Are there any tried and true sites out there for more information?

There are none. They are all scams. They only work for those selling them.

I am a licensed insurance agent and am looking for legitimate work from home business opportunities.?
look on the internt
What about selling Wireless service Plans, this company is marketing to a unique brand of Wireless users who dont want:
Contracts, Roaming fees, Activation fees and Credit Checks.
Check it out because I signed up for the service, I hated having to buy mins and then if I dont use them all I would lose them.
It has Nationwide Unlimited coverage for 45.00 a month with Texting.
I have an opportunity for you but you might have to leave home once or twice a week to meet with people…let me know if you’re interested…
No. You might as well just take an office because agents are not there most of the time anyway. They are out selling insurance. You can always take a laptop home and work at home too.
You can hire someone to work in the office and you just show up there for appointments.
As an insurance agent you are able to sell products that usually require you to go meet with clients. There are several companies with which you can actually sell over the phone. This way you can call prospective clients and answer their life insurance needs by applying over the internet and delivering the policy via email. Please email me to learn more. Best part is that the product pays 98% of annual premium. joseph@carylevinson.com
Here are my suggestions on finding a legitimate opportunity that’s right for YOU:
– Set your financial goals — Are you just looking for extra income or a potential full-time income? How long (and hard) are you willing to work to meet your goal?
– Determine if you are looking for a JOB or a BUSINESS — there is a distinct difference between the two and you want to focus your energies appropriately for the best results.
– If looking for a JOB, what are your marketable skills and previous experiences? If you are looking for a BUSINESS, go with your passions, things that interest and motivate you the most. Build a list and use that to begin your search. General rule of thumb: Never pay for a job (businesses, on the other hand, usually involve some expenses). I recommend checking out the Telecommuting Moms folder here at WAHM.com for leads on home JOBS. I also have some resources for freelance work and telecommuting jobs on my Work From Home site.
– Review your budget — know ahead of time what you are willing and able to invest into your business, including start-up costs and ongoing maintenance and promotion.
– Find a rep to contact, check out their websites, ask questions, do your own independent research. Check resources such as http://www.bbb.org for potential scams.
I am able to tell you what has worked for me, but there are a select few work from home businesses that are legit. I have over 10 years of online Marketing experience and have tried an array of options. However, today I can honestly tell you that I found something that is real, easy, fun, you can feel good about, and works.
I have heard so many pitches before as to why a certain company could make me millions, but I was sick of hearing that. So, I will be honest with you about this opportunity. You can make a lot of money and make it fast, but it is going to take some effort on your part. The effort is completely easy though. They have online videos that walk you through the steps on setting up your business and give you tools to begin right away. They don’t stop there though, they offer so many different ways to market online, so you can choose which works best for you.
Just a few things you can learn:
1) Make money by being a middle man
2) Promote your favorite products using fee sites
3) EBay trading
4) Advertise online for companies and get paid to do it
5) And much more!
If you want to get more info visit the site below. It isn’t a pyramid scheme and offers a money back guarantee because once you see how easy it is you will want to do it forever.
Good luck!

I know a lot about this topic so please forgive the length of this reply. I have a lot of good info for you. I am a mother of two little girls who are actually tugging on my arm as I write this so I will try to be brief. Many people are looking for work from home companies. All the scams definitely create a big problem but also, there is a problem of people misunderstanding the difference between work from home “jobs” and work from home opportunities. There really are not work from home “jobs”. To get that you have to start working for a company in their offices first, then they MAY allow you to take the job home.
Most of the work from home opportunities that are legitimate offers are not an hourly pay type job. They are business opportunities that help you in starting your own business from your home.
What you should do first is to decide if you are simply looking for an hourly rate type job or if you are looking for more of an opportunity for additional income such as what you would make in your own business being your own boss from home. Many say a JOB stands for Just Over Broker and I have found that to be true as well. I never got anywhere working for others.
Small home businesses have some small costs involved, less then $100 to start is reasonable and I would stay away from those wanting $300, $500 even some asking for $1000-$5000. It doesn’t cost that much to start and run a home business so you shouldn’t pay it. The real ones will have a small monthly overhead as well. Should be around $50 a month but no more then $75. And everything should be included from your web sites to training and team support to back office accounting and booking. It’s ok to pay this overhead because it’s a business, they cost money. It’s not reasonable to assume you can run a business from home with a website and more for free so do keep that in mind as you search.
If you are coming across places that say free then I would RUN don’t walk the other way! They never are. I tried them many a times and 3 weeks later I had to buy this and 6 weeks later that. After 6 months these “free businesses” had cost me over $800 on average.
I’m a stay at home mom of two little girls as I mentioned, ages 1 and 3. I work about 15-18 hours per week for a National Medical Benefits Company. This is a home business, a nationally known and reputable home business which is what you need to make sure you are looking for. I have been with the company almost a year now and I make over $2000 a month! In your first month, depending on how many hours you can work, I have seen people make anywhere from $300 to over $3000. And your income will increase each month because we get paid residual income as well. If I continue on as I am going at the end of the year I will be making $5000 a month. My friend Becky from South Carolina started 2 years before me and she is now making $95,000 a year with this company.
The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit, life insurance and a benefits package most of which you get from day one. In addition, there are no products, no hard selling or pushing, no cold calling, no home parties and no telemarketing! That was VERY important to me.
I absolutely love working with them and I can’t believe I am making what I am making and in so few hours per week. The neat thing is there are other people on your team that you work with so you are never alone. You have great team support and you get to know the other people on your team pretty well. The support is great but I have made wonderful friends as well. I think that’s important too, especially being at home!
I was a bit apprehensive at first because I know a lot of companies are not legit but this company is the number one National Medical Benefits Company in the US. They are a member of the US Chamber of Commerce, and the National Association of Dental Plans and the owner of the company actually sits on the board of The Consumer Health Alliance to which we are also members. Also they were featured in “The New York Times”, “Wall Street Journal” “Time Magazine” and the “American Medical Review”. Even “60 Minutes” with Morley Safer did a big special on this home based business.
Even more then all this is they are accepted at over 100,000 retailers nation wide. These are fortune 500 companies like Sears, Target, Walgreens, CVS, Wal-mart, Publix and more. These companies would never work with a company that was any thing less then reputable. That made me feel very good about working with them knowing they were accepted at these stores that I frequent. Also now of course being with them I get the dental and vision benefits for free and I saved over $150 on my last visit to the dentist! That’s just a beautiful perk! : – )
When I first started I just felt very safe with them, that and my friend was already making so much money with Ameriplan. But at this point I feel a sense of security financially that our family has never had before. That plus LOV
I have been working online for over 7 years and i started and failed miserably on several home business opptys mainly because i didn’t know what i was doing and my so called sponsors only took my one time commission and never helped me succeed. I currently have two opportunities that i promote which work in tandum to each other. They are legit and have a long history. you can take a look at them and then call or email me if you’d like any more info.
