part-time work at home jobs...are there any legit?

[joebatters]

I've been looking for a part-time job, working about 10- hrs a week. I figure where better to start than looking on the internet and working from home. Of course, eveything I've checked out so far is a scam. Are there any legit ways to make some extra $$$ out there? Anyone know anything about these data entry positions? I've been getting tons of those e-mails.
Any help/insight appreciated. Thanks

I've been looking for a few weeks now and they all seem like bullshit. I found a forum where people discuss this called screwed central . com. You might want to browse around there for some honest answers from people who got ripped off. Maybe you can find something. GL and post if you actually find something because it is my dream to make money by not having to work my ass off for it

slick,
Thanks for the reply. I went to the site, but didn't see anything under this topic where is it?

I think I googled "work at home scams" or home based business scams and it brought me to a few threads in that forum

Hey Joe,

Might want to take a look at this.

Jim is a good dude and very helpful. Besides, there are people in this biz that are doing quite well.

You might head over to WarriorForum.com which is a major discussion group for part/full time self-employment. For the most part no one there is selling you any system or secret, so most of the advice is non-biased. It's one of the only places online where you'll find professionals making five figure incomes (per month) from the house just doling out tips and tricks for free to anyone who'll ask.

Something that is real popular there is "bum marketing" which is a free system for using article sites and ad sites to generate affiliate income. Most of the people who do it seem to be doing okay, picking up $500-1500 a month extra for very little work and little if any out of pocket expense. Do a search on the term "bum marketing" and you'll find a ton of posts, including stuff from Travis Sago, the guy who created the system. I'd link to his site directly but wouldn't want my post to be misconstrued as promotion.

There's alot of different forums there. Which one do they discuss bum marketing?

 

[Tchocky]

I'm of the opinion that home based business opportunities are about as reliable as tout services.

In the main discussion forum -- hardly a day goes by without at least one new thread started and at least one old thread bumped on the subject.

Isn't just a matter of time before this idea gets so diluted, with everyone doing the same thing, it wont' work anymore?

One would think so, but there are mitigating factors:

1) The topic matter is "whatever it is people read and talk about on the internet." That's a pretty broad based topic.

2) Most people who get into that sort of thing, to judge by the fora and lists I read, tend to focus on selling ebooks and crap that teach people how to make money selling ebooks and crap.

2)a) Most people who build AS-driven sites tend to build utter garbage that is basically some copied or otherwise filler content drowning in ads. No one is going to stay at a site like that, let alone get interested in sidebar content that might make the owner some money. This kind of crap site is in superabundance at the marketplaces I mentioned above, but what I'm talking about buying are actual quality sites with a decent layout, original content etc.

3) And to reiterate an earlier point, it's not neccessarily something from which one can retire wealthy in a few years, but a steady and sensible acquisition and reinvestment strategy can be very profitable, way above traditional stock returns as a %
