Work From Home Scams By James Hagarty

Aren’t all work from home businesses scams? This is the number one question I see posted over and over again in various forums! After giving it much thought I realized that there is a main reason why so many people perceive all work from home as scams.

I have been working from home and doing internet marketing for years, and believe me I have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to work from home scams. But for every work from home scam there are at least four or five legitimate opportunities. Why is it that the 20% of work from home businesses that really are scams are causing people to fear that all work from home businesses are scams?

I think it is a matter of expectation. Most people who are looking for a home based business have never owned a business before. They are employees and are used to working a job where they trade dollars for hours, answer to a boss, and collect a check every pay day whether they deserve it or not.

A work from home business is just like any other business. There will be start up costs. There will be monthly overhead. It may take some time to get into profit. You can lose a little money – or a lot of money. You can also make a little money – or a lot of money. It is a business.

There are no guarantees! Anyone who tells you they will guarantee you will make millions of dollars from home is just blowing smoke at you. No one can guarantee that you will get out of bed in the morning and go to work, let alone do what it takes to succeed in your own business.

The reason why people think every work from home business is a scam is because what they really want is a work from home job. They want to trade hours for dollars, answer to a boss, and collect that check every pay day whether they have earned it (or more!) or not. The conflict is that people are selling businesses to people who really just want a job.

Working from home can be a wonderful thing, if you understand the risks and rewards involved in having your own business. If you don’t understand the difference between a business and a job, then you will think that all work from home businesses are scams.

Have fun, and good luck!
