WorkAtHomeTruth Weekly WrapUp November 15th, 2008


Foreclosure and Debt Help – National Foundation for Debt Management

We’ve included this because the April, 2008 Bloomberg article gave statistics of 1 in 519 homes in foreclosure and based on the economy since then it stands to reason that it would be even higher than that by now.

From the NFDM site:

“National Foundation for Debt Management (NFDM) is committed to fostering community education on money management, budgeting and appropriate use of credit. Since 1999, NFDM certified financial counselors have assisted thousands of families. We are dedicated to providing professional and confidential services to assist families and individuals who are in financial distress.”

NFDM is a HUD Approved Housing Counselor. Click here to visit NFDM now.

You’re probably also familiar with the Hope For HomeOwners program which you can read about here.

Top Business Find of the Week – Affiliate Review Site Monopoly

The Affiliate Review Site Monopoly by is one of the few books out of literally thousands to give correct guidance on how to profit from an affiliate review site for the long-term. Most books tell you to call a product a “scam” and then in the review actually say it’s not a scam. That’s NOT how you do real reviews that build trust and repeat customers.

The really nice thing about The Affiliate Review Site Monopoly book is that it includes the “Review Site” script all for an extremely reasonable price (currently $67 gets you both the course and the script).

Top Telecommuting Question of the Week – Medical Transcription

New Scam Prevention Videos and GamesAre Up

The government has a lot of useful scam prevention videos and games. Unfortunately they’re scattered all over the place. Luckily they’ve set all of these up so they are easy to include in the WorkAtHomeTruth so we’ve created a special section for them.

There’s also a new Scam Alerts section where We’ve pulled in active alerts from various organizations that track those. I’ll be pulling the phishing feed alert in from FraudWatchInternational soon as well.
