Article Surfing ArchiveWork At Home Opportunities: How Not To Get Burned! - Articles SurfingWork at home opportunities are out there and it is your responsibility to find the one that is best for you. Work at home opportunities are quite frequently schemes which take advantage of low income or handicapped persons. In this article we are going to try to answer the question of how to determine if work at home opportunities are scams. It's difficult to become wealthy, but sometimes work at home opportunities are enough to supplement a family's income. Also, it can be a great "part-time" job for individuals who stay home with their children. Even some work at home opportunities can replace your *full-time* income like affiliate programs, Network Marketing, etc. This brings up the question, how much honest work at home opportunities are on the Internet today? Most legitimate work at home opportunities are best described as telecommuting jobs/affiliate programs. How can you tell which work at home opportunity is legitimate? Before you spend anytime or money on work at home opportunities you need to make sure that they are not scams. First, you can check with the Better Business Bureau (http://bbb.org) and see if the work at home opportunity you are researching is listed. If the company is listed see if they have any complaints. Companies like SFI (Strong Future International), Life Force International, Freestoreclub, Freelife, Isagenix, Success University, Empowerism, etc, have been around a long time and are members with the BBB (Better Business Bureau) in good standing. Stay away from work at home opportunities that have a lot of complaints. Another way you can check a work at home opportunity is to do a Google search. Log onto http://google.com and type in the search text box *is work at home opportunity a scam*. For example if you want to see if SFI is a scam type (including double quotes) : *is SFI a scam*. If you get a lot of results, then click on a couple of them and see what people are saying about the business. If a lot of the comments are bad then it is a warning sign to stay away from that work at home opportunity. Lastly, another way to check work at home opportunities is to look at the Forums. Check forums such as http://www.moneymakergroup.com, http://scam.com and http://erichw33.proboards53.com/index.cgi to see what people are saying about the work at home opportunity. If a lot of comments are saying that the work at home opportunity does not pay on-time, does not pay at all or even changes the rules or structure of the program, then I suggest stay away from them. Most likely than not, the work at home opportunity is a scam. Also, stay away from autosurfs and HYIPS (High Yield Investment) programs. These so called work at home opportunities are nothing but PONZI schemes and you will lose money with them. Conclusion: You can make money with some work at home opportunities on the Internet, but you need to do your do diligence by checking each work at home opportunity carefully. Otherwise, you can lose a lot of your money and time.
