What do you think about the work from home jobs?

Well, I have been surviving working at home for the past few months now. Of course, I am a freelance writer, and I have been paid many times. Even Mylot paid me recently. What exactly do you mean when you say "work at home"? Many people do earn an income from home. Cheers and happy mylotting.

Hi LouieWpHs04, From what I've seen, 99% of the "work from home" opportunities are just ripoffs or scams. And it's 100% guaranteed that it's a scam if they ask you to pay for the right to use their "opportunity". There are actually a few gems out there amongst all the noise - about half a dozen that I'm aware of. Those rare few cases actually do require the prospective earner to put in some earnest effort, but one can also make some serious cash from them - enough to live on if you had to. One distinguishing characteristic of such opportunities is that they generate revenue from actual product sales, not from recruitment of ever-larger herds of "suckers". But there's still only a very small number of them that are actually worth any serious attention. Sadly for the rest of the world, pretty much all the cases where one can earn some reasonable moolah from genuine home-based work are only available to US residents. Ditto also for the MLM "opportunities" - very few of them are based on healthy business activity or individual effort, more often than not their big selling point is making "residual income" from recruiting a couple of hundred thousand OTHER poor dumb suckers to flog stuff for you (which they won't, anyway, because they ALL apparently expect to make millions from doing nothing). There's also quite a few MLM companies out there looking to cash in big-time from the "wellness" industry, supposedly as all the "Baby Boomers" retire and start spending oodles on health supplements. I've actually looked into a few of them, and in every case the warning flags went up - they are either very expensive, or disguised pyramid schemes, or otherwise milk the living daylights out of new recruits, or a mixture of some or all of these. One particular group had superb, world-beating health supplements and cosmetics, but insisted that I had to personally buy $250 worth each month to be eligible for any business commissions. How do you spell "ponzi scheme"? And again, any of them that might be (tenuously) viable, are only so in the USA. The shipping costs to other locations outside the USA are prohibitive, and the "digital products" that some of them are flogging as "alternatives" for foreign members aren't worth diddly squat - you may as well flush the money down the toilet. What all this does say is that the USA seems to be about the only place in the world where genuine, prefabricated, "work at home" opportunities are actually available, at least as far as the Internet is concerned. Not much else, anywhere else, from what I can see.

So many offers of home jobs you just dont know which one is genuine. It is so hard to choose and select the ideal ones that wilol really pay for the service that you provide.
