There are a lot of work-at-home scams out there........

I stlll think that the best job that one can do from one's own home is their own business.  But there are a LOT of people out there that are looking for work from companies that will more or less have work that you can do from home.  With the exception of some companies like Mary Kay and Avon I haven't seen one yet that I would feel comfortable with.

I think the reason why so many people are looking for companies to provide them with work that they can do at home is because they want the security of working for an already established business.  Plus I think that they think that they will get paid sooner if they work for a company as opposed to working for theirselves.  If such is the case with you I advise you to read everything carefully!  There are stories where people have joined these companies and either they had to spend a lot of money to buy the company's materials or they tell of how they haven't got paid.

Like I said before I think it would be much better if one started a business of their own.  No matter how "crazy" you may think that your business idea sounds there is probably someone doing EXACTLY what it is you want to do or someone is doing something that's close to what it is you want to do.

I'm assuming that some visitors are reading my Working From Home blog because that is exactly what it is that they want to do.  It is not as impossible as you may think.  In fact you may know someone who works at home now.
