    Yes. Several months ago, I joined an industry leader in health and wellness. I don’t have to sell to family and friends, the company gets me my customers through infomercials. I don’t have to carry inventory because the customer buys directly from the company. They are very generous with their commissions…70% for first order a customer places, then 21% after that. Also, there is a lot of support, they don’t just take your money and disappear, there are always webinars, e-classes, you name it.
    It’s not a get rich quick scheme but it grows every month. I started in April with 37 customers, now I have 106.

    You can put as little or as much time in it as you wish.

    Most Home based jobs usually don’t pay off. Be especially wary of ads that promise huge annual salaries; they often require expensive upfront fees with no guarantee. You risk losing your money and wasting a lot of time and energy.

    Hi Ty,

    I know that there will be plenty of posts from people who got burned from home based business scams and many will be reluctant to go to a website to check it out.

    But, if you’re asking the question, here is the answer….
    There are legitimate home based business opportunities out there !

    If you are interested in Network marketing, you may want to check out a legitimate home based business that focuses on building a business based on books, self-improvement, and a culture of charity.

    The founders are Robert Allen (Multiple Streams of Income) and Richard Paul Evans (The 5 Lessons a Millionaire Taught Me)

    It doesn’t get more legit than that.

    This is not a get rich quick scheme by any means.

    There is extensive company and team training, so you will learn how to build this business the right way.

    It is a dynamic, rapidly growing company. But, it is network marketing and you have to build the business. But, it is a great product, great people and fun.

    Make sure to exercise due diligence when you are researching any home based business opportunity.

    Also, try to find a product or service that you are passionate about. It makes it much easier to be motivated…and if you are motivated you stand a better chance at being successful.

    If you choose a Network Marketing company, make sure they have a money back guarantee, have a great marketing system and provide plenty of support and training.

    Try to get in on a company opportunity or training call to see what the business is all about and the type of individuals who are running the business.

    Contact me through my profile if you are interested in additional information.

    Good luck in your work at home search.

    Marc

    I finally got into a home business that allows me to make real money and helping people lose weight at the same time. 2 out of every 3 people are looking to lose weight and have tried all the other weight programs out there without any longterm success. I started earning money within the first 2 weeks . This is a self adhesive fat patch that allows you to apply it once a day without joining any programs or eating certain foods. I found out that I never made money in other home businesses since the product doesnt sell itself or I didnt believe in the program completely. I can say that I have used this product and have lost 13lbs since March and have develeped a customer that purchases from me each month since they are successful in obtaining their weight management goals. There are also many income streams that allow you to earn a lot of money in this business.

    Take a look at , click on Company Intro , Fat Loss Patch, Opportunity

    then goto..The companies motto is to helping others help themselves while acheiving one’s financial goals. .if you have any questions, feel free to email me at

    I am a stay at home mom and I was looking for the same thing! I found Watkins, which happens to be a trusted name since 1868!

    I love selling these products because I use them myself and I can totally stand behind there quality!

    My mother sells Shaklee products because those are the products she likes to use

    My aunt just started doing Send Out Cards because she loves cards!

    I have a friend that is doing Mary Kay online

    There are a lot of options to choose from such as Lia Sophia Jewelry, AVON, Pampered Chef, Market America, RADA, Tupperware

    The best option is to pick the stuff to sell that you are comfortable with and the stuff that you would use yourself, its easy to sell things that you love!

    YES! There are legit work at home options…….I looked for 2 years before I found a good one! Learn from my experiences….lol

    I’m a stay at home mom of two little girls a 1 year old and a 3 year old. I work about 15-18 hours per week for a National Medical Benefits Company. I have been with the company for 6 months and am now making over $2500 a month! In your first month, depending on how many hours you can work I have seen people make anywhere from $500-$2000. And your income will increase each month because we get paid residual income as well. If I continue on as I am going at the end of the year I will be making $5000 a month. My friend Becky started 2 years before me. She is now making $95,000 a year.

    The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit and a benefits package. In addition, there are no products, no hard selling or pushing, no cold calling and no telemarketing! That was VERY important to me.

    I absolutely love working with them and I can’t believe I am making what I am making and in so few hours per week. The neat thing is there are other people on your team that you work with so you are never alone. The support is great but I have made wonderful friends as well. I think that’s important too, especially being at home!

    I was a bit apprehensive at first because I know a lot of companies are not legit but this company is the number one National Medical Benefits Company in the US. They are a member of the US Chamber of Commerce which is very impressive. Also they were featured in “The New York Times”, “Wall Street Journal” and the “American Medical Review”. Even “60 Minutes” with Morley Safer did a big special on them!

    Even more then all this is they are accepted at over 100,000 retailers nation wide. These are fortune 500 companies like Sears, Target, Walgreens, CVS, Wal-mart and more. These companies would never work with a company that was any thing less then reputable. That made me feel very good about working with them knowing they were accepted at the stores I frequent. Also now of course being with them I get the benefits for free and I saved over $150 on my last visit to the dentist! That’s just a beautiful perk! : - )

    When I first started I just felt very safe with them…. that and my friend was already making so much money with them! But at this point I feel a sense of security financially that our family has never had before. That plus LOVING what you do? What could be better?

    Check them out! Just type in in your web browser.

    If you are looking for a JOB there should be NO cost and I would NEVER pay or encourage anyone to pay money to work for someone else. This is a business, a inexpensive home business of your own. Where you are your own boss. Of course it does cost some money to start any home business but that does NOT mean you should pay $500 or even $1000. Our start up costs are less then $100 bucks and we get SO much for that. Each month we cover only a very small portion of what it really costs to run our businesses, the company pays the rest for us. Including all of our web sites, training, materials, 401k, direct deposit, medical benefits and more. This company basically makes it possible for you to own your own home business and they foot almost 100% of the bill!!!
    Without them I never would have been able to afford my own business!

    Check this out, it changed our lives! :-)

    I work at home for a new company that is honest and has good morals. It’s free to start. Yes. I said free and nothing to sell. This company is changing the world and allowing more people to work from home and make some extra money. Let me know if you want more info and I can help.

    Isn’t it frustrating all the “FREE” home businesses that actually charge you for the good stuff? Whe you get right down to it if you don’t have the resources available to you to sell the product, how can you close the sale? I have been with this company since 2004 and love it.
