Filed under: “Huh?”

Bob said he unsubscribed for this reason:

"You recommended that I not associate with any site that requests you to invest any money to start up. Then you request $ for a list of recommended sites."

Huh? While that’s mostly true for people looking for telecommuting positions, it’s not absolutely true. In fact if you read the rules you’ll see that I don’t explicitly say to never pay for a database of telecommuting positions.

And when it comes to business our section on self-funding businesses here merely suggests starting with a very low-cost business and reinvesting the profits in growth.

Telecommuting love at first site…

As WorkAtHomeTruth continues to grow and attract a lot of visitors we get a lot of requests to recommend other people’s products and sites. As you’ve figured out by now, we’re pretty picky about what we recommend, but when we love something we really let you know. :-)

For example we recently got an invitation from Rick Dane, the owner of a TelecommuteReview.com – a new telecommute web community where users can review and rate employers, find jobs, and network with others using the sites social network.

What’s funny though is that even though at this point there’s not many members and not much activity on the site, we really love the look and feel of it and feel that it has huge potential to become a major networking place for telecommuters.

The brilliance is in it’s simplicity in both organization and focus. And this is why we think this site could become a major gathering place for telecommuters. If there’s one thing that leads to word of mouth and repeate visitors it’s simplicity and ease of use.

Remember this when pursuing telecommuting positions: smart telecommuters know how to network just like smart job seekers looking for traditional jobs. And we can tell you from personal experience recognizing a good networking site and starting to make friends early can lead to some wonderful contacts and friends.

We highly recommend you get involved with TelecommuteReview.
