Identifying The Legitimate Online Businesses

By Alanna Murphy

The work-from-home and the make-money-online niches are extremely popular. They attract the honest and ethical as well as the liars, cheats and schemers out to get your hard-earned cash. How can someone who wants to earn money online tell which are the legitimate online businesses and which ones are run by scam artists?

How To Identify Real Businesses

When looking for a work-at-home job there are three things you should keep in mind. You should avoid any companies that put pressure on you to sign up, join or agree to work with them immediately. Any real business will want you to take your time and get the facts before agreeing to work with them.

Another characteristic of an above-board business is that they will tell you what the job is up front. They do not try and sell a list of jobs that you then have to go track down yourself. You can usually see some of the actual jobs. Keep in mind that membership sites are not the kind of scammers being referred to here.

Further, when you do your research and dig a little bit deeper, you will find positive reviews on forums and message boards or email groups. Scam sites have few positive reviews. Learn from the experience of another person and stay away from an online business that others have had a bad experience with.

Legitimate online businesses will have jobs that range from typing, virtual assistance, transcription, answering questions and more. With some persistence and investigation, you will be able to find an online job with a real company that matches your needs and earns you the extra money you need. - 2364
