Note from Work@Home Affiliation Owner:

Before I had my business I had gotten scammed and know personally how that feels.  I do want to say not to give up on finding work at home positions.  It does take self-motivation, discipline to make it working at home and if you have both of these along with experience in a certain field or willing to train or teach yourself you should do just fine.  I say this from experience; I worked at home for years before my online business. It was very hard to do and took time but if I can accomplish this with the situation I was in at the time then anyone can!  I had 12 surgeries in a 10-year span along with a small child and a marriage that was getting worse by the day.  As I mentioned before it takes self-motivation and self-discipline yet it also takes being organized as well.  Please do not ever let anyone tell you that you cannot work at home successfully because you can!  A lot of people are from the older days when you had to work in an office 9 -5 to make a living and that there was no other way. Therefore it is hard for them to understand how someone can actually work from home and make money at it.  I also recommend starting out slow.  In other words, if you have a current job then start out part-time at home and work your way up to the income you are currently making or at least up to what you would need to meet your monthly bills.  This is important because it can take time obtaining your work at home career and you do not want to be stressing over bills, food on the table, roof over your head, etc.  Stressing over such items can be a determination on getting that work at home job and it can also be a conflict in you putting yourself into your search, job, etc. I have now been assisting people to work from their homes since 1997 and have built the company up to now having staff that also assists others in working at home. 

It can be done, do not give up on your dreams or yourself, just be cautious and do not let anyone take advantage of your dreams or money!
