Trouble finding an acceptable work from home or business
Recent comment through feedback:
I seem to be having trouble finding an acceptable work from home or business. They all want money up front and my experience tells me not to fall for this.
I am not looking to get rich over night , but have you making thousands in no time give me a break.
I am not that gullable.
Answer:
That's one of the reasons I listed (ugh - I had listed Jeremy Palmer's free training here and almost immediately after I posted this he started charging $97). I have another free training site at the end.
If you didn't read the information about the person
leading the training, I encourage you to do so.

It might not mean much to you unless you already know
how significant a company Commission Junction is
online.

Jeremy's training requires a fee now, but you can still get great free training at <a href="http://www.thirtydaychallenge.com</a> from Ed Dale.

Thanks for the shout-out! I appreciate your kind words…
Why is all these jobs or businesses have such big secerts. First they want you to give them money before they tell you what it is. I refuse to pay for something that I do not know what I am buying. I just cannot find a job or business that does not want this. I am a very capable person with a lot of experience and computer skills. I am becoming fustrated.

John, none of the jobs should be like that. We already talked about that issue with the many of the income opportunities on this site, but you shouldn't have to pay for a job at all. I explain why sometimes you might want to pay for a jobs database in the Telecommuting Jobs section, but as long as you follow the Rules you should be fine with free information.
Could it be that you clicked on an advertisement on this site? Those are served through Google Adsense and I don't control them. l decided to run them, because it was either that or shut the site down as it takes an inordinate amount of my time and distracts me from my actual money sites. In other words the "Rules" apply to this site as well.
Most of the ones I list in the phone jobs section are
like this one:
Intelemark with this description RIGHT on their site:
"Intelemark Independent Contractor Questionnaire
Intelemark specializes in setting appointments for other companies’ sales people. All our agents work from home (so you must be a motivated self-starter). Please fill out the following form to the best of your abilities. You will be contacted within 24-48 hours (excluding weekends)of your submission."
Every company I list in the Work At Home Phone Jobs section is like that.
It seems pretty specific to me. I'm not sure what you're getting at. How can they be any more specific?
You might also Job Postings at Rat Race Rebellion.
You'll notice at the bottom of their main page RatRaceRebellion.com they have adsense ads running as well. The ones I saw when I went there were some pretty questionable products.
What I'm trying to say is that the "job leads" from the site are fine, but anything advertised is a coin-flip - especially if it's advertised through a service like Adsense.
That's why I mention advertising in the "Rules" section. Recognize it for what it is - Advertising - not an endorsement.
