Work at Home or Scam at Home?

"Right now, I'm allowing a few copies to be sold at a full 20% off the regular price. Total is $49.77 only $39.82 for a limited time." Why? If this person is truly making money from her home, why did she feel the need to produce an ebook and sell it online? Did she NEED the extra money or is it a scam? How do we know? Why are we spending so much money on all of these people who tell you on the very same page "NEVER pay anyone for work at home opportunities"? Then we send them our $15, $29.99 or $39.82, read the information hoping that somehow we found the one true GEM of information on the internet that will change our world forever. Would you have better luck if you'd have put that money into purchasing lottery tickets? Probably. $40 worth of scratch offs would likely have won you at least $3 somewhere. You buy this ebook and it may tell you nothing more than you already knew and you are still jobless and $40 has vanished on the super-highway.

Yes, of course there are real jobs out there for people who want to work-at-home. Avon, Mary Kay Cosmetics, selling candles from home or even cookies. This, Associated Content seems real, people are working writing article and actually making money from them. If you like doing sales the list is virtually endless. Procard International is one I tried. It's real and if you can sell, go for it. I couldn't sell a cookie to a starving homeless person. I don't know how to sell, I know how to give, I'm a giver. Good grief, I can't bribe my kids into cleaning their room! I love to type. I can sit and do data entry until my fingers fall off of my hands, my back cracks in 5 places and I'm as parched as an African desert. You see hundreds of Work-At-Home things out there but you don't see any that are real. I've not.

Recently I've added Telecommuting Jobs to my list of frequently visited. I did pay the $15 to get started but they have real links to real jobs with real companies. Some of which I had heard of before or visited their sites. If I want to talk on the phone I can work for several reputable companies, I just hate dealing with all of that. Currently I do have a full time job. I am a Polysomnographic Technician. I hate my job, simply because of the hours. I am scheduled 7 days a week, working 5-7 of them. I have a wonderful husband and two great sons but I don't get to spend any time with them. I get one hour in the morning and one or two in the evening while I'm trying to clean or get equipment ready.

There has to be more out there. There has to be a real genuine opportunity for a mom who wants to stay at home and still pay her bills. The rate of mothers staying home with their children has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years so why is it so hard to come up with something for us to do? The only way I know of at present to decide if these are real or fake opportunities is to type the company name or URL into google and put the word SCAM after it. Then it's a matter of waiting and reading. Does it ever get any easier?
