FTC Cracking Down On Work At Home Job Scams!

2010-02-17T14:14:00.004-05:00

The FTC announced today they are redoubling their efforts to put a stop to job hunting/money-making scams like envelope stuffing, mystery shopping, movie extras, assembling products and the like.

Here's an informative video put together by the FTC.Please watch this video to educate yourself on the various work at home schemes and scams that are out there. If someone asks you for money it is almost always a scam. You can read more on the FTC website. The FTC has also put together a list of To-Do's when job hunting that I also recommend reading.

Top 10 Sites That Pay You To Write

2009-11-24T13:04:00.005-05:00

Last week I told you I was going to share a list of sites that pay you to write for them since many of you are looking for more ways to make money online. If you like to write and you are passionate about a specific topic (no, you do not have to be a professional writer) making extra money is a very real possibility. I've included the list of sites that we recommend below. NOTE: Please fill out each application or sign up process correctly to get started quickly. Also, please be aware that some of these sites pay you per article that is accepted and some of the sites pay you via revenue share which means you get a percentage of the money made via advertising. I also suggest that you read all terms before you agree to write for a site.

Get Paid to Write Through The Following Sites:

Suite101 -revenue share

Demand Studios flat fee & revenue share

About.com - $675 per month plus revenue share. Average guide makes $2,000 month.

Today.com - revenue share

Associated Content - some upfront payments, revenue share

Triond - 50% revenue share

Families.com - $4 per blog post ($3 during 90 day trial period)

Constant Content - paid when/if your content is purchased

Online Job Application Tips

2009-09-06T18:03:00.010-04:00

Getting hired for an online job is not as easy as getting hired for an offline job simply because there aren't enough online jobs to go around. In a telecommuting job search, you are competing with a lot of people! So, if you really want to work from your home office then read on for some helpful tips on how to apply for and land a telecommuting "home" job.

1. Make Sure The Job You Are Applying For Is Real and Legitimate. This first tip is honestly really important because you don't want to spend all day updating and tweaking your resume only to find out that the job you are applying for is a scam. Here at HJFM you never have to worry about that. We only share REAL jobs on our weekly lists.

2. Have an updated professional resume and tailor your resume to each specific job. You really have to find a way to make yourself stand out! Try this Resume Builder! If you don't use a resume builder, please at least have someone critique and spell check your resume before sending it out.

3. Include a cover letter. Use a cover letter and explain why you are best for the job. The cover letter is how you are going to get a potential employer to notice you. You may want to read this article from Monster.com, Ten Cover Letter Don'ts

4. Follow directions completely. One sure-fire way to NOT get interviewed is by not following directions that the hiring official has set up. Hiring officials will see you as someone who is incapable of following directions and will quite possibly trash your resume.

5. Apply Quickly. What I mean by this is if you see an online job posting apply for it as soon as possible because if you don't somebody else will. Chances are that any job you see online will be filled within a few days of it being posted.

5 Top Money-Making Work At Home Ideas

2009-08-03T17:15:00.000-04:00

Are you looking for ways to make extra money from home? If you answered YES then these five mom-tested money-making ideas is a great place to start.

1. Sell On Ebay. Have junk or excess stuff lying around that you know someone else could use? You can make money by selling it on Ebay. Items that sell well are gently used clothing, books, toys, various antiques, current electronics, and trendy items. I'm sure everyone has at least a few of these things lying around not being used. Selling on Ebay is a great not to mention VERY QUICK way to get some extra cash.

2. Sell On Etsy. Are you a crafty person? Do you enjoy making things? If you do then I highly recommend you check out Etsy.com, a site where you can sell your handmade products.

3. Become A Virtual Assistant. A virtual assistant is someone who performs data entry, customer service, call center, and secretarial-type work. Many companies hire often for virtual assistant type jobs. Here are a few of those companies - Live Ops, Alpine Access, Arise Virtual Solutions, & VIPDesk.

4. Freelance Writing/Blogging. Great writing is what makes the Internet go around so these types of jobs are plentiful. The drawback - you really do have to be an excellent writer and need writing experience since so many people apply for these types of jobs. A great site to get more information on freelance writing jobs is FreelanceWritingGigs.com

5. Medical Transcription. A medical transcriptionist is a health-related position where the MT transcribes voice recordings by doctors and other health professionals. To do this job from home you will need an MT degree or have MT experience as well as the equipment for medical transcription. There are many full time positions available to do from home. A great place to start is MTDaily.com - which has been online since 1995.

Myths About Working From Home Via The Internet

2009-07-12T09:54:00.009-04:00

Many people think working from home is effortless. Today, I'm here to set the record straight with a list of myths about working from home.

Myth #1: Working from home via the Internet is easy. Most of my family and my husband's family as well as friends still assume that we must not work everyday because we are at home everyday. People drop in to chat at all hours, ask us to babysit, or even run errands for them...as if we had nothing else to do! We are constantly being distracted and interrupted. So, no, working from home is NOT easy.

If you have an Internet business then you already know all to well just how busy an Internet business owner really is. I always hear "It must be nice" and "You've got it made". Well, it is nice and I do have it made (to an extent) but I still have to do real work. I've worked hard to be where I am. Working from home is just as hard if not harder than a regular job. It requires lots of time, commitment, and strong self-motivation. Often times, if you want to be successful that is, you work many more hours than you would at an average day job.

Myth #2: If you work from home you must be rich. Ha! This is the easiest one to dispel. I've been working from home via the Internet since 2003 and I'm not rich...yet. I'm sure you've seen the "get rich quick schemes" telling you that you can make an insane amount of money overnight by working from home. Stay far away from these ads. Whatever you do, do not buy into them. I make a living plain and simple but rich is not the word I'd use to describe our finances. It is however a word I'd use to describe our life and relationships.

Myth #3: You Can't Work At Home With Kids At Home. Sure, having children around while you are working is going to be challenging. See myth #1 above - working at home is NOT easy. However, for as long as I've worked from home, my children have been at home with me. As they have reached school age, I've started homeschooling them too. Being able to be at home with my two boys is exactly why I chose to start my home-based business in the first place.

Myth #4: You'll Have More Free Time. Working from home is just like any other job. If you want to get paid you are going to have to work. Working from home is more flexible but you won't necessarily have more free time. You'll have time throughout the day to be with your family and to do what you need at home but you will make up for it by either getting up very early or staying up very late at night working while everyone else is asleep. However, when you want to take a day off or take a vacation, no one can tell you no. Every October, we designate 2-3 weeks for a vacation to the beach. It is dreamy.

Myth #5: You Won't Need Any Help At All Since You Work From Home. See Myths #1 & #4. If you think you will be able to do all the household chores, fix gourmet meals everyday, and never need a babysitter THINK AGAIN. You will need the help of your family at some point whether it be to watch your kids for a few hours or to eat a hot meal on a day you don't have time to cook. Last year we moved back to our small hometown to be near my husband's family because we needed help. All in all, don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

By now you should have a clear picture of what working from home is REALLY like. I hope these five myths have helped clear up any misconceptions you've had about working from home. Hopefully it will help you decide whether working at home is right for you or not. Maybe you don't want to be anywhere near a home office now or maybe this is perfect for you!

Feel free to share any other myths you have about working from home. I'd love to hear them!
