Do you work at Work at Home? How did you find the job? How did you get that first interview?

Any advice for someone trying to get in?

The most important thing to remember is to never pay for a work at home job. If you have to pay it is normally quite a big flag that it is in some way a scam. It certainly wasn't the way applying for real jobs worked last time I looked! Stick to the online sites that offer genuine work at home jobs without charging. We have launched a new work at home jobs blog, network & home-based job community this year which offers advice, tips, latest news and a variety of home-based earning opportunities including an instant jobsite in partnership with Indeed...www.workwhistle.com

When you have to say something is not a scam, guess what? It's a SCAM!!

First: you have to pay a membership fee to join. That should be your first red flag. No legitimate company requires you to pay to work for them.

Second: the website says the membership fee is half price until midnight tonight! Ooh, urgency to sign-up. As if this great deal is going to expire. What are the odds that the half-price deal will still be available tomorrow? Again, you have to pay to be "employed."

Third: the website acknowledges that "99% of money making opportunities on the web are useless." Oh, but this one is different, right? This is the real deal, right? Please give me a break.

Do you think people are that stupid? Actually, this company is hoping they are that stupid. You'd have to be to join this scam.

Let me guess mOmmyx2: you get some kind of bonus/reward for signing people up, right?

People: do not get suckered into this RIPOFF!

First, find a legit company!! I had searched for two years on websites like www.wahm.com and www.ratracerebellion.com (which was on the TODAY show) and had a hard time finding something I was qualified for or that was in my area. I have, however, found a great company that has been in business for 23 years and listed with the BBB. Let me know if you'd like more information!

What a complete ripoff!! This "purchasepowerstore" is nothing but a multi-level marketing pyramid scam designed to sell you worthless products while you recruit your friends and family to do the same. There is a start-up fee, you have to buy the junk and you have to recruit others?

Oh, and I love the mispelled words and grammatical errors on their webpage, very professional . . .

Please do not get sucked into this scam!!

Well everyone has the right to their opinion; and I don't see very many websites that don't have gramitical errors. Oh!!! I didn't know Garmin GPS Systems were junk products I guess that's why almost everyone has has one; and with your smarts you didn't read the registration was free. What a simpleton you need to be jobless!!!

Hi! I just want to make a distinction here. There are valid work at home jobs but you do have to do your due diligence. Live Ops is one where you can take calls from people who are responding to an infomercial but the pay is not that great. And I also agree if it's a "work at home", you should not have to pay anything.

However . . . there are also home based businesses and the difference between work at home and home based businesses are that with working at home, you are being paid employee wages whereas with a home based business (the right one), your income is determined by the efforts you put into the business.

Because it's a home based business, there is an investment involved just like opening a restaurant or any other business of your own.

I also understand that if you're seeking work at home, you may not have that type of investment, but when you do, I would definitely consider it. Instead of working day by day, you're building residual income and there are many people who have been successful with it.

Of course, there are also many scams in home based businesses, and you have to do your due diligence there too from checking the BBB and searching the internet, but that's one great thing about the internet is that you're able to find that information even if sometimes you have to weed through it.

From a fellow home based business owner, I just wanted to add my 2 cents.

Thank you.

Kathy

I've never heard of "Plaitnum." You designed this site yourself didn't you?

Actually, it's not MLM - It's Cooperative Marketing and you don't have to recruit. You can refer to people, if you want to, but you don't have to. The company spends millions generating customers for you and you can acquire the customers from the company. So you don't have to sell and again, you don't even have to refer anyone. There are 3 ways to build the business: 1) You can personally acquire customers; 2) Refer People or 3) just acquire customers from the company.

They are actually accredited with the BBB and has strong leadership. They have a 10 year proven track record and are backed by a multi-million dollar media company that has 38 years of experience - all with no negativity on the internet and both companies not just listed with the BBB - but accredited with them too.

Also, if you really want to know what is a rip-off and what's not, take a look at www.mlmwatchdog.com. They are very good at reporting which ones are not good. There are many companies out there that have been quite successful and are not considered rip-offs.

What a joke! The website you posted is pro-MLM. They are completely biased and blinded to the fact that almost everyone who gets involved in these scams loses money. Being backed by the BBB means nothing . . .

Whatever you call it (cooperative marketing, direct marketing etc), it's still an MLM. They even compare themselves to MLM's on the Trivita website. That should be your first tip-off. You are in denial!!

This is not a business opportunity! It's just a clever marketing scheme to make you feel like you are in business when in reality, you are just another customer . . .

I found this after typing Trivita Scam into Google:

"TriVita claims not to be a multi-level-marketing or pyramid company. But TriVita reps do get a share of their customer’s future sales and any sales made by referrals of those customers. That sounds an awful lot like an MLM, or multi-level-marketing, setup to us.

Why is this a big deal? Well, look at how much lower the price of TriVita could be if the company wasn’t paying commissions to the sales people and to people they refer. And that doesn’t even begin to cover the “gift cards” and “discounts” they also offer.

So Is TriVita A Scam?

We had hoped to pronounce TriVita “not a scam” but unfortunately, it’s not a product we can recommend. It’s just too expensive and we have a real problem with some of the claims that were made about the product."

One additional note on what you're saying about MLMs. Please read this article. I think you'll find it very informative. Have a great day!

Hi Florida. TriVita is not MLM. However, in your prior posts, you were indicating all MLMs are rip-offs. You are entitled to your opinion and I respect that, however there are many people who have been very successful in MLMs. I don't want to go back and forth as you are very clear on your opinion and I am clear on mine and I think it's a waste of both our time and effort to go back and forth. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.

I think the original poster was looking for a job, not some business opportunity. Just as soon as the original poster asked a question, people went throwing out business opportunities just to get someone on their team.

Like someone else mentioned a job is different that business opportunities.

I have personally worked for TeleTech in which these guys are great. My wife and I have personally worked for TeleTech, 1800 flowers, and LiveOps. They have all paid well and aren't scams. You simply are their customer service reps. It is cheaper to pay you at home then have to supply an environment for people to work in.
