It seems the internet is the best and worst place to find "Everything you always wanted to know but were afraid to ask". That includes working from home. When looking for work in person, do you expect to pay to get work? Of course not. So why then when looking for work on the internet do we consider it the norm to pay to work? Ok so, we shouldn't expect to get something for free, right? Wrong! I think getting information that you've spent hours to find and/or research, google, read isn't "getting it for free". Isn't the time you spent worth $$$'s an hour? But, I must add, starting any business, you can expect to spend more time and money in the startup.
I thought the business my husband's in (Upholstery) was a way for people to get their furniture, boats and cars done cheaply. Was I ever shocked and enlightened when I started helping out! It's custom and there's nothing cheap about having things custom made. If you upholster your own, you save (and if it's a hobby). Because even doing your own upholstery, the time, material and labor that goes into it (should you add the $$$'s up)...still is rather pricey. But if you love doing it, you'll just overlook the labor that you spend doing it. I'm the Upholstery Guy's wife and HE can't do it for free, Lil Joe will but his wife won't let him and neither will I. (lol)
In the past, I've made about $100 in gift cards to Walmart reading emails (about things I couldn't care less about). Even with DSL, it was time consuming and it take months for it to accumlate. Needless to say, I won't be striking it rich with that venture.
When I get to the end of this blog and ask my readers to suggest work-at-home ventures they have tried that work or we should not walk but run from, please don't suggest the oldest profession in the world. I haven't tried it but I wouldn't make much doing that either. I'm not that street savvy.
So now readers, here's my question: What work-at-home (online or off) business have you experienced /ventured into? Oh, let me add this note, the last thing in the world I want is a saleperson who comes with all their literature, dvds to watch and this hard sales pitch that I need to act on this now before the offer ends or the price goes up.
