   YES! There are legit work at home options…….I looked for 2 years before I found a good one! Learn from my experiences….lol
   I’m a stay at home mom of two little girls a 1 year old and a 3 year old. I work about 15-18 hours per week for a National Medical Benefits Company. I have been with the company for 6 months and am now making over $2500 a month! In your first month, depending on how many hours you can work I have seen people make anywhere from $500-$2000. And your income will increase each month because we get paid residual income as well. If I continue on as I am going at the end of my 2nd year with the company I will be making $75,000 a year! My friend Becky started 2 years before me. She is now making $95,000 a year.
   The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit and a benefits package. In addition, there are no products, no hard selling or pushing, no cold calling and no telemarketing! That was VERY important to me.
   I absolutely love working with them and I can’t believe I am making what I am making and in so few hours per week. The neat thing is there are other people on your team that you work with so you are never alone. The support is great but I have made wonderful friends as well. I think that’s important too, especially being at home!
   I was a bit apprehensive at first because I know a lot of companies are not legit but this company is the number one National Medical Benefits Company in the US. They are a member of the US Chamber of Commerce which is very impressive. Also they were featured in “The New York Times”, “Wall Street Journal” and the “American Medical Review”. Even “60 Minutes” with Morley Safer did a big special on them!
   Even more then all this is they are accepted at over 100,000 retailers nation wide. These are fortune 500 companies like Sears, Target, Walgreens, CVS, Wal-mart and more. These companies would never work with a company that was any thing less then reputable. That made me feel very good about working with them knowing they were accepted at the stores I frequent. Also now of course being with them I get the benefits for free and I saved over $150 on my last visit to the dentist! That’s just a beautiful perk! : – )
   When I first started I just felt very safe with them…. that and my friend was already making so much money with them! But at this point I feel a sense of security financially that our family has never had before. That plus LOVING what you do? What could be better?
   Check them out! Just type in http://www.workathomeplus.net in your web browser.
   I know some people want to work from home with no cost involved. That unfortunately won’t happen as all the work from home opportunities are home businesses not jobs (Just Over Broke). We know that there is cost involved with running any business but one main reason I chose Ameriplan is because our costs are SO low. It is less then $100 bucks to start this lucrative home business and that was important to me because I didn’t have hundreds or even thousands to start a home business. I would think most people don’t as well.
   Good luck in your search. Ameriplan is an amazing company to work with so I hope you check them out!

   Work From Home jobs:
   Work from home jobs come in three catagories. Two of which are legitimate and can be done part-time or fulltime and can be either primary or secondary incomes. The third type, is highly rumored to exist, but in actuallity does not.
   1) Work from home or telecommute. These jobs are nearly identical to jobs outside the home. They are skill based jobs that require a wide range of degrees and experience. Primarily they fall in the technology sector. Network Administration, Programmers, Web Designers etc. Other industries also work from the home office, though most require at least some percentage of time outside the home office. Most people practicing these types of positions have extensive outside the home experience in the same job and now have the luxery of working from home through a company that allows them to. If your interested in this type of work the best thing to do is contact your HR department and/or supervisior and discuss how this could occur and what opportunites they have that would fit your skillset. If your company doesnt have this option, look at other companies in your field and approach them about it. Failing that, if you are an exceptional employee, you can put together your own proposal on how your working from home can be an asset to the company and yourself.
   2) Home Based Businesses. These are usually businesses where someone takes their interests and skillsets and creates a business providing a service or goods to clients. There are numerous advantages and disadvatages to a home based business. Overhead is lower than a commercial office space. You can work any hours you choose instead of being locked into standard business hours. Drawbacks include the difficulty in being able to carry out the intense workload involved in starting and growing your own business with the constant distractions that happen when working out of the same place your family lives. Also, many clients will percieve you as somehow less proffessional than someone working in a more traditional business setting. That being said, this is a quickly growing segment of the workforce as more and more people turn to home based business to supplement or be thier primary income source.
   3) This is the one that doesnt exist. There are thousands of websites, many touted on these very forums offering easy work from home positions. Taking online surveys, data entry, marketing etc. They are, without exception either out and out scams or at the very least extremely overhyped and far more difficult and time consuming for the income than nearly any minimum wage job out there. If your seeking one of these jobs, put aside your heart for a moment and what you wish were possible and think about it logically. If it were truly easy to make money from home doing these things all these places advertise, why wouldnt everyone being doing it, why wouldnt you know someone personally who does it and could show you verifiable proof that it happens? Like most things in our economy, the amount of pay you recieve from performing a service is based on the number of available people who are capable of perform the task at an acceptable level compared to the number of openings that need to be filled. If all these places out there offering these jobs are saying anyone can do it, why do they need to pay much at all to get people to do it?
   Absolutely NO company that has any semblance of credibility will ever ask for any kind of fee for you to get started. Stay away from all of these. They are all scams.
   Case in point the post below. Ameriplan is one of the more sophisticated scams out there. The people touting are usually very offical sounding and often times even belive in it themselves. The reality is Ameriplan is a a fraud masquarading as a legitimate health benefit provider. Its members pay a fee for the privledge of selling the so-called product. That there is a big warning sign, ANY company who requires a fee to work for them is counterintuitive. Furthermore, the supposed benefits the company offers are highly dubious and they have numerous complaints and outstanding legal suits.

   There are a lot of Get Rich Quick schemes out there under the heading of “work-at-home”. You really need to be careful and do your homework when you’re checking out WAH companies. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
   When you’re looking at WAH opportunities most will either be as an employer/independent contractor or an opportunity to own your own business. One area you may want to explore is doing call center work from home. Generally, you are either paid an hourly rate or a per minute rate based on the amount of time you’re engaged in a conversation with a customer. Some companies pay you as an employee while others compensate you as an independent contractor.
   I decided to start my own business by developing an information-based website. I found a company that guides you through the process step-by-step and provides easy to use software for someone who has never built a website before. I’m extremely happy with the company. This isn’t a GRQ scheme and it does involve a lot of hard work, but it is definitely paying off. Here is a link to more information if you’re interested http://wahm.sitesell.com/Lisa1.html58.ht…

   Caveat emptor applied thousands of years ago and it applies even more today.
   Travel industry is one of the most competitive around. What turned me off the most was the fact that most people travel just once or twice a year, which means I would have to have very large data base of customers to start with or very large advertising budget to develop one. These findings lead me to the conclusion that best product or service to promote was the one used by my customers every day or at least once a month.
   So, the best and the least expensive way to make money anywhere on-line or off-line is in developing your own customer base with a product that is used over and over again. To gain the customers and their confidence is fairly lengthy process and the most costly. However once you gain a customer he stays with you and keeps ordering hence you keep making money over and over and over again at no additional expense or cost to you.
   Look around you — isn’t that what i.e. beverage manufacturers do? When the bottle is empty, you reach for a new one. Or look in your fridge. What kind of ketchup do you have there? And when the bottle is empty what do you buy again? Different brand or do you stick to the same brand and the quality? Exactly the same principle applies to every reusable product.
   My advice to you and anybody who wants to make good living from the comfort of their home (I certainly do for many years now) is to investigate Network Marketing Industry. Stay away from pre-launch deals and so called ground floor opportunities unless you are already very experienced in marketing. Find yourself a company that is —
   7 stars enterprise — 1*the right reusable product not available in stores directly shipped to your customers; 2*the right timing; 3*the right management with your own successful mentor; 4*the company being at least 3 to 5 years in business; 5*the right compensation plan; 6*the right cause and the mission; and 7*the company should not be publicly traded.
   Here is one generic report about Network Marketing companies, which most of the flunkies out there hate with passion because it tells it like it is. You may want to download it. It’s free of charge to you.

   All and only the best to you and to your baby. I am a big fan of all babies of this world fathering and raising a few myself. Should you have any questions or needing more detailed explanation do not be shy to ask. Until then I remain respectfully yours.
