Work From Home Safely

Hi! I’m Elaine Garrett. Not too long ago our daughter began hunting online for a way to earn money from home.

You see, she has fibromyalgia, a debilitating condition that keeps her at home most days. In fact, in the previous two months before starting her hunt for extra income, she had only been able to work 6 days. If she was not employed by the government, she would have been fired years ago.

Her first searches brought up all the usual internet scams. She invested $30, $50, $70 in work from home opportunities. None of them delivered on their promises.

Finally she found a company that offered a catalog of thousands of affiliate programs for durable goods. Our daughter only needed to choose the type of goods she was interested in selling. Then the company would build, market and host her website for a year. All this for $6,100!

Our daughter applied what I call “shopping mall” reasoning to this offer. She figured a high price tag must guarantee performance.

But she knew nothing about starting an internet business or the internet companies that prey on people like her. On the internet, price is not a guarantee of quality or performance like it is at the mall. Months later, she is still waiting for them to deliver on just one of their promises.

When I began to suspect our daughter had been victimized, I got out of retirement and began my own investigation.

I’m a former editor and features writer. My career taught me that the key to a good story is research. I know how to search for information and how to evaluate the information I find.

Just as the business writer who covers banking never worked in a bank, or the history teacher who guides students through the Civil War was not a soldier in that conflict, a journalist gathers information from many authoritative sources and reports it.

Judging from the number of scams out there, I realized that a lot of people must either have suffered our daughter’s experience or be headed down that costly path. I thought: why not share the results of my research with others searching for work at home opportunities or who want to start their own home based business?

My mission is to prevent what happened to our daughter from happening to you.

I will show you genuine opportunities for making money from home or for starting your own business. Even if you have already poured time, effort and money into a home based business that is producing little or no income, I will show you how to breathe new life into it.

You’ll see at the top of the navigation bar your opportunity to join the rss feed from this site. Because I am continuously updating information, you’ll want to read the latest stories and reports.

Let me take you on a brief tour of the personal and business resources on this site that you can trust.
