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:

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.

This dosent seem to settler with me very well.

My buddy Callie has a survey site that might be able to help you:
http://www.SurveyFavs.com So check them out.

In terms of your question, there is no average of how much survey takers make. As I said earlier, the surveys only come if you fit a profile that a company needs. Some profiles may be more desirable at a given time than others. And the pay varies depending on the survey network you’re part of. It’s not something you can make a full living with unless you’re combining that effort by referring others to the legitimate survey companies you’re part of.

Many of them have referral/affiliate programs you can join. But that’s only beneficial to you if you’re a trained affiliate. You may want to look in to focus groups as well which pay significantly more: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/2008/01/08/focus-groups-got-paid-150/

Hope this helps.

I thought they were going to give you a list of surveys and you can choose which ones you want to take..lol.

also, how much money on average does a person make from this site each week?

It just means exactly what it says. You don’t have any surveys at the moment. They’ll definitely email you when they do have a survey. Keep in mind you only get surveys when companies are looking for a specific demographic and profile that you fit. Hope this helps.

Currently, you do not have any items available.

I’m sorry to hear they haven’t gotten back to you regarding your payment.
I hope this is an isolated issue and not widespread. Because honestly I haven’t heard a lot of reports like this.
Nonetheless, this is troubling. What’s your user name with this company so maybe I can contact them on your behalf.
Include the amount you were owed as well. You can email privately if anything.

I contacted the company and they said that they would look into it. Still haven’t been paid. They are SCAMMERS. Avoid them like AIDS.

No I haven’t. But I’m sure you can learn a lot about this company by following the simple steps in our scam video:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/scams

Don’t invest any money an opportunity that you haven’t done your research on. The scam video will help you do that.
But based on what you told me, it’s something I would probably pass on.

I am sure it will help you find something legitimate.

Good luck.
