I really want to know how to work from home without getting scammed. I have already signed up with a bunch of survey sites, but the income isn't that great. I have also used ebay some, but I'm looking for other ideas. Of course I don't want to pay anyone to make money because that automatically means scam in my mind. I just need a little extra cash and I have a few free hours each week that I can be online. Thanks! =)

There are plenty of scams out there, but just because there's an initial fee up-front doesn't mean it's a scam. I run a perfectly legit home-business that has worked out VERY well for me, and there's is a small start-up fee (less than $30). It basically covers your information kit you get when you start (and it's totally refundable if you are not happy with it in the first 4 months). Any organization has costs associated with it, so it's hard to get something (worthwhile) for free.
OK OK, you're ready to say myLot is free, Yuwie is free, Lightspeed Panel is free. Yes, and can you make a living off that? Not without spending way more than a few hours a week on it, and I still don't see that happening.
If you want the big carrot at the end of the stick you need to put a little something into it. If you're interested, check out the site on my profile and let me know what you think.

I sell AVON and it is working great for me. There is a $10 start up cost which you make back on your first order for sure. You get 50% of your first 3 orders which is great. It really isn't hard and doesn't take a lot of time for me. I have an online site as well as drop off books at stores and such which gets me a lot of calls. It might help you too. I get an easy $400 order and I figure I might spend an hour every two weeks on it. I know I could do better if I worked more hours but it is enough right now for me. Message me if you are interested.

Hello there! I have found a really good freelance website that I use and I get paid by! If you have a talent - writing, transcripting, web design, (amongst loads of others) you can sgn up to this website (FOR FREE!) and pick and choose which jobs you like the look of! You have to bid on them, but I was only a beginner and sometimes I seem ot have more work than I can deal with!
If you would like the link, check out my web page on my profile and let me know what you think!
Good luck!

Have you thought about starting/building your own internet business. I have found that that is the only way to make legitimate money working from home. Paying for typing and surveys are scams. I like working for the company I chose from home.

Are you looking to start your own business. I have found that that is the only legitimate way to make money on the internet. Everything else is a scam because you have to pay.
