I don't even bother with them no matter how enticing it looks.

I've tried several different work from home programs. 
Most are not worth trying....
however, three years ago I learned how to dropship on ebay.  I am still working this business.
In fact, today I had my highest sales in 24 hours yet.....$1432 gross sales on ebay in 24 hours.
I am doing a little happy dance....my part time business is rocking!!

Think about it, if you have to pay for it, that's how the others make money,, not YOU!

if you have to send money to start the home earnings its probably a scam which i think it all is.  But gjod luck if you find something.  Be careful tho

No, I never do any sites that I have to pay to participate.  I can't afford that...
Have a wonderful day!

No, because no one should have to pay someone to work for them, If you find one that does not ask for money up front let me know.

Has anyone ever tried any of those online make money now schemes? Hubby had me sign up for one that overcharged my CC and then I had to build a website with no help at all only got a FREE (NOT FREE) 5 days to build a website in.  SUCKED BIG TIME So come Monday I am canceling my membership to them. Thanks in advance!

This sounds like Wealthy Affiliate and yes I did try them for a while. They did offer plenty of training and a couple of free websites, but the monthly fee was too high for most people to stay longer than 3 months or so. It does work for some people, but you need an affluent circle of influence to have much of a chance. I finally dropped it because I learned I could get the same training for free and the tools they offered I now get for a much lower cost with a higher commission. Bottom line, what I do now costs less and pays more, but I don't ever expect to get rich like some claim.

N, I always think that if it looks to good to be true, it usually is.

I guess I am of the opinion that if something sounds too good to be true, then it probably is! I once had "my" bank call me to advise me they had a better interest rate they could give me on my credit card. They asked if I could provide them with my account number in order that they could confirm my identity. Of course my thought was, if you are calling from my bank, you should already know my account number!

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions I tried to call the "COMPANY" and cancel my membership with them but the line went to voice mail imagine that! I called my bank and ordered me a new Debit card which costs $20.00 so I am only out $30.00 and wont be doing that crap anytime soon..... I am currently on Wealthy Affiliate as well but I am thinking that I would be better off doing it myself on a cheaper web hosting site.  So I am going to just let it run out and move on.  I still have THIS SITE to make me some money on! WHOOO HOO!!!! Love this site and the members are great also!!!

I've tried many of them and got suckered into them too! If it seems too good to be true then it is! I had to learn the hard way. Oh well! But I know there is something out there that is worth while and i am still looking for it. Hey, it takes money to make money but unless you have solid proof and read about the company first I would not join. Do some investigating first. Good luck! Hope you get every cent back from that company!!

Yes they seem too good to be true, and to be fair that is probably correct, money making schemes indeed.
