As the internet has grown, so has the reports of work from home scams.  When you are looking for work from home opportunities you might well hear that some people have been victims to work from home scams.  There are some scams about for sure (which is unfortunate) but there are also some legitimate online jobs where you can get paid doing work from home.  The work from home scams give the legitimate guys a bad reputation (sad but true).

Do you use the internet for online shopping or online banking?  A growing number of people do – and if you are sensible and follow certain basic precautions to protect yourself, this will stand you in good stead.  Avoiding work from home scams are just the same.  Don’t take silly risks.  Follow  some simple, common sense tips associated with the internet and in particular, with work from home jobs.

4 Best Things To Avoid Work From Home Scams

1. Avoid anything that makes promises that you will earn a bucket load of money for almost no work – or any schemes that promise to make you a squillion dollars in a very short time.  These are almost always work from home scams and you should avoid these like the plague.  Genuine work from home opportunities take work and take time – PERIOD.
2. Take up every opportunities to get free information or free reports about the opportunity before you sign up.  Importantly however,  I recommend you set up a free web based email account (eg gmail, hotmail etc) specifically to for these free offers.  There are still some mailing lists around that can be hard to get off so I only ever use my real email address once I know an opportunity is legitimate and is for me.
3. Take the same precautions using your credit card with these merchants as you would with any other online shopping.  For example, I always go through an intermediary like Clickbank or PayPal (who I trust) rather than giving my credit card out directly.  Clickbank and PayPal have secure online shopping (you will notice a padlock shows up in the corner of your screen when you use one of these companies).
4. Make sure you check out the credentials of the work from home provider before you sign up and only ever sign up to a scheme that offers a money back guarantee (eg try it for 30 days and if you decide its not for you, you can get all your money back).  On this site, you will ONLY find work from home opportunities that offer a full money back guarantee. I can’t emphasize this point strongly enough!!!



Genuine Work From Home Vs Work From Home Scams

Don’t be one of the statistics when it comes to work from home scams but don’t let that stop you from seeking out genuine work from home jobs.

If you take the steps I recommend above, you will soon see how easy it is to safeguard yourself and hopefully avoid being a victim of work from home scams.

Changing Demographics mean more Work From Home

The world’s population is aging and the baby boomers are just about to start retiring.  At the same time, there’s a new baby boom happening as we speak.   Add unemployment. to the mix and more people are looking to supplement their existing family income, top up a single parents income, or take on extra part time work because their usual full time job has reduced the available hours.  Part time is looking good.  Work from home looks even better.

Some government organisations are also making it easier for their staff to work from home by adopting work from home policies to help employees balance work and life commitments, especially where an employee has a lengthy distance to travel to work.

Part time is looking good.  Work from home looks even better.

Work From Home

Work from home?  I love it.

Work from home allows me to totally adapt to my family’s needs as well as my own.  Typically, I am up early.

6am I wander over to make coffee in my dressing gown and sit down quietly to observe whats happening in the world by checking out the country and world wide news.
6.15am – I check some work emails, respond to a few questions and provide some direction for my team.
7.15am  -  The kids are up.  I break for 45 minutes to get them organised for school.

8am -  The kids are out the door and walking to the bus and I am back at work for another hour.

9am  -  Gosh – I’ve already put in 2 hours of work and got the kids off to school but haven’t showered.  I haven’t even showered.  Still – peak hour traffic is almost over and I can fit a quick half hour dog walk.
9.30 – Dog walk done and now its time for a shower.

9.45 – Dressed and with another coffee in hand, I am back at the desk.  Work solid until 12.45.  I’ve done 5 hours of work so far.
12.45 – Lunch break for half an hour

1.15 -  Back at the Desk for another 3 hours of solid work.  Phone calls, teleconferences, emails, report writing….

4.15 – My 8 hours of work are over.  My results speak for themselves.  The boss has all the reports and my staff have direction to continue working (many of whom also work interstate and/or from home).  My job (for today) is done!

Benefits of Work From Home

I’ve just used about three hours of time that I would otherwise have spent commuting, looking after my family’s needs and balancing my life priorities with my work priorities.  Eight (8) solid hours of work and yet I’ve been there for the kids before and after school and I’ve looked after my own health and the dog by taking in our daily walk.  The kids arrive home after taking the school bus to our street.  I break, listen to the stories of their day, make them something to eat, get a load of washing on and put on a slow cooking casserole for dinner.   I supervise some home work and bring dry washing inside.  When my husband arrives home, wound up and a little stressed – but the kids are on track, dinner is on and we can enjoy a glass of wine together before dinner.  We dine at 6.30 and by 7.30pm the whole family enjoys TV together.  I am not feeling guilty that I am neglecting my family and I am not feeling pressure of work.  Work from home works for everyone – and everyone’s needs are met.
