You’re quite welcome. I’m happy to hear you’ve taken action and already started making some money. You have a great attitude about these opportunities. They’re good starting points and I’m sure you will continue to build on them because you have the right mindset. By the way no offense taken by your skepticism. I know there are a lot of shady people out there. So I know I’m guilty until proven other wise. Fortunately you didn’t let your skepticism or negative experiences in the past blind you. Too often because of people’s skepticism and negative experiences they won’t even give the stuff I’ve recommended a try to see if I’m on the up and up because they’re so jaded. Sadly a lot of those people could have been helped if they were more like you and balanced. So I’m happy you didn’t end up in that camp. In any event, have a great night. Continued success to you. Let me get back to work. I have an article that I’m publishing in a few minutes. Hopefully you’re a loyal subscriber: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/subscribe

Eddy,

Thanks for the advice. By the way, because of you/your site, I did join swagbucks, hits4pay and clixsense. They all only take minutes daily and I’m building up cash in my accounts, slowly, but building just the same. Because those sites proved to be “real” (no offense, but I am a skeptic by nature), you’ve made a believer out of me and when I remember to do it, I take a look around your site to find more.

Well, I can be, am, quite a talker (typer), so I guess I should wrap this up and just say good night and thanks yet again.

I’ll let you know how things go.

Glad the information help. I hear you about carving out enough time during the day. I just try to do things during down time. So instead of surfing the net for gossip or depressing news stories, I may log into something like swagbucks or mysurvey and bang out some work real quick. It’s just a matter of reminding yourself. You may want to set up a little a little alarm on your computer or phone to remind you. In any event, I’m glad to see you’re taking action. That’s how to succeed at this stuff. At least you know you have options. There are a lot of people out there that don’t know about this site wandering about aimlessly. You’re already ahead of the pack so continue to take advantage of the information.

Eddy,

Oddly enough, I’m already checking out your recommendations. Thanks. And, yes, your reply does help. I hear you on the multiple streams; I get it. The real challenge for me is finding and committing time daily to the pursuit of drawing income from online, work-at-home opportunities.

Thanks again.

Honestly I haven’t really kept up with them. So I don’t have any new feedback to provide. My staple for surveys has always been mysurvey:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/2007/09/11/is-mysurveycom-nfo-aka-my-survey-a-scam/
That being said keep in mind surveys aren’t really consistent money. If you’re not part of the demographics they want, you won’t get many. So I wouldn’t depend on them too much. At the end of the day, always just follow the steps in my scam video:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/scams and do your research on any of these companies.

There are a lot of shady survey companies out there and they’re not all built the same. So research is paramount. I would encourage you to broaden your horizons when it comes to making money online. Try to have a lot of different streams of income coming in from multiple legitimate opportunities. Don’t limit yourself to surveys only. Visit my recommendations page for more options:

I hope this helps. I’m glad you appreciate the site. Good luck.

I have signed up for and kept up with very few survey companies, primarily to find out how legitimate they are before jumping in with both feet. Recently, I acquired more than the minimum cash out amount @ Surveyhead and I’m awaiting my first “payment” into my Paypal account.

Having said that, now that it’s been a couple of years since you joined Synovate, what has your experience been with that company? Are you still pleased with them? Have you received payouts from them in a timely manner? I was thinking of hitting the survey route harder than I have in the past and this is one of the companies I was looking at, but thought I’d check out your site first for any articles on them.

I’m glad to have found your site and thank you for all the FREE information you share with us all.

S C A M !

Welcome to the work at home industry. It’s notoriously competitive and jobs come and go in the blink of an eye. As you already know, we’re in a recession. So the competition for these jobs are even greater than before. Employers are often flooded with responses once their job becomes available on the web. Once they receive a good number of quality candidates to review (which happens very quickly), employers then remove the jobs because they’re just overwhelmed with responses. As someone that hires work at home seekers from time to time, I speak from experience. It would amaze me how fast my mail box would be filled. You pretty much want the bleeding to stop, so you pull the ad.

In terms of the background check not every company does that. VIPDesk doesn’t:

However other companies like Arise have this practice. I know it’s a sore spot for many work at home seekers. But every company will have different policies that we may or may not agree with. I just know from experience that Arise is a legitimate company. At the end of the day when people are asking for fees, it’s always a good idea to do your research because most of the time the companies are probably trying to sell you something or misrepresent a product as a job. (Arise isn’t one of those companies.) But it’s better to be safe than sorry. I’m not sure if you had some time to familiarize yourself with my scam page. If not please head there now http://www.workathomenoscams.com/scams . Watch the video, read the articles and the comments listed there. Then you’ll be better equipped to determine which of these companies are actually legit.

At the end of the day I wish I could tell you that jobs won’t be filled or pull down quickly. But that’s not the reality of the situation. If landing a work at home job was that easy, most people wouldn’t choose to leave their families to spend 8 hours of their day making someone else rich. This is part of the territory. You’re bound to repeat this cycle many times over until you finally get a bite. As a man of God I’m sure you’re very familiar with his favor. Just continue to push forward and have faith that you’ll beat the odds and find the perfect work at home job.

I’ve done my best to help you with this by providing you with the following:

Leads every Friday:

So you have a multitude of options, continue to use them. Be mindful of scams or ads and eventually you’ll find something. It may take months or longer to achieve this but if you stay vigilant it can happen. That being said there are other non-traditional opportunities you can take advantage of during this search: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/recommendations

It may or may not be something for you to explore. It ultimately depends on your preferences. In any event I hope this helps you.

Take care.
