Goggle ' Is Real Work at Home Possible? '
It seems that there are a lot of scams going on.
And that's probably why the moderators don't like links here.

Hmm:)

Exactly correct. I have an open mind but as the poster is from what appears to be Bhopal, India I am somewhat suspicious. That is where a couple of large spam companies are located.

This thread bears watching.

You could offer admin to small businesses. That is if you are not a spam head.

Of course there are! Actually a lot of business opportunities and they vary from one another depending on your skill and interest.

20 months between spam seed and fruition! is this a record - a pink spiced ham sort of record?

Spam doesn't grow on trees you know. It's mined in Cornwall - or maybe that's corned beef?

Just read that Sir Paul McCartney's veggie ready meals factory is in a place called Faken-ham.

I wish I could help you but my experience with the home business, as advertised on the internet, has led me to believe that it is all a  scam.  Please do not invest your money in one of these scams.  Thanks for comments.  Joe L. Ogan

That's incredibly simplistic (and highly inaccurate) to write off ALL home based businesses as scams in one fell swoop!

To cite just ONE small example, many people are doing very well financially simply by buying and selling on eBay from home! Another one: secretarial services. Another one: music recording and engineering.......(_legitimate_) market research surveys......consumer and industrial (_legitimate_) telephone sales.........customer service...........technical support..........andonandonandon.............

Hello, Friieda. If I were you, I would contact demografx and solicit his help.  He appears very knowledgeable about this sort of endeavor.  I am sure that he would be glad to help you.  Just be careful about putting money into the endeavor that you can not afford to lose.  If it works out, please let me know as I would certainly like to know about such successful ventures.  Thanks for comments.  Joe L. Ogan

Cute diversion, JLO, but please don't speak for me and what I can or can't or should or shouldn't do for Friieda.

I was merely pointing out that you shouldn't make blanket, unfounded, negative statements here, i.e., "it [a home based business] is all a scam."

Thank you very much, sir. [:)]

Hi, Friieda.  Please disregard my suggestion.  I would not want someone to think that I was speaking for anyone else.  Thanks for comments.  Joe L. Ogan
