A short post on homeworking scams, as a beginner in working from home using the Internet, but with a good background in computing and Internet use I am aware that the Internet is home to a great many scams and hustles. Don't let this deter you however just be vigilant and remember if something appears too good to be true it probably is. That said the majority of Internet businesses and schemes are run by people like yourself, honest homeworkers trying to make a living. Now to the point of this particular post In my travels around the net looking into possible means of working from home I came across this site which has some good advice on spotting and dealing with homeworking scams amd is definitely worth a look and they provide a couple of interesting freebies as well (note online auction ebook at bottom of page - not bang up-to-date but still useful information). Web addres for Scambusters - http://www.scambusters.org/ check it out you could save money time and a whole lot of grief.

Hello to all
@ 28/12/2005 – 08:29:51
This is the first posting I have made on a new blog which will look into oppportunities for UK residents to work from home using the internet.
I have decided to create this blog to help others who have found themselves in the position of either wanting to work from home. Or who like myself have been placed in a position where working from home has become the only viable option for employment.
A little about myself and how all this came about. I am a well educated 42 Year old male with a background in engineering and construction mainly, although I have worked in wide range of jobs some of which would appear highly unlikely if you actually knew me. I'll post a bit more about my working history later if only to convince others that your current working or non-working background makes no difference to your ability to work from home using the internet.
My personal reasons for working from home are enforced due to medical problems. I have a condition affecting my joints, this is caused by the ligaments in my body being "too loose" the result of this is a lot of pain in the joints at times mainly back, neck and hips although any joint in my body can be affected.
I've told you about my medical problems not to try to gain any sympathy (although any sympathetic atractive ladies who might wwish to come and look after me would always be welcomed
), the reason I have mentioned this is in fact to point out that anyone can make use of the vast resource that the internet has become, and physical ability is not required, merely the ability to spot an opportunity and act on it.So how is this all going to work? well I have been looking into various ways of making money from home using the internet and will post reviews of different ideas, schemes etc that I find personally to work, I intend to ensure that anything I post can be run from the UK as many on-line opportunities are US-centric and might not be of practical use to UK nationals. I will however look into opportunities that can be run from any location worldwide to cater for those who are not UK based, but the main emphsis of this blog will always be towards UK homeworkers.
Now the big question WHY DO I WANT TO GIVE YOU THIS INFORMATION AT NO COST TO YOU?, anyone who has been looking for homeworking opportunities online has seen thousands of adverts offering to SELL information on how to make a living online.
Well in a way I'm not that different, any projects schemes etc that I endorse after trying them will most likely be part of an affiliate scheme, therefore if I find an opportunity that is right for you and you take it up using my link then I will receive a commission, but remember I do not expect any payment for providing the information in the post, I know how hard it is to get started and I genuinely want to find real opportunities to share with you, if I find something good it's not really going to affect any income I might make, the internet is just too vast for my reccomendations to impact on me personally so why not share? And as I've already said it could actually make me some income as well.
Well thats it for now, if you find this post interesting then remeber to check back, there should be some reviews online soon and hopefully It'll be of something right for you, I'll also let you know if I come across any definate scams, unfortunately there are plenty about.
all the best,
Graham
