I have been getting alot of these work at home invitations lately and they seem to be good until you get into them.  Then they want money for you to work for them.  To me that does not make any since what so ever.  Has any one heard of a good work at home deal?  Surveys are out since they expect you to buy stuff to earn your money.

There are tons of scams and huge start up fees!!\n\nThere is also a huge difference between a home business and a home job!! And of course then there are MLM's - think MaryKay!!\n\nI personally sat down and made a list of what was imporant to me. I wanted a company that had a clean slate with the BBB, one that cared about me and my family, one that had a proven track record and was dependable, free training, great support team, no selling or stocking, and no large amount of money to start up!\n\nI am a single mom so anything over 30 dollars is big!!\n\nI have found what it is that I was looking for and they met all of my requirements. That is the best advise I can offer you!

If you are not going to start your own business, beware of all the work-at-home scams that are out there.\n\nLegitimate work-at-home programs should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask:\n\n    * What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program to list every step of the job.)\n    * Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?\n    * Who will pay me?\n    * When will I get my first paycheck?\n    * What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees?\n    * What will I get for my money?

Some are scams, but not all. Still, you should be able to find work, even from home, without having to pay if you really look.  \n\nFor instance, I am a Virtual Assistant.  I run my own home based business and it works out great!  I would encourage anyone with strong administrative skills who is a self starter to consider that option.

I originally got these from WAHM. They will not pay the bills, but they may supplement. Some pay you in entries in a drawing, the drawing is for $10,000 and is held once a year. I think because they never say how often!\nwww.harrispollonline.com Online polling for reward points\nhttp://www.greenfieldonline.com/ Online survey http://www.gozingsurveys.com/\nhttp://www.mysurvey.com/ Online survey to earn points and entries into drawings, $10,000 few times per year, do they really give away the money?\nhttp://www1.pineconeresearch.com/ Product surveys from home once or twice per month $5 each\nhttp://www.surveysavvy.com/ Online survey referral based payment, friend $2 friends friend $1\nhttp://www.npdor.com/default.asp Surveys for drawing entries $1000\nhttp://www.mypoints.com/ Surveys of shopping online and e-mails (doubtful)\nhttp://www.testspin.com \nhttp://www.shoppersvoice.com \nhttp://www.survey.com \nhttp://www.millerwilliams.com \nhttp://www.epoll.com \nhttp://www.vividence.com \nhttp://www.mysurvey.com \nhttp://www.focusline.com \nhttp://www.discoverwhy.com \nhttp://www.kidzeyes.com (for kids)  \nhttp://www.usapanel.com \nhttp://www.studyresponse.com \nhttp://www.advisorypanel.com \nhttp://www.brandinstitute.com \nhttp://www.2020research.com \nhttp://www.efocus.com \nhttp://www.consumeropinionpanel.com \nhttp://www.onlineval.com \nhttp://researchconnections.com \nhttp://restaurantpoll.co

I'm a stay at home mom too.  I spend 2-3 hours a month taking surveys and make around $20 each month from it.  If you're just looking for a little extra spending money, it's a nice way to do that.  \n\nI've listed some of the sites I have taken surveys through and actually been paid (or recieved other rewards like gift cards or CDS) on the following site, if you are interested:\n\nhttp://www.windhavenweb.com/surveys\n\nI list how they pay you, what I like and dislike about them, whether they have an affiliate or referral program, etc. \n\nThere are others out there.  Be careful though, there are also scams.  Don't sign up for any survey site which asks you to pay to access the surveys.   Also watch for language like "get paid for taking surveys AND SIGNING UP FOR OFFERS" if you don't want to have to sign up for stuff with other companies to get paid.  \n\nAlways carefully read their terms of service and privacy policy.   If in their privacy policy they say they only use aggregated info, this is GOOD SIGN they are legit. Aggregated info information that is grouped together so it can't be connected with anyones personal identification like name, e-mail, phone or address. That's what survey sites SHOULD collect.  Avoid sites that say they give, rent, or sell any personal information (info that is not agregated) to third parties (unless you really don't mind getting junk mail, telemarketing calls, and spam).\n\nAlso just recently came across a good survey ratings site that I've found very helpful:\nhttp://www.surveypolice.com/

Some of them do pay, but not very much. Although I have earned $20.00 a few times. Some pay with points that you can then turn in for cash. You definitely will NOT make a fortune doing them, but they can be fun and sometimes you receive products to try along with the cash payment. The legitimate ones you do NOT have to buy anything from. Have Fun! =-)

I have participated in several paid surveys, but they always pay by check and not Amazon gift certificates\n\nThe rule, as always, is to stay away from those that ask you to pay before you can get these surveys. \n\nLegitimate market survey companies such as Pinecone Research recruit members based on demographic characteristics -- e.g. mothers of babies 0-12 years old -- and will send surveys of products and services targeting this demographic group. Pinecone Research, however, pays only $5 per survey -- you're definitely not going to be rich with that. They can give you anywhere from 1-5 at most surveys in a month. \n\nOther companies simply ask you to answer as many research as possible, and you don't earn anything just the chance to win at a raffle (which I find lame).\n\nThe article "Earning Money from Surveys" provide a short list of legitimate market research firms and contains explanations of what to look for when joining surveys (and weeding out the fraudulent ones)\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol121/onlinesurvey.htm \n\nPinecone Research http://www.pineconeresearch.com\nGreenField Online http://www.greenfieldonline.com \nHarris Poll Online http://www.harrispollonline.com  \nBuzzBack http://www.buzzback.com  \nSurveySite http://www.surveysite.com \nSurveySavvy http://www.surveysavvy.com\nSurvey Spot http://www.surveyspot.com/\nhttp://www.internetpaidsurveys.com/

I wanted to share with you a referral I received when I asked the question \nANY web based or ANY other WORK AT HOME employement opportunities that don't require out of pocket expense?\n\nemkaymk (Yahoo!Answers user) replied back the following which I now pass on to you:\n\nhttp://www.workathomeagent.com/......\nthe only things you need are a computer, a phone line (regular, not cell), and high speed internet separate from your phone line\nit involves taking phone calls for such big name companies as Office Depot and HSN.\nI made about $1500 in about 2 months last year. \n\nRemember, thank EMKAYMK NOT me...I had my interview today and I'm going to start the certification process!!!!

WARNING!!!!! Did this company tell you tat you need to send them money in order to start working for them?  If so, di you send a monetary contribution to them to start receiveing you work in the mail?  If you have sent any money, then I am sorry to say you have just been scammed.  Many people say that they are a company and have people send money to a certain place.  Where in turn the person requesting the money receives the money in the place they asked and run with the money.\n\nDon't be fooled!  Keep looking, I'm sure that you will be able to find a place of employment that you like and will actually make money.

Don't do it, its garbage. I took some of these surveys and it says that you have to actually sign up for some of the products of the companies that you are taking the survey for. This is just a total waste of time and you make absolutely NO PROFIT!

Do you mean those advertised home-based jobs? I think they are pretty much a scam. Usually you have to buy stuff from them before you sell it, and you'll end up stuck if it doesn't sell.

You want 10?!?!?!  Most people have a hard enough time finding just 1 that is not a scam.\n\nMost people who work at home and are successful are doing one of two things - getting paid a commission on everyone they convince to join the program (also known as MLM or pyramid plans) OR they have their own business. Your own business is something you create yourself, not find on the internet. You create it based on your skills, your passions not on what someone else tells you is the GREATEST thing going.\n\nIf you are looking at one of the endless "opportunities" out there be careful - most are scams. Here are a few questions you should ask to help figure out if the one you are looking at is for real or not.\n\nLegitimate work-at-home program should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask:\n\n* What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program to list every step of the job.)\n* Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?\n* Who will pay me?\n* When will I get my first paycheck?\n* What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees?\n* What will I get for my money?

I think it's a very good site. I've found a few things on it, even under the free site...there's a lot of people out there that aren't worried about getting money for items and don't want to go through the hassle of having a garage sale....plus others put stuff on because it's free to advertise.\nCheck it out....I give it a thumb up!\nBut the items go fast....so hurry!\n\nSmileyCat : )

Finding valid, useful Work-From-Home sites is very difficult.  So many of the sites found require up-front money before you can even check them out.  Those sites are not listed below, unless another source said the site was legitimate and useful.  The work-at-home industry is loaded with scams and information of questionable value, so approach cautiously.  I suggest looking on your own for work at home scams in particular to arm yourself against any such scams...it will be worth your time (just use www.google.com and put in keyword "scam work from home).

I signed up for several 'survey' sites that promised to pay for your answers. I can't speak for all of them, but the ones that I signed up with only sent me unwanted emails, unwanted phone calls from telemarketers and only 'paid' me by sending me to other websites. I have not received a cent from any of them, and I've had to get on the "Do Not Call" list. I can ony hope things will turn out better for you.
