It would help me if you told me what company you’re actually referring to that is asking you for $29-$39.99
But I’ll take a guess and assume you’re referring to http://www.GoWealthyAffiliate.com If that’s the case, they’re not charging you to work for them. It’s an educational site just like taking an online college course
but not as expensive. WA is a site a for people that want to learn how to be a successful affiliate internet marketer:

This is a skill that needs to be learned to be successful just like a lawyer must pay and go to law school to be a competent lawyer.

So If you’re not interested in such a business or career then you don’t have to pay for it. You can just stick with traditional jobs like the one found on our companies page:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/companies

But just be aware that just because something charges a fee it doesn’t always mean it’s a scam. It could be a home based business or an educational site. In which case it makes total sense to charge a fee.
A job however should never charge fee. So just keep this distinction in mind. People like making that blanket statement about fees and not providing clear guidelines and clarifications.

Hope this helps you.

Take care.

The following businesses seem to have a lot of supporters:

Pretty straightforward and nothing left to be said here on that company.

MySurvey.com is part of Taylor Nelson Sofres PLC (TNS). TNS is ranked as the world’s largest provider of custom research and analysis…TNS has been collecting the opinions of U.S. consumers since 1946 as National Family Opinion and then NFO…

Search for their parent company in the BBB leads to this report:
http://www.bbb.org/cincinnati/business-reviews/market-research-and-analysis/tns-nfo-in-cincinnati-oh-6028/

So both companies are listed with the BBB in good standing for whatever that’s worth. lol Many websites you visit are in fact under a larger corporation and just doing business as that domain name you see. So when you’re doing research on a given site, it’s a good idea to look at their about us section to see if they’re part of a larger company. You wouldn’t really know to do this unless you’ve had some years of experience in this industry looking for work at home and avoiding scams as I do. So I can totally see how this can happen.

In terms of Project Pay Day, the principles they teach can work and make you money. However there are steps that must be strictly followed otherwise you’ll end up losing money. This is why get paid to try offers are often labeled a scam. As a result, we’ve actually provided some tips to avoid this problem in the following article:

So people that do venture into these type of work at home opportunities can avoid the pitfalls of those who aren’t aware. Now with that said PPD does have some other flaws that should definitely be considered. So there is no argument there. At the end of the day I always like to dig a little deeper to see what these so called claims of scams are. Because in my experience, many people like calling work at home companies scams if they don’t understand how to use a given opportunity OR can’t make money with it. However they aren’t quick to do the same when it comes to offline companies. But to each their own.

I’m glad you’re enjoying our scam information. But our site is filled with legit work at home opportunities including surveys. It’s just a matter of putting aside a few hours to read it. Here are some articles you should read right now to help you find legit surveys:
