The Beginning of your dream at home opportunity!

If you'd ever wanted to make some money online, even a little to help with the mortgage, rent, car payments, pay some bills or even help with taking a vacation or, like me, you've decided you'd had enough of the working for the companies that don't care, making them richer while you get a little older and a bit poorer. Well then, maybe you've decided to try your hand at making some money or even starting an at home business online. Where to begin you ask, I know I did, many times and got scammed so many times before realizing some things that will help us all out.

• If you find a work at home opportunity that you've decided you'd like to pursue, then take a few minutes and do a little research on this company/individual and look for a few things that will help you decided if this work at home opportunity is for you and not a way to separate you from your money. I know that when I got scammed, I would voice my opinion on Ripoff Reports, this is a worldwide consumer reporting website for the consumer that will file and document complaints about companies/individuals and its all free. I personally use it and have saved a bundle by doing a little research and learning about these companies before sending my money to them and only then realizing I am another victim of a scam, big surprise there. In my opinion, this website is better than the Better Business Bureau because they do not hide any reports of 'satisfied' complaints, all complaints remain public and unedited so that a working profile (history) on that company/individuals are able to be view fully. You can click here to go to the site immediately and start researching your potential dream at home opportunity before doing anything else.

• Look for trusted research companies that have already done the research on these 'dream' jobs and look at the results. Trusted names I look for are Scam-X Certified and Consumer rated.com to name a few. When a site displays a Scam-X Certified icon you can buy with confidence because Scam-X is dedicated to consumers. Their staff manually checks each site for validity before allowing any site to display the Scam-X certified Seal. What does that mean to us? Well, studies show that 77% of Internet shoppers are more likely to purchase from a trusted web site. So, spend a little time and do your research first.

• Make sure you look for the contact information because if it truly is a legitimate at home opportunity, you should be able to find their contact information easily or there could be a reason why you can't, (hint, hint). Look for money back guarantees because to be considered a legitimate at home opportunity they definitely must have a guarantee, if not, there maybe a reason for it, (hint, hint). Also consider looking at the way they accept payments and the processor they use. if a company decides to not use a reputable third party payment processor, then they will have no guidelines or agreements that they have to follow and you might have just increased their earnings and decrease yours, however companies that use clickbank and paypal as examples will follow a very strict code in terms of agreements and can face suspension or even cancellations of their accounts if there are problems.

Always remember that the best things in this life are rarely free and if you're feeling uncomfortable with it, maybe that at home opportunity is not for you. Most of us can sense an online scam and most legitimate at home opportunities will require some sort of payment to use their systems. Think of it this way, in order for you to use their software, their databases and information and have them train you too, they may charge you a flat fee up front, but you will still get paid. Also, before I go, remember that if it sounds to good to be true, it just might be. I intend to include companies here that I personally use or recommend and will 'spotlight' these regularly. In closing I would like to say that this site is a blessing to me as it marks a turn around for me and a positive change for a better life. Use your instincts (that's what they're for) and do your research and you'll be on your way to making your dreams come true while working at home.
