I am always skeptical of these adverts offering you $4000 plus a month or however much it may be working from home because it is always so hard to find out what they actually want you to do. They give nothing away in their web address and even less on thier homepages. a lot you have to sign up for before finding out anything at all. Some of these you have listed here have provided a small insight BC but others have not explained a thing. I am still very hesitant to check these sites out. A great idea but more info needed I feel.
Cheers,
RJ

I have been conned once or twice in the past. It is so easy to be taken in by some companies, so it is good to know you have checked these ones out.

There are many pros and cons to making money at home. Doing your homework is always the first step. If you decide to work from home online then dedication is a must. It sounds great to work from home but it’s not as easy as you think. Distractions are your biggest challenge: let me get a coffee, personal phone calls, TV on in the background and you have to check something out you just heard, got the munchies want something to munch on. The list goes on and on. – Dedication is the key and training your mind to think work not home is not easy. Anyone with a computer can work from home, making money at it is another thing all together. Just my opinion and only my opinion – Life is what You make it for only YOU control YOU!!! Cheers Bertie

Thank you everyone for your support and comment!
@ RJ Chamberlain–You have every right to be skeptic about work at home opportunity. The main point is: these five companies passed the scam test from Better Business Bureau. If anyone needs more information, he/she should always check out the sites thoroughly before making a commitment.
@ Bertie–I agree with you completely!!Only YOU can make the decision for yourself!

Thank you everyone for viewing, and comment!
@ Annie Hintsala,
If you actually read the article, these companies provide you a chance to be a customer representative, sales person, tech support person, or data entry person! What they “did”? They are providing you a chance to be employed and you will perform your jobs according to what you’re qualified for…
If you’re interested in these kind of jobs, I suggest you to read the FAQ carefully! Don’t just scan over them, and make quick response!

This is good info. I had checked into three of these companies; unfortunately they require a DSL hookup and do not accept satelite hi-speed. But they are indeed legit, and have excellent on-line training as well. Some even pay you for training time. There are more of these types out there too; Bottom line is, “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” Thanks for a good write.

I liked your article. Many people are afraid to go out and get on the work force. Many people can’t physically, but are smart enough to. It would also give them an oppurtunity to work in a way they can.

I have been on computers for my entire life. Love this sort of writing with excellent suggestions.
The companies that I have PROFITED from online – none.
The company that have brought in some decent return ( but outlay is higher )? Ebay.
The company that brings in a dollar a month – Triond.
I would love to find a firm paying $1000 per week i.e the just above weekly average income for an Australian.
Any suggestions?
These I will definitely check out, though. Thank-you . j

Everyone is looking for safe, reliable work that gives them opportunities to be with their families/friends. I’ve been on Triond for months but this is the first time I’m actually getting into things. It was a little overwhelming at first and I had a lot of stuff happening.
I liked the article, I do hope to see some money the more I get into this site. I understand it may take time before any real amounts of dollars are coming my way. This is a learning time, that’s fine. I am happy to see that with the country go to Hell in a handbasket that people losing their jobs are doing serious homework into the work from home areas. Commuting is far too stressful, time consuming and wastes fuel, not to mention all the crazy dangerous drivers out there!
As mom to a soon-to-be 8yr old, and with family demands requiring I stay at home, I need some form of decent income. Doesn’t have to be ten trillion dollars a week. (Don’t we all wish?!) Every penny you earn is still money in your pocket. Remember that.
Thank you for this interesting post.

This was a good article with some good information. I would be skeptical of some companies offering work from home though. I believe it is always a good idea to do some homework and check companies out before you sign up for anything. I have found that in most cases they ask you for payment for something upfront before you can even access their data base. If you have to pay for a job it may be a scam. I have not heard of some of these companies before though, so I think I will check out a couple of them and see what they are really all about.

Convergys went on a campaign of getting rid of people with any health problems, right before they tried to talk their U.S. employees into working at home. That was never their plan – they were only avoiding the law by getting these people into that program. Those jobs all went to Korea.
Anyone who doesn’t believe this needs to get a phone or an internet connect that reaches Korea. You can reach Convergys employees easily there.
Convergys is merely a symptom of the Reaganomics rot that is America.
