Everyone who has went through the trials and tribulations of finding the right work at home business for them and has lost money, understands what you are going through manish.
I personally lost over $2000 within the past year to scams and other businesses where i felt I had no training and support.
So manish I would suggest try looking at some of the sig lines that you see under peoples post. Check those out and do your research to see if they are legit or if you want more info. If you have any questions about a home business, just post it. I'm sure someone here on the board may be able to tell you if it looks like a scam or if it seems real.

Welcome to the forum manish First identify whether you would like to have a work at home job or business. Both have their advantages and disadvantages and only you can judge which one's best for you.
For business opportunities, as Shun mentioned, try looking around member's sig lines and see if there's anything that interest you. If anything excites you, contact the member and ask appropriate questions - how long he has been in business, whether he'll be in a position to help you, etc.
For jobs, you either have to keep a watch for companies that list telecommuting/work at home jobs or look out for freelance jobs on sites like guru.com and elance.com. Regarding first option, there are no shortcuts though. You just will have to look out like you would for a regular job.

Hi Manish,
What is it you want to do? Some people just decide they want to work from hom and they look around for something that sounds easy and promises great rewards. Unfortunately, working from home can be very difficult. It requires, patience, concentration and a plan.
Do you want to sell? There are certainly many opportunities that a motivated, passionate person can excel from a home based office selling to residences or businesses.
Do you have a service to provide? Could you do in home cleaning, computer support or offsite office assistance?
Do you want to try and get a telecommute job where you are an appointment setter or other individual that is based on commissions?
If you can think about what you would actually like to do it might be easier to find something. One thing I know - you have to be committed and you have to have passion for what you are doing. Otherwise, it will be too easy to put it off or give up.

It's not easy, believe us. We all went through it. I was kinda lucky to find the right one for me and not lose out of alot of money, but my problem was after. Ok.. I found the business I wanna do.. now what? Don't get me wrong though, I had excellent training and support team, but I wanted more and didn't know why. That sounds kinda weird, but I was driving. I'm way ahead of my upline now because I'm no longer buying leads, so they can no longer give me advice about my business because they have not taking it as far as I have. Good Luck of your search.. If you have any questions, keep on posting.

I have the same problem. I am struggling to find an online job and have spent nearly 200$. Now I have stopped signing up sites that ask for any upfront fees. Maybe someday I will get a genuine work at home job. If you guys know any please tell me.

There are plenty of legitimate work at home jobs available in USA and Canada. In other countries, you have limited options

I run a retail store from my home. It's fun a lot of the time, but it is very time consuming between listing items on the site, photographing, packing orders, shipping, etc. not to mention trying to attract new customers. I also do transcription work which is a steady income, but I don't make a lot considering how much time I put into it. I've been able to make a decent amount of money at get-paid-to programs like Instant Profitz and Prizebook. I don't think I can count on it to be something I can do long term but it's been great for filling in the gaps.

I know this is a good business to get into However you still have to know how to market the products. They do have online trainings to learn how to market them also. But they are legit and their products are very good for your health and for our enviroment.

As someone else previously mentioned it basically depends on what you are looking for. Most online opportunities have the potential to make you alot of money if you know how to market them properly and are prepared to invest some time, effort and money, yes money...You cant start ANY business online or off without having to invest money for operating expenses and advertising if you want to remain in business and hopefully become successful but nothing is guaranteed.
As far as business expenses this is where an online business differs a great deal. Your investment into an online business is far far less than that of traditional offline businesses. Even if you spend $300 monthly operating your own online business it would still be far less. IMO if a person is not prepared to invest financially in any business than they would be better of searching for better employment. Their are no get rich quick schemes that all take hard work to be successful.
I have been living a very comfortable life for the past 6 years from working online and I invested an extremely small amount of money but none the less their was an initial investment and monthly operating costs.

When you search online for a work at home job, what
you will mostly find are home businesses which mostly
require a fee. An internet business and a work at home
job are two different things.
One way to find a work at home job is to actually contact
Jobs that are not work at home jobs and see if they are
in need of someone to do work at home.
The deal with most real work at home jobs is that many
of them will not advertise it. Another option would be
to get a a job that will allow you to work at home in
the future when they get to know you and how you work.
First you have to find out if they actually have people
working from home.
Once the companies gets to know you and trust you because
they know that you are an honest person, then they may
take you up on your offer to work at home.

Im also a work from home web professional and this is a genuine work too for which I have been getting paid. The work is interesting and just the kind of work I was looking for. However, I have also had many setbacks in the past and since a friend of mine was doing this already I went for it and now Im fairly well settled in it . Its giving me good money fur sure without any investment whatsover.

The quest for legitimate work at home does take research and careful consideration. Do you need direction and supervision, or are you creative and self-reliant? This answer may help determine whether to search for an Internet business or work for a company at home.

You should search forums for genuine work at home jobs, most scam companies are very good at SEO and have top rankings in search engines. Scams are easy to spot after some time

I feel strongly that when searching for a work at home oppurtunity, "you get what you pay for." If someone is offering to make you thousands of dollars a day for a $29.95 fee, do you really think that seems legit? I have actually tried some of these with no success. I agree with some of the previous posts in that working at home takes, time, money and effort.
The home business that I own did cost me money, i do work hard, and I love it!!! There is a real oppurtunity to make money with this one! But you do need to invest money to start!
Also, I feel you can be successful with nearly any online business if you KNOW HOW TO MARKET ONLINE. Once you've been successful marketing one online business I think it will be much easier to sell nearly anything online.

I know just how you feel!!! About 4 months ago I was so fed up with wasted time and money on home business scams. I was about ready to give up.
Then I found PAS. I am not advertising here. I am just letting you know how I became successful.
I had tried online data entry, affiliate marketing, selling ebooks, paid surveys, you name it I tried it. I was so down on myself and just about broke.
I was introduced to PAS and was absolutely not going to pay that much for another home business program. I had already wasted so much money!
After a few weeks, I did some more research and found that many people have been successful with PAS. People have failed too, don't get me wrong. This is NOT a Magical Money Maker!
I bought the system, worked hard and now I am reaping the rewards.
I'm sure this is not the only way to make money online but it has been the only thing that I have had success with.

Could someone please tell me how to go about actually getting ON the chacha.com site? Everytime I type in chacha.com into my search engine, I get taken to some site that talks about Cha Cha, but I can never get to the ChaCha site itself. I know it exists; I saw it on "Good Morning America." I just wish I knew how to get there.

You have to get an invite from a current ChaCha member. Go to a large Work at home forum with a ChaCha folder and ask for an invite.

There are actually lot's of ways to earn money on internet. You will need to do some research to find which are suitable for you. Some informations are available for free and some other for some money. Like any other business, Internet business take time, effort and money (ussually not very much comparing to offline business). And one of the key success is that you need to undertsand the big picture, and slowly learn how to do it one step at the time. Try not to get overwhelmed with too much information which get you nowhere. There are also some quick program available designed to get you started quickly at first, and follow the tutorial so that you can learn along the way. I do not believe get rich quick on internet is actually possible.
Always do your research before spending money, search more information about the program or visits some forum where people discuss about the particular program. After all as in any business you would want to control your expenses and achieve the the max profit.
Good luck
Cheers

Hi Manish,
Perhaps if you think about your specific goals and values then it may be easier to search and find a fit.
Are you looking to do most of the work yourself or have help? Many have tools in place to help you learn and succeed.
Some home based businesses offer building wealth over time, others have more immediate pay and some offer a combination.
With today's technology, I would think the information about the business opportunity would be provided for free via a website and/or conference calls if it's legitimate instead of having poeple pay just to learn about it? Perhaps someone else can offer insights on home based business opportunities that are legitimate that require money upfront in order for people to find out what they are.
As someone previously mentioned, there are usually expenses to get started and they can vary. Some may offer you the opportunity to get started and earn your start up investment for your initial product or membership purchase, if products or memberships are involved. If you look at the expenses then evaluate the income potential and think about whether or not it's something you feel you can do with the training and tools provided, then perhaps you can find a fit.
To your success!

On January 2nd of this year I was laid off from my job as an engineer. This is a day that I will never forget, the joy of losing a job that I hated coupled with a new found freedom. I spent the next two months split between looking for a new job and trying to start my own business. I started an online businesss this past month and share many of the concerns being voiced in this forum.
Working at home has its defintite benefits, like taking my kids to school and getting to spend lots of time with them. I no longer need to make the 45 minute drive to work each day. I can get up early in the morning or work late at night, the schedule is mine to determine each day. Working on line has its challanges, besides having a dynamic product and web site, you are always confronted with the marketing issue of advertising and where and how to do it. And there is just so much infomation on the web that if you are not careful you will get very easily sidetracked and spend much of your day surfing sites that have no real bearing on your bottom line. Finding a good company to work with is key. Product, business system , payment plan and training are imperative to on-line success.
In running a business, you have to be able to get answers to your questions quickly. Another often over looked area is personal training. Its not that the system or company that you have chosen to associate with is necessisarily bad, you just may not have prepared yourself for the new adventure. I compare this to driving a car. If you intend to speak with people on the phone, you need a different skill set than it takes to fill out questionaires on a computer. What I am really saying here is that to run an internet business, which is new to many people, equipp yourself to get the job done. If you don';t know how to do something, find someone who does. Persistance is the other key, treat it like a business and stop looking for excuses as to why it won't work. Yes maybe it is different, but stick with what you've chosen if it makes business sense. Hopping around from site to site is just a waste of time.
All the best.
