Is there ANY home based business that you can do online that is not a scam?
And is there any that have a reasonable start up cost?
I have been scammed and ripped off too many times to feel comfortable trying again.

Hi, zbacku!

Yes, most places that are on the Internet that advertise for you to make money from home via doing things on the Internet are scams. I'm sorry that you've gotten ripped-off so much!

What kind of education, skills and training do you presently have, please?

Most of the things that I do for a living, I would consider to be home-based. But, they are pretty skill-specific as far as the work that I do.

I do use the Internet to advertise my various businesses. None of what I have placed on the Internet has ever cost me a cent, except for the electricity to run the computer.

Thanks!

P.S I like it.
Link Disabled (http://Linkdisabled/PB7765.htm)That site is incredibly typical of all the scam sites. I would strongly recommend not spending any money with them.

Hi zbacku

Like you I got scammed when I first came into the industry and I lost £100's of pounds that I couldn't afford to loose really. It sux I know.

The one thing I noticed about most of the make money promises was, as soon as you give the cash your left on your own with no support and no real training.

I was finding it difficult and almost quit, but I perservered as I had no choice, I couldn't find work the usual way due to the Economic crisis. Eventually I did find an organisation that I am so pleased with.

I have received bucket loads of training and I am still training 2 months into the business. There is a set up cost as this is a member site but I can't praise them enough for the support I have received. I am currently working my way through 200 How to Videos in the training section to give you some scope of how good this is.

If you don't have money to invest in a member site then you could try affiliate marketing, it is free to set up in most cases and can generate you money that way, that's how I started.

Good luck with it zbacku

Not all work at home jobs are scams. In fact, I work for several of jobs and work at home and I love it!! You just have to do lots of research.

Hi, nyieasha!

So then, do you have some suggestions for work at home jobs that are legitimate?

Thanks!

I work from home after creating a website. It takes a lot of work, but it's very rewarding.

Hi, bestcarrentalti!

Would you mind sharing what the work is that you do from home, please?

Thanks!

I built a website with SiteBuildIt , which gives information on car rental policies and tips on getting better car rental rates.

So, how do you make a profit using the site that you built, if you wouldn't mind sharing something about that, bestcarrentalti?

Thanks!
