| Frequently Asked Questions | |
Based on feedback from our customers and referrals, we have compiled separate lists of Frequently Asked Questions for the different programs we sponsor. Please use the links in the left navigation pane to access the FAQ for the appropriate program.
Below we have provided responses to general questions about work from home, home based business, how to make money on the internet, business opportunity, MLM, and network marketing.
Work at home JOB or Home BUSINESS? Which one should I choose?
Here are our suggestions on finding a legitimate opportunity that's right for YOU:
- Set your financial goals -- Are you just looking for extra income or a potential full-time income? How long (and hard) are you willing to work to meet your goal?
- Determine if you are looking for a JOB or a BUSINESS -- there is a distinct difference between the two and you want to focus your energies appropriately for the best results.
- If looking for a JOB, what are your marketable skills and previous experiences? If you are looking for a BUSINESS, go with your passions, things that interest and motivate you the most. Build a list and use that to begin your search. General rule of thumb: Never pay for a job (businesses, on the other hand, usually involve some expenses). I recommend checking out the Telecommuting Moms folder here at WAHM.com for leads on home JOBS. I also have some resources for freelance work and telecommuting jobs on my Work From Home site.
- Review your budget -- know ahead of time what you are willing and able to invest into your business, including start-up costs and ongoing maintenance and promotion.
- Find a rep to contact, check out their websites, ask questions, do your own independent research. You can get an idea of what others here are doing by visiting the sites listed in our signatures.

How can I determine if a program is a pyramid scheme?
For starters, a pyramid scheme usually pays only on the act of recruiting others into the scheme. All of the companies that we represent pay ONLY when sales occur. Period. You can earn nothing for recruiting. To put it another way, these programs are based on sales, not recruiting.
Another major difference is that our recommended programs have substantial sales to retail customers, persons not affiliated with them. In a pyramid scheme, it's a "closed circle" with only those in the scheme buying from each other, and buying primarily for the right to recruit others into the scheme.

The standard test to determine if any program is a pyramid scheme is...
1. Does it have retailable products?
2. Are those products actually being retailed?
3. Can you earn money if you don't recruit anyone?
Our recommended programs answer with a resounding YES to ALL THREE.
