Tips on how to avoid being scammed, when looking for a Home online Business. Scammers use phychology, and prey on vulnerable groups, e.g. sick, unemployed, low or no income group, and many more. Scammers prey on your desperation. Therefore being vigilant is of prime importance when searching on line for a Home Businss. Perhaps you can't leave home or you want a change in what kind of work you do. You've seen advertising for work-at-home jobs but are afraid to commit due to worries concerning scams. Sure, not all work at home sites are scams, but most are.
Avoid Business opportunity sites that claim unrealistic income possibilities e.g. 5,000 dollars in 5 days, are most unlikely.
Do your research. The first thing to do is to learn to View an Advertisement Effectively.
Look for logos on the site, B.B.B.( better business bureau)and or Truste.org. Check into the Chamber of Commerce.
Check that the site has contact information from independent sites. Then check on those sites, and their testimonies. Check email addresses, so you can contact them. Check if there is a physical address, this adds credibility. If you are interested in a particular Business, contact them stating your interest and await a response.
Google the company(s) you want to work for and then do some research about the company to make sure they're not a "fly by night". At the very least, the company should have a listed telephone number and be reachable during normal business hours.
Search for work at home jobs in legitimate sources: Never Google "work at home". All you'll get are scams in return. Instead, try well-established job boards such as Net-Temps.com or authoritative books like The Work-at-Home Sourcebook.
Educate yourself. What kinds of jobs and industries really use home workers? With a little bit of research, you will quickly learn for example, that working at home is common in the medical transcription industry, but there's no such job as "envelope stuffing."
Avoid "start up fees": Real work at home jobs are like any other jobs, except they are performed in home offices. You don't have to pay a fee to work at Starbucks or Hewlett Packard. Likewise, legitimate work-at-home job offers do not require registration fees or payment for "instructions".
Don't expect a money back guarantee to protect you: Everybody is trying to sell you a get rich quick scheme and 99% of them are scams. Talk is cheap. If someone is out to scam you, giving your money back is not in the plan.
Understand that working at home does not require a "program" or a "system". As with any other employment, you either have the required job skills or you don't. If you need skills to get a job, visit the nearest college, vocational school, or technical school.
Use your head. If it were really possible to earn $1,000 a week assembling products at home, wouldn't everybody be doing it? The old adage still holds true: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
Look up Domain name on Domain Tools. There you can check registration details.
Look for guarantees on the site, be sure to read the guarantee carefully.
Scrutinize carefully any testimonials. Are the photographs too professional? The reviews too good to be true? Chances are they may be false.
Avoid pyramid schemes and lotteries.
Take your time before signing up for anything, there are many legitimate Online Home Business opportunities, keep your eyes open , you will soon be able to distinguish between the Scams and the legitimate Business opportunities.
Working at home can provide a lot of flexibility. You can work when you feel like it, and if you have children, you can schedule your work day around their activities. Unfortunately, working at home can also be a negative if you don't know how to organize your time and you become distracted. Even if you have young children at home, you can be successful when you work at home by following certain steps.
Get dressed and ready for work as if you are leaving the house. By doing this, you are transitioning yourself from home to work mode. Additionally, if you dress for work, you will take yourself more seriously and maintain a work place attitude. Working in your pajamas and slippers will only motivate you to go back to bed.
Set yourself up for success by creating a work place where you can separate yourself from the rest of the house. If you are able to seclude yourself in a separate room--assuming someone's watching the children--then do so. Otherwise set yourself up in an area of a main room. You will have to remain disciplined about becoming distracted. You should also set yourself up with the necessary tools and resources to make your job easier. If you will be working online, you will need a comfortable and organized work station, high speed Internet, and access to a tech for troubleshooting computer issues.
Set a schedule so that you remain disciplined. If you focus on specific objectives, then you will avoid distractions. Without a schedule, you will be less likely to complete projects, and this may result in you working late to catch up, or worse, you may have to add it to the next day's workload.
Be professional even if you have children at home. If possible, you should schedule your calls during nap times or when the kids are watching a movie. Ideally, you should communicate primarily via e-mail or instant messaging.
Avoid distractions during work hours. Don't justify house work by saying it will just take a second. Folding the laundry or loading the dishwasher can wait. You are on work time, and if you allow yourself to catch up on chores, you will be getting behind on your work. Additionally, get a business phone line and screen your personal calls. Only a sick child or an important appointment should divert you from your work.
Don't allow yourself to become isolated when you work from the house. If you begin to feel cut off from the world, then treat yourself to a jaunt outdoors. You could even schedule something at the end of your day so you don't feel guilty. Take the children to the park, or meet up with a friend. Avoid jaunts during your work hours because you may lose track of time and find yourself working late into the night to catch up.
End your day as scheduled, and pick up where you left off the next day. Don't allow your work to consume your family time. Your children and spouse may feel neglected and resentful.
Realize that other opportunities do exist in the world, and millions of people are already pursuing them.
Begin searching around on the internet and see just how much really is out there. At this point the only thing you should be investing is time. This can be quite an eye opening experience.
Decide just what niche of the internet that you think you might be interested in, and research! You can never research enough, remember..at this point do not spend any money!
You may come to a point in your studies and realize that some insider information from a mentor of teacher could and will pay off and could shorten your learning curve, but be careful! The internet can be a lot like the wild wild west, and yes, some people are just trying to take your hard earned money, but good people do exist out there, the trick is weeding the bad apples out from the good ones.
