Are All Work at Home Jobs Scams?

You can believe that there are many work from home jobs that are indeed scams. But take heart in knowing that most are honest, legitimate businesses for you to either get into or start up yourself.  

Almost everyone who ever took it upon themselves to make the huge shift from 'full-time employment' to working from home, did so for the very same reasons that you are considering it.

If you take your time and consider your options carefully, you should really not have any trouble at all choosing between those who are out to take advantage of you, and the ones that you can quite literally bank on.

So how do you not get suckered into a bad deal?  That's easy.  You do the leg work.  You do your homework.  It’s not hard for a company to promise you the moon, the sun and the stars in order to get your full attention - and then take your money.  

Most of them are in fact quite skilled at this.  It's almost like they went to school just to learn how to do this - to manipulate and monetize for their own purposes.

But here is the bright side - it’s a lot harder for them to be able to put their respectable reputation where their digital mouth is.  Your homework is to check out whatever company you’re looking into joining.  

Look into them from every angle.  Read, research, digest and intuit all that you possibly can about their beginnings, their philosophy, and their journey to where they are now.  Feel out their intentions and be clear as to whether or not they resonate with you, and what you want to put forward online.  

If you fully decide that you want to create your own business as other entrepreneurs before you have done, then take the time to seek out a seasoned mentor.  

There are many retired professionals who will gladly give you some guidance, and help you to avoid some of the most common start up mistakes.  If you wish to read further on how to start up your own online business, even when money is tight, my next article offers up some insight.
