Legitimate Home Based Businesses

Question: Was I scammed?

I really wanted to Work at Home to earn some extra money. So I sent my money in to some place that I found in the back of a magazine and they promised they would send me materials and things to work from home and start up a little business. Well they finally sent those "materials" to me and all it was, was a friggin book that listed OTHER Work at Home opportunities that are available that I could have researched and found on my own. Was this a scam??? Are ALL Work at Home opportunities a scam? Please I only want to hear from real people and not someone out just advertising their Work at Home business.

Answer: You were scammed and you know it.

The places that legitimately let you work from home find you, you don't find them and you definitely don't pay!

Question: I am wondering if anyone knows of a legit Home Based Business that involves little start up costs?

I am looking for something that I can do from home to pay off debt. I don't need to become a millionaire. I need something that will not rip me off. Please no surveys, I've been down that road.

Answer: LOL No surveys?? You aren't happy with the 5 cents a day you can earn on them?

A previous poster was correct in that we're not allowed to advertise our own individual businesses. I can say that in general, Scentsy is only $99 plus tax/s&h. Take some time and do your research. February is a GREAT month for starting with Scentsy.

Good luck finding something that works well for you!

Question: I want a interenet business or a job that allows me to work from home?

I am looking either to start an at Home Business or work from home. I don't feel I get enough time to spend with my kids. I don't mind either working late at night after the kids are in bed or napping. I just hate my job and want something fast and uncomplicated.
