    Work at home
    How reliable are the surveys that are advertised to work at home types?
    Is there any money to be made here? Is it possible for a stay at home mom
    To make anything in time compared to return?
    Thanks

    You can earn a few extra bucks, but not really enough.

    If you are asked to pay money up front, to get a booklet or "full information," please don't send any money. Such "job offers" are scams.

    Eh, it's hard to know who to trust for one thing. There are a lot of scams out there as wondergirl said. I also find that they're really not worth the time in cash. You're not going to make a living off them I don't think.

    99.9% of the time it's a scam. If you have to pay money to start earning money from surveys then it is a scam. You can sign up to hundreds of survey places, but Most of them don't pay you until after you provide several free surveys.

    So I guess there is a new thing called Powermall.. if you get really into it I guess you can make a lot of money. I don't know all the info but my mom started. So maybe do a little research on that

    It's a system where you build up people under you and you sign them up for online malls and the more people you get you get a percentage of the amount they spend while using the power malls? Do you get it? I guess its fairly new. My mother started.

    The real trick is to find people who want to sign up (for PowerMall or whatever scheme) and then trust those people to be "hungry" enough to sign up people and then those people have to sign up people and so on. If the "pyramid" breaks down at any of the levels, no one gets paid.

    And of course, there has to be a product sold in all of the networking -- a product that fills a need and satisfies a demand.

    Shaklee and AmWay are two successful MLM plans. Most fail because there is no worthy product and/or because of the pyramid breakdown.
