I decided to investigate a data entry ad because I’ve looked into them in the past myself and have found them to all be extremely similar.

I decided to investigate envelope stuffing  because it’s one of the most prevalent work at home ads out there (not on my site, mind you). I also thought it was appropriate because I am asked on a daily basis whether or not you can really earn a living (or make any money at all) stuffing [...]

Many times I’ve blogged about data entry ads that are all over the Internet.  Just about all of them (if not all) are scams, and I always advise against pursuing a data entry ad that you see online or in a newspaper ad.
However, that is not to say that there are not companies that hire [...]

Today there was a job posted on my site that immediately aroused suspicion.  The job was for a “package manager”.  Since I have seen many scams that involve shipping packages, I knew I should really look at this one.

This could be a very short blog post:
You apply for a work at home job just as you would for any other job- with professionalism and a resume.
But it’s not going to be a short post.
