My general saying is if it sounds to good to be true it most likely is. I have never heard of anyone actually making money this way. You may want to try searching for a website called rat race rebellion to see if there are any legitimate ways to make some extra money. I know you can make money doing surveys and on mturk. None of these will make you rich but you may end up with some extra pocket money for sure.

Thank you for that site I find the survey sites do pay but then alot of them screen you and for some reason they say you don't qualify. Or they have a few surveys off the bat and then they dont send anymore its weird. Do you have any other sites in mind?

I would stay away from envelope stuffing, they are scams. You have buy there material, then spend hours stuffing envelopes, plus ontop of that you will spend more in postage then you will make. It isn't worth it, I know have done that before a long time ago before I realize that they was scams.

How long ago did you do this? I really think there is nothing out there anymore as I read before they have machines that can do that 20 times quicker than any human could.

If it wasn't a scam you'd have lots of people doing it but you never hear anyone making money that way. No I haven't tried it but it's the oldest scam going around just do a search for stuffing envelopes and you'll find out.

Hello. I have seen programs like that. Yes, I would still say, it would be wise to do a bit of research on that before deciding to take it. If the program you are looking at at is free to join, that would be fine. If there is a fees to join, good to take time researching and checking, I would say.

I know I really don't want to put any money into but its so hard to find a legit one. I assume the ones you don't pay for are more legit but then I wonder if they really work. I wish more people were truthful and honest. But I guess then I wouldn't be asking this question

From what I have heard and seen in the internet...most of these stuffing envelope opportunities are scams. Companies generally wont pay you that much or seek out home workers since it is so cheap doing it in their own place. Scammers will entice you with big profits if you sign up and send them the money they ask. After that, they either will stop responding, or they will send you instructions and envelopes that you have to send out to other people, enticing them to send money to the owner of the scam, and then you will only profit once those people send in their payments. Of course the owner of the scam will not pay you.

Wow this isn't looking to promising. Thank you for that input I read something like that saying the companies have machines that stuff envelopes and do a mass amount in a short period of time so why pay a person that will only do 1/3 of what the machine can do. Oh well it was worth a shot
