The Diva has often talked about why a home based business and how to choose. I am back on my soapbox because of all the suspicious offers that have landed in my inbox recently.

It is a fact that it takes money to make money but it shouldn’t cost money to go to work! There is a big difference between spending money or raising capital to create a business and paying money to another company so that you can have a job.

IF you are fielding offers from your inbox that say things like:

Just a $99.00 refundable fee
Start work for only $5.00
$25.00 deposit and you can start making $xx.00 per hour today!

These offers are usually connected surveys, ink cartridge processing, rebate processing, and other possibilities. The number one challenge with these offers is that they often provide information on getting started or even companies that will offer these types of work at home opportunities after a screening process. They rarely offer an actual job opportunity. In the posts to come I will look for specific links of offers to avoid. If you have any links or comments about offers to avoid please let The Diva know!

IF you are looking for a business opportunity, make a list of your attributes and the things you are interested in doing. There are many of legitimate business opportunities and doing thorough research and consulting other professionals is a great start on the road to success!
