Legitimate Work From Home Jobs - Legitimate Business Opportunities That Make Easy Money Online
There are legitimate work from home businesses opportunities that make money online. Have you ever wanted to be your own boss, or just wanted to earn a little extra cash working from home?
With so many work from home opportunities out there, how does one choose the right one? More importantly, how does one avoid getting scammed.
The general rule of thumb is, if it sounds too good to be true, then chances are it is a scam. High earning of over $5,000 in your first week are very unlikely. Beware of these baiting techniques. There are legitimate work from home jobs available. Depending on how much time you have per month, your skill level and how much you want to earn, you can easily find a well suited business.
One of the most common work at home jobs is data entry work, you can choose what kind of entry work you want to do. You could do, Transcription, Secretarial work, Data Base Management, Article Typing ,Tutoring, Response Typist, Data Proof reader, Data Collections Research, Marketing Typist etc.
Doing online surveys is probably one of the easiest forms on income. Hundreds of companies and agencies out there pay top dollar to hear your opinion and what you think. Large companies and corporations need to have independent surveys done to focus on their products and branding champagnes to see what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong to capture a market sector. No company can afford to launch a global brand that will fail. So, your opinion is worth a lot to them, hence they are prepared to pay for it.
My favourite choice is Affiliate Marketing. It is still the most profitable and easiest to operate once properly trained and setup. There are many people making thousands of dollars per day using special methods to generate traffic to their websites, which intern converts into serious sales commissions.
Why chose Affiliate Marketing as an internet home based business?
You choose which niche markets to work in
You choose which products you want to sell
You don’t need to carry any stock at all
You don’t need to communicate directly with customers
There is no capital outlay or any risks
You are not limited to working hours or time zones
You have global customers 24 hours a day
System can work on auto pilot when setup correctly
Your websites can generate continued passive income
No real skill is required, only proper training
These opportunities are low risk, and offer regular returns quickly. However, your earnings are directly proportionate to the amount of time you invest.
Which ever legitimate job you choose, you should be able to get recent testimonials from people who have previously joined the business opportunity. Avoid all MLM and pyramid schemes, they are all scams and guarantee failure.
The good news is that there are online home based business review organisations, they filter out the work from home jobs from the scams out there. Over 95% of the so called work at home opportunities are scams.
Starting up a legitimate work from home business is really easy and simple, with the right guidance and right choice of business you can really make good money on the internet.

The Dangers of Network Marketing
Posted by admin on December 4th, 2008 filed in General
Things to Avoid In Network Marketing
Ever heard the old expression, "The only way to find out how to do it Right is… Do It Wrong"? And… as the great Jim Rohn says, "But don’t let it take too long".
Well I’ve had sufficient misadventures in the world of MLM & Network marketing to have arrived at a basic understanding of the landscape, so to speak.
The Old-fashioned Method
Most people have heard of Amway, Nutrimedics, Herbal Life, etc. and they are very much, product-based companies where members/affiliates had the following tasks to earn a commission:
- Find and enroll new customers
- Chase up all customers for each monthly order
- Take delivery of all customer products each month
- Deliver monthly products to customers
- Harrass customers for money each month
As you can see, many of the above tasks are guaranteed to keep you away from the beach, your kids, the squash court, not to mention greatly reducing quality time spent with ‘your significant other’. They also required all affiliates to purchase product every month regardless of need for said product.
The Newer Networking Modus Operandi
Then new ground was broken by Melaleuca Inc. with their Direct-to-Customer approach, whereby once the affiliates had done the initial work of presenting and introducing the company’s products, and signed up new customers, the new customers dealings for monthly product orders were direct to the company.
Naturally this was a huge improvement on the old system. However it still had the major drawback of requiring you, the affiliate, to order regular monthly quantities of products. Frequently, the required monthly product order escalated sharply in accordance with the affiliate’s commission.
Qualities Needed to Become a Product Networking Guru
Yes, you can make 5 figure monthly incomes from schemes like http://www.melaleuca.com/, however the company will never tell you what minute percentage of affiliates earn average wage, replacement incomes. From my experience with several hundred downline customers, it is far less than 1%.
The people I have met that are very successful, relentlessly carry out the following tasks on a daily basis:
- Do a sales pitch every day to anyone who will stand still & listen
- Harrass family and friends (eventually finishing up with ‘family-minus-friends’
- Will hound you into providing them with a list of all family, friends and even the remotest acquaintences, then in company with you will ring the entire 100+ list and invite them round to your place next week!
- They will do their presentation and after they have managed signups for the few ’suckers’ who are easily persuaded, they will then harrass every single person for their list of all-vaguely-known-contacts
- They will then repeat the harrassment process until all of your recent visitors have capitulated and agreed to host an in-house sales presentation.
- Repeat the above procedure every day of their lives!
And YES…. if you have a hide thicker than a bloody rhinoceros, this method does work. However if you are like most normal people, you would move suburbs to avoid that type of business activity.
Conclusion
Fortunately (or unfortunately!) I’m not like that, and neither are most people I know. Also, the major stumbling block I always encountered was, "But hang on… you mean I have to spend $100+ every month whether I need to buy anything or not". And, this was extremely hard to promote.
Therefore I have searched & researched and reviewed a host of affiliate/networking schemes in the past 6 months and have discovered several systems that have none of those conversion problems and pay handsomely without the need to make unwanted purchases of goods and/or services each month, but more about that later…..
