I can’t answer your question because that will vary depending on the job and industry. But I can tell you this. The work at home jobs that pay you the most tend to require a lot more specialized skills and training.
I’ve listed them here: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/2009/01/01/work-at-home-outlook-for-2009/

You should also visit the following pages for your work at home needs:

In general just start reading through this blog, everything you need is here. Spend enough time going through the material and you’ll learn a lot. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Thank you so much,

Most companies that offer work at home jobs are doing so because it saves them money. That means lower cost in payroll management because benefits aren’t part of the equation. So its unlikely you’re going to find a company that offers that. You can probably work for an non work at home company, then convince them to allow you to work at home. Then you may still be able to keep your benefits. But that might be a long shot. Sadly this shouldn’t have to be an issue if there was actually a national health care plan like there are in many other nations. People only see the value in such a plan unless you’re self employed or in a work at home job situation.

Thank you

Thanks for chiming in. I really appreciate it. I hear what you’re saying. However most people reading the sale page will see many of the other statements listed as a perceived job offer especially because most people scan pages and don’t read FAQs. (Not that I’m condoning such behavior as it’s very costly. ) So it’s not that I’m being dishonest. If I were in the business of doing so, the news would spread fast & wouldn’t receive the accolades and references I have: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/about. The fact of the matter is there are elements of the page that would make you believe that this opportunity is a job. Clearly if that wasn’t the case, the company wouldn’t have the numerous complaints. At the end of the day, they’re not being upfront about what the so-called system is. (Or they weren’t at the time of this review. It wouldn’t surprise me if they switch the language up.) But just reading the site’s name you’re under the false assumption this may be a data entry job.

That being said, it is our responsibility as the user to read these things very carefully for the elements of truth that you were able to dig up. Most of the time when this is done and due diligence is practiced, you avoid these products and many of the shady other products out there.

But thanks for sharing your opinion. I think we can both agree that these type of products should be avoided. That was pretty much the gist of the article which I think most people get and appreciate that I’ve saved them some hard earned bucks.

Q. Is this a job offer?
A. No. We are not an employer. We provide you with a database of hundreds of listings of companies who will pay you to do certain tasks or will hire you and pay you a salary. Other types of listings in our database allow you to make money on your own carrying out the instructions provided.

I’m not trying to condone the product in any way as there are a number of other questionnable practices on the site. I just think that if you write a review on the product, it should be totally honest.

Anyone that does PTC / PTR programs should be aware of this. Many (but not all) of the ads that you see are outright scams. If you see something that interest you, NEVER click on the links in the ad — instead, write it down and DO YOUR RESEARCH. Do a Google search, read forums and use sites like http://www.scam.com. You will save yourself a lot of grief — and money! It always pays to check things out first, and if a company is legitimate, you will generally find quality testimonials stating that it is so. There are more places that you can go to, such as the BBB, but this is a great start. And, as Eddy has stated above, his scams video will guide you in the right direction.

Arise is actually a legitimate company. Paying for training is common. After all that’s why folks pay for college, medical, or law school. I know a lot of people aren’t fans of the background check fee but from what I understand they are a legitimate company. That being said if any of that stuff is an issue, you can try some of the other companies listed on my companies page:

Good luck.
