When a family determines the need to bring in more income, work-at-home options appear very desirable. They can be; however, you need to be cautious before you proceed.

I received an email from an individual asking about a particular company that touted working from home with a company called incomeathome.com. The warning flag to me was her statement that the company does want some money in order for you to work with them. In my eyes, any company that requires an investment is an automatic NO. I did a web search to learn more about this particular company. While legitimate, it is a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) firm for a vitamin supplement company. MLM is workable for specific personality types, but if you are not a strong sales type individual, this will be a poor fit for you. There are other jobs out there for you if you want to work from home, but do your homework first.

Another popular scam that my friend Dan Miller wrote about in his newsletter this week concerns a Google "Work From Home" scam. You can learn more about that scam here on Snopes.

There are a lot of opportunities that allow folks to work from home. Call centers and transcription are just a couple. Just do your homework, and don't shell out any money
