I am a disabled stay at home wife seeking a real work from home job.I've tried so many opportunities for data entry,taking surveys,stuffing envelopes and MLM.They are all misleading and are 100% scams.The so-called home jobs like data entry charge to get access to their data base of jobs,but I never fall for that trick.Do any one know any real home jobs that don't beg for your wallet?

I have little doubt you have run across numerous scams. However, lack of results from an online biz does not mean that the company you chose was a scam. It is a well known fact that the majority of people trying to make money online will fail.
You could try something like http://apply.westathome.com/
Or you could do 'bum marketing' with affiliate products using things like articles and squidoo.
Stay away from HYIP's and gifting.
As far as surveys go - most are not going to make any life changing income doing surveys. But if you decide to do some surveys, NEVER pay a site in order to find survey companies or to fill out surveys.

I agree 100%. Surveys for me have paid my mortgage for 1 month and only 1 time. However they do pay for some of the smaller monthly bills for me. Now that being said anything that you decide to do is going to take time and effort. I see so many people that try to make money online and then after a week (when they don't have a check in their hands) then they quit. When you start a regular job you usually don't get paid in a week. You have to work first and then get the profits later. Whatever it is that you decide to do, just don't give up. Also if it is costing you much money then I would be very cautious.

I agree, too, that you may have come across some scams but just because they did not make any money in the first few weeks does not mean they are scams...
Here is the hard truth about internet marketing....especially with affiliate marketing which is what most of us do on here...
most online stuff will not make you enough money to pay the bills for at least 5 - 6 months.... and that is IF YOU WORK IT for that long.
I am not trying to be hard on you - but am trying to help you and the hundreds of others just like yourself that are looking to make money from home , that stumble across this forum.
It is absolutely possible to make money from home without a lot of investment - but it takes months of consistent work and effort before it all pays off.
If you want a 'pay by the hour' job - then you will want to look at places that hire telemarkers to work from home - and there is a lot of that info at the wahm.com forum.
There is no magic pill....
Hope that helps a little.... good luck!

Hello Kelly,
EBay is a great place to begin your online presence.
If you can brainstorm and find a unique niche, that certainly will help.
I ran a great store on eBay trading vintage books. My ex sold vintage auto parts, until the shipping was increased so much.
If you would like to learn about marketing, of course you should take the Thirty Day Challenge which is free.
I am sorry you have run into so many scams. They are not timeless however, and I feel the internet is in a cleansing phase. At least iI hope so!
Happy New Year!
Victoria

I agree totally, especially with a home business, it will not make you money overnight, you have to really work the business. I also tried surveys and never made back what I paid, I have seen other people make some money with surveys, but it just wasn't my thing I guess. Just keep searching, researching and ask lots of questions, this forum is full of great information! Good Luck to you, Happy New Year!

Surveys and data entry job did not work for me either. That is why it is essential to start your own online business and not work for anyone else. Sure it takes time and is hard work but finding a legitimate job online that pays well is impossible in my opinion. Affiliate marketing is the best way to start.
