factors it's no surprise that people are turning to the Internet for solutions for combining working at home with family care. 

In many cases it's the single Mom or Dad that simply want to be there for his or her children as much as possible.  Some mothers like to stay at home to create additional income (as I did), while their husbands continue working a traditional job.

The problem is in finding the right business that will generate enough income to work at home.  Many sites on the Internet  claim to just that, but because I had fallen prey to many scams before I develop my own successful home business, I decided to do a little research to keep my readers from becoming victims too.  So with my husband's help we spent a couple of days checking out many of the most popular programs titles below and found them to be "Scams." 

Actually the one stay-at-home business promise we found to be honest and a means of creating a successful home business was SBI, which we are currently using with great success. But I'll get into that later because it's not a system and actually a means of an individual or an organization looking to their own talents or interests to create a successful business from their skills.

Recognizing Internet Scams

Internet Scams To Avoid:

• Rebate Processing

• Type At Home

• Data Entry

• Online Paid Surveys

• At Home Phone Jobs

We found many more job descriptions, but the above programs are the most advertised by many websites offering a plethora of online employment opportunities promising work for stay at home parents and others.  

We went through hundreds of these leads, taking the time to read through ambiguous websites that claim to be honest and helpful, but they all have one thing in common.  They ask for a minimum of $50.00 or more to purchase their programs.  

You may receive their program which makes little sense, or you might end up in a circle, only to realize that you just purchased an affiliate program for selling information about a business that doesn't seem to exist.  In other words, there is no business, just the advertising of one.  All you can do is become as dishonest as the person you purchased the program from. 

That is old news.  Before that scam, it was stuffing envelopes.  Now, it's a little more sophisticated.   

If there are legitimate offers out there, we didn't find them.  And we didn't find one of these programs, claiming work at home employment, that would hire someone without payment first.       

But that's not all.  The main website where you locate these work at home programs, ask for a minimum of $25.00 just to get the links for all these programs.  

On their home page, they ask you questions like:

• Do you want to create an Online Home Based Business or earn additional income?

• What types of income goals do you have?

• How much time do you have to spend working from home?

• Which type of program do you feel meets your skill sets?

• Which type of program do you feel most comfortable with?

This makes one feel as if everything is legitimate and that they are actually offering employment.  However, what they are offering you is a link to click onto so that if you buy one or more of these programs, they will make affiliate money from you.  Affiliate money is great.  I earn affiliate money, but not for work-at-home businesses or employment.  My links lead to legitimate products from well-known companies that value their good reputations.  They always deliver what their customers pay for and offer great Customer Service.
 

Avoiding The Home Business Scams Systems

So what is the solution to these programs if you desire to work at home? 

You can avoid home business scams by looking within yourself.  Trust GOD and trust YOURSELF! 

You can do anything you put your mind to and have a strong desire to accomplish.  If you're going to spend money, invest in yourself, not a home business scam provider that will only take your money and leave you worse off. 

It is rare that you can begin a business and begin to make money overnight, but if you begin now, you will get the ball rolling for generating your own income opportunity.

As you look to yourself for ideas, the time you spent will be productive and creative.  

Think about your personality for ideas.  Do you enjoy selling and talking with people?  Selling beauty, health, or cleaning products in your community can be fun and a great source of income.  

If you prefer working at home without having to talk people into purchasing your product, I have a few sources that I know work because they work for me and others.  My information writing has been successful since 1981 before computers and the Internet were an everyday part of life.  This is a skill anyone can develop and turn into a successful business.  I've been doing this since 1981. 

Most important, for whatever you do Online, you'll need a website.  However, I can recommend one that will not only cost you very little, but it offers you all the tools you need to successfully create a home business from your skills and expertise.  This is the website I use and until I found SBI, I was not able to reach many people because Christian websites rarely do well on the Internet.  I really wanted to get my message out to the world and SBI has helped me to do that in a spectacular way.  It has truly been a Godsend.
