Work From Home Scams
This is the first of two work from home scam articles I've written in the hope that it may prevent others falling victim to scam artists, not only stealing your money but destroying your hope in this business and possibly destroying your dream of working for yourself.
Home Business A Scam
by Michael Molloy
Thats it no more, living for Friday and Monday always comes too soon.
Day in, day out and your boss, if only there was a way around that pay
check. Its time to start your own business.
95 percent of all businesses fail.
Thousands of people are deciding to work from home and are making it
work. So what guarantees you a place among the 5 percent? Actually its
more like 3 percent but i am not trying to scare you.
First of all, lets look as some of your options. You may wish to work
from home but still pick up your paycheck, so in your current job is
there a possibility for this option. You will find many bosses who are
willing to help arrange this. Do you have any skill, which you could
market to online companies, if so, you will need to get your portfolio
and resume somewhere it can be accessed online. The traditional
methods work as well but remember with the advances in technology we
have easy access to the global market.
Starting a business yourself. When you do a search on google for a
phrase like, start your own business, you may feel overwhelmed with
the results. At the time of writing the number was 583,000,000. Narrow
the search by including an area of interest, which attracts you. You
are more likely to remain focussed and committed if the business is
interesting to you. Depending on how much you are willing to spend,
these offers will differ greatly. If this is unfamiliar territory
beware of spending large amounts on a website as that is the easy
part.
Regardless of the opportunity you choose, do your research. Use the
internet to research the owners name. Read the comments about the
owner, but a word of caution, people love to complain so take your
time. Research the company and if there are testimonials in the sales
page, link on to their web page and send a brief email. If their site
is down or you get no reply it should speak volumes. Do they supply a
proper address or just a p.o. box number? Its an old adage but if it
looks to good to be true more times than not it is.
Remember this is your future and if you wish to be in that 3 percent
it takes continual action on your part. Study success and copy
success. The rest is up to you.
