I am looking for a new job, and working from home is extremely appealing. I have been looking at postings on careerbuilder, and some of them sound too good to be true. Most of them require a start up membership fee. I am a little leery about giving my credit card number to a company I have never heard of that is promising great things. Has anyone tried these Data Entry or Survey Taking Jobs? Are they worth the risk and investment? Thanks for your help. :-)

What can I do next?

Hi, E.~

I work from home and I absolutely love it! I was previously a Director for a foster family and adoption agency and knew that I didn't want to carry a pager 24/7 when my son was born (now 11 months). There are many scams out there and then you get a million spam emails after requesting info (even on career builder unforunately). If it sounds too good to be true, it is! In my search, I found a great team of moms called Freedom United. We are all working from home across the country with an incredible wellness company and market on and offline. The work is easy to learn and the training is free! Please let me know if you'd like to learn more.

All the best to you!

Hi E.,
I am not sure if you had any success in launching a home based business...but like you I have been looking for a way to earn some extra cash. I just earned some cash and am sharing the info with you..the earnings just appeared in my Paypal account! What I like best about this opportunity...no fees, no cash layout, no meetings, etc. If you have a Facebook and Paypal account you can get paid. Either send me a message or contact Marie at ____@____.com for more information.

Hello E.,
I, too, was looking for something out of my home and hoped the on-line companies would help, but many are scams so please, please, please do not pay anyone or give them your credit card information. Can you imagine going into a job interview and the manager telling you to pay to work for them? You should never have to pay to get a job,,especially one that helps you stay home with your family.

I've tried many home-based companies and finally found the one that has helped me and I've made wonderful friends, co-workers, and yes, some money along the way. PartyLite has been a life-saver for me in many ways and it would be selfish of me not to share the opportunity with you. It does not cost anything to start, there is no risk to try it out, and I've met my best friends while working. Everyone on my team is a stay-at-home mom (so far) except for me. They love their business and are able to work it from their homes without having to leave home often.

I would be glad to give you more information. I'm hosting a kick-off on 7/30 at Round Table in Los Gatos and would be glad to have you join us.
You can visit me at www.partylite.biz/jlongoria

The product is wonderful, the company is very supportive, and the people are fun to work with...what a concept :)
Hope I can help.

Hi E., I hope you have found a home based employment that fits in with your family situation. I would again like to recommend medical transcription as a great way to work at home. I just wanted to update my reply to you to let you know that I met 10-15 people at my Holiday Boutique Saturday who are looking for ways to earn extra money and to have a "Plan B" just in case something happens with their jobs. I am inviting people to come to my home for my Referral Co-op "Coffee Breaks". Over a cup of coffee or tea (cookies will be served! :o), I can explain how with very little out of pocket expense, you can learn to maximize/leverage the very generous compensation plan of XanGo to build a profitable home-based business and help others to do so as well. It is not a big time commitment for you because I have the meetings in my home, and you "refer" others to me. If you love to help people, now is the time to find out how you can do that as a XanGo authorized distributor. With the job market being what it is currently, many more people are looking at network marketing as a risk-free and recession-proof way to supplement income and qualify for other rewards that XanGo offers. I would like to invite you to come to my home in San Jose (or I can come to yours if more convenient) to go over this easy to learn system to improve your life as well as the lives of others! Sincerely, V. Garnese XanGo 1K ____@____.com

I look foward to hearing from you hopefully in the near future! V.
