Top 10 Tips for recognize rightful work at home opportunities:
1. A lawful
work at home opportunity won’t ask you for any sort of “affiliation fee”–if you are asked to spend any money, it should be directly attributed to something you receive for the cost (i.e. training, background or credit check, “starter kit” for direct sales).
2. Do an Internet search on any company that you are speaking with about working at home, and see what is being said about the company.
3. If the company promises unrealistic salaries (such as $5k/week with no experience!), it is too good to be true.
4. Most legitimate organizations don’t advertise
home bussiness opportunities via infomercials, a sign-taped to a lamp-post, stop sign, or other such venue, or via spam e-mail!
5. Always check with the Better Business Bureau and other consumer advocacy organizations.
6. Look for a job with a defined job description and scope of work.
7. Ensure that the company is a corporate entity with a physical address, phone number, and business history. If there is no headquarters office, be wary.
8. If the company can’t provide employee or customer names, or you have no direct contact within the company or otherwise can’t speak with a “real person”, stay away!
9. Utilize resources for honest, unbiased advice.
10. Always trust your gut. If intuition (and common sense) tells you that the opportunity is too good to be true, it probably is.
