how long have you been doing part time works at you are home?

I've been involved with freelance works and other online money making programs for the past 4 months now since I resigned from my work last January.

I have just started so working from home part time on some of these websites is so very new and some what scary to me. I have already started to find what sites are not good and what ones have potential. I have found that the only sites that i am able to do with out spending anything or having to sign up for offers is mylot and associated content both of which i have seen pay outs from or atleast the potential to get the payout at theend of the month. I tried a site called cashcrates and thought it was great just do the surveys and you get paid WRONG i kept doing the surveys and not seeing my balance change and then got a phone bill for my house phone and one of the surveys put a 17.00 charge on my house phone bill because in the survey it asked for a contact number and that was the number i put and i had to fight with my phone company to get the charges removed since i did not autherize that site to charge my home phone. Its sad to see companies take advantage of people like that and it makes it sometimes not worth the effort of trying the sites people recommend.
