Here is some advice for people who would like to work from home: read others’ reviews of the company you want to work for before you start working to determine if it’s legitimate. There are many scams to watch for! Usually businesses do not require fees to work from home, except for those like LiveOps and BabytoBe, which require fees for background checks. The background check receives the fee payments, however. Some business opportunities will require a fee to get started.
One place to find information on businesses is the Better Business Bureau (BBB). It has information on companies and charities that are registered and not registered with the BBB. You can contact your local BBB or you can contact the USA’s or Canada’s site. To search, you need at least the business’s name, and sometimes the city and state where the business is located.
If the BBB doesn’t have the business, try searching on Google. Type the business name into Google. Knowing how to spell it is helpful, but sometimes the name will appear even if the correct spelling is not entered. For example, typing MaryKay will pull up Mary Kay Cosmetics.
There are also several message boards you can go to for information on business opportunities. If you are unable to find any information on the business opportunity or company you’re interested in getting involved with, you can often register and post on the message board and you will get a response. One such message board is Work from Home Mafia. This site contains information on many different work from home companies and business opportunities - and many people have posted other questions on these companies, so your question may already be answered. Work from Home Mafia also has podcasts on different work from home related topics that you can listen to right on the site or download to Itunes and listen to them from there, or put them on your Ipod.
Another message board that has a lot of information on work from home opportunities is Workplace Like Home. It has forums on many of the same companies that Work from Home Mafia does, plus some that work from Home Mafia doesn’t have, like Stewart Response Group and Ecallogy. Workplace Like Home however does not have podcasts (at least not that I’ve been able to find!)
Another way to find out if a certain work from home company or business is legitimate is to ask people that you know that have worked from home. Now obviously this may not be possible if you don’t know anyone who has worked from home - that was the case with me when I got my first work from home job with West Telemarketing. I did however, find that it was legitimate and it ended up leading to other legitimate work from home jobs - some I’ve found myself using the methods mentioned in the previous paragraphs of this article, and others I’ve found through contacts I’ve made through the work frome home jobs I’ve had.
Don’t start working frome home until you’ve read others reviews the company you want to work for on the previously mentioned sites. These sites have a lot of valuable information for people who potentially wantt to work from home, not to mention they’re a great place to network! Networking, after all, is critical whether you work from home or out of the home.
Again, don’t start working until you have read reviews of the business you want to get involved with. Working from your own home can be rewardingyou can spend more time with your family and children, not to mention save gas and wear and tear on your vehicle. This is especially important with rising gas prices. Working from home has been rewarding for me not because I’ve saved on gas, but because I’ve saved on public transportation fare. I’ve been working at home for five years now and I don’t want to go back to working out of the home if I can avoid it! I have had many positive experiences, but it does require being careful about the businesses you work for. I hope my article has helped those that want to work from home like I do!
