Here are my suggestions on finding a legitimate opportunity that's right for YOU:

- Set your financial goals -- Are you just looking for extra income or a potential full-time income? How long (and hard) are you willing to work to meet your goal?

- Determine if you are looking for a JOB or a BUSINESS -- there is a distinct difference between the two and you want to focus your energies appropriately for the best results.

- If looking for a JOB, what are your marketable skills and previous experiences? If you are looking for a BUSINESS, go with your passions, things that interest and motivate you the most. 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).

- Review your budget -- know ahead of time what you are willing and able to invest into your business, including start-up costs and ongoing maintenance and promotion.

- Find a rep to contact, check out their websites, ask questions, do your own independent research. Check resources such as www.bbb.org, www.scam.com, and www.ripoffreport.com for potential scams.

I am involved in a business where the products are ECO-Safe for your household. They are Great. I have allergies and grandchildren and it was the best thing I did for my house. It knda works like buying a membershio to Sam's club and then yu can shop. But with this business you purchase the producst you need for your home that you would buy anyway in the grocery store and then spread the word. Not Hard the products speak for themselves. They do not have all the corrosives in them that harm our clothing, children, homes, ourselves, etc. You can check out my site http://www.themomteam.com/dmhinsch
They have training that involves conference calls from all over the country, so you pick up on new ideas fort he products.

Hi Natasha! It took me a while too, but there really are legitimate home businesses out there. This is the best one I've found: www.mystressfreeincome.com It's been amazing. It's simpe and it works and I can be proud of the product I'm selling because I know what it's done for me. (Even though, really, you don't do any selling....just drive traffic to the site.)

Hi Natasha,,
I also spent alot of time checking on line for a legitimate company, about 3 years of research in all. There is plenty of scams out there, but this is NOT one of them. I am now very happy working from home full-time with a powerful, high-tech, Fortune 500 company that lets you check everything out first, from the product to the proven marketing system we use, all risk-free. If you want time and financial freedom, this is the best place for you. I am committed to helping others succeed and all training is free. I also should mention this company prides itself on their commitment to personal development and serving others. Feel free to go to my website and email me from there. I would be more then happy to get in touch with you for an interview.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!
Yours in Success. Buffy

There are some legit companies for working from home... it depends on what kind of work and how much money you need to make. In my world, I can make about half if I work from home because of the daycare and transportation savings!

ACD Direct is a work from home in-bound call center. It pays by the minute and the more minutes you log the more you make. They only pay once a month, so it takes a little budgeting. I have friends who have made 45k a year doing this kind of work, when you add it the daycare and transportation savings, thats a decent income! (Not to mention all the money we spend on food and coffee!). ACD does have a 3 month waiting list, so get on and apply if you are interested.

Morex Marketing Group is another one to check into. The pay about $10 an hour regardless if you are actually on the phone or not. They do outbound calling for a website called Babytobee.com
