No Comments »I was given a 62 page book of companies that hire people to work at home as employees or Independent Contractors, freelance opportunities and just other legitimate ways to make money. A lot of companies are not in my area of expertise like skip tracers, accountants amongst others, but with the unemployment rate at 8.5% in March I figured I would work through these links as fast as I could. I have found several dead links and I do like to do a little bit of research on them before I post them.
I will add these to the links on the side of this blog as well and individual posts so please subscribe to our feeds if you want to be updated on additions as they come out.
In the state of the economy and my personal layoffs I experienced in the last 12 months I truly believe that you need several multiple streams of income to be prepared for anything that may happen, because in many cases, if you work for a company online (just like in a regular brick and mortar business) you will get no notice if you are going to be laid off. Right now my 2 main sources of income are LiveOps and ASP, I also work FT for a 3rd company at home that I just started a week ago as an employee. I have been working at home since 1992 and will never work outside the home again. This gives me the chance to home school my son and be more in charge of my financial life.
I will be going through some links this morning before I go to work and will try and get a few links up asap!
HAPPY EASTER!!

Everyone knows that when you have a business from home or a business that is only online, that our office is our website. Just like if you were to find a store location in the “Brick and mortar” business world, you have to do the same kind of looking around when it comes to web site hosting. There is one site that I came across that makes finding a web hosting company very easy and also saves a lot of time. Now that I have several different business ventures I have had to have a couple of different web hosting companies for various reasons. Web Hosting Geeks give you a list of the top 10 best web hosts in 2009. What I like is that all the top 10 results are under $10 a month; include at least one FREE domain name and a 30 day money back guarantee! There is a 5 star web host that is under $4 a month listed there! Be sure and check out their blog at http://webhostinggeeks.com/blog/
After doing some research on this site I have moved over 2 of my websites and so far I am happy with the web hosting services. After experimenting with working outside the house for a month I can assure you that working from home either in your own business or for another company is the way to go!
YOUR OPPORTUNITY
With companies cutting back on their benefits, the first to go are dental, optical, and company paid wireless cell phones. This is causing people to have to pay for these services out-of-pocket. These services can cost people over $1,000 per year.
Our dental/optical plan costs only $12.95/month which includes savings of up to 60% on dental and optical. In addition to the dental/optical and at no extra charge, each of our members (ALSO RECEIVES) a FREE Motorola handset and 500 FREE minutes each and every month.
These benefits are available:
*Keep your same number
*Text messaging included
*Additional minutes available
*No contracts, credit checks, or overage charges
*National coverage
How can we do this? It’s simple, we do not have expensive national advertising campaigns or store fronts so we are able to pass along the savings to the consumer.
YOUR REWARDS
We are growing rapidly. We need people, part-time and full-time. If you desire, you can build a legitimate career for yourself without any investment other than your time.
During these tough economic times when hundreds of thousands of Americans have experienced financially detrimental layoffs, ASP needs people to interview applicants, to host orientations, and to be involved with sales, training and supervising others.
You will be helping people to help themselves by saving money on services that they are already paying for. We save the average family over $1,500.00 or more each year and you will feel a sense of satisfaction when they thank you for helping them in a time when they need to cut expenses. Many others will be grateful for the career opportunity you offered. If you’re planning on working a few hours a week, you will probably earn about $200.00. If you work full time, $1,000.00 a week is easily achievable.
PERSONNEL ASSOCIATE
Working in our personnel department is fun and rewarding for all associates. With today’s cost of living on the rise, there is nothing more satisfying than being able to offer families a legitimate earning opportunity. This job is well suited for associates who have strong communication skills and a lively personality. Average earning income: $200-$500 per week part time. Part time and full time management opportunities are also available.
ORIENTATION HOST
As an Orientation Host your job would simply be to teach new associates how to distribute referral cards. There is no sales experience necessary in this position. All that you need is the ability to work with people, good communicative skills, and a helpful nature.
ENROLLMENT SPECIALIST
We have made arrangements with our telephone carrier to have the ability to route inbound sales calls directly to your home. You will simply answer questions that customers have and enroll them in our plans.
Average earning income: $200-$800 per week working part time to full time.
If you are interested in working with me please call me at 813-990-0802 and ask for Michelle you can also fax your resume to me at 813-364-1807. I will set up an interview asap. If you live in the Tampa Bay area we have weekly meetings at a local cafe every week! This is a telecommute position. You must have high speed internet access. Weekly Pay via direct deposit! Management positions also available! Background check required.
I decided to do some research and to prove to myself that getting a J.O.B. (Just Over Broke) outside of the home or working for anyone else for that fact in most cases (in a call center) is a complicated mess!
I decided to take a day job at KB Promotions. Well, first of all ANY ONE can get a job there. If you say yes you want the job you got it in 99.99% of the cases. They tell you you will make $100’s even $1000’s of dollars a WEEK. Wow too good to be true? It is. First my job was to give away “free” cruises (I use that term VERY lightly!!!!!!!!)The FREE cruise costs over $500 and requires you to have a valid credit card. I lasted 1-1/2 days. Wanna know why? Here is a partial list of reasons why.
- Don’t sound overly stimulated and excited that the person you are calling just won a FREE cruise to the Bahamas? Guess what! You just got fined $100 because you are being rude!
- To work there you have to pay THEM $20 a week.
- Don’t want to use a handset (Trust me you want a headset) sign this form and we will take $60 out of your first paycheck. (a used one at that!)
- If a caller is not interested in the free cruise and they tell you so you have to keep that lead active so I guarantee you that within a few hours they WILL get another “Congrats you just won a FREE Cruise (again) and they will continue to do so until the caller says to take my name off your list. Then pray the agent actually writes your name on the DNC list and when you turn that paper in to whomever that it actually gets acted on.
- Your “fines” can be anywhere from $100-$2500.
- If a customer does a charge back on their credit card and you were paid commission on that package you have to pay the company back.
- They play bee-bop music at dance club levels to make you “Motivated and excited”! 1/2 the time you can not hear the caller on the other end.
- You have people in ALL directions SCREAMING (literally!!) at the TOP of their lungs. Bells are ringing, people clapping and running all the time but not many are making sales. Hmmmm.
- If you are a “Veteran” there, meaning you been there more than 1 month, you are told by the trainers that they are LOSERS and LAZY?! What?!
- Don’t make any commissions and you make min wage that week.
- You are not an employee but an Independent Contractor BUT you have no rights and are treated as crap.
- The sales meetings are full of cursing and very foul language!
- I talked to 3 people at my table who have recently been in jail or are on probation. Guess what? These same criminals are taking your credit card information. There are no background checks or drug test. Many people wear sunglasses inside while working.
- You get a 15-20 min lunch. Go over, I swear you will be in deep trouble. Did I tell you you have to carry Pooh Bear with you while on break? I kid you not!
- You are not paid for time in the sales meetings every day. 30 minutes min.
- If you are not speaking loud enough someone will walk behind you and kick your chair hard.
- If you yawn you are yelled at and criticised on the call center floor.
- They have Power Hours where you HAVE to stand up while on a call. They also raise the volume of the music.
- This is just a few of the problems I experienced.
Want to do Customer service work. Do your homework BEFORE applying for call center jobs anywhere. I will be doing more research on this subject.
I consider myself very lucky! Despite the recession and being hired for a short term seasonal management position that pays very well that I can do at home, I am still working at home with no layoff in site. So I went out and bought myself a new car! I got a Kia Sedona and I have to say I am loving it! I was able to finance on my own and get the car I wanted and at the price range I wanted. It could not have worked out any better! It was a real good feeling to go to a major dealership and get approved for a car loan! It just shows my hard work at improving my life, credit etc is paying off! Now we can travel without worrying. I even signed up for AAA premium just so I can get discounts. Now the only good/bad thing is I have 3 different road side assistant programs lol.
So, since my car payments are higher I decided to go back to blogging to make extra money. So I did a google search and found so many new links for bloggers to make money! I am testing them out before I post them here just to make sure that they will work out for most who blog.
I am a firm believer that if you have an Internet connection, a computer and a brain, there is no reason why you can not make money at home! Of course a paypal account is also needed for many work at home jobs, especially for blogging payments.
So be on the lookout for some new links under blogging opportunities links. I will also be weeding out the old ones.
