Melissa Rich Author – Your Virtual Home Office Can Be a Reality!

If you are in the market for a new position, new customers or a new business, you might have noticed things have changed just a bit. It seems there are more scammers out there and they are not even just companies that want to sell information via eBook for $29.95.

These are people that post jobs on Forums such as Wahm.com and claim to be legitimate companies seeking contractors to work. You contact these companies, go through the entire process of training, work for 20-30 hours and then discover they are scammers out to get work from you without paying.

These companies have hired more people than they cannot afford to pay and never had intentions to pay you for all the hard work completed.

How can you go about finding legitimate work?

I find that first and foremost word of mouth is great! I like Wahm.com simply because they are a community of people that are seeking work from home and try to help one another. If you are not familiar with a company, ask a question in the forum.  Nine times out of 10, someone in the huge community will have experience with the company and provide helpful feedback.

Finally-Always seek advice from the BBB in the city of the company in question.

A lot of people I encounter are seeking a home based job/career. It sounds wonderful but the need for legitimate home-based positions are not any easier to find than when I started 12 years ago. The scammers are even better at finding those that are considered to be newbies to the field. My advice to those just starting out in this market-Research every opportunity and if you think that it seems to good to be true, it generally is.

Look at local sites such as:

Flexjobs.com

Indeed.com

Monster.com

Or companies such as:

Live-ops

VIP desk

Convergys

There are many legitimate opportunities out there for those that are seeking long term positions working from their virtual home office. When I first started looking for work from home, I made it my full time job to research companies and opportunities. I researched at night when my family was sleeping and in the afternoons after I completed my daily work.

On these cold days, many long daily commutes are even longer due to treacherous and potentially slick roads due to snow and ice.    But I can certainly smile as look out over the snow – knowing that my home office is easily accessible and the weather will not affect my ten foot commute to my home office.   

When considering your career and working from home, it is certainly hard to measure the intrinsic value of working from home.
