They’re all scams. If there really was such a thing as get rich quick things, then everyone would be doing them. I have yet to find one that’s legitimate. I know how you feel though…

Some good work at home for college students that can be done from home are writing articles, at home customer care agents, graphic designing,

As you are student and into reading and writing, you can write articles/content for content websites, they spit revenue earned from articles, so you will earn money from same articles every month. You can write articles on any topic of your choice. You need not to apply, just register and start submitting well written neat articles.

Bukisa.com

Both above one have revenue split kind of payment system

Textbroker.com

I work part time for textbroker.com writing articles…there’s really not a hiring process, just submit a sample of your work and you’ll be rated on how well you do which determines your pay per word. It only pays once a month, but there’s a lot of work and they’re always so helpful when you have problems or questions. You could easily bring in $300+ per month.

Hi there!

Yes, there are many scams online so be careful. Most of them make promises that are too good to be true and some are just plain lies.

I have successfully done real customer service work at home, on the phone, for the last 5 years. It is not my full time work (I’m a minister full time), but a great part time supplement.

I make $10 – $12 / hour for answering inbound customer service / sales calls.

I am able to select my hours 24/7 and I’m able to work for large companies like Pizza Hut, HSN, Sears, and just about ANY infomercial.

I’ve been there and done that with many work at home scams so I consider myself an expert on that too, unfortunately!

I’ve discovered over 30 companies online that really do help you start your own home based virtual call center.

Contact me and I’ll be glad to send you more thoughts and some feedback.

God bless,
Brett

“If a company requires initial payment from you in order to work for them, they are not legitimate.”

There are a few legitimate data entry companies but are not hiring and have large waiting lists (1-2yrs). The majority of data entry jobs you seen online are scams. A real company will want you to have skills inc fast typing, may want you to know MS Excel, and will usually ask that you have high speed internet. Once in a long while you may found one online on a job website but thats rare.

If you do an advanced search on yahoo, you will find previous answers, sometimes the info on these is good as the info they gave is likely to have been verified if the answer was voted as ‘Best’.

I have heard so many times before that if a company asks for money, they are not legit. That isn’t true at all. Yes, there are plenty that are and you should be skeptical when looking into your own online business, but don’t let that stop you from making money.

I have worked with Internet Marketing for over 10 years now and have been through many of the scams and before this opportunity had never really found something I enjoyed. I tried the pyramid offers, taking surveys, sending e-mails, etc. but nothing could amount to making money.

If you are interested, I have a business opportunity that is changing the online business world. Yes, you have heard promises before, but this is something different. It isn’t a pyramid scheme and they offer a money back guarantee. Why? They know if you try it you will succeed.

They not only give you the tools, but show you how to use them through online tutorials. When you have some time check out the site below.

Good luck to you!

If looking for a JOB, what are your marketable skills and previous experiences? Build a list and use that to begin your search. General rule of thumb: Never pay for a job (businesses, on the other hand, usually involve some expenses). I recommend checking out the Telecommuting Moms folder at WAHM.com for leads on home JOBS. I also have some resources for freelance work and telecommuting jobs on my Work From Home site.

its an easy way to make a few extra bucks that not a scam.

Here’s a response from OldBuddy:

I’m sure they’re not the only ones either, just the most popular. If you think about what they do it should be obvious to anyone who takes part in the rip off.

Oh I’m not saying they cheat the people who join, of course they wouldn’t do that! The scam is perpetrated against the poor advertiser that is offering a nice bonus for people to try their product or service. These are honest businessmen and women who are just trying to make an honest buck and are willing to give in order to receive.

So along comes CashCrate and TreasureTrooper to exploit them, just like Fagin in Oliver Twist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Twist ). Instead of picking up street orphans to train as pickpockets, they find Internet Surfers and train them instead. They teach them to sign up for theses offers and just before they have to pay, cancel everything and bring the money back to CashCrate and TreasureTrooper so you can keep a share.

Who do you think is making all the MONEY???? Just like Fagin, they have everyone scrambling to get a piece of the ill gotten gains.

I know a lot about this topic so please forgive the length of this reply. I have a lot of good info for you. I am a mother of two little girls who are actually tugging on my arm as I write this so I will try to be brief. Many people are looking for work from home companies. All the scams definitely create a big problem but also, there is a problem of people misunderstanding the difference between work from home “jobs” and work from home opportunities. There really are not work from home “jobs”. To get that you have to start working for a company in their offices first, then they MAY allow you to take the job home.

Most of the work from home opportunities that are legitimate offers are not an hourly pay type job. They are business opportunities that help you in starting your own business from your home.

What you should do first is to decide if you are simply looking for an hourly rate type job or if you are looking for more of an opportunity for additional income such as what you would make in your own business being your own boss from home. Many say a JOB stands for Just Over Broker and I have found that to be true as well. I never got anywhere working for others.

Small home businesses have some small costs involved, less then $100 to start is reasonable and I would stay away from those wanting $300, $500 even some asking for $1000-$5000. It doesn’t cost that much to start and run a home business so you shouldn’t pay it. The real ones will have a small monthly overhead as well. Should be around $50 a month but no more then $75. And everything should be included from your web sites to training and team support to back office accounting and booking. It’s ok to pay this overhead because it’s a business, they cost money. It’s not reasonable to assume you can run a business from home with a website and more for free so do keep that in mind as you search.

If you are coming across places that say free then I would RUN don’t walk the other way! They never are. I tried them many a times and 3 weeks later I had to buy this and 6 weeks later that. After 6 months these “free businesses” had cost me over $800 on average.

I’m a stay at home mom of two little girls as I mentioned, ages 1 and 3. I work about 15-18 hours per week for a National Medical Benefits Company. This is a home business, a nationally known and reputable home business which is what you need to make sure you are looking for. I have been with the company almost a year now and I make over $2000 a month! In your first month, depending on how many hours you can work, I have seen people make anywhere from $300 to over $3000. And your income will increase each month because we get paid residual income as well. If I continue on as I am going at the end of the year I will be making $5000 a month. My friend Becky from South Carolina started 2 years before me and she is now making $95,000 a year with this company.

The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit, life insurance and a benefits package most of which you get from day one. In addition, there are no products, no hard selling or pushing, no cold calling, no home parties and no telemarketing! That was VERY important to me.

I absolutely love working with them and I can’t believe I am making what I am making and in so few hours per week. The neat thing is there are other people on your team that you work with so you are never alone. You have great team support and you get to know the other people on your team pretty well. The support is great but I have made wonderful friends as well. I think that’s important too, especially being at home!

I was a bit apprehensive at first because I know a lot of companies are not legit but this company is the number one National Medical Benefits Company in the US. They are a member of the US Chamber of Commerce, and the National Association of Dental Plans and the owner of the company actually sits on the board of The Consumer Health Alliance to which we are also members. Also they were featured in “The New York Times”, “Wall Street Journal” “Time Magazine” and the “American Medical Review”. Even “60 Minutes” with Morley Safer did a big special on this home based business.

Even more then all this is they are accepted at over 100,000 retailers nation wide. These are fortune 500 companies like Sears, Target, Walgreens, CVS, Wal-mart, Publix and more. These companies would never work with a company that was any thing less then reputable. That made me feel very good about working with them knowing they were accepted at these stores that I frequent. Also now of course being with them I get the dental and vision benefits for free and I saved over $150 on my last visit to the dentist! That’s just a beautiful perk! : – )

When I first started I just felt very safe with them, that and my friend was already making so much money with Ameriplan. But at this point I feel a sense of security financially that our family has never had before. That plus LOV
