Ha me again,
Just wanted to ad, Hey Cheryl being mentally slow is natures handicap. We could’nt have people like you winning ALL THE TIME could we? Not having control over losses sucks tho. My last loss was a joke, this loss I’m in the middle of is a nightmare. Hang in there!

Hey Eddy,
It’s me again, roomate managed to borrow on future work to get rent. (whooooooohooooooo) we have a roof for Xmas. Sorry about the dr. moniker but if all those scammers can claim to be dr’s, well what the hey?
just wanted to say thank sooooo much for the bailout (the page is still blank past post #73). I may not be able to do much but I can be a guide. I have always looked deeper into things than normal “programing”. I have an above average understanding that helps define reason. If I could just get the lotto to adapt your bailout selection process, well that and buy a ticket.
I don’t know if this is out of line for this post but I have been trying to sell my stuff (rather than lose it) on craigslist. All I am getting is SCAMS in response to my ads.
Thanks to info on this site, it is much easier to spot scams.

Hi Eireen,

No I haven’t. But I don know how you can figure out if any of these websites are scams. Visit our scam video on the following page:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/scam and follow the easy steps listed in there.

I was able to find information about both both websites you mentioned within seconds of using the steps in the video and you will too.

You should also read our ask page:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/ask

We make it very clear you should never buy typing or data entry products and you can read why there. You should also read all the other questions there as well. It will help you avoid a lot of mistakes.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jim,

Thank for chiming in.

You’re taking the right steps in doing your research. All people should do so when dealing with work at home. By the way you should probably check it our our scam video:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/scams It will add to your arsenal of doing scam research.

Our BBB article will probably be helpful to you as well: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/2008/01/14/bbb-work-at-home/

By the way, I’m glad I came up clean. lol But I’ve been doing this for many years and fortunately I’ve had a lot of big names (AOL, Businessweek, The BostonGlobe) that have backed my efforts: http://www.workathomecareers.com/aboutus

But I’m sure in time there will be a few “haters” that will claim that I’m a scam despite all the people I have helped avoid and fight scams:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/scams

So as long as people take what they read on the internet with a grain of salt, I think the truth will always prevail.

OK!
I’m holding my breath, I found a guide position on about.com involving computers. Had to apply. I made up an article to apply with and can only hope it gets attention.
As for how long? Today, Tomorrow, who knows if or when.
But at least I found one to apply for. That’s 100% more than yesterday (ok last week).
As for all the scams or “are they legit”, I have learned to use the “bbb” and “whois” search among others. Good news Eddy, you aren’t in them .

Eleanor,

Do a search in google.com for becoming an expert or guide and you should find some more sites that offer similar opportunities.

In terms of the lack of a response from About.com that just comes with the territory when applying for traditional work at home jobs.

I’m sure they get tons of applications all the time and can’t possibly reply back to everyone. Don’t let it discourage you or take it personal. Just keep plugging away and in the mean time, work with companies that have readily available opportunities like the ones we personally recommend on our articles page:

http://www.workathomenoscams.com/articles

Many people are making money exploring those options while still searching for that all elusive traditional work at home job.

I hope this helps either way.

Hey Wendy,

Don’t fret! If you love writing so much why not get into blogging like yours truly?

Even if you know nothing about blogging like I did, with the right training you can eventually do very well: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/blog_profits_blueprint_recommended

The other route you can take is visit freelance websites like the one found in the following article and offer your writing services to website owners:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/international

Or you can visit sites like the ones listed on the following pages and write for them:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/2007/08/29/is-heliumcom-helium-a-scam/
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/2007/10/03/is-associatedcontentcom-associated-contentac-a-scam/

So if you’re a person that loves writing you actually have a lot of options. So don’t sell yourself short. As long as you’re welling to explore all your options you can make money writing.

If my my dumb ass can make money writing as eloquently and properly as I do (insert sarcasm here.) , then anyone can! lol

Good luck either way and don’t give up.
There are so many ways of making money at home and many of which we list on the following page:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/articles

You may even want to consider a career as an affiliate which would also make great use of your writing skills:

Well, when I saw this in the job notices that come in my mail, I thought to myself “Way cool! I can do one of the things I really love to do”
That is writing. I write alot in several journals that I keep.
I went through the list and didn’t find anything on the list that I had alot of experience with.
When you need someone who knows about art or beadwork, let me know.
I’ve been creating art for over 40 years now, and bead work for over 20.

I’ve had three one woman shows. All without the benefit of going to a university. Immagine that.

Anyway, it was a nice thought while it lasted.

Hi Cheryl,

Thanks for contacting me.
I’m not much of an SSI expert but some folks chimed in on this topic on our work at home for disabled section which may be very useful to you:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/2008/01/23/work-at-home-for-disabled/

Hope it helps.
