In a survey performed by Microsoft bCentral, internet sales and marketing was listed at the #1 home based business. Its ranking was based on high ease of entry, relatively low cost, high future demand and potentially high return.\n\nWhat should you look for in an "ideal" internet business? \n\n- No or minimal start-up fees (Our business start-up is $29.00)\n- A product or service you feel good about  (Consumable products used in every home… safer, more effective, less expensive, things people use and need on a daily basis)\n- A duplicable system (work FOR yourself- NOT BY yourself… we are a TEAM of individuals working to help others… “Enhancing the lives of those we touch by helping others reach their goals from Home!!!”\n- Residual income (Residual Income PLUS bonuses for helping others!!!)\n- Customizable web sites to promote your business  (Free website for ALL Members)\n- Free training and support  (Free Company and TEAM Training… we will work with you to reach YOUR GOALS!!!)\n- Free marketing materials and ideas (Our support team has 70 members who are there to help you every step of the way… Training and support from people who have been there and done that.  Training provided via email, internet, or telephone)\n- Company in business at least 18 months and in good standing with the Better Business Bureau (Inc 500 Company in business for over 20 years with over 700 Million in annual sales.

Hardly any legitimate companies outsource mailing to home-based workers.  \n\nBefore investing time and especially money on any home-based business offers, it’s a very good idea to educate yourself on the different types of schemes there are out there, and what to look for – and look out for – before picking a home-based business.  The Federal Trade Commission offers several advisories about home-based business opportunities and network marketing (MLM) schemes. Please review them before making any decisions:\n\n"Work at home Schemes" http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/invest/homewrk.htm \n'Net Based Business Opportunities: Are Some Flop-portunities?\nhttp://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/online/netbizop.htm\n"The Bottom Line on Multilevel Marketing Plans" http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/pyrdalrt.htm

Though they claim millions already do I have only had one online success.  eBay.  If you can buy wholesale and resell on eBay its one of the largest markets online.\n\nStuffing envelopes & etc have been proven to be hoaxes.  I wouldnt waste a lot of money trying these.  And if they are free to try I wouldnt waste a whole mess of time on them just the same.

Sorry, I have not. I actually own a business in the health/wellness industry, which is the next trillion dollar industry due to the baby boomers. That's why I chose it over selling makeup or candles, etc, because I needed stability and income potential that I could will to my children. I chose Tahitian Noni International because I did my research and found the company was documented and ranked the 4th fastest growing company ever of any kind in their first 6 years, and the product was documented by the Discovery Channel and the ONLY nutritional supplement juice found in the Physicians Desk Reference, unlike Xango or ANY other supplement juice. With all of the credibility, I took a leap of faith, and it has paid off. Also, what makes this company different is they offer access marketing. We get paid off of movies, cafes, and co-branding with household products that has nothing to do with us selling. Don't believe what other people or I tell you. Inspect what you expect. If you do thorough research like I did, you will find your goldmine. I truly believe in my company and my product, and the fact that we did over $49 million last month, have made over $3 billion in less than 10 years, and that a bottle is sold worldwide every 1.8 seconds, alot of other people do as well. Do your own research, but I will be glad to assist you if you want to know more.

I do a lot of stuff online to bring in extra cash. I just started a live journal today that shows the different programs I've used, and how well they work. I don't post scam stuff, and I post all the info I have about the program upfront.\n\nhttp://mylifeathome.livejournal.com/

If they want money upfront, then stay away!!\n\nCyberspace is simply the newest arena that scam artists have entered to widen their hunt for more people to dupe. To avoid falling for work-at-home scams, both on- and off-line, look for the following warning signs: \n\nOverstated claims of product effectiveness; \nExaggerated claims of potential earnings, profits, or part-time earnings; \nClaims of "inside" information; \nRequirements of money for instructions or products before telling you how the plan works; \nClaims of "no experience necessary." \n\nCheck the links for more info!\n\nhttp://bbb.com/alerts/article.asp?ID=436\nhttp://bbb.com/alerts/article.asp?ID=205

Thanks for asking! I am a business librarian, so I checked Hoovers Business Database to see if this company is registered to do business in Florida.\n\nThis company is not even registered in the United States, so it is very unlikely that this company is real. \n\nIf you have been asked or are considering doing business with this "company," I would highly discourage it. They are not legitimate.

Are you asking if there are any true and honest home business opportunities over the internet and why are there so many scams out there?\n\nThere are many legitimate, honest opportunities online and offline. But there are even more scams and con artists on the internet and off the internet. \n\nYou must first do your due-diligence which means your research:\n-Collect as much information as possible about the opportunity before you sign up for anything.\n-Ask lots of questions until you have a clear understanding.\n-Do background checks to confirm legitmacy. \n-And never allow anyone to force you into participating because of their agressive sales tactics.\n-Follow your instincs. Only move forward with a business opportunity when you feel 100% comfortable.\n\nThe best thing to do if you want to earn money is start your own business on the internet. I can show you how. Contact me. If you want more info. \n\nGood luck!

Although I don't have an answer for you other than what was already posted, this is actually good information to have! I was thinking of purchasing from Target.com, but after reading this apparent scam they have, I will take my business elsewhere. Thanks for asking the question and giving me some much needed insight about this companys tactics.

Many - if not most - 'work at home' opportunities are scams, frauds, or designed to make money - for the plan operators, not you - \n\nThe Federal Trade Commission offers several advisories about home-based business opportunities and network marketing (MLM) schemes.  Here are a few: \n\n"Work at home Schemes" http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/invest/homewrk.htm \n'Net Based Business Opportunities: Are Some Flop-portunities?\nhttp://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/online/netbizop.htm\n"The Bottom Line on Multilevel Marketing Plans" http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/pyrdalrt.htm\nThe Federal Trade Commission (FTC) consumer alert entitled “Take This Scheme and Stuff It: Avoiding Envelope-Stuffing Rip-Offs.” <http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/stuffitalrt.htm>

Never heard of one. If there is one, I sure would like to know who. Just think of all the work generating free leads for a company selling used buckets with holes in them and only getting paid for a sale......talk about banging your head against the wall\n\n:P

A scam as in, not worth the money, or that they take money for products they never deliver?  There's really no way to know other than to inquire whether they have a business license, are incorporated, or whatever.  Are they registered with the better business bureau.  Has the FTC received complaints about them?\n\nIf you're really concerned about them being scammers, then it would be good to contact them, and see if they respond.  Otherwise, it seems they sell coupon and discount books and memberships. There is nothing new or illegal about this business.
