Update for the Jobs at Home Resources

I sent this out as an update to the Jobs At Home email list, but wanted to post it here also for the benefit of those of you that read the blog instead:

I just wanted to let everybody know about a couple things.

First of all, I *finally* have some updates to add to the data entry
jobs list, and I’ll have those up tonight.

Second, I’m going to create a new page of mystery shopping and
legitimate online survey companies. The list is going to be very
short.

BIG REMINDER: NEVER, I repeat, NEVER, pay a fee to an online (or
offline, for that matter) company in order to get a JOB. There are
companies that will sell you lists of mystery shopping and survey
companies to go apply at, and they usually charge $20-$50 to have
access to that list. DO NOT DO IT….they’re usually scams or just
rehashed copies of information you can get for free if you just
took the time to search around Google. If you want to get involved
with this sort of work, start with the list I’ll be putting up
tonight, and branch out from there.

Third, I’ve created an online discussion forum at one of the web
sites that I run to teach business startup principles. The web site
itself is primarily geared towards customers of a line of products
that I put out AND the individuals that resell those products on
Amazon, eBay, and other places, but I’ve created a place for those
of you in this particular program if you want to hop on there
and discuss working in this sort of arena, balancing family and
work, as well as different companies to work with, etc. I know that
there are a lot of “work from home” discussion boards on the
Internet, but I hope this can be something a bit more personal and
not an arena where a bunch of people are just trying to get you
to buy all kinds of stuff you don’t need.

Fourth, I’ve had a lot of people reply to me individually after
receiving one of the messages in this series and ask me what I’m
doing for a living now. I’m still doing occasional field inspection
work, the very occasional mystery shop if it’s something fun, and
I’m doing a lot on Amazon with that line of audiobooks I’ve
recorded. Primarily, however, I’m working in real estate, both as
an investor and a broker. If you love working with people and can
stomach some of the ups and downs of being in sales, consider
getting your real estate license – it’s probably the highest paying
part-time work you can ever do from home!

Alrighty, I’ve rambled enough for now. I sincerely appreciate all
the kind words that every has sent me, and I really do hope that
you are all getting some value out of this program. Remember also,
if you have a bad experience with any of the companies that are
on any of the jobs at home list, please don’t hesitate to write to
me and let me know.

Take care, and make it a GREAT day!

Sincerely,

_
