I know this is asked often but I was hoping for some updated info. I am looking to work from home. We are kind of limited because we can't afford any money up front. A family member sells Mary Kay so that or Avon is out of the question. I am open to all other ideas. Are there real Data Entry jobs out there? I know most of the jobs out there are a scam but I am really determined to find something. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Dear C.,

About 6 years ago I myself was looking but my criteria really was ethics first and still is today.

I'm also very much into the health of my family and friends and I have found a whole food supplement that is the most stringently researched nutraceutical in history worldwide. The results of that research are what leads me to know the intregity of this product is beyond reproach. Research may not be important to alot of people but if I recommend it I want some substance behind what I tell people is a healthy product.

I have found with this amount of research behind this product it makes it very easy to talk about and share with others. I have many friends who also have found this very lucrative. I don't have to be an expert it is the research that sells itself. Don't worry about the money : )

Please listen to the 11 minute video on my website www.vineripejuiceplus.com (a picture is worth a thousand words).

Let's set up a time to talk ...

For better health,
C.

I wish I could help you...honestly...because as a very poor but very happy stay at home mom who is also homeschooling, I would love some extra cash to take my daughters out to lunch or buy myself some clothes that fit (ahem...don't you love the post baby year?)

But honestly...I've checked into just about everything...and like you, I do not have NOR am I willing to put cash up front. I believe if something is legit, you won't have to pay for it.

I really don't think they're out there.

But if you find one, let me know, huh? And I'll let you know if I find one, too. Ahh...dreams.

I have not heard of any of those data entry or other type of at home jobs being very lucrative, and some are notorious for not paying when the work is done.
As for companies like Mary Kay or Avon, yes there is a start up cost associated with them. That however does not mean they are not legitimate companies. If you want a JOB, then those companies are not for you. If you want to have your own opportunity then you do have to invest in yourself. Look at it like a McDonald's, you can get a job there or you can own one, but to own it you have to invest in it.

There are MANY scams, hyped up things, large investments, party plans etc etc when looking online. You have to be prepared to put time and energy into doing something. A work at home job, requires that you dedicate a certain number of hours, a business is much more flexible, you choose when and how much you work, but you also control your income so much better. I have a work at home business that I have been doing for 7 years, it isn't a full time replacement income, but I only work part time, so I have a part time income. I could be making more if I dedicated myself more to it, I am happy that my check every month is a few hundred dollars and definitely is allowing us to pay off debt. If you want to know more, go to my website www.liveyourdreamsathome.com I don't sell products, do parties, collect money or carry an inventory. You can do it, you can have an income and be there with your family, the information is free, and the decision is yours.

I would check Monster.com and other job boards. I work from home for a huge corporation. Look for openings with companies on the Fortune "100 Best Companies to Work For" list. Google it, I think 2011 is out. The reality is that nowadays MOST large, progressive companies have work from home part-time and full-time jobs.
I also have a friend who is a SAHM who makes GREAT money working for Juice in the City. I don't know much about them, but you might want to Google them as well.
Hope that helps!

Figure out what YOU are good at and what YOU are interested in. This type of post gets all the MLM'rs going on a recruiting trip to sign you up for the greatness of the MLM.

BEWARE..... If it sounds too good to be true...

If you like data entry, check with accounting firms, accounting temp firms, etc. There are many sales reps who work from home and need some admin help. Check into it.

Think outside the box and don't fall into the traps of everyone trying to recruit you to sell their wares.

Good luck....
