When starting a home business, you need to be aware of the scams being sold with the promise of lots of money for just a small investment.
Honestly, you need to learn to recognize that 99% of these home business offers are just great big scams.
If we could find a way to make money from home by investing a few dollars and then doing nothing, why wouldn't everybody just do that.
Here are some of the most effective home business scams out there and how you can learn to avoid them at all costs.
You will first want to take a look at where is the offer coming from. Second, do they tell you that with just a small investment and nothing else you will rake in $1000's? Most offers you see on street signs or posters are something you should be wary of since the majority of these are not legitimate offers.
However, if you see an ad in a newspaper or magazine or on a job website, the chances are more likely these are legitimate offers but you should always be sure to double check any offer you are considering. You want to be certain these are not scams and you should have definite proof that it isn't.

Of all home business scams, stuffing envelopes if probably one of the most common.
You will most likely get these offers coming to you in you mailbox on a postcard that states you can make a few thousand dollars for sending out just a few hundred mailings.
What happens is this, you sign up for the program, pay a small fee to offset the cost of printing etc. you are sent the envelopes along with some sales ads to put into them.
Some companies actually tell you to place ads or put up posters promising people you will show them how to make money from home if they send you $1 and an s.a.s.e.
This is often the case where you are told you will make one or two dollars for every mailing you send out. You simply place the ad and 1000's will respond sending you money and envelopes. I shouldn't have to tell you that this is very unlikely so please, don't even waste a second looking at this kind of at "home business". This is actually how you are going to get paid.

Make money assembling products from home. These home business offers require you to pay a small charge for materials that are usually not worth the time it took to put them in a box. You'll get some badly copied instructions you won't be able to read on how to assemble the product.
If you happen to get the product assembled and send it back for payment you will more than likely be told it is of low quality and cannot be accepted.
Of course, since it doesn't meet their high quality standards, they will refuse to pay you. You are now out time and money thanks to this scam. You definitely want to avoid this offer.
#3.
Have you seen offers to type from home. You've seen them, they claim to have more work than they can handle so their problem is a benefit for you. You are going to get paid big bucks to help them with the workload.
A computer, the ability to read and follow instructions to fill out the forms they supply you with and oh yeah, I almost forgot, they recommend you buy software from an unrelated company which will of course make your job easier and faster so of course you will make a lot more money if you pay the small amount for this great software. Trust me, they are the ones selling the software. That's where they make their money.
Understand this, the fact is they own the software and that is really what they are selling you, not a home business opportunity.
If you really want to make money from home with a home business, make it your home business. You will never make as much money working from home for another company. - 16069
